I discussed bumping up the intensity/volume with either an add-on drop set or rest/pause (R/P). The rest/pause add-on won (the number in parentheses)–but even that small amount of extra work with a static hold after, I had to cut it short, as you’ll see… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (fast muscle blast)
Super-TORQ MMX
I made a last-minute change as I walked into the gym this morning. Still loving the Super-TORQ, so I’m not changing that up quite yet, but I decided to change the exercises up to see how it would feel – as usual, the pump was unreal. The number of reps for the first few sets make it look like the workout will take forever, but the limited rest between sets makes it a pretty fast muscle blast…
Steve: Full-Body MMX (extended sets)
The shapely blonde gal who was on the Smith machine Wednesday was on the leg extension today. Yep, again she got in my way–but that’s okay. I simply did calves first, which felt great. And on every exercise today I tried to do some form of extended sets–from X Reps to Static Holds to Supersets… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Flex Friday)
3D MMX
It’s a good thing I don’t have any mirrors in my gym, or I’d have been all over the Flex Friday party. LOL! Maybe not, but it was a great workout, and going from Super-TORQ early in the week to a more standard 3D/POF today is a great combo…
Steve: Full-Body MMX (mass mix-up)
Felt great, very energetic, as I hit the gym at 6:50 this morning. I was psyched for Smith-machine squats–but a nice-looking gal was on it, so I had to start with Seated calf raises. Finished–she’s still on the Smith machine. On to chest. Done–she’s still on it. Damn. I got all the way through back before she was finally off. Sheesh. The silver lining is that I was more energetic for calves, chest and back–not having done Smith squats yet. More good news–anabolic drive was kicked up with squats right before delts and arms. So maybe this mass mix-up was a good thing–change to gain… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body MMX (mega pump)
My last workout was Thursday, so I’ve had three full days of recovery (with a few runs in there too). The result: mega pump today. By the end of the workout I looked like I’d added 10 pounds of muscle. Motivating–and I felt great after. So my two-workout week worked well for revitalizing me. Here’s what I did today… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (TORQ Power)
Super-TORQ MMX
I woke up looking forward to the TORQ power I’d be dealing with from the workout this morning. Well, I was somewhat looking forward to the workout and a whole lot looking forward to the insane, skin-stretching pump…
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Finally Friday)
POF MMX
It’s finally Friday! No, that’s not just excitement for the weekend, but also happiness that the soreness from Monday’s workout finally subsided. I was still sore from head to toe yesterday morning, so I took it as a much-needed recovery day. The Super-TORQ did it’s job, so I went with POF work today to balance the pain through the week. LOL…
Steve: Full-Body MMX (stretch-holds)
I’ve been trying to use stretch-holds at the end of the last set of every exercise–or X-Rep partials. It really ups the intensity considerably. The recent study by Jacob Wilson, Ph.D.,showed significant increases in muscle size using that method. But today I noticed something: It does take a toll. I was wiped out after today’s workout…
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Pumptastic!)
Super-TORQ MMX
Apparently variation is the name of the game lately, but it’s keeping the motivation high. Today’s workout was pumptastic, but not egotastic. LOL! I went with the excruciating joy of Super-TORQ and tried to keep an MMX twist in the mix…
