Second time training chest and back this week and both areas were still a little sore. Not enough to stifle my intenstity, but enough to make me take note. It was also the first time training chest and back together in over a year, so I was looking forward to it in a big way...(Go to our X Blog for the full training details.)Note: My current program is based on the NEW-->TORQ technique from 4X 2.0 , Super TORQ technique from Ultimate Power Density Mass Workout 2.0., and various intensity...

You read that right! Legs on a Thursday. If you've been following closely, you'll not only realize I've had leg day at the beginning of the week only for almost two years now, but I've also been hitting them only once pwer week, right along with all other muscle groups. That's been great for recovery, but I've decided to X-periment on myself a bit. In years past I seemed to get in my best shape with a 3-day split training 5 days per week (and sometimes more). At 40 years old now, I want to see... Go to BodyBlog

I woke up this morning wanting change, so that's what happened. Still utilizing the same techniques, but changing up the training split in order to get more work in within any given week. I'm a big proponent of rest and recovery, but I feel I'm getting a bit too much, so this is an effort to fix that without going overboard...(Go to our X Blog for the full training details.)Note: My current program is based on the Alternate Phase 2 split in The Size Surge Workout 2.0 plus the NEW-->TORQ...

Seems we lucked out with the severe weather again. Yesterday I joked about it a little bit, but not today. It was almost eery just how nice of a day we had when there was massive destruction just a few hours away from us.

For anyone who was worried about us, we're still alive with nothing more than some tree limb damage from yesterday's tornado watch. We had some "nice" 70-ish MPH gusts, but it mostly just added up to a spectacular lightning show. Just the kind of storm I like. Plus, it didn't hamper the Monday morning workout, so that's a major bonus...(Go to our X Blog for the full training details.)Note: My current program is based on the Alternate Phase 2 split in The Size Surge Workout 2.0 plus the...

Trained today because we have family coming into town for the weekend and the schedule might be tight. DIdn't want any chance of missing my delt day.

I'm going to have to send Labrada a thank you note. Workouts have been much more focused since I started using his new pre-workout powder. I'm sure the 70-degree mornings haven't hurt, but the combination has helped keep the intensity nice and high. Finally getting some much-needed sun exposure has to add to it all, too...(Go to our X Blog for the full training details.)Note: My current program is based on the Alternate Phase 2 split in The Size Surge Workout 2.0 plus the NEW-->TORQ technique...

Cool weather is officially over for the next 6 months, so the long pants have been stuffed away and the same thing needs to happen with the rest of the "winter layer."

Leg day... So bad that it's good. It's really about the only time in my life where feeling sick and as if I'm about to pass out is usually a good thing.

Holy awesome workout!

Apparently I need to leave for the gym about 10 minutes earlier on Mondays. It used to be that I had free roam of the leg equipment at any time on a Monday morning, but it seems others have caught on to the fact that it's the best day for legs, so the Hack squat machine I like to start with has been occupied for the last few leg workouts. Luckily it's always the same person, so I'm on to his schedule now...(Go to our X Blog for the full training details.) Note: My current program is based on the... Go to BodyBlog

Shooting to change things up a bit by adding in an extra day of training on Thursdays which is usually a rest day. That will change the rotation so that whatever gets hit on Mondays will get a second round on Fridays. The goal is to start that this week, but we've already packed up all of our winter gear for the season (including snow tires) since it's May already, yet there's a high likelihood of a few inches of snow overnight tonight. We shall see...Go to our X Blog for the full training... Go to BodyBlog
