This is my back-off week, so I did full-body MMX on Monday; today, Thursday, I did a more abbreviated session, including opposing-muscle supersets–although some of them weren’t with antagonist supersets, as you’ll see… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (F-Bomb Central)
Super-TORQ MMX
I don’t know what it was today, but the intensity was ultra high. Maybe because it’s the first day of September and creeping into my favorite time of the year? Who knows, but it was F-Bomb Central. I rarely cuss, even when training hard, but today was fully uncensored. LOL! [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (StatX)
Last Monday I bumped up the intensity and volume a bit with a Rest/Pause add-on. Doing that on so many exercises that covered my entire body wiped me out (hey, I’m old–Lol), so I backed off today to just a StatX or X-Rep add-on. Drained at the end, but felt good–and the pump was excellent… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (high to low)
Wednesday I did antagonist supersets, all moderate reps and the workout was reduced volume. Today it was back to MMX–high to low reps. Felt great–so good in fact that I may stick with the more abbreviated superset workout on Wednesdays. Hey, change to gain… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (antagonist supersets)
Woke up feeling under the weather. I entertained the idea of missing, but I decided I wasn’t that bad off. All I needed was a shorter, less-intense version of MMX, which is where antagonist-muscle supersets come in. Supersets can be intense, but I did the first round as X-centric, a 1/6 rep cadence, on most exercises. I upped the weight for the second round and did around 10 reps for each exercise. Worked great, and I was done in about 35 minutes… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (14-year anniversary)
Super-TORQ MMX
It was a celebratory Tuesday training blast this morning. Today marks the 14-year anniversary of when we first launched our X-Rep site with our first e-book, The Ultimate Mass Workout. I celebrated by trying not to cry from the deep muscle burn this morning. LOL… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (Rest/Pause add-on)
I discussed bumping up the intensity/volume with either an add-on drop set or rest/pause (R/P). The rest/pause add-on won (the number in parentheses)–but even that small amount of extra work with a static hold after, I had to cut it short, as you’ll see… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (extended sets)
The shapely blonde gal who was on the Smith machine Wednesday was on the leg extension today. Yep, again she got in my way–but that’s okay. I simply did calves first, which felt great. And on every exercise today I tried to do some form of extended sets–from X Reps to Static Holds to Supersets… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (mass mix-up)
Felt great, very energetic, as I hit the gym at 6:50 this morning. I was psyched for Smith-machine squats–but a nice-looking gal was on it, so I had to start with Seated calf raises. Finished–she’s still on the Smith machine. On to chest. Done–she’s still on it. Damn. I got all the way through back before she was finally off. Sheesh. The silver lining is that I was more energetic for calves, chest and back–not having done Smith squats yet. More good news–anabolic drive was kicked up with squats right before delts and arms. So maybe this mass mix-up was a good thing–change to gain… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Tuesday Torture)
Super-TORQ MMX
Since the “pain” is so good, maybe Tuesday Torture isn’t the right phrase. “Torcher” is a better word choice, because chest and back were on fire! Shoulders were, too, but that was a combination of workout fatigue with soreness building from yesterday’s workout… [Read more…]
