CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.comVisit Turbulence Training to get your FREE sample fat burning workout. Click here to get started www.TurbulenceTraining.com This is Workout B from TT Hardcore 2K10. You’ll be doing 6 repetitions of 6 exercises in this workout. Start with a barbell complex, but start with an empty barbell for the first time you go through this. You can even use a broomstick for this. If you are training at home, you can even use dumbbells. Start with Romanian Dead Lifts. Press your hips back as far as you can, keep a flat back and then drive back up to feel that stretch in your hamstrings. Next up is a hang clean (6 reps), so you will do a little dip, drive up and catch the bar underneath. You want to get that extension, especially when you have some weight on it. Move right into front squats. Keep your elbows up, push your hips back as you lower and drive back up for 6 reps. Next is a military press. You will be limited in this entire complex by the weight you can military press or push press, but I want you to choose a weight you can press overhead 15 times. Press up and with your last one, bring the bar behind your head to move directly into a back squat. For back squats, press your hips down and back and drive back up. Finish with a forward lunge. Step forward, lunge and drive up, alternating sides. You will find that your upper back and legs will be a little fatigued with this complex. Do these 6 exercises with 6 repetitions for …
Bodyweight Workouts with TT Europe Workout B
1
www.turbulencetraining.comVisit Turbulence Training to get your FREE sample fat burning workout. This is workout B from the Europe Vacation program and it is actually in honour of Georges St.Pierre, the mixed martial arts fighter. This is because throughout this workout there are a couple variations of the exercise St.Pierre does when he enters the ring before one of his fights jumps. So, the first exercise in the first superset pairs the tuck jump exercise with spiderman climbs. For the tuck jump, you will explode off the ground and bring your knees to your chest. If you are a beginner, then you can do bodyweight squats in place of the jumps. Repeat the jumps for 6-8 repetitions. From the jumps you’ll move immediately into spiderman climbs for 10 repetitions per side. The goal is to bring your foot to the outside of your hand. However, if you are a beginner, then simply bring your foot as close to your hand as your flexibility allows. To begin the second superset, you will continue with explosive jumping, this time the split lunge jump for 6 repetitions per side, alternating sides. If you are a beginner, then you can do split squats instead for 8-12 repetitions on one side and then repeat for the other side. To finish of the second superset you will do any type of pulling exercise. This can be pullups, chinups, bodyweight rows, or dumbbell rows. In this video, I’m going to do chinups looking into the courtyard of the Canadian Embassy. On to Amsterdam and it is here that …
Gain Muscle & Lose Fat with TT Medicine Ball Workout 2

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com This particular Medicine Ball workout will focus more on strength by taking a number of exercises and pairing them together in superset fashion. To start, you’ll begin with a series of lateral lunges and a diagonal chop and combine it with a unique pressing exercise. For the lunges, bring the medicine ball up over your left shoulder, take a lateral lunge out, and chop down with the ball to your opposite foot, making sure to get nice and low. Doall repetitions for one side and then switch to the other side. Immediately following all your repetitions for the diagonal lunges, get into the bottom squat position, and with the ball in one hand, press it up overhead. This exercise is similar to the stick-up exercise in that your arm isn’t going to have as much mobility as you want. Perform all repetitions for one side and then arms. Once you’ve finished all the repetitions, take one minute to rest and then repeat the superset two more times. Next, you will perform the one-legged squat. Place the medicine ball out in front of you, bringing one foot out as well. Now, squat down on one leg and then back up. Do all repetitions for one leg and then switch legs. Immediately following the one-legged squat, you will then move into the elevated push up exercise. So, get into a push up position, but now, place one hand on the ball, and then perform a regular push up. Once you have done all repetitions for one arm, switch the ball …
Lunges
25
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today you’re going to discover how to do lunges, but first, lets look at a big pet-peeve of mine in terms of program design. The thing that bugs me is that trainers tell everyone to do lunges, but most people have terrible form. So overall, I’d say lunges are the most over-rated exercise in your program. You need to learn how to do them correctly, so today you’ll also get a good lesson on lower body training. So, we will look at split squats and lunges. Specifically, when to use them, what to start with, and how to progress. A pet peeve of mine is seeing trainers take beginners through a series of lunges when really they should have no business doing lunges in the first place. A lunge is a very difficult exercise that requires not only a lot of coordination, but a good deal of lower body strength as well, both of which beginners or overweight individuals tend to lack. On top of that, many overweight individuals have knee problems so performing lunges only intensifies the pain. So when I see trainers taking these individuals through a series of lunges along with giving them weights before they can even perform the exercise properly you can imagine how irked I get. Instead of lunges, what I like to do is have people start with split squats. A split squat is really just a stationary lunge. So to get in position; place one leg in front and one behind,drop your hips straight down and then drive back up. The great thing …

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Inside the TT Medicine Ball workout you’ll discover a workout involving circuits, ab training, and power exercises. All in all, you’ll get a great workout you can do anywhere with just a medicine ball. Now, if you’re trying to decide what size of ball to get, I recommend an 8lb ball for men and maybe a 4-6lb ball for women. In this circuit you will complete all exercises with no rest between. If this is your first time through the workout, then just go through it once. However, if you are advanced, then you can repeat the circuit two to three times in total. Starting out, you will do the Squat Press. In this exercise, squat down and then press up, by pushing your hips back, squatting down, and then driving up, while lifting the ball overhead. Next is the Big Circles exercise. Start with the ball overhead, and rotate the ball down and around. Be sure to keep your abs braced throughout. After the Big Circles, you will perform the Power Golf Squat Chop. To get into proper position, get in a nice wide stance, bring the ball up and over and then drive down to the opposite foot. Doall repetitions for one side and then switch over. Next, you will do Decline Push ups. So, place your feet on the ball and then perform a regular push up. Once you’ve done all the repetitions for the push ups, follow that with Diagonal Lunge Chops. For this exercise, you wan to start with the ball overhead, and then lunge forward while …
