Check out Underground Strength Coach, Matty Wichlinski, making a homemade Sandbag.

I’m gonna crank a few of these myself and get our athletes squatting, lunging, jumping and throwing them.

Check it & let me know your thoughts below

You know I love sandbag training and sandbags were actually my first substitute for a barbell.

I didn’t have the cash for a barbell and making a sandbag ran me under $30 bones, so I made a 50 and a 100 lb bag and I got my ass handed to me cranking out the following sandbag exercises:

- clean and press

- shouldering

- carries up hill

- loading onto tall objects

- power clean & catch

Sandbag training to this day is a HUGE part of how I train and how I train my athletes.

That video kicked ass, what about you? Did you dig it?

Post your comments below and let us know your thoughts on the video, sandbag training and anything else you wanna unleash!

Peace!

PS: I’ll be announcing in the next day or 2 the upcoming Underground Strength Gym License Course, which allows you to run your own high profit, low overhead Underground Strength Gym.

Oh yea, you will also have a 10 mile radius blocked off so NO other Underground Strength Gyms can open up near you.

The date is soon, it’s July 18 & 19 at my gym in Edison, NJ. There will be 9 spaces so get ready to jump on this pronto.

Watch your e mail in the next day or two! Have an awesome weekend!

Check out this highlight of what happens when I am short on time and a bunch of strong beasts roll up to The Underground Strength Gym…

Note the use of the HEAVY dumbbells, 130 – 150 lbs, ripping them off the ground for full body strength and power.

Lots and lots of weighted pull ups with mixed grips to hit the upper body from ALL angles!

People think short workouts don’t do much, I always change their mind once they train WITH me.

This is why I created The REAL Man Muscle Building System – there are NO excuses, I don’t care how busy you are, 15 minutes is enough time to get BUSY.

If someone tries my short workouts and say they didn’t feel it, I know they trained like a pussy.

If you are busy as all hell and wanna stay strong, lean and mean, then step right up:

Check out the final video of my buddy Smitty’s Underground Bodybuilder Workout.

Some very cool stuff here and this is the type of training that can pack on muscle and strength at break neck speed. Check the vid and pls. leave a comment or ask your questions below.

Check out http://UndergroundMuscleBuilding.com and you’ll get Smitty’s 16 week Underground Muscle Building program complete with workouts, proper progressions, exact sets and reps and most importantly yet often overlooked, recovery and health related training.

Without your health, you have nothing. Many of you who have been in the iron game for a long time know exactly what we’re tlaking about here. Injuries will hold you back, set you back and anger you.

BUT, learning how to properly train helps you avoid any of these issues and lessen them to a much, much greater degree.

Amazing strength and muscle can be developed in a garage, basement or in your own lil’ corner of that fancy commercial gym.

Check out some workout footage from http://UndergroundMuscleBuilding.com

This program would be SICK if you and a few other iron lover friends jumped in on the program TOGETHER, this is when the training can get REALLY intense, just as Arnold did when he was training and competing in Gold’s Venice, he always sought out the best training partners.

If you want a blue print on packing on muscle and raw strength, an A – Z blue print, then stop the guess work and go straight to the answer.

You’re either serious or you’re not.

Which are you?

I used to belong to one ass kicking gym. It was 7,000 sq ft of free weights, squat racks, power racks, dumbbells going up to 180, countless benches and the sickest powerlifting platform I have EVER seen.

EVERYONE in that gym trained heavy and hard.

Powerlifters AND bodybuilders were rubbing shoulders all the time, it was packed wall to wall with aggressive competitors.

The bodybuilding and powerlifting methods they used were free weight oriented because NO machines existed in this gym.

It worked and it worked BIG time. The physiques walking the floor of this gym were mind blowing.

The strength possessed by these men and women was also mind blowing.

It was like heaven.

Well, to make a long story short, that gym shut down, due to POOR judgement in business.

I remember like yesterday how all these hardcore bodybuilders and powerlifters just disappeared from that place.

I assumed they all went to their basements and garages.

Well, I bet they followed training VERY similar to what you’re about to see below and inside of http://UndergroundMuscleBuilding.com

I still get angered at how this amazing gym went down and disappeared into the pearly gates of hard core gyms.

But, I know this much: the Underground movement is VERY strong through garages, basements and in corners of commercial gyms where a select few gather to train like Gladiators.

If you’re a Gladiator, then THIS is for YOU!

Don’t Click HERE if you’re not 100% serious about packing on muscle and strength like never before in the next 16 weeks!

Your legs are your foundation.

Wanna be stronger, faster, bigger, speed up your metabolism and increase full body strength?

The answer is to stimulate the body through TOUGH leg training. There are no two ways about it or around it.

Recently, my homeboy Joe D inspired me to begin doing what he coined “Prowler Suicides”

Unfortunately, the Prowler Suicide Challenge emerged and our athletes were shocked to say the least, check out the vid…

Every group cranked races of The Prowler Suicide Challenge in an effort to win the rare t shirts from The Lost Secrets of Strength Seminar (DVD’s will be available late June, stay tuned!)

We take lower body training VERY seriously.

Sleds and prowlers are regulars in our training regime.

When I was younger I was obsessed with lower body training.

I used to copy some crazy leg workouts that were fabricated in the magazines, and it wasn’t odd for me to do an hour of squats, an hour of leg presses, etc.

I would end up doing 30 – 40 sets of squats and leg presses! Craziness I tell ya

If you want to stimulate the release of more growth hormone you need to crank some serious leg training.

In turn, your entire body will reap the rewards and benefits of intense lower body work.

What was my lower body workout like today?

