Muscle ExplosionToday marks the beginning of the ’stretch pause’ training of the Muscle Explosion program. For the last remaining 14 days of the 28 days to maximum mass, I will be performing this awesome style of training. You may have heard of rest-pause training which is pretty darn effective. Well Nick’s stretch-pause training puts a wild twist to it and I’m loving it!

I achieved a ridiculous pump during this workout. Today I trained chest, back, biceps, calves, and traps. When I was doing the biceps curls I thought my veins were going to burst through my skin.

When I was holding the stretch position of the exercise I could feel the warmth of the blood rushing through my veins. And then when I finished off with the partial movement I thought I was going to explode.

When I got to the calve exercises my calves cramped up at the top of the first rep. I had to step down and stretch them out. I’ve been drinking loads of water, taking my multi-vitamins, extra vitamin C, and getting enough potassium. Maybe it’s just that they are growing and not used to the extra room that I’m creating for them with the stretching movements.

I can tell that I will need to stretch my calves out big time tonight.

The combination of the full controlled movement, then the full controlled movement with the pause, and then the partial rep movement is absolutely killer.

If this program does slab on significant muscle to my body, I don’t know what will. I consider myself a ‘hard gainer’, and I believe I’ve found the solution to any hard gainers problem. But we’ll have to wait another 13 days to find out ;)
