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!
Kill it!

Great footage!! But where’s the heavy squats, deadlifts, bench presses and military presses?
Long time since you shared videos of those lifts.
Other than that! Keep up the good work!
(Love your blog post at kickbacklife.com)
Gotta love the sleds. Just started making my own from the underground training manual. Can’t wait to get it going on some of my people.
Zach, I totally agree. At the moment I get my strength injection from gymnastics ring training (prior to this from kettlebells) and my metcon from body weight circuits. In addition to this I also do joint mobility and stretching. Total fitness includes brutal and intense metcon sessions combined with strength training and the ability to move well.
Great video!
Agreed- you gotta build that work capacity even higher in order to handle the intense workloads, volume, etc to get yourself to that next level!
Not only that, this kinda stuff builds up that mental toughness and attitude! Great carryover to athletics, school, life, etc.. Keep up the good work, hope to make it over to NJ one of these days!
Haha! Keeping it real Zach – love it – so this is what you were doing instead of coming to Connecticut – I saw your name tag here and was looking forward to meeting you –
Because shit, God knows I’m not comin’ out to Jersey – I might get sucked into one of these freakin sessions!
Dudes, love the comments. No worries, deadlifts, squats and presses coming soon
Wait till you see the upcoming highlight video of what I did when Canada invaded The Underground – some heavy stuff I tell ya!
This week begins our training for strongman as we prep for our Lift STRONG fundraiser as well as the battle VS DeFrancos!
Gonna be a CRAZY summer!
Looked like an awesome day of training! Agreed on the bodyweight training…it is a MUST for ALL athletes!
Hey Z, what would happen if we trained just our quads and no hams? If we stumbled backwards we’d fall on our a**, right? That’s the same as training without balance. Hmmm, the words, one dimensional, comes to mind. Keep doing what you do bruddah, great video!
Killer s#*t as usual Zach. I agree with John C. Work capacity is key. I’m never going to be the strongest dude in the gym but I refuse to let someone out work me! That’s what I try and teach my kids, being mentally tough in the weight room, court, field, or where ever! That stuff sticks with a young kid forever.
Looks like it was an awesome seminar. haha Can’t believe you got Big Tim to rip the sleeves off. Baddass workouts though, tough stuff.
