CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetrainingforabs.com Now that you are warmed up, you’re going to start this workout with a tri-set or a mini circuit. Move right into the maximum number of underhanded grip chin-ups in perfect form. With your palms facing toward you and your hands about shoulder width apart or slightly wider, pull yourself up so your chin is over the bar. Pull up and slowly back down. If you can’t do chin-ups, you can substitute these with underhand inverted rows or you can skip this one. For inverted rows, set your bar up and grip the bar with your palms facing back. Row your chest up to the bar and back down. Do the maximum amount of reps. Without rest, move immediately into push-ups. Again, you’ll do the maximum number of push-ups as you can for this. When you do these, you’ll probably only going to be able to do about 60-70% of your normal maximum push up number. Move immediately into dumbbell forward lunges, alternating sides. You can either do these in the same place or do walking lunges. Rest 1 minute and repeat this circuit 1 more time. This is a little bit of competition for your grip, so you won’t have great results in the second round, but after you’ve done this workout for a couple of weeks, you will see improvement with your performance with the second round, especially in the number of push-ups after doing the chin-ups. In the next superset you will start with dumbbell step-ups. Put one foot up onto a bench and pull yourself up by …

Gain Muscle and Lose Fat – Get Lean and Jacked Workout A
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Superset #1 Workout A is going to start with a classic exercise from the Turbulence Training Archives called the The Triple Press. This requires you to start in the shoulder press position (seated) and you are going to work your way down the bench into 3 different positions. You want to do 6-8 reps in the first position. Drop the bench down half way and do another 6 reps. Youve gone to your weakest position to a stronger position. Next, drop the bench down to the flat (also your strongest) position and do 6 more reps. Move immediately to the inverted bodyweight rows with an overhand grip. Pull yourself up and squeeze your shoulder blades while keeping the movement nice and controlled. Superset #2 Well start this superset with pushups. You will do 2 reps short of failure. If you dont know your maximum number, simply stop before you know you are at the end. You dont have to train to failure all the time. Position your hands in front,slightly wider than shoulder width apart and slowly lower yourself down and drive back up. If you lower yourself slower, your reps will decrease. Move immediately into barbell rows. Take the bar off of the rack and position your feet just about hip width apart. Push hips back with the bar at arms length and tuck your elbows up as high as you can, squeezing the muscles between your shoulder blades for 8 reps. Rest and repeat 2 more times for a total of 3 supersets Superset #3 For this …

Gain Muscle and Lose Fat with TT Reformed Meatheads Workout
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com This isn’t new school bodyweight training where you only train your upper body. This is TT for Reformed Meatheads and we’re going to head to the squat rack and start out with squats and pair that with an abdominal exercise. For the squats you will be doing higher repetitions, so you won’t need a really long rest period in order to get psyched up to perform the reps. With that being said, perform 3 sets of 12 repetitions for this superset. So, with the bar at chest height, walk in and step under the bar, knees bent and abs braced, take a big belly full of air, unrack and step back. Make sure you have flat shoes on for the squats. Before starting, make sure your feet are a bit wider than hip width apart, keep your head up and focus just slightly above your head. Next, push your hips back and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Be sure to keep your back flat and your chest up throughout. Now, drive your head back a tad and come back up. Once you’ve finished all the repetitions for the barbell squats, you can do either stability ball rollouts or use the ab wheel. So kneeling and with your body in a straight line, stretch your abs as you roll out, and then contract them to roll in. In week one, only go through each exercise one time. Secondly, with the barbell squats, after the third time through, take off 30-40% of the weight and then do a drop set. In other words, perform as many additional …

