 Those who snagged The Russian Lion Deluxe Course got what you see below, now, I know you cna get some ideas just from this short video.

I wanna hear about your outdoor workouts. As for me, I freakin’ love training outdoors, absolutely love it!

The uncomplicated strength workout

July 23rd, 2008
· Filed Under: Articles · Success · Videos · Zach's Workouts

Keep it simple, nothing fancy, hit the weights hard, hit em’ heavy, go light when your body tells you to back off, and, if you’re feelin’ like a beast, go ahead and kill the weights…..and I do mean KILL IT!

That’s 585 x 2……

I’ll break that record soon enough….so stay tuned, it’ll come your way via The Underground Strength Show!

Kill it!

–Coach Z–

P.S. - Tell me about your latest simple, ass kicking workout?

75 posts on the 15 minute body blastin’ workouts

July 23rd, 2008
· Filed Under: Announcements · Articles · Calendar · Zach's Workouts

reeves.jpg

Holy cow, there has been an insane response to creating the most intense 15 minute workouts.

I am really up S**t’s creek trying to pick the best one, it is near imposisble, I have really painted myself in a corner this time, ha ha!

I am really digging Dave Morgan’s beastly workout, and at the young age of 60, this man is a frightening beast. Dave is post number 9.

Then we have number 46, Steve McElroy, tearing it up in his basement and making anyone struggle through this simple yet brutal circuit!

Workout 47, by Parker, reminds me of something I read in a 1940’s Strength & Health Magazine, LOVE IT!

And workout 58, Kirsten Gobel, what a crazy girl she is, pushing a prowler with a sled attached to her waist and 100′ rope pulls.

I am gonna have to pick the numero uno from the list above, but, does that mean the other 71 workouts go without a prize?

I think not :)

I have an idea for all of you, but, my tech skills are not all that geeky supreme, so, I will figure it out and make it happen for you guys.

Thank you BIG time for all the wonderful responses.

If you’re short on ideas, get back to the blog and test drive one of those beastly workouts.

Gotta run for now, I have a BIG power lunch with someone in 2 hours.

Kill it,

–Coach Z–

P.S. - Don’t forget, November 1st and 2nd the 3rd Underground Strength Coach Certification is on. If you want in, read the web site first at http://combatgrappler.com/coach.html - then, e mail me for an interview.

Friday’s 15 minute workout

July 20th, 2008
· Filed Under: Announcements · Articles · Success · Zach's Workouts

ringdip-bottom.JPG

I was in a bit of a rush Friday before clients were heading in and I was finishing up some internet work.

Not to worry, as I knew I could crank out some brutal workout for myself.

Hey, 15 minutes sounds like nothing but when you’re as insanely busy as I am, it works, and, I am still getting stronger and stronger.

Getting stronger is what I love, plus, the side effects of added strength are more muscle and burning fat around the clock.

So, here’s what I did in my Underground Strength Gym, where the heat was hovering slightly above 100 degrees thanks to the good ol’ jersey humidity :)

1A) DB snatch from the floor 4 x 5 reps each hand
1B) lateral jumps over flat bench 4 x 10

2A) weighted pull ups 4 x 5
2B) handstand push ups 4 x 5

On paper, this workout doesn’t look like much, but give it a shot and I know you’ll be feelin’ it.

Don’t fear going heavy either.

I hit snatches with a 90 lb dumbbell and my pull ups were with 60 lbs of chains.

If you can come up with a kick arse 15 minute workout, show me by commenting on this Blog Post.

The best 15 minute workout will get a f-r-e-e copy of my up coming e course, soon to be released. So you’ll wanna keep your eye out on your e mail box because this new e course is jam packed with materials that I have never released before.

The winner will be announced Tuesday :)

Post your workout in the comment section below.

Remember, this workout must be no longer than 15 minutes in length and somethign you actually did.

Gotta walk the walk baby!

Kill it!

–Coach Z–

PS - I have a free gift for you, regardless of the workout you post, over at http://realmanfittips.com - it’s updated and awesome and best of all, it’s fr-ee :)

A Day at DeFranco’s - The Strongman Challenge

July 20th, 2008
· Filed Under: Announcements · Articles · Success · Videos · Zach's Workouts

Yesterday I made the one hour trek up north to my homeboy Joe D’s gym, and og what a gym it is,I’m in heaven there :)

It was our 2nd year competing in Joe D’s strongman contest, and this year we brought 1 high school athlete and 5 college athletes. Unfortunately, 2 were unable to attend due to injury and family vacation.

I had a wedding to attend yesterday and I was big time pressed for time, so, I also missed out on chowing down on more than a few burgers at The Goffle Grill, which I was really looking forward to doing while talking training with Joe D and his  kick ass trainers, Johnny Imp and Jeff Carr.

Now, as you know, my passion is strength and success - they go hand in hand.

Being at Joe’s place is VERY motivating, and I am glad my athletes went up there with their A game!

You can’t help but be motivated when you see NFL athletes, top notch D 1 athletes and hungry high school kids gunning for the top.

Our top gun was Curls - now, as I have mentioned before, Curls is NOT some genetic freak as most would assume. The kid had not one inkling of athletic talent when he was younger. He was slow, weak and fatigues quickly. He was tagged first in all tag games.

But, when he began working out, he found his passion, and, he never strayed from following the recipe of success 100%.

He always worked hard and smart, he always ate big and clean. I did say ALWAYS, how many other athletes are out there crying about lack of progress yet they eat like a bird, lift like a bird, and skip workouts regularly. Come on, get with the program, half assin’ it won’t cut it.

Curls went out there and killed every event, and I do mean KILLED! He even had the best tire flip time, and that was when he flipped the tire UP hill, which really stacks the cards against you. Curls didn’t care, he was ready to rock the house and trained extra hard to do so.

Check out Curls, below, KILLING the log press event…

the gist of our program comes from two places:

The Underground Strength Kit and The Russian Lion Power Course

Now that Curls won the highly coveted DeFranco’s Strongman Contest I think he’ll be able to sleep better at night :)

The rest of Team Underground kicked some serious ass. Although none of them placed top 3, they out up some very impressive numbers in the sled sprint, the tire flip, farmer walk and the log clean and press.

The problem is, I FEAR my own athletes, ha ha, but then again, that is a good thing and it pushes me to keep getting stronger.

I gotta make sure that I represent as well.

Because if I don’t lead from the front, who the heck is gonna listen to me!?!

Kill it!

–Coach Z–

P.S. - Wanna get inside access to the exact blue print we use for training?

Then check out ourUnderground Strength Kit and The Russian Lion Power Course

You’re guaranteed to start KILLING it with these two bad ass strength courses!
