Volumizing Muscle Tissue (significant size increases)

Q: So glad you clarified many of the hypertrophic requirements for muscle size in Anabolic Reload [progression, exercise rotation, metabolic stress, etc.]. One that really got me thinking was volumization. I believe it was Vince Gironda who said that more work done in the same or less time creates mass quickly. My question is, What do you think about drop sets instead of rest/pause as the volume addition to each exercise? Seems like you get more work in the same time frame.

A: The drop-set method is one of the best hypertrophic tactics around because it does condense workload into a short time frame. Studies verify the [Read more…]

Jonathan: Intense Tuesday (chest, lats, triceps, abs)

Incredibly intense Tuesday workout! I can’t take all the credit for the internal focus today, though, as this was the first time I’ve used a pre-workout supplement in ages. At least a year, I’m sure, but the results were pretty undeniable. Fierce workout with an almost abnormal pump. Those are good things… [Read more…]

Steve: Wicked-Pump Wednesday (iso-legs; MMX delts, arms; upper-body circuit)

I kept everything the same as last Wednesday – except I ended with a 4-move upper-body circuit. Great way to augment the pump and get some auxiliary work for chest and back…

Jonathan: Hellfire Workout (Chest, Lats, Triceps)

Holy Hellfire Workout! My new work schedule is taking some adjusting to, so my new 1-hour training time had to get squeezed into 30 minutes. I had no intention of reducing the workload (except for abs), and I definitely wasn’t going to skip the workout. That meant 3o minutes of pain, but it was surprisingly good – mostly… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Fatigued Friday

Big changes in my little world over the last 24 hours, and they’re all good for a change. That said, it seems my mind wasn’t as relaxed as I was expected when it came time for some shut-eye. With about 4 hours of sleep, I was expecting a fully fatigued Friday workout, but I had a shocking amount of energy. Thank you pot-o-coffee… [Read more…]

Steve: Show-Muscle Wednesday (MMX Aftershock arms & delts)

I hit arms and shoulders with MMX Compound Aftershock; I used one or two isolation-move sets for legs, chest and back. Great workout–gotta love focusing on delt/arm pump…

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Triceps, Abs (Torched Tuesday)

That was a hardcore Torched Tuesday Workout. Chest and triceps were particularly on fire, but lats were in the deep-burn zone, too. Funny that I wasn’t actually feeling 100% (let’s just call it “stomach issues”), but strength was up and focus was unreal… [Read more…]

Jonathan: Chest, Lats, Tris, Abs (weekend warrior)

Work obligations tied up my Friday morning more than expected, but no worries, as that gave some more recovery time for the soreness to subside. Full-tilt boogie for a weekend warrior workout this morning, however, and there’s nothing quite like a cold, Saturday morning workout when you know you’re going to be working under a car for 10 hours once you’re done. LOL… [Read more…]

Steve: MMX Compound Aftershock (iso legs, delts, arms, abs)

It’s only January, but I feel as if my motivation is starting to come back with a vengeance. I had one of the best workouts in a long while today, and I even added a set for both chest and back at the end. Unusual to have so much energy as I left the gym…

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…]
