Then, Australian researchers tested Turbulence Training style workouts against long, slow and boring cardio. However, while heavyweight and low repetitions have their place, mixing high with low has been proven to work better for strength and fat loss through a method called non-linear periodization. Mixing repetition ranges has been proven many times to prevent adaptation and stagnation, eliciting faster and sustained responses without plateaus.
