Dedicated to Your Physical Transformation
This morning’s workout proved that it’s much better to time your pre-training meals well. Arms were on swole patrol this morning, and I’m convinced that it’s because I got into the gym on time – for a change. I wasn’t hungry, so I seemed to have enough fuel to get a solid workout and a ridiculous pump…
Wednesday I did antagonist supersets, all moderate reps and the workout was reduced volume. Today it was back to MMX–high to low reps. Felt great–so good in fact that I may stick with the more abbreviated superset workout on Wednesdays. Hey, change to gain… [Read more…]
I’ve been bouncing around with techniques and sticking with Super-TORQ MMX early in the week, but I went back to real-deal MMX today. It’s been a few weeks since I actually did it by the book, but it reminded me of how great the routine really is… [Read more…]
Woke up feeling under the weather. I entertained the idea of missing, but I decided I wasn’t that bad off. All I needed was a shorter, less-intense version of MMX, which is where antagonist-muscle supersets come in. Supersets can be intense, but I did the first round as X-centric, a 1/6 rep cadence, on most exercises. I upped the weight for the second round and did around 10 reps for each exercise. Worked great, and I was done in about 35 minutes… [Read more…]
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…]
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…
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…]
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…
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…]
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…]
