I hit the gym with a lot of motivation. My full-body workout was swirling in my head, and I was telling myself, “Okay, you need to add this for chest and that for delts.” Then I realized that the reason I was motivated: I was recovered from my last workout on Tuesday. Why add more work and possibly drain and overtrain myself? It’s one reason I often say that motivation can be your enemy. I came to my senses and pretty much mirrored Tuesday’s workout–with a few exercise switches… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Thunderstruck)
Today’s workout had me thunderstruck, just like our weather over the past 24 hours. Not only did we have the huge storm yesterday morning, but after a clear and sunny day, we ended up with an even bigger storm last night. Complete with flooded roads, 60-70 MPH winds, and plenty of downed trees in the neighborhood… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body (opposing-muscle supersets)
I had such a great workout last week with opposing-muscle supersets that I decided to continue with it today. It took me a few rounds to get going, but once the blood was flowing, motivation and a big pump showed up big… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Labor Day)
POF
Late start on the workout, but it’s Labor Day, so no feelings of rushing to get things done. I was in the mood for a fairly “normal” workout, so I went with mostly basic POF moves, but used supersets on arms to keep the intensity up a bit… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Fast Friday)
POF MMX
That felt like an oddly fast Friday workout, but it turns out I was just focused and amped up. I also made it a point to stick with the 35-second rest periods to make sure everything moved along nicely for more density with my intensity… [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…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Swole Patrol)
Super-TORQ MMX
This morning’s workout proved that it’s much better to time your pre-training meals well. Arms were on swole patrol this morning, and I’m convinced that it’s because I got into the gym on time – for a change. I wasn’t hungry, so I seemed to have enough fuel to get a solid workout and a ridiculous pump…
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…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (real-deal MMX)
POF MMX
I’ve been bouncing around with techniques and sticking with Super-TORQ MMX early in the week, but I went back to real-deal MMX today. It’s been a few weeks since I actually did it by the book, but it reminded me of how great the routine really is… [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…]
