Hey guys…

A quick heads up, registration will open in a few days for the first 3 Underground Strength Coach Certification Courses, to be held at USC HQ, Edison, NJ.

The 3 dates are:

2/21 & 2/22

4/18 & 4/19

5/16 & 5/17

If these 3 dates fill up or sell out I might add an extra one in between somewhere. Once these 2 certifications fill up (and ALL of our certifications have sold out, every single time) I will add more dates.

Be prepared to kill it & start doing what you love!

Kill it!

How can you deny those who taught you?

My book shelves are filled with books and videos from guys like Joe DeFranco, Alwyn Cosgrove, Ross Enamait, Diesel Crew, old school Strength & Health magazines, John Jesse, Josh Henkin, Louie Simmons, Pavel Tsatsouline, JC Santana and many, many more!

I love the ways of old school, raw, serious training….

In this vid, I’ve been inspired by John Grimek, who was born in Perth Amboy, which is less than 5 minutes away…who remember the Atlantic Fitness Club? It was a hardcore dungeon that burned to the ground, no accident if you ask me, b/c the only electric running through that gym were a few light bulbs.

The grip movement here was learned several years ago when Diesel Crew and I trained in my garage! We’ve got that footage on film, locked away in a top secret vault – will it be revealed one day? Who knows….there was garage training, playground training, stair trainin and some scarey sh*t going down w/those dudes!

Check the vid below, strong hands = strong man. Weak hands hurt everything, don’t let your weak hands get the best of you!

Post your favorite grip strength and hand strength training movements and tips in the comments below!

Kill it!

PS: I’ve got a jam packed compilation called ‘Grip Experts’ – some freaky stuff going down in that e book and it’s not just for building strong hands and grip strength, it’s for building full body strength and power. Check it HERE.

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!

I gotta haul ass and help get the kids ready since we’re taking a 2 hr trip north to Pa. at my wife’s Aunt & Uncle. Oughtta be some crazy times and I may even get to watch some Football!

My wife’s Aunt makes a mean peanut butter – hershey kiss cookie, ever have them, they kill! ha ha

As mentioned about 6 weeks ago, I spread word about an Underground Pull Up Contest.

I’ve seen some vids from our friends here ranging from 32 all the way to 50.

Who got 50? Mike Guadango from Joe DeFranco’s Gym – the kid is a beast and a hell of a Baseball player!

Mike Rojas, owner of Strong 101 Gym, part of the first ever certified USC Coaches, out in So Cal – the dude loves strength and has a killer set up, just opened a few months ago!

Below you’ll see my vid and some thoughts on pull ups in general.

Pull Ups should be eaten for breakfast in my opinion.

Men under 200 lbs should be able to hit 20 reps minimum.

Why aren’t there enough varisty athletes even able to hit 10 reps?

This pisses me off and there is too much time spent on the bench press and not enough squats, deadlifts, pull ups and the like.

Reply with a link to your Underground Pull Up Video and tell me your thoughts on the state of pull ups amongst others.

Have the best Thanksgiving ever!

I am grateful that you read my articles, watch my blog and believe in what I do.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart, I live for this stuff!

Kill it!

–Coach Z–

PS: Last year, on Thanksgiving, I had pneumonia! I was sitting on the couch wiped out with fever and chills. I am grateful for my health because without our health, we have Nothing!

I never invented anything.

People were lifting heavy shit ages ago.

I admit my psychological issues in the wide open here….I can’t afford therapy, so crazy I will remain.

Maybe you need to get crazy to get results.

I’m not talking results in the gym, I’m talking results in life.

It’s not over yet, trust me kids, I got more crazy shiz where that came from….

“Nows you can’t leave”

I was a freshman in college and had creative writing. I seriously fell in love with the class and never knew how much I LOVED writing until I as given free reign to write about anything I wanted to.

My Professor’s name was Tony, he never told us his last name.

Watching the movie, ‘A Bronx Tale’ was a homework assignment, and then we had to write a reaction paper to it.

The movie floored me.

I used the door test on every girl I met from age 18 until the last girl I met, my wife!

This time, I used the “door” on myself, where you need to see the movie to understand what I just did.

What do you think of this video I just posted?

Did you watch a Bronx Tale?

If yes, how did it influence you?

Who the hell thought this would become a movie blog? ha ha

Who the hell knew I was THIS CRAZY!?!?!?!

Kill it!

The gym is the place where I lose myself and find myself.

It’s MY place.

You can’t steal my thunder here, it’s f**ing imposisble!

I want and go after it.

I KILL it when I train, period!

No matter what else is going on in this world and in my life, in the gym, everything goes right.

Rusty iron feels best in my hands.

Sandbags and stones show love as well.

Time to kill….and this is only the beginning.

I got some FIRE inside of me and it’s time to unleash.

NOT for kids….

Tell me what the rusty iron does for you.

How has Underground changed your life?

Kill it!

–Coach Z–

PS: A blend of rusty iron and old school strength awaits you at http://RussianLionFitness.com - It;s time for you to step up!
