Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (14-year anniversary)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Super-TORQ MMX

It was a celebratory Tuesday training blast this morning. Today marks the 14-year anniversary of when we first launched our X-Rep site with our first e-book, The Ultimate Mass Workout. I celebrated by trying not to cry from the deep muscle burn this morning. LOL… [Read more…]

Steve: Full-Body MMX (Rest/Pause add-on)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training

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…]

Steve: Full-Body MMX (extended sets)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training

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…]

Steve: Full-Body MMX (mass mix-up)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training

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…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (Tuesday Torture)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Super-TORQ MMX

Since the “pain” is so good, maybe Tuesday Torture isn’t the right phrase. “Torcher” is a better word choice, because chest and back were on fire! Shoulders were, too, but that was a combination of workout fatigue with soreness building from yesterday’s workout… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (paintastic!)

Jonathan Lawson before after

Super-TORQ MMX

With how pumptastic yesterday’s workout was, I had a feeling the results would be paintastic today, and they were. Delts haven’t been this sore in ages, and it’s rare for my biceps to get sore, but if soreness equates to growth, these things are going to be huge! LOL! Based on today’s chest and back work, tomorrow should be very interesting… [Read more…]

Steve: Full-Body MMX (stretch-holds)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
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: Chest, Back, Abs (Freaky Friday)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

The change from POF early in the week to 10×10 for the late-week workouts keeps thing interesting, and helps bring back the Freaky Friday fluctuation. Finding proper work weights and rest periods adds to the fun, as short rests with 10×10 seem to keep things moving along well, both from a time and muscle-feel standpoint… [Read more…]

Steve: Full-Body MMX (anabolic drive)

Steve Holman after one month of X-Rep training
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…

Jonathan: Chest, Back, Abs (power pump)

Jonathan Lawson before after

POF MMX

The change to all-DP 3X this week has resulted in a serious power pump for all muscle groups. Even slight variation is enough for some good change to gain… [Read more…]
