Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Monday Mass Attack)

I was amped up for a solid Monday Mass Attack after a nice holiday-infused weekend. Gotta love this time of year! We had a Christmas party to go to in the afternoon yesterday, but I was so motivated that I slipped a pre-party workout in for chest and back. That meant this morning was delts and arms – one of my favorites… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Strength Surge)

Big strength surge today, but that’s easy to explain. Too many days of being sick combined with ample Thanksgiving leftover intake and extreme focus meant today was going to be a winner no matter what. Focus and intensity were extreme this morning… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Turkey Time)

Perfect timing for a cold/flu. Yes, that was definite sarcasm. It’s Turkey Time tomorrow, and I came down with a little something on Monday night. Actually, the whole family seems to have the same thing. I took yesterday as a rest from training, hoping to recover and go 100% today. No such luck. I felt the need to train, however, so I dialed it back a bit to make sure I’m feeling decent enough for high volumes of turkey intake tomorrow… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Freeze-Flex)

It officially feels like November in the gym now, so it was a bit of a Freeze-Flex Friday. If you’ve followed our training blogs for a while, you’ll know that’s a good thing for me, though. I love me some cold-weather training. I may never fully understand why, but intensity and focus is always increased when the air is cold… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (early-to-rise)

It was an early-to-rise Tuesday. Really early! We had a storm blow through in the wee hours of the morning, and the lighting lit up my mind, so all I could think about was everything I needed to get done today—despite the fact that I could’ve slept for several more hours. Early workout meant extra caffeine and no rush, however, so despite the minimal sleep, it was a shockingly good one today… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (POF pump)

It was a great POF pump for all muscle groups today, and that’s despite the fact that I completely forgot to use DXO on the stretch movements. LOL! I guess the last delts and arms day was so great that my subconscious decided to duplicate the workload… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (ferocious Friday)

The shoulder and arm pump today made for a ferocious Friday workout. Just a few minor alterations over Tuesday’s workout to keep things interesting, and I walked out of the gym feeling incredible… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Royally Pumped)

Royally pumped today, and not just because of the Royals World Series Victory Parade. Shoulders and arms felt extra swollen today – probably the biggest pump I’ve had in over a month. Great stuff… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Delts, Arms (back to business)

It was all about getting back to business this morning. You may have noticed my schedule last week wasn’t exactly a regular one. It’s funny that after nearly 24 years of training, you still have to be ready for the unexpected. Nothing bad, just a week that had a lot of last-minute issues to deal with. Back to the muscle-blasting party this morning though… [Read more…]

Steve: Full-Body (opposing supersets)

Once I got started today, I realized that Wednesdays should actually be a pared down version of my Monday and Friday full-body workouts. That will create “undulating” intensity/volume to avoid overtraining. Unfortunately, I didn’t do much to downshift today. In fact, I began with a pretty rigorous superset of two types of squats and actually added a superset. D’oh!… [Read more…]
