Well, I'm finishing up week 1 of the Turbulence Training Dumbbell Mass At Home workout and I already cheated.I couldn't stop myself this morning from a cardio workout - I was having withdrawals and quite honestly, needed to burn off some of the stress I'm having over yesterday's hair coloring treatment (guys, I know you can't relate, but I KNOW many of you gals can!).
Instead of running intervals (Craig has out-right said no interval training for the next 30-days), I did a nice, easy (Level 2) workout on the incline trainer. Just enough to break a sweat and get some blood into my legs which have been struggling with a bad case of DOMS since Wednesday's leg workout.
The workout itself is 3 days/week:
Monday - Upper body
Wednesday - Lower body + abs
Friday - Total body
I went fairly light on the weights last week as I wanted to get a good feel for each exercise (as always, form over weight!). I'll definitely be lifting heavier this upcoming week.
If you're currently following a Turbulence Training workout, let me know which one you're using, how you like it and your results to date. There are so many TT exercises to choose from and I'm always interested in seeing what's working for others.
Train hard; stay strong.
Peace.

4 Responses to "TT Mass At Home Workout Update"Hi Susan! I'm doing Buff Dudes and Hot Chicks right now. It's killer! I love the traditional split w/ an upper body day and lower body day, and then the nice circuit core+ day.
Using treadmill for HIIT on the upper body day, and KB swings on the lower body day.
It's a great workout and having four supersets in the upper body workout really allows me to target muscles that don't get much direct attention otherwise.
Can't wait to hear more about Mass at Home.
Hello Susan...This may make you laugh, but I'm currently in my second week of 'TT for Abs 2007'; yeah, I know, a bit behind the times, right? Reason: I wanted to get more disciplined and start recording reps, loads, sets, etc to track my progress.
Anyway, I think it's a good program, mostly in the 8 rep range, so I'm trying to build up the load by 5% each week which should increase my overall strength substantially...at least that's my plan. I've been able to be in and out of the gym in about an hour with a good, sweat-drenched (sorry)tough workout. I've shortened the rest time between exercises and sets to up the metabolic response and I think it's definitely working. Also, I'm using jumping rope intervals instead of bike or treadmill which really give your calves a great workout. (I'm feeling it tonight!)
By the way, I didn't comment, but thanks for the two posts on lean protein and fish/mercury...good stuff!

Liz, I'm liking the traditional "split" routines too. I was doing Buff Dudes Hot Chicks but decided to switch to the Mass at Home workout simply based on new direction I was setting for myself.
I definitely want to get back to completing the full 30-days before the end of summer -- the timed intervals were intense!!
Fred, the workout I'm doing is from 2007 as well! TT for Abs is a great workout. It was actually recently voted a "fan favorite" by TT Members ... so you're in good company!!
It's great that you're getting more disciplined with your workouts and I have no doubt that you'll start to realize results. It's funny how something as simply as recording reps, sets, weight keeps you accountable!