Medicine Ball Ab Workout Exercises
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.TurbulenceTraining.com Youre about to discover an amazing medicine ball abdominal exercise circuit published in Men’s Health Medicine magazine from the December 2008 issue. If you’ve seen the magazine, then you will have seen there are a lot of crunches and even some sit-ups in there. But, if you’re not an advanced college athlete, then you probably don’t need to be doing those exercises. You especially want to avoid those types of exercises if you sit at a desk all day and have lower back problems. So, I’m going to take most of the exercises from that program and do them in this circuit, but replace the sit-ups and crunches with alternative versions that are still effective for your abs, but easier on your lower back. This is going to be a 10 exercise circuit, with 20 repetitions per exercise. If you’re advanced, then you can use a medicine ball; otherwise you can use a basketball, or a soccer ball. You will start the medicine ball abdominal circuit with the big circles exercise. So, place the ball above your head and then bring it down and around, and up the other side, and then around again. Continue this motion for 10 repetitions, and then switch directions for another 10 repetitions. The second abdominal exercise is the Woodchopper. To perform this exercise, place the ball out in front of you and swing the ball straight up and down, making sure to squat down while bringing the ball down. Repeat for 20 repetitions. Once you’ve …

AAA Abs – Best Fat Loss Bodyweight Interval Workouts
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Cardio sucks. Bodyweight exercises rule! If you want to sculpt your body, lose fat, build muscle, and get fit, forget the cardio and do this short bodyweight workout instead. Its a real workout. This is a very unique program, but probably one of the toughest ones I’ve put together. However, please make sure you do this after a warmup of bodyweight squats, pushups, and lunges. Youll do this after your resistance training in any fat burning workout. So, here is the order of exercises for the bodyweight intervals from workout A. You will start with jumps, and then move into calf jumps, followed by stability ball jackknives, and then Turkish get-ups to finish off the circuit. For the jumps, you are going to do 10 regular squat jumps, rest 10 seconds, repeating 3 more times for a total of four sets of 10. As you are coming down, try to have a nice soft landing and absorb the contact with the floor and then right back up into the jump. Once you’ve done the jumps, you are going to move on to the calf jumps. Again, four sets of 10, with a 10 second rest in between. To do this set of pogo calf jumps, as you land you will be bouncing up using the balls of your feet, and pointing your toes in the air every time. After completing the first two exercises from the bodyweight intervals, you’ll move on to the stability ball jackknives. Following the same structure as the previous two exercises, you will perform 4 sets of 10 reps …

Take a minute rest and repeat this set 2 more times for a total of 3 sets. Next, you will move into a barbell squats and back extensions. Barbell back squats are next. Your legs will be a little tired from the last set, so you won’t use your maximum weight for these.

Take the bar off the rack and step back with a medium stance with feet slightly wider than your shoulders. Keep your chest up, head forward and up and drop your hips down and back, then drive back up. For Back Extensions, lie down on the ball with your feet in a shoulder width stance for good support. Positionyour hands behind your head and keep your chest up as you raise your body up. You can also use a back extension chair if you have access to one. Rest for 1 minute and repeat that set 2 more times for a total of 3 supersets. Next, you will move into a kettlebell 500 circuit as the interval portion of this program.

3 MINUTE ARM WORKOUT
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com If you love training arms but just dont have time for those exercises in your busy schedule, here are 3 systems that you can use at the end of your regular workout to add in some additional arm exercises, while keeping your workout time as short as possible. There are 2 alternative ways in which you can add 3 minute arms to your workouts. The first is adding one of the systems to the end of your workout, three times per week. Or, you can do three different versions of 3- minute arms as one workout, taking 12 minutes in total with a minute of rest in between each. Below I will outline each of the 3 different 3-minute arm systems. System 1 5X5 Method To start, choose a weight that you can normally do 8 repetitions in dumbbell curls and dumbbell tricep extensions. Now, instead of completing 8 reps, you will do 5 repetitions for each exercise with no rest in between exercises or supersets. Repeat this the superset 5 times, again with no rest. You should be able to use the same weight for both exercises. Although the weight might be a little easier for the tricep exercise, once you fatigue, it will become more difficult. You should be able to get that arm workout done in about 2 minutes 55 seconds and have a nice little arm pump to end the workout. System 2 – 4X6 Method This system is very similar to the first one. For the 4X6 you will do four sets of six repetitions with no rest in between exercises or supersets. Two …
