Triceps and biceps got hit heavy early in the week with chest and back work, so we decided to do only 10×10 on one exercise each for bi’s and tri’s…

We were dragging a bit today because so many muscles are sore from our 10×10 assaults. That makes us think that a week of lower volume and intensity might be necessary soon. Nevertheless, today’s workout produced an excellent growth ache in our quads and hams…

There is a lot of crossover between lats and midback, so we did 8×10 on the last exercise for each instead of 10×10. Both areas were throbbing after that fast volume assault…

Using 10×10 on the big midrange exercises for delts and arms always gives us an incredible pump. We look forward to this workout, even though it feels like our arms went through a meat grinder after…

We haven’t done 10×10 for both big exercises on leg day; we figured it was time to bite the bullet. We knew we were in for some serious suffering, but the pump and growth ache were well worth the X-cruciating effort…

We’re still using 10×10, or variations (as you’ll see for calves), but we’re alternating exercises. This week it’s back to the big midrange exercise with 10×10; last week we did the finishing contracted-position move in that style…

We figured today’s workout wouldn’t be as grueling as last week’s leg day, as we were going to do the 10×10 on leg extensions instead of leg presses. Wrong! Quads were on fire and aching to the bone; then when we got to leg curls for 10×10, we could only manage 8×10–and that was with a weight reduction at about set 6…

This week we’re doing heavy sets on the big midrange exercises and stretch-position moves, followed by 10×10 on the more isolated contracted-position exercises…

We’re calling this another Rep Range week because we’re using Rep Range weights on the big midrange and stretch moves (we used light 10×10 for most midrange exercises last week). For the contracted-position exercise, however, we tried the 10×10 method to end each bodypart…
