POF MMX
Our latest e-zine about 10×10 training got me thinking that would be an ideal variation for some new mass creation – or at least something fun to experiment with that I haven’t used in a couple of years…
Steve: Full-Body MMX (anabolic drive)
I always wake up on Wednesdays with fear plus excitement. I know I have to hit the gym and attack a grueling 20-rep set of Feet-forward Smith-machine squats right off the bat–at 6:50 a.m. Fear. But it’s also exciting because I know that the hypoxia from that set, as well as from the lower-rep sets after (10, 8), can trigger overall muscle growth–anabolic drive. Good motivation to hit the rest of the workout hard–and grow like never before…
Steve: Full Body MMX (metabolic uptick)
I made a small change to gain today–and it created a big metabolic uptick. The change: After my high-rep set, I stuck with the same weight for the second two sets. In other words, I added weight for my second set, when stayed at that weight for my third. That gave me a few more reps on every exercise. I was surprised at how doing only 2 to 3 extra reps per exercise all the way through took a serious metabolic toll. In fact, I had to go home and take a nap–not kidding. I was wiped out. Bonus: The pump was bigger too…
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (Massive Monday)
POF MMX
Back on track with the proper training sequence. I was in the mood for some change, and I’m liking the DP 3X so much that I used that on everything, even the supersets. Made it feel like Massive Monday…
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (fantastic Friday)
POF MMX
While I somehow managed the wrong workout yesterday, it made for a fantastic Friday workout. The last day of the week always means a great workout, but having delts and arms land on a Friday makes it even better… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (anabolic environment)
MMX Pyramid
Doing Feet-forward Smith-machine squats first always gives me some apprehension–especially at 6:50 a.m. And doing 20 reps on the first set to near failure really wakes a guy up. Lol. But, it also shocks the anabolic environment for overall growth. Gotta love that… [Read more…]
Steve: Full-Body Workout (MMX Pyramid)
Getting good at these full-body workout sessions–felt strong all the way through today. I’m even thinking about doing a drop or rest/pause set on the last set of some exercises to up the growth ante a bit. Here’s today’s workout–felt great… [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts, Arms (outdoor fun)
As great as summer is for outdoor fun and activities, the heat can drop off any time now and we’d be very happy. With a heat index hovering between 105-110, we can’t even do anything outside, but it makes me happy to train in a basement where it’s relatively cool… [Read more…]
Steve: Full Body (MMX Pyramid)
I made a few exercise changes from last Friday’s workout. That’s part of my change-to-gain plan. For example, last Friday I did DB stiff-legged deadlifts for hams; today it was Flat-back hyperextensions–and I did a static-hold in the stretch position after the last set: Change to gain with ending pain. Lol…. [Read more…]
Jonathan: Delts and Arms (DP 3X)
Timing is not in my favor today for delts and arms. I was originally going to be heading out of town at the crack of dawn, but plans changed. That should’ve meant plenty of time for the gym, but other scheduling conflicts are in full force, but I wasn’t going to miss a great workout… [Read more…]