I was cranking heavy barbell zercher squats and then my gym neighbor asked me to help him move his truck. So I wound up pushing around the parking lot his 1970’s old pick up truck, GREAT for the legs, upper back, shoulders and triceps!

Want more training methods to develop muscle and strength that shocks others, check this out!

Peace!

Woops, almost forgot about this BEAUTY thanks to my insane schedule

Check out this beautiful vintage gym in a south jersey basement.

I snagged about 600 lbs of vintage strength weights from this gentleman. I need to clean them up a tad and my son will be getting 4 or 5 VERY vintage York barbells for him to use.

Could there be anything more amazing than some old york weights in your hands? OK, never mind, don’t answer that question.

Anyway, check this amazing video, and if you love vintage strength, you will REALLY love the vintage strength system I stumbled upon from the early 1900’s. It’s awesome, period. Check it HERE.

I also came across some VERY vintage strength equipment over the weekend at my buddy’s place, Skiba’s Barbell Club. Wait till that video comes out, it’ll give you goose bumps I tell ya!

If you have a passion for strength I know you will be blown away with what I found inside The Russian Lion Power Course HERE.

Stay tuned for more strength training, muscle building, and who knows what other adventures in strength I’ll be bringing you! It NEVER gets dull around here that’s for sure!

Peace!

Just a lil’ highlight of the beasts who stopped by the day before our Lost Secrets of Strength Seminar (coming soon on DVD).

Dudes cruised in from around the country as far as Cali!

They just wanted to watch our Friday crew train but the Underground bug snagged them into the workout and the energy was so damn high we took over the entire parking lot!

This ENTIRE workout is being posted in detail at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com along with hundreds of other videos, articles and audio interrogations!

Check the vid…

This kind of training packs on the muscle and strength like no tomorrow.

But it’s not enough to just be strong, you MUST be “in shape” which means having the ability to sustain all types of training which is why we have a HUGE emphasis on using bodyweight / calisthenics to improve physical fitness to an even greater level!

What are your thoughts on training for overall fitness and maintaining a healthy balance between strength, power and conditioning?

Post your thoughts, comments and answers below!

At the end of a LONG day at The Underground Strength Gym, Canada’s Pro Strongman, Paul Vaillancourt, stopped by the gym today with his entourage.

With plans of stopping by for 5 PM they got lost in the Dirty Jerzee and enjoyed some scenery in what some call the ghetto, others call the projects – not a fun place to be driving through with a mini van, a fauly GPS and not a clue as to where the heck you’re going!

We talked biz and training for 10 minutes and I was itching to train.

Before my clients rolled up I cranked out 5 heavy sets of 5 reps in the T Bar Row with 5 plates.

I call this “chunking”, something I detail fully in my REAL Man Muscle Building System.

I was planning on cranking a workout for a solid 15 minutes when I shut down, but I didn’t want to be rude to Paul and his entourage of strongman beasts, so I told them, I have a missed call from my wife AND a voice mail – we have 15 minutes, let’s train.

They ALL jumped in.

UP went the stereo and I cranked some serious tunes and the race was on!

The energy was SICK!

Music cranking all the way, chalk and HEAVY dumbbells were starting to get thrown around.

Paul rocked out some 150 lb snatches and clean and presses with the globe dumbbell, which is WAY tougher than a traditional dumbbell because the handle is bent and it doesn’t revolve in your hand, making the grip factor 20 X tougher.

We all hit 2 or 3 all out sets of the dumbbell snatch / clean & press combo and then we moved onto endless variations of pull ups, every set was with a 20 lb chain around the neck!

In 15 minutes we were done!

Paul and his crew were lovin’ it.

I told them that I don’t BS about these 15 minute workouts.

They responded how much they loved it and how they couldn’t see one area of the body NOT getting worked!

Some video footage soon to come, BUT, the ENTIRE workout will be reserved for my inner circle crew over HERE.

Stay tuned for the video footage!

When someone tells me they need more than 15 minutes to get the job done, I invite them to train with me and I’ll show them how to get BUSY in 15 minutes.

Having a full time job, a gym, an internet biz and MOST importantly, being a Father & a Husband – time is limited, and I tear shit up when 15 minutes if available.

Crush it!

Dhani Jones used to train with my homeboy Joe DeFranco….in a storage closet and sometimes outdoors on a Football field, flipping 600 + lb tires and throwing around Kegs.

Today, Dhani Jones has his own TV show and “Tackles the Globe” while competing in the respective country’s sport, many of which are combat sports.

Check out some footage of Dhani below, and, notice how much of his preparation for each sport requires some unorthodox methods – combining these Underground methods with his athleticism and SERIOUS strength, he is kicking some ass around the globe….

Wrestling, Sambo, Muay Thai, Stone Training, Rugby – these are ALL brutal sports.

I have connected with many Rugby players from the UK and have also had the pleasure of meeting UK Strength Coaches as they attended my Underground Strength Coach Certification – I have NEVER met a weak person from the UK. Seems to me they ALL love serious, no-nonsense, Underground training.

The lesson to be learned from the above videos?

Be Strong and Be Athletic…

This means using bodyweight training methods, odd objects, participating in various sports and getting STRONGER on a regular basis.

Now Get Busy!

–Coach Z–

PS: Bodyweight training, stone training, odd objects and athletic movements…find them all HERE.

PPS: Some kick ass videos coming your way and a BIG announcement on May 25th, stay tuned

PPPS: Dhani’s Strength Coach while on the east coast was Joe DeFranco. Joe & I recently recorded our Lost Secrets of Strength Seminar so stay tuned for this release, it was an un-freakin-real mix of training, business, mindset and lifestyle!
