Why Bodybuilders Hate Turbulence Training

Bodybuilders are not a fan of Turbulence Training. I don't know why, but for some reason getting a workout done in less than 45 minutes really ticks them off.
I remember when I first tried out the Turbulence Training 2K3
workout from my TT for Fat Loss manual. It was in the dark and grungy downstairs weight room of System Fitness in the High Park area of Toronto - maybe you've even been there.
Anyways, that gym is full of bodybuilders. And hey, I have nothing against them, but they always gave me a hard time when I went in there and finished my supersets and entire workout so fast they didn't even have time to finish training their biceps.
Perhaps you know how long and slow those bodybuilder isolation workouts are...well no one has time for those anymore.
But the bodybuilders would sit there with their weight belts on
(why did they need a weight belt to do chest exercises?),
sweatsuits, clown pants, and bloated bellies and just stare while I went through my workout and they talked for 5 minutes between sets.
But I still had a lot of fun doing the TT 2K3 workouts back then,
way back in the winter of 2003. It truly is one of my favorite
workouts - and it is one of the TT workouts that gets the most
positive feedback from TT clients.
You'll get an arm pump just as good as any bodybuilding lunk who spends THREE times as long doing all his isolation exercises. But you'll get the extra benefits of working your abs and boosting your metabolism with the total body exercises in the TT 2K3 program.
So don't believe the bodybuilders when they say you have to train a separate body part each day...because that doesn't work for people who live in the real world and have real commitments but still want to burn body fat and build muscle.
Go in there, and show them just how fast you can get a great workout with the TT2K3 workout from the Turbulence Training manual.

PS - Turbulence Training Beats Bodybuilding Programs for Men & Women
"I have been in love with Turbulence Training ever since I started. I am 6'3", 28/M and my starting weight/body fat% was 208 pounds and 18.4% body fat. The mix of weight training with the high intensity intervals is the perfect fitness program. I really didn't believe it would be difficult until I started it. WOW what a burn!! I have finished the TT2K3 and 2K4. In these 5 months, I have upped my dumbell press weight 30 lbs from using 60s to 75s. I can't wait to start TT2K5 next week and see where I can get my bench up to. After 22 weeks of TT, I am now down to 190 lbs and 10.8% body fat."

"I've done just about everything from Turbo Jam, P90X, to trying to piece together my own workout, but didn't get the results I've seen with Turbulence Training. My problem has always been my legs. No matter what I tried I have never been able to reduce the size of my thighs. I've tried the numerous leg routines featured in countless women's fitness magazines, but nothing worked. But with Turbulence Training I began to notice that my thighs looked smoother and more toned. Even my calf muscles were a lot more shapely. And I started seeing these changes about three weeks into the program. And I got these result without killing myself. The workouts are efficient and
a lot of fun. I recommend this program to any woman who is
struggling to lose that stubborn lower body fat. It is truly a
godsend. A heartfelt thank you."
Andrea Dunham
"Been using TT 4 years, love the newsletters. I use the 2K3 all thetime, started off with the original ages ago. I lost 35 pounds in around 2 years & i'm 38 years old!"

How To Get Ripped Fast
By Vince DelMonte
To have a world class fitness body, you must be muscular of course, symmetrical and balanced, and have a well defined six-pack, but most importantly, you have to get ripped and shredded to the bone! If you do not know how to get ripped fast, then we are about to discuss how weight training, proper nutrition and aerobic exercise will assist in getting a ripped, beach worthy body by next summer.
Determine Where You Are Starting Before You Start To Get Ripped
If you do not have the ripped body of your dreams than you are either one of two people:
1. The 'big guy' at the gym who looks huge in clothes but has no muscle definition when the shirt comes off. You are training like a bodybuilder, eating in a caloric surplus, getting stronger and bigger each week but would never win a fitness model show because of your excess body fat.
2. Or, are you the 'skinny guy' who thinks he is ripped because your veins are popping out of your tank top, but have no muscle mass to support your frame. Sure, your veins make you look 'ripped' to the bike club but this false sense of 'big' would only get you laughed off a bodybuilding stage.
To get ripped, you must determine whether you need to start leaning down through a fat loss program or else add muscle mass with a bulking program. You cannot be ripped if you are lacking muscle mass or lacking muscle definition. Don't chase both goals at once. I will address how both categories can learn how to get ripped fast with weight training, nutrition, and cardio.
How To Get Ripped With Weight Training
* Skinny guys should train less than 45 minutes each workout.
* Skinny guys should focus on only compound movements and no isolated movements.
* Skinny guys should focus on getting stronger by 5% every two weeks.
* Skinny guys should do no more than 1-2 forced reps to avoid wasted energy.
* Skinny guys should have there body parts split up into a maximum three day program.
* Bulky guys can train from 1 hour to 1 and ½ hours for the extra caloric expenditure.
* Bulky guys can incorporate more isolated movements for caloric expenditure.
* Bulky guys should still maintain their strength which will ensure no muscle loss.
* Bulky guys can include drop sets and pre-exhaust sets for the extra energy expenditure.
* Bulky guys can spend more time per muscle group and split their body parts over 5 days.
How To Get Ripped With Nutrition
* Skinny guys should be eating about 15 x their current body weight in calories for muscle mass.
* Skinny guys should eat at least 1- 1.5 grams of protein per pound of lean muscle mass.
* Skinny guys should be eating at least 2x as many carbs as proteins.

* Skinny guys should be eating large quantities of oatmeal, whole grains, potatoes, and rice.

* Skinny guys should keep their cardio workouts as far away as possible from their weights.
* Skinny guy should keep their cardio workouts less than 20-30 minutes.
* Skinny guys should do cardio no more than 2 - 4 x a week.
* Skinny guys should perform cardio on a full stomach.
* Skinny guys should have a protein-carb workout drink ready after the workout.
* Skinny guys should avoid long, endurance-style training.
* Bulky guys should do there cardio immediately after weights.
* Bulky guys should do a mixture of long, slow cardio and interval cardio.
* Bulky guys can do cardio up to 7-10 x a week in extreme cases.
