Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs

Oh, there will be some chest and triceps soreness tomorrow. Lats and abs are likely to feel a bit worked, too, but there was a bit more than usual that went into chest and tris… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (basics blast)

It was a great basics blast this morning for chest and back. Great workout, but a couple of twinges in my back reminded me that I need to get up from my desk and move around a bit more during the day. Nothing worse than feeling an injury coming on, especially when the cause is too much sitting at your desk… [Read more…]

Steve: Legs, Chest, Back, Abs (2-set Compound Aftershock)

Using the Size Surge Phase 1 split makes workouts look easy on paper. But the supersets using a high-rep stretch move with a lower-rep, fairly heavy compound exercise are rough–and sometimes nauseating. High reps are not easy, especially on painful stretch moves. Here’s how it went today…

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Happy New Year)

Happy New Year! Last training day of 2015 was on New Year’s Eve, and plans were to take some time off before hitting it hard tomorrow. Well, I got impatient, and 2016 is already here, so there’s no time like the present. Two days off in a row is plenty for me, and I never feel good when it rolls into a third day off, so Sunday workout it is… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Pectacular Pump)

Last chest and back workout of the year, and it resulted in a pectacular pump. LOL! A great view of the several inches of snow outside helped with the Rocky-in-Russia training intensity, although I kept it all indoors… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (winter width)

The first full day of the new season, so it was all about winter width today. Chest-and-back attack to be exact. LOL! I stuck with yesterday’s simplistic approach, and the results were great. An efficient workout with a tremendous pump… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (throw up Thursday)

Combine supersets, minimal downtime for “rest” periods, and a stomach full of too much water and you get the perfect ingredients for throw up Thursday. LOL! Okay, maybe it was just nausea, but there was a lot of it. Nothing came up, though, other than a significant pump and some good lung conditioning… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (turtle back)

Another great one, despite the nice weather. Yes, I get better workouts when it’s cold out. Chest and back got a ferocious pump, and I started laughing when I focused on just how full my lats and midback felt – flashing back to how my wife refers to a well-developed back as a turtle back… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Turkey Prep.)

I was running a bit late for the gym this morning, but it’s all about turkey prep. this next few days, so I had to go 100% regardless of timing. LOL! Great workout, and it’s so efficient currently that there was no need to rush to get the workout in, and I can feel my muscles ready to absorb a whole lot of turkey protein on Thursday… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (swole patrol)

I felt like I was on swole patrol this morning. No supersets for chest and back together today, so it gave me a bit more focus on each area. Strength felt like it’s gone up a bit, too, so a win-win. Plus, the weather’s cooling down a bit more, so workouts are going to keep getting better… [Read more…]
