One of our Underground Strength Coaches, Nelson “Necho” Puentes just returned from the NAGA grappling tournament last weekend and took 1st in white belt Gi and No Gi. His next battle will be the Pan Ams this Fall as a Blue Belt in BJJ.

P.S. - Get your Russian Kettlebells HERE. The workouts you can perform with kettlebells are endless. Today, I was throwing and tossing my Kettlebells on a grass field! The workout was intense but man was it awesome using all power to throw those bells around!

Here’s a sample of what some of our athletes did yesterday. Give it a go and let me know how you do:

After a warm up (our warm up is listed at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com)

The Underground Strength Workout:

1A) Sandbag shouldering 4 x 6 (3 each shoulder)

1B) 1 arm Kettlebell push press 4 x 6

2) 100 reps of mixed grip pulling and mixed pushing bodyweight drills

These drills consisted of:

- mixed grip pull ups

- recline rows with thick ropes

- dips

- ring push ups

- weighted pull ups

- clapping push ups

- feet elevated push ups

- close grip push ups

- medicine ball push ups

The athletes were allowed to break down the reps any way they wanted, continuing until pushing and pulling each had 100 reps.

The end of the workout was 4 sets of sled and prowler work for 150′ per trip.

After that recovery was utilized as a cool down.

It was a rough one to say the least.

The warm up we use will be placed on video at The Underground, you don’t wanna miss this one!

Go get em’ and I’m looking forward to your comments!

My gym, The Underground Strength Gymnasium, is connected to an auto garage. On the side of that garage, the owner throws old tires away. Some with the wheel still intact, others just the tire. I snagged a few and helped guys make these tires into sleds. They were happy

Can you build muscle and build strength through the use of things you might find in a junk yard?

You better believe it.

 Check out the video below and fast forward to the 1 minute mark. I am not too fond of the partial reps and pump training this fighter does, although he can kick my ass

Many athletes are successful in spite of their training methods because of their high skill levels.

There are many incomplete and / or incorrect training programs, and for any athlete, the partial reps and light pump training is what I wouldn’t want to see, unless it was a deload session.

The explosive work with the tire in this video is some really good stuff.

You can do this with a light kettlebell as well.

Check out the video and pay attention to how you can get in some tire training or any other form of Underground Strength Training to deliver ass kickin’ results.

P.S. - When my athletes stopped following the traditional workouts most people use in gyms today, their results exploded. I want you to learn these methods, either through the up and coming Gladiator Seminar, or through Underground Strength Coach.

Sometimes, I feel we train too often, too much. I am going for the minimum necessities that give me the maximum bang for my buck. And today, was one of those days!

Here’s my workout which lasted barely 20 minutes…..

Who knows what the heck is gonna happen when Steve Maxwell and I get together on July 12, for The Gladiator Seminar.

With both of us living on opposite ends of the country, this will likely never happen again.

With unique and different views on physical culture, we’ll be bringing some serious madness to the table and if you’re able to see what we do, you’re going to one of the few who take our methods to a whole new level for yourself and / or your business.

See you at The Underground!
