Workouts for a Busy Gym

Gyms are busy. Too busy. And it is always busiest when you settle in for your TT workout with its awesome fat-blasting supersets.

I know it drives you nuts when you are trying to pair lunges and
presses while someone is taking up valuable workout space chatting or doing some pointless fluff exercise. Why can't they just get out of your way and let you finish your super effective TT workout?

Crowded gyms are such a big problem that I designed the following TT workout that helps you perform my trademark "noncompeting" supersets - the most effective way to lift for fat loss - without letting anyone get in your way. This new version of TT lets you get it done right, even in a busy gym.

The secret to this workout is the pairing of two exercises that can be done at the same bench and often with the same weights. So you won't lose your spot between exercises. Camp out in your little area, work hard, and you'll get lean and lose fat faster than ever.

NOTE: This workout originally ran in Men's Fitness magazine, but I've actually improved the workout just for you! Always looking out for my TurbulenceTraining.com subscribers.

Workout Guidelines

• Workout 3 days per week alternating between workouts A & B. Rest 1 day between sessions.

• In week 1, you will follow an A, B, A schedule. In week 2, a B, A, B schedule. In week 3, an A, B, A schedule, and in week 4, a B, A, B schedule.

• Each pair of exercises constitutes a "Superset". In each Superset, do one set of the first exercise followed immediately by the next (1A & 1B) and then repeat.

• Rest 1 minute after completing the exercises in the Superset (i.e. after 1A & 1B).

• Repeat each Superset until you've completed a total of three sets of each exercise in the pair, then move on to the next
pair.

• Use a 2-0-1 lifting tempo for all exercises (except for any holding exercises like the plank). Take 2 seconds to lower the weight, pause briefly, and then take 1 second to lift the weight.

• Finish each workout with stretching for the tight muscle groups only.

• For full exercise descriptions and photos, see the Turbulence Training manual.
