This is a Turbulence Training Review for the muscle building Meatheads out there.

Although I have used many of the different Turbulence Training workout routines, I have to say that Turbulence Training for Meatheads is one that I have not used.

And clearly, it’s because I am NOT a meathead, nor do I aspire to become a meathead.

But none the less, this is one of the most popular Turbulence Training workouts so I thought I owed it to you to run it through the Weight Loss Laboratory.

As all the Turbulence Training workouts are, the Meathead workout series is the brain child of Trainer Extraordinaire, Craig Ballantyne.

Craig’s the ripped guy in the picture to the left. He got those abs because he knows what he’s doing. And he knows how to help you get the body you desire as well.

For those of you who don’t know, Craig is a Strength and Conditioning Coach in Toronto, Canada, is the Author of Turbulence Training, and is a Men’s Health Magazine training expert.

What I like about Craig is, like myself, he has a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology and is extremely research oriented when it comes to designing his workout routines and diet plans.

Turbulence Training is a style of workouts that Craig developed while he was doing his Master’s thesis in graduate school.

He was a Trainer while in college as well, tasked with getting athletes into pre-season shape. Naturally, the time demands of being a student athlete is daunting and Craig had to come up with a style of workout that would bring about the desired training effects (weight loss, increased fitness, increased strength, etc) in as little time as possible.

And so Turbulence Training was born.

Today Turbulence Training is a library of workout routines that use supersets, metabolic resistance training, and interval training so you can get a super effective workout in as little time as possible.

Turbulence Training is for men and women both young and old. You can do the workouts at home or in the gym, use equipment or your own bodyweight, and have your choice of hundreds of different workouts.

A few of Craig’s most popular workouts include:

• TT Transformation
• TT Bodyweight 101
• TT Home Workouts
• TT Bodyweight Cardio
• TT Female Fat Loss
• TT Abdominals
• TT Beginners
• TT Metabolic Resistance Training

But today I am only going to talk about one of the Turbulence Training workouts.

Turbulence Training Review for the Big Boys…..

….or a Turbulence Training Review for those who want to be!

The Meathead series of Turbulence Training workouts is for the big boys, or not so big boys, who want to look like a bodybuilder.

Those who want to build muscle fast, be as lean as possible but they do NOT want to spend upwards of 6 days a week, 90 minutes at a time at the gym focuses on one lousy body part at a time.

Turbulence Training for Meatheads claims that you can build muscle AND lose fat at the same time, a contradiction to conventional fitness wisdom (if you know me at all you know that I LOVE to challenge the conventional wisdom and feel it is absolutely necessary that we do so).

How do we do this?

Here are 3 things you can do to gain muscle fast:

1. Increase exercise intensity while decreasing its frequency.

2. Do as little cardio as possible.

3. Take in extra liquid calories.

Clearly, this is a different approach to traditional bodybuilding.

However, we know that it is a scientific fact that the weight loss and bodybuilding programs that you used to get in the muscle magazines back in the 1980′s are based on out of date exercise science and diet information.

And we also know that, in the last 20 years, the quality and quantity of scientific research in the Exercise Physiology field has advanced significantly. The latest, cutting edge research, which Craig based his Turbulence Training workouts off of, is emerging and slowly beating out conventional wisdom.

We now know that you need to use ADVANCED training methods, such as metabolic resistance training and Turbulence Training intervals, if you want to build muscle fast and lose fat at the same time.

In fact, it is safe to say that Craig actually led the pioneer on the new emerging research in Exercise Physiology over the last 2 decades. It was back in Graduate School where he conducted his own experiments, and how he determined which workout methods worked best.

Later, Craig became the Lead Strength Coach in a Purdue University research study examining the effects of protein and creatine on resistance training in young men.

The study was a success and was published back in 2007. They found several subjects were able to increase their muscle mass and lose fat at the same time. They also determined that this could happen not only in young men, but in BOTH men and women, right up throughout their 60′s.

Craig took what he learned in the study and over the course of his own personal experimentation, and came up with the 3 principles for gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time:

1. You must do intense resistance training 3 times per week.

This includes compound, multi-muscle exercises using a heavier resistance.

2. You must include interval training into your workout routines.

These short burst exercises will help create an “afterburn”- a phenomenon where the exercise you do now will cause an extended period of calorie burn for up to 36 hours post workout (vs just burning calories while you are conducting an exercise).

3. You must focus your diet plan.

It will be imperative that you eliminate any extra sugar and simple carbohydrates from your diet as well as making sure to get adequate levels of protein and healthy fats.

Craig based his Turbulence Training for Meatheads workout routines on these 3 principles and claims that you can build muscle fast while losing weight at the same time while doing these workout routines only 3-4 days per week.

Turbulence Training Review of Meatheads Workout Routines…..

The Meatheads series allows for 3-4 days per week of exercise with 3-4 days per week of rest.

Craig claims that if you follow his plan he lays out you will experience no muscle loss, no overuse injuries, and you will have less time in the gym and more time for you.

That’s how confident he is in the new science of the Meatheads workout routines.

I hope you learned a lot about the new science behind bodybuilding and that I have convinced you to become a reformed meathead.
