W.O.W.’s 4/14/12 and 4/20/12
Posted by Doug McGuff under Uncategorized
It has been a very busy 2 weeks, so this WOW is a 2-for-1 deal. On Saturday 4/14/12 the kids came with me down to UE for a workout. They are old enough now to enjoy seeing Dad suffer. However, I paid them back afterwards. Seriously, I don’t push them in any way, but they actually do put out impressive effort. Even at their ages, it shows.
Lumbar Extension (as pre-eshaust for)
MedX Leg Press (with end-stop technique)
MedX Chest Press
Nautilus Pullover (with SS retrofits)
MedX Row (with SS falloff cam)
SS Systems Pulldown (Terry Carter Ultimate Rep- Heavy single, hold static in contracted position until dragged through the negative…done!)
On Friday 4/20/12 I put Sherry and Ed through their workouts with an emphasis on perfect form (especially the lower turnarounds). They loved it. I paid for it with the following WOW.
MedX Overhead Press
Bent Fly (Jrep Halves)
Thick Bar Curl
EZ Bar Reverse Curls
Nautilus Plateload Triceps Extension (with SS cam)
Formulator Flexion/Extension
MedX Leg Press
I am posting about 2 hours after this last WOW. I work in the ER tomorrow, so I will update you on the “day after”.
I have nothing to post that can even hold a candle to a recent post of BBS commenter Skyler Tanner, so I will provide a direct link to his brilliant post on diet, hypertrophy and training. Enjoy.
