Steve: Full-Body MMX (speed drop)

I got such a unique quad and glute sensation from Cable squats last Friday, I kept them in today. Gotta thank Mr. America Doug Brignole for that one. Who would’ve thought that holding a low-cable handle in each hand, stepping back and squatting would have such a great hypertrophic effect. The rest of my workout stayed the same as well. This is a great Friday full-body mass attack…

Jonathan: Full Body (Full-Body Finale?)

Another chance to use my new gym toy, so I was looking forward to the workout. With Halloween tomorrow, a time change this weekend, and a new month beginning, this may have been my Full-Body Finale. Don’t get me wrong, the workouts are great and extremely efficient, but I’m not a fan of taking days off and no single bodypart ever feels completely hammered. I’ll likely be going back to a more traditional split come Monday… [Read more…]

Steve: Full Body (stretch overload)

I always look forward to Wednesday because it’s all stretch-position moves–well, almost all. Resistance in the stretch position has been shown to trigger hypertrophy–and it hurts so good. Lol. Instead of DXO on the first set, I just did a standard higher-rep set–going for 18-20, and a static hold in the stretch position at the end of the second heavier set. Pain–and change–to gain.

Jonathan: Full Body (New Toy)

Gotta love local swap-n-shop groups on social media. My wife was lucky enough to find someone giving away a leg extension/leg curl machine, so I went to check it out and ended up coming home with a new toy. Not only was it a pretty heavy duty piece, but it was free… [Read more…]

Steve: Full Body MMX (X-cel +)

Halloween is coming up this week, so it’s time to scare the hell out of my muscles. I increased reps on my first set to around 20 and then, after my second heavier set, I reduced the weight back to that 20RM and cranked out a speed set + X-Rep partials after. Quick, brutal, scary hypertrophic stimulation.

Jonathan: Full Body (Weekend flu by!)

It wouldn’t be the new season if it wasn’t the flu season. LOL! The fall and winter are always my most intense training months, and more often than not I tend to get a bit sick right before the intensity uptick. That happened this weekend. Probably due to multiple kid activities within a couple of days, and a whole like of child-based flying phlegm, but it seems to be out of my system now, so onward we go… [Read more…]

Steve: Full Body (speed drop)

I’m hooked on this 2-set-per-exercise full-body workout. Here’s the sequence: High-rep set, rest 40 seconds and add weight; 10-rep set,then reduce weight to set 1 and immediately crank out an X-cel, or speed drop set (1.5 seconds per rep). I used a few different exercises today. The workout is quick, and you can add an exercise for stubborn muscles, which I did for shoulders today…

Steve: Full Body (X-cel drop)

My Friday workout was so hypertrophically effective that I repeated the same sequence today–high-rep set, rest 40 seconds as I added weight; 10-rep set, reduce weight to set 1 and immediately crank out an X-cel drop set (1.5 seconds per rep). I tried to do a different exercise for every muscle group today, which gave me that all-important change to gain.
