Dedicated to Your Physical Transformation
It wasn’t until half way through today’s training session that I realized I was doing the wrong workout. LOL! Rather than saying I’m just getting old and losing my mind, I’ll say that I went with instinctive training today. My chest and back needed the work more than delts and arms, I guess… [Read more…]
Doing Feet-forward Smith-machine squats first always gives me some apprehension–especially at 6:50 a.m. And doing 20 reps on the first set to near failure really wakes a guy up. Lol. But, it also shocks the anabolic environment for overall growth. Gotta love that… [Read more…]
I botched up the workout a bit today by not remember to hit the grocery store last night. The result was a really low pump level, as I was out of my usual pre-training food, so I had a handful of almonds instead. Add that to the fact that I trained several hours after eating. Not ideal… [Read more…]
Getting good at these full-body workout sessions–felt strong all the way through today. I’m even thinking about doing a drop or rest/pause set on the last set of some exercises to up the growth ante a bit. Here’s today’s workout–felt great… [Read more…]
I made a few exercise changes from last Friday’s workout. That’s part of my change-to-gain plan. For example, last Friday I did DB stiff-legged deadlifts for hams; today it was Flat-back hyperextensions–and I did a static-hold in the stretch position after the last set: Change to gain with ending pain. Lol…. [Read more…]
I went with DP 3X only again today – somewhat due to scheduling, but mostly due to the fact that I wanted to try yesterday’s approach with more intensity… [Read more…]
It’s tough knowing Smith-machine squats are first on the agenda with an MMX Pyramid. It’s even tougher at 6:45 in the morning–in a summer heatwave. After the first high-rep set, my shirt begins to show sweat. By the time I’m done with legs, I’m soaked–but I still have upper body. Full-body training is grueling but also invigorating. I keep reminding myself that many legendary bodybuilders, including Steve Reeves, preferred full-body training because the body grows best when be worked as a unit–or so the theory goes. [Read more…]
I was going to alternate the superset sequence every other workout, and I might still do that, but I liked this sequence so much on Friday that I duplicated it today… [Read more…]
Feels like back to the future for my workouts–full-body three days a week. I don’t think I’ve done full-body workouts consistently since I was in my 20s–but this time with a POF and MMX twist. Training every muscle three times a week but with a different exercise each workout (POF–midrange, stretch or contracted). [Read more…]
Holy pump! Chest and back were on fire and stretching my shirt as far as it would go. Pays to wear your 5-year old’s clothes, I guess. LOL!… [Read more…]
