Today marks the beginning of the final week of the Muscle Explosion Challenge. After 21 days on the program I’ve added 4 1/2 pounds of muscle and 1 pound of fat to my body. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a difficult time adding 4 pounds of muscle in 3 months let alone 21 days. This is a bit ridiculous. I can’t wait to see the final measurements at the end of the 28 days to maximum mass.

The workouts this week are the same as last week and I’m loving them. The stretch-pause style of training has been very effective for me. I love the pump that it gives me, and I love that it has helped relieve the pain in my left shoulder.

On Saturday I had an hour deep tissue massage which was awesome. I can take the pressure on my upper body, but I usually have to ask the therapist to ease up on my legs because they are so frickin tight. But this massage was different. The therapist noticed right away. He said, “Wow, your calves and quads are not as tight as they usually are, and you’re not wincing in pain.”

I noticed immediately as well. I couldn’t believe it. My connective tissues and muscles have actually loosened up while using the Muscle Explosion program. This is a huge deal for me. I know for certain that the tightness in my connective tissue has been the reason for the slow progress with building my legs and chest.

My eating has been great except on weekends. This past weekend I over indulged in cake, and chocolate fondu. I’m not going to beat myself up over it though. Most days are relatively the same when it comes to my nutrition. I’m a creature of habit.

I’m about to head out the door for today’s workout. The focus is on Chest, Back, Biceps, Calves, and finishing off with the core combo. I’m really looking forward to feeling the pump once again today. It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever experienced before.

I must admit, I’m a little scared of tomorrow’s workout. The burn that I feel in my quads during this workout is like a 5 alarm fire. My quads scream for mercy as I do the leg press and sissy squat combo. Seriously, the look on my face must be priceless as I scream in agony. Gotta luv it

I feel completely recovered after having the weekend to rest up. It’s time to give this week everything that I’ve got. I’m shocked that I’ve already packed on 4 1/2 pounds of muscle and wonder just how much I could put on this week. I’m almost at my goal of achieving 5 pounds of muscle gain during the 28 day challenge. I must reach that mark!

At this point in the game, although I have not finished the full 28 days, I am confident with the results that I have achieved so far that I can give the Muscle Explosion program my full endorsement.

If you want to pack on some serious mass, you must add the Muscle Explosion program to your arsenal. 4 1/2 pounds of muscle in 21 days is crazy. Lets see what it can do for me in 28 days.

Set your goals and go after them…
