I get asked almost every day about running a warehouse gym and what it takes. And, once a week or so, an e mail comes through asking me about CrossFit. Here's Part 1 of a 2 part video on my thoughts on CrossFit. Questions, Comments, Haters.... Post thoughts in the comments section :) Peace! --Z-- Recommended Resources: CrossFit Journal SIC FIT … [Read more...]
One BadAss Book: ‘The 4 Hour Body’ Book Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIVmsIJyj3A The trailer pumped me up BIG time. I won't lie. I wanted to Deadlift HEAVY and run FAST as soon as I saw this Video. Sometimes, the trailer is better than the movie, or in this case, the book. https://youtu.be/gm68avm3UVA But, NOT this time. This time, Tim Ferriss kicked some major ass in his latest book, 'The 4 Hour Body'. It was a Friday night in NYC. I was meeting up with my homeboy, BMack, the Mastermind behind CrossFit … [Read more...]
Mobility, Prehab and Rehab – Exposing Your Weakness
Last weekend I had an AMAZING time chillin' AND learning from my homeboy, K Star. I attended his Mobility Cert and it was THE MOST practical seminar I have ever been to. The amount of understanding and conceptual knowledge you gain from this cert is downright crazy. By the way, K Star has got perhaps one of the most BadAss Gyms known to human kind, there are NO walls, no showers and no pretty bathrooms... instead, you'll find the fresh air, TONS of weights from free weights to odd objects to … [Read more...]
Underground T Shirt Inspiration Contest Winner(s)!!
Damn, this was FREAKING TOUGH!! First, I want to thank ALL the BEASTS who submitted their videos. They were truly amazing, seeing how many of you train outdoors, in your garage, at playgrounds, in basements and without the rules yet still kicking ass. The Videos have fired me UP as well as fired up many people around the world!!! The videos submitted for Underground contests in the past were often very cut and dry, you saw them, and you knew which ones were THE most inspiring. Well, this … [Read more...]

Kickin’ Ass & Takin’ Names at 35 Years Young
I remember seeing the movie, 'Predator', when I was maybe 8 years old. It was for my older brother's birthday party in a now dead movie theatre, Amboy Cinemas. I loved that movie and did push ups as soon as I got home. The BIG guys in the movie inspired me. Even as a young kid I was motivated by being BIGGER. Some 27 years ago....Even at age 8, I wanted to be cool and tough. Still working on it :) But, as I get older by the numbers I refuse to give in to the "regularities" that come with age. … [Read more...]
Gladiator Garage Gym Workouts
It was The Fall of 2002, and I had drawn the line...... I was up to my neck in work as a grad student plus working full time as a teacher. I was also coaching Wrestling and the season was a few short weeks away. My time was pressed to say the least. Sunday mornings I would wake up and work on research papers from 10 AM until 10 PM. It was the first time in 7 or 8 years that I was unable to make the trek to my favorite hardcore gym, Diamond Gym. I was too busy to drive 30 minutes each way, … [Read more...]
Underground QnA: Combat Training & Endurance Training
Let's grab some Questions from the "mail bag", ha ha, I actually wish we had more mail nowadays, all these e mails are TOUGH - but in a good way! Here we go: Question / E Mail # 1: "Hi, I've been following your strength training routines for a while. I worked as a personal trainer for four years in a corporate gym that I won't name, and I had to be fairly secretive about using your methods because they would get me in trouble with the management. Despite the fact that my clients kept … [Read more...]
Underground T Shirts Have Arrived!
Underground Strength T Shirts are Finally HERE After years and years of waiting, I have found a company that I trust and respect to distribute The Underground Strength T Shirts. You can wear this bad ass tee when you rip through 600 lb tractor tires or wear it when you're out and about grabbing some good grub and drinks. You'll know you're a rare breed when you represent The Underground. It reminds you and anyone else who crosses your path about the hellish workouts you go through. It's a … [Read more...]
Navy SEAL Interview, Part II with Brad McLeod
Navy SEAL Interview, Part II, with Brad McLeod of SEAL Grinder PT Z: Brad, talk to us about what you felt was the most mentally and physically challenging part of of your training? Brad: For BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition School) it has been said that the training is 80% mental and 20% physical. I firmly believe that. I watched as many stud athletes in much better shape than me - literrally shriveled during the day to day beat downs and quit easily as they did not want it (goal … [Read more...]
