Read MoreHigh Protein Vegan Foods
The #1 question I get about eating a vegan diet is, “How do you get enough protein?”. If I had a nickel for every time someone asked me that question, I’d be able to afford another Bally the Dog. Well, it’s actually quite simple when you’re eating to build muscle for a couple of reasons.…

Read More5 Minute Bodyweight Workout
Aw yeah, it’s done. Just filmed the Turbulence Training Reconstruction Workout videos. It was awesome. In fact, just filming the videos confirmed how powerful the exercises are for “building your body back up“.

Read MoreYou Can’t Out-Train a Bad Meal Plan
It doesn’t matter which way you are going, you simply can’t out-train a bad diet. That goes for fat loss and muscle building. You won’t be able to lose belly fat if you eat 3000 calories and only burn off 2000 calories. It just won’t work. And that’s why I’m always skeptical of the argument…
Read MoreBurn Carbs Not Fat!
What’s the best way to get rid of ugly belly fat? If you say “Long, slow cardio to burn as much fat as you can during your workout,” you’ve got it wrong. I’ve written before in ETR about the futility of cardio. But there’s another argument to consider. It’s well known in the workout world…

Read MoreDiet Reconstruction & Shocking Protein Update
So apparently, a “New Eco Atkins Diet” appears to work for vegetarian weight loss programs. The high protein vegetarian diet helped improve bad cholesterol while folks lost weight, but other researchers suggest that counting calories remains the key to weight loss, since both vegetarian diet groups in the study lost weight. This interesting new research…

Read More#1 Rule of TT Workouts
If you didn’t already know, we just aren’t much for slow, boring cardio here at Turbulence Training. Among other things, research has shown… That even when men and women do an hour of cardio per day for an entire year, they only lose 4-6 pounds on average. (Reference: Obesity 15:1496-1512 (2007).) That some subjects end…
Read MoreCraig’s Renegade Gym Workout & Vegan Feast
Five days in Vegas. That’s enough for anyone, including me. I was there from Saturday to Thursday morning, and had plenty of steak, poolside lounging, sports-car driving, and mediocre workouts in hotel gyms. I was ready to leave. (Here’s a photo of me and my friend Mike Geary in front of the rented sports car…
