Has anyone tried this routine before? I’ve been on it for 3 weeks & seem to be making gains, but I’ve also lost 4 pounds. I don’t do cardio other than walking about 2-3 miles total/day & I get about 3000 cal/day. I’m not sure if I’m doing it wrong or what. I’m 41, 6’, 206lbs. & I don’t do the ANABOLIC DIET as the workout recommends. I try to follow more of what C.T. preaches as it make more sense to me.
What does Titan Training look like?

Depends on how ‘in shape’ you were and what your diet was like before you started.

Four-day-a-week program. Ideally performed on Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri. With Wed and weekends as rest days.
The system uses three methods: base training, volume training and muscle rounds.
Base training is a fancy term for pyramiding; volume refers to higher rep supersets with brief rest; muscle rounds are an invention of Leo Costa: you take a weight you can lift 8-10 straight reps with, then do just four reps, rest for ten seconds, do another four reps until you’ve done a minimum of four rounds (or 16 reps with a weight you would only have lifted a max of 10 reps- basically fatigue management). That counts as one set. Most people think that the book suggests you do six rounds per set (equalling 24 reps per muscle round set), but that is the maximium amount of volume you should attempt.
Monday is base training for lower body and volume training for upper body; Tuesday reverses that with base training for upper and volume for lower; Thursday is muscle rounds for thighs, hams, calves and chest; Friday finishes the week with rounds for back, tris, shoulders and bis.
Titan Training works on a 12 week cycle. You follow the main workout for 8 weeks, do a bodypart spec for 3 weeks(based on lagging bodyparts), take the twelfth week off for rest, then begin the cycle again from week 1.
During weeks 1-8, every muscle group is worked 3 X a week except for bi’s, tri’s and abs. Bi’s and tri’s are worked directly on Tuesday & Fri (volume and rounds), abs thru volume on Monday only.
sounds interesting, a lot like rest-pause
Thanks. I’ll bump up my calories asap. I think part of the problem with the program is that your supposed to do ALL of the workouts in < ONE hour. That’s burning a lot of extra calories.
