Absolutely Awesome! Day 9 of the Muscle Explosion Challenge is total proof that Nick Nilsson knows what the heck he is talking about. Yesterday I did 20 minutes of deadlifts. Today I did 25 minutes of deadlifts. In addition to increasing the duration of the workout, I also increased the weight. In the Muscle Explosion book, Nick mentions that even though I trained hard yesterday, my nervous system would be better ‘tuned’ to the exercise and I would probably be a bit stronger. He was positively correct on both counts.

Today I really felt like I had a rhythm going right from the start. Yes my muscles were sore from yesterdays workout, but I was eager and ready for the challenge. I was totally in the zone. I felt bigger. I felt stronger. I was ready to conquer what ever came my way.

My Abs Felt Ripped!

I am really glad that I took Nick’s advice and chose the deadlift as the exercise of choice for this 5 day structural attack! It’s obvious to me now that I don’t do deadlifts enough. An even bigger lesson learned from yesterday and todays training is just how much of a total body exercise deadlifts really are.

My core felt like it was ripped to shreds today. I really make sure my core is engaged before I begin my lift. My abs and obliques are really feeling it today. Not to mention my legs, lats, shoulders, forearms and lower back. I’m totally loving this feeling!

I mentioned yesterday that there wasn’t a dry spot left on my shirt after the workout. Well today there wasn’t a dry spot left on the floor under me. I was wiping myself with a towel between sets, but would begin to drip sweat during my reps.

This workout really gets the heart pumping!

I have also mentioned that the reps, rest, and weights are very key to the success of this 5 day structural attack. I can’t reveal that on this blog, but I honestly can’t see it working any other way than the set up that Nick has.

I have never been so excited to see what kind of results the Muscle Explosion program is going to produce for me. I’m really feeling it all come together.

I’m giving this program 100% of my effort. I’m following it to a ‘T’. I want to provide the most honest review of the Muscle Explosion program and the only way that I can do that is by giving it my most honest effort. There’s no going half-assed here.

The Muscle Explosion program is quickly changing the way I view conventional bodybuilding. I’m loving Nick’s unorthodox approach and unconventional methods. I’m so glad that I’ve had an open mind and have been willing to try these crazy antics that Nick has come up with. “The King Of Variety” is living up to his name.
