Question: Can I use supersets, or two different exercises targeting the same body part?
Answer: Not in the beginning, choose and complete the set of one exercise, then move to the next. Focus all your energy on doing quality sets. Master the exercise and learn to completely exhaust the target muscle groups.
Question: On the four days a week workout, what days do you workout and what days do you rest?
Answer: We recommend working out Monday and Tuesday take Wednesday off, then workout Thursday and Friday and take Saturday and Sunday off. If you miss a day, make it any day but Monday. You should never allow three full days rest. Generally most people will workout two days in a row, take a days break, and then workout two days again.
Question: What if they want to workout body parts not listed in the program?
Answer
eople can incorporate other body parts in their workout that aren’t in the program but try to keep it in the same area. For instance, if you are doing biceps, you may do a forearm workout because the forearm is already being stressed when training the biceps exercise. If you are going to add body parts to your program, try to keep your workout within 45 minutes to an hour in length. Another option is to workout the small body parts on one of the days that you are not scheduled to train.
Question: Does Titan Traing System work for women?
Answer: Yes. Typically, a woman won’t put on muscle at the same rate as a man because of the natural hormone levels. Using this program, a woman can increase her endurance, strength, and tone-up without losing her femininity. A woman can make specific adjustments to the workout to meet her individual needs.
Question: If they miss some days on their program, should they restart? Where?
Answer: If you missed days within the first two weeks, then you should restart the program. If you have been on the program for longer that two weeks you should restart the program where your schedule would have been if you had not missed any training.
Question: What if they cannot complete the number of repetitions?
Answer:The Titan Training System manual prescribes that the number of repetitions should be reached at a point of momentary exhaustion as defined on page 107. If you reach momentary exhaustion before the number of repetitions prescribed it is still a valid set. Adjust, or in this example, reduce the weight so you may complete the set as prescribed.
Question: In the book it sometimes says to work two body parts or one body part, (e.g., calves or calve, triceps or tricep) is this a misprint or does it only want you to workout one body part when not plural?
Answer:When you train triceps, calves, biceps, shoulders, etc., always train equally on both sides of the body. The only exception would be for injury rehabilitation.
Question: When the Titan Training System workout calls for thighs, does this mean quadriceps, or hamstrings, or both?
Answer: Both, we have developed a rule called 75%/25% principle. For example, on a day that your workout thighs, do 75% of your workout on quadriceps and the other 25% on hamstring. On the next workout, switch to 75% of your workout to hamstrings and the other 25% on quadriceps.
Question: Can you move forward to other ramps if your current ramp you’re incorporating is too easy?
Answer: Yes. You can certainly move ahead to other ramps if you don’t feel the current ramp that you’re working on is stressing your body adequately to stimulate growth. However, if you find the program is too easy, I would have you consider whether you’re performing the exercise properly and /or taking each set to momentary exhaustion. Examine the performance and quality of your exercises and sets first, then decide whether or not you should proceed to another more advanced ramp.
Question: Can you run or do aerobics with this program?
Answer: TTS was specifically designed to stimulate maximum muscle growth. In order to achieve maximum muscle growth you want to apply all of your "adaptive capabilities" towards stimulating muscle growth. However, if you’re goal is not only to generate muscle growth, but also to improve health as an individual, then aerobic exercise is beneficial. We would advise that 15 to 45 minutes of aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times a week, would be sufficient to minimize the detrimental effects on muscle growth while still providing cardiovascular benefits. Understand that aerobic activity is going to take away from your ability to add maximum muscle growth. Building muscle and improving cardiovascular health are two different objectives. Specifically define your objective and apply your training accordingly.
Question:Will TTS make me stronger?
Answer: Yes. However, after 20 years in this business I’m surprised that the amount of the weight trainers who never clearly define whether they are a bodybuilder or a strength trainer. If you define yourself as a bodybuilder desiring to achieve maximum muscle growth, then you should rarely find yourself with trying to bench press 200 lbs. or 300 lbs. You should be more concerned with the quality of the set and taxing the target muscle groups so you can achieve maximum muscle growth. How much weight you are lifting at the gym is where you can define yourself as a strength athlete or bodybuilder. In conclusion, define for you which of the two you are to be and stick to your program so you can achieve your objective in the shortest time possible. TTS is a maximum muscle growth program even though strength is a benefit you will achieve.
Question: What do you do when you go weeks on the program without making any gains?
Answer: If on the program and you don’t see any gains, make sure you are doing the program correctly in terms of the way you perform the exercises. If you are doing that properly, then turn your attention to your nutrition. In most cases, you’ll find that your diet is not high enough in protein to sustain your current weight let alone build muscle tissue. The minimum standard that we suggest for daily protein intake is two grams for every pound of body weight. You may also go as high as three grams of protein. Use 3 grams as a target with 2 grams as a minimum. If you feel that you can’t possibly eat that much protein in a day, then supplements become a benefit. Also, try starting your day with an 8 to 12 egg breakfast. This should get you started on the right track.
