M3:D81 Revealing

August 2, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

As promised, today is the Big Reveal for me.  From hereon I will be doing my pictures with my top off.  I am also planning to do a four week cycle adapted from Nick Nillson's Muscle Explosion.  What I plan to do is attack my body with one
exercise each week for the next 4 weeks.  I will schedule my workouts as follows:

Week 1 – Deadlifts
Week 2 – Squats
Week 3 – Bench Press
Week 4 – Lat pulldowns

The idea is to one exercise for five training sessions in a row.  You use very heavy weight and extremely high volume.  I will do 3 rep sets.  When I will take 30 seconds rest between each set and when I can only complete 2 reps I will lower the weight.  I will continue doing this for a set period of time.  Once I've reached my allotted time I will rest 2 minutes and finish off with a set with as many reps as I can manage.  I will begin with 20 minutes and each subsequent day I will increase the time by 5 minutes.  I will report back my results when I have completed this 4 week cycle.

I am honestly not interested in doing the entire Muscle Explosion program for alot of different reasons.  However, I believe the 5-day Structural Attack portion (as described above) is going to be awesome for my strength and my muscle building efforts.  It is all about keeping the body guessing.

 

Progress?

Today was a great workout.  I felt so good about being home that I was able to hit the gym with a vengeance.  I felt refreshed.  I pushed myself a little harder today because of the reveal (like it would help any now).
