Ultimate Mass Move: One-Hit Chest-Back Attack

Q: I just got the Power-Density Mass Workout 2.0. Absolutely one of the best muscle-building guides I’ve ever read. I’m very interested in [Mr. America] Doug Brignole’s one-exercise-per-muscle high-rep method [50-40-30-20-10]. The problem is that it’s tough deciding which single move is best for each target muscle. He likes decline dumbbell presses for chest, but I’m thinking bench presses. What are your thoughts on that? And what about back? I see Brignole likes T-bar rows as his only upper-back exercise.

A: We like decline dumbbell presses. It’s one of the best overall pec moves; however, unlike Brignole we see the value of inclines as well (more on that in a moment). [Read more…]

Best Chisel-Your-Chest Exercise

Cable flye start

Q: I’ve been using cable crossovers as my contracted-position exercise in my 3D Positions-of-Flexion chest routine. I do them last for tension, occlusion, and a final pump, but I’m not getting the right feel and not seeing much of a pump. Do you have any form suggestions to make them better?

A: Cable crossovers are a good contracted-position chisel-your-chest exercise—if you have decent nerve-to-muscle connections in your pec muscles. Those who don’t tend to shift the torso forward and backward during the exercise, to bring in more front delts and even lats. We prefer a similar exercise that forces strictness… [Read more…]

Stretch to Etch Slashing Muscle Detail

Lawson incline flye stretch

Q: I’m trying to get that crisp division between my pecs. I want to be able to see the inner part of my chest muscles from the lower part all the way up to the collarbone. I do lots of cable crossovers, but I’m only seeing a bit of detail in my lower chest. Any suggestions?

A: One problem may be fat in the area. A bit of adipose covering the pecs will blur or negate any detail. You need to be fairly lean to see the chest-muscle division (cleavage) from top to bottom.

Jonathan: Intense Tuesday (chest, lats, triceps, abs)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Incredibly intense Tuesday workout! I can’t take all the credit for the internal focus today, though, as this was the first time I’ve used a pre-workout supplement in ages. At least a year, I’m sure, but the results were pretty undeniable. Fierce workout with an almost abnormal pump. Those are good things… [Read more…]

Steve: Wicked-Pump Wednesday (iso-legs; MMX delts, arms; upper-body circuit)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I kept everything the same as last Wednesday – except I ended with a 4-move upper-body circuit. Great way to augment the pump and get some auxiliary work for chest and back…

Jonathan: Hellfire Workout (Chest, Lats, Triceps)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Holy Hellfire Workout! My new work schedule is taking some adjusting to, so my new 1-hour training time had to get squeezed into 30 minutes. I had no intention of reducing the workload (except for abs), and I definitely wasn’t going to skip the workout. That meant 3o minutes of pain, but it was surprisingly good – mostly… [Read more…]

Steve: Fired-Up Friday (MMX Compound Aftershock)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I was motivated today, but for some reason my lower back wasn’t. Felt like a minor impingement, so I avoided Semi-stiff-legged deadlifts and simply did two sets of Flat-back hypers. The DB squats were no problem on my back, so those stayed in–wicked burn done immediately after high-rep Sissy squats…

Jonathan: Fatigued Friday

Jonathan Lawson before after

Big changes in my little world over the last 24 hours, and they’re all good for a change. That said, it seems my mind wasn’t as relaxed as I was expected when it came time for some shut-eye. With about 4 hours of sleep, I was expecting a fully fatigued Friday workout, but I had a shocking amount of energy. Thank you pot-o-coffee… [Read more…]

Steve: Show-Muscle Wednesday (MMX Aftershock arms & delts)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
I hit arms and shoulders with MMX Compound Aftershock; I used one or two isolation-move sets for legs, chest and back. Great workout–gotta love focusing on delt/arm pump…

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs (Torched Tuesday)

Jonathan Lawson before after

That was a hardcore Torched Tuesday Workout. Chest and triceps were particularly on fire, but lats were in the deep-burn zone, too. Funny that I wasn’t actually feeling 100% (let’s just call it “stomach issues”), but strength was up and focus was unreal… [Read more…]
