My legs are screaming at me after and intense day of training with the Muscle Explosion program. My legs just about gave out on me during the last set of leg presses and sissy squats. This was a brutal combo for this style of training. When I was doing the sissy squats my legs were shaking out of control while holding the stretch position. It was crazy insane and amusing all at once

Nick proved how mean he can be by following up this pair of exercises with a leg curl and stiff leg deadlift combo. Not nice Nick! Not nice at all. I went from thinking my quads were going to seize up to thinking that my hamstrings were going to cramp up and I wouldn’t be able to stretch them back out.

In addition to legs, I also trained triceps, shoulders, traps, and a core combo at the end. The stretch-pause training that Nick Nilsson puts you through in this phase of the program is totally awesome. I’ve never trained like this before and I’ve never experienced a pump like this before. I’ve felt intense burning in my thighs with other workouts in the past, but this training put all of them to shame.

I loved the triceps combo of close grip bench presses and holding the stretch position with the dumbbell lying triceps extension. That was killer!

Relaxing in the jacuzzi tub is mandatory after today’s workout. I’ll take some time to stretch out. My chest and calves are sore and tight from yesterday’s workout.

Seriously… I am loving the Muscle Explosion program more and more each day. I’ve got to take some measurements tomorrow. Visual, I’m seeing some great improvements in my physique.

Time is flying by. 28 days to maximum mass will arrive before I know it. Catch ya tomorrow.
