Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (winter width)

The first full day of the new season, so it was all about winter width today. Chest-and-back attack to be exact. LOL! I stuck with yesterday’s simplistic approach, and the results were great. An efficient workout with a tremendous pump… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (throw up Thursday)

Combine supersets, minimal downtime for “rest” periods, and a stomach full of too much water and you get the perfect ingredients for throw up Thursday. LOL! Okay, maybe it was just nausea, but there was a lot of it. Nothing came up, though, other than a significant pump and some good lung conditioning… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (turtle back)

Another great one, despite the nice weather. Yes, I get better workouts when it’s cold out. Chest and back got a ferocious pump, and I started laughing when I focused on just how full my lats and midback felt – flashing back to how my wife refers to a well-developed back as a turtle back… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Cyber Monday)

Great holiday weekend, with the exception of everyone in our home having a cold. It was nice to stay mellow up until Cyber Monday, but with everyone getting a bit antsy (myself included), it was great to get into the gym this morning…. [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Turkey Prep.)

I was running a bit late for the gym this morning, but it’s all about turkey prep. this next few days, so I had to go 100% regardless of timing. LOL! Great workout, and it’s so efficient currently that there was no need to rush to get the workout in, and I can feel my muscles ready to absorb a whole lot of turkey protein on Thursday… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Throbbing Thursday)

Some minor changes this morning made for a throbbing Thursday. Chest and back were in super-pump mode, and abs felt like they got a much more severe thrashing that usual… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (swole patrol)

I felt like I was on swole patrol this morning. No supersets for chest and back together today, so it gave me a bit more focus on each area. Strength felt like it’s gone up a bit, too, so a win-win. Plus, the weather’s cooling down a bit more, so workouts are going to keep getting better… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (inflated Friday)

Supersets were the name of the game today, so it was an inflated Friday for chest and back. The workout was quick and efficient, and it felt like I plugged my air compressor into my upper body. LOL… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (double-X-rated)

Today’s workout was almost a duplicate of last Monday, but it was a double-X-rated version with DXO (Double-X Overload) on the stretch exercises. Not much time added to the workout at all, but a significant benefit from the added time under tension at the key stretch point… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (chest-back attack)

Today’s chest-back attack was almost a duplicate of Monday’s workout, but with more strength and focus. Of course, that also equates to a better feel and more pump, so it was a great one all around… [Read more…]
