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." As much as I love training hard when it's cold out, there's something to be said for sweating and seeing some vascularity...(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 from 4X 2.0 and Super...

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! Focusing on delt development a bit, I added some exercises ot the shoulder work, and decided my calves need a bit more work as well, as they seem to have stalled on showing much improvement...(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-->Super TORQ technique from Ultimate Power Density Mass Workout 2.0.Summary: I really like starting delts with the DB presses....

Wide Wednesday back attack!

Great workout! Doesn't hurt that genuine spring weather is in the air, I suppose, but everything just felt fantastic today.

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

First day of May?! How did this happen? With the sudden realization that the shirtless season is upon us, it's time to really kick it into high gear. Luckily, I don't feel that I need to make any major changes to my training, though I might add an extra day in during the week. Otherwise it's just a matter of tightening up the nutrition plan and possibly adding in some HIIT cardio a couple of times per week...(Go to our X Blog for the ful training details.)Note: My current program is based on the...

That was rough.

Quick and to the point... and completely pumped up! Only a minor change to back, but it sure made for some increased muscle swell. Even my pecs felt thick after the back workout.

A change to gain had the swole patrol on high alert today.
