How to Feel Fit & Healthy
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
I just have to tell you, and this is going to sound weird, but lately I’ve been feeling so good, so healthy, so energetic, so fit, and so strong, it is even surprising me.

Workouts are going great, energy levels are off the charts, and strength in a lot of my exercises is as good as ever…so I was jumping at the chance to do today’s workout. I was going to do it late afternoon, but couldn’t hold off.

Add Cardio Blasts To Your Weight Training Workout
Submitted by My Fitness Hut Blog
Running on cardio machines bores me to tears! I love to run sprint intervals outside in the heat (100 degrees again today!) and I will run in the cold. Time is always an issue with exercise, so here is a great way to combine your cardio exercise and weight training […]
Interval Training
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
If you’re doing the same long, slow, boring cardio workout over and over again, then don’t bother to expect any results. If you want results, use intervals to burn stomach fat.
But if you are using cardio, you have to change your program.
You have to workout with more intensity.
You have to […]
Congratulations to AtLarge Nutrition!

I just wanted to drop a note of congratulations to AtLarge Nutrition, one of the two supplement companies that have proven themselves to me enough to consume myself and recommend to clients.
Their Nitrean protein supplement, a great blend of whey, casein, and egg proteins just won the Men’s Health Nutrition Award […]
My Thoughts On Common Speed Tools (Parachutes, Overspeed Treadmills, etc)
Submitted by Got Strength? Blog
I get asked regularly about a variety of overspeed and speed resistance tools like parachutes, weighted sleds, and overspeed treadmills when it comes to creating fast athletes.
I gave an answer to this here in my column on WannaBeBig.com and I thought I’d repost it here. These tools do have there place […]
No More Girly Diets
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
One of a guy’s biggest fears is that he’ll have to go on a “girly” diet if he wants to lose his belly.
But that ain’t the case.
And I prove that to you with my sample meal plan in my free report, “”How to Gain Muscle & Lose Fat“”.
You get a chance […]

Improve Your Performance In “Weekend Games”
Submitted by My Fitness Hut Blog
“Weekend Warriors” and “Rec League” athletes need to exercise to prevent injuries and win those games for bragging rights! It doesn’t help you to continually get stronger if power development is not there also. Power, or speed strength (how fast your muscles can produce force) is one of the best […]
Top 5 Motivational Tips
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
Last week I did a phone interview for another teleseminar series.
And I thought, “Here we go again. Same questions. Same answers. Nothing new for my members.”
But then 75 minutes later I WAS BLOWN AWAY by the unique information that Jim Katsoulis had managed to pull out of me.
Heck, I didn’t even know that some […]

Personal Records Workout
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
Set a personal record in today’s workout. Actually, set a couple of them. One of them was even on purpose.
The other record was a mistake, and I’m worried I’m turning into Mr. Magoo…
More on that below…let’s breakdown the workout.
Strength Training Exercise
Deadlift - Overhand Grip - 365×1 - Personal Best
I was surprised […]
Little Russia vs. Little Spain vs. Little Italy
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
After my Saturday kettlebell training - fat loss Russian Style (kettlebell program coming soon to TT!) - I decided to take today off from lifting, and did a couple of long dog walks.
(Note the dog seems thoroughly unimpressed by my Kettlebell prowess…)
And instead of watching the Italy-Spain football match, I decided […]
Saturday Kettlebell Workout
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
Working on a few secret Turbulence Training projects today, one that will be out for August, the other for September. So in the spirit of secrecy, I trained with Russian Kettlebells today.
Use the 35, 53, and 70 pounder for swings, snatches, 1-leg RDL’s, and Renegade Rows. Funny thing, on the rows, […]
Don’t “Fight Against Yourself” On The Treadmill!
Submitted by My Fitness Hut Blog
As a personal trainer, I watch people workout (even when I’m working out). One of the most used pieces of exercise equipment is the treadmill. You will make a tough workout even tougher when you “fight against yourself” as you run! What do I mean by this? You “fight against […]

Green Tea Diet Pill Scam
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
Time to expose the Green Tea Diet Pill scam.
Green Tea is a very healthy drink, but it does NOT cause weight loss. So all those ads you see in on the Internet are a scam. It’s not the magic pill it is claimed to be. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Researchers from […]
Thursday TT Workout
Submitted by Turbulence Training Blog
Even though I was still a little sore from Tuesday’s Pistols and Inverted Rows, I hit the gym today to do another TT workout, and I set some personal records.
I agree with Jay Ferruggia (www.PRWorkouts.com) that you should always set personal bests in each workout, if you expect improvement. Train hard, […]
