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...]

Underground Strength Gym Bodyweight & Strength Training Tips
Did John Grimek have it right or what!? He was STRONG, athletic, lean and blended all the training modalities together. We've gotten away from that and everything is extreme left or right. When it comes to your health I am more of a believer nowadays in more balance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxCwyPKFESs More and more of my workouts are becoming bodyweight based. I also include Bodybuilding, Weightlifting, Odd Objects, Powerlifting...... Why choose only one method or style? … [Read more...]

SEAL Fit, Getting My Ass Kicked & Pushing the Envelope
I've been following some of the workouts from SEAL Fit this past week and adapting them slightly to my own according to injuries and my infancy to the program. My volume is WAY less than they recommend, and those LONG distance ruck walks seem nuts but I'll get into some of their methods more and more with each passing week. Once the rain stops here in The Dirty Jer-Z I'm gonna ride my mountain bike to Uncle Mike's gym, crank a workout then ride home, it will be a solid initial test with … [Read more...]
Gladiators, Firebreathers & The Uncommon Mind
I have the utmost respect for certain people. These people make me step up my training BIG time. All I do is picture them in my head for a fraction of a second. The game changes, completely. These are the poeple who walk the walk and DO rather than talk. It comes without saying when I think of these people. Navy SEALs, Greg Amundson, Spec Ops Military Personnel, Ultra Marathoners...... The list certainly goes on and I would be missing names no matter how many I listed. These men have a … [Read more...]
Monday Motivation: Arnold Speaks About The Mind
When I was a high school kid, I must have read Arnold's autobiography, 'The Education of a Bodybuilder' several hundred times. It changed my attitude and my mind with regards to training hard, REALLY hard. It changed my mind with regards to how I need to visualize and think about becoming a champion, and now, some 20 + years later I STILL remember Arnold's stories and lessons. I would read and re-read this book over and over again, often times staying up til 1, 2 or 3 in the morning with my … [Read more...]
Man Strength & Training Like a Wrestler
The more I train and the older I get the more I leave out any excuses for people who don't want to train like an athlete. Unless you are specializing in ONE thing, there isn't much of an excuse to stray from all the movements and endless possibilities of working out. I am constantly inspired..... I received a killer t shirt from a man they call "The Firebreather", in english, Greg Amundson. Just wearing his shirt makes me wanna step up my game and not allow myself to go easy. I just hung up a … [Read more...]
