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“. I felt amazing after doing the WYLIT upper back exercises (we’ll put a video of these up on youtube soon!) and a…
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…

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…
Read MoreDiet Depletion – What Will You Give Up?
I have been the victim of “diet creep”. Diet creep is what happens to a great diet when you get a little too confident and a little too lazy. Happens a LOT to folks who finish up the TT Transformation Contest and then start sliding back into their old habits. It doesn’t happen very often,…
