M3:D17 Go to the top



What's on my mind today?

Today was my final upper body workout of my Upside Down Training. The many different techniques used in this workout really shock the body.  I have found during the past four weeks that this workout really fatigues me.  I get to the point that I can barely lift my arms after the workout is over.

Muscle Revolution by Chad Waterbury arrived in the mail today and I've been devouring it.  What an awesome book and I highly recommend that you head over to http://www.chadwaterbury.com and pick up your own copy.  What an incredibly well written book!

Again, this was another busy day and I'm tired, so it is off to bed again.  Tomorrow will be another great tip from Vince DelMonte.

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

As mentioned, today was an upper body workout.  I don't have to say much because I keep talking about how intense some of the techniques are.  I am applying the concept of 21s (something generally kept to the bicpes) and applying it to my back workouts and my triceps.  I am also utilizing 1-1/2 rep repetitions on various exercises to really fry the muscle.  I am using explosive reps to activite the fast twitch muscle fibers.  I am just working the muscles from every possible angle to get maximum effect.

    Now you can see why I love Chad's stuff! I've had the book for a couple of weeks now and when I've done my current program I will attempt to follow his programs in the order discussed in the book. Plenty of variety, good compound lifting and sensible volume. I'm glad you like it!

      Mike, Chad Waterbury reminds me of Jeff Anderson as far as approach, but this book, Muscle Revolution, is a must read for anyone wishing to learn the science and art of lifting.
