Yep, that’s right, still, MORE footage from the morning of Christmas eve…..

You’ll see the boys making sure they work those “beach muscles”, an unannounced Grip Strength Challenge to have some fun and all in all GREAT times with my Underground homeboys.

I told you, I’m bringing back the Golden Era!

Here is another lil’ taste of what we did during our X Mas morning Strength Gathering.

This was the FIRST time our guys rocked the atlas stone, it was great fun.

Notice how it requires strength AND athleticism. Flexibility and mobility through the hips, back and hamstrings - weak areas are exposed and mental toughness is tested.

If you think this strength gathering looked FUN, who knows what the hell is gonna happen this friday, January 9th! I’m holding a strength gathering for those attending The Underground Strength & Powerlifting Seminar, still a few spots left & you can sign up HERE.

I hope to see you this Friday & this weekend!

Kill it!

PS: I am in the midst of finishing the new web site for http://UndergroundStrengthManual.com - BUT, I edited and added a BOAT LOAD of new materials and updated info. I added 9 more audio interrogations and added a 1 year Underground Beast Strength program. You’ll see all the added info when you are taken to the thank you page.

PPS: Comments or questions about the workout or seminar or anything, post em’ below baby!

Bringing together all the athletes is critical for creating an unbeatable environment.

1 on 1 is dead, it’s boring and doesn’t elevate intensity anywhere near what could happen with a crew of motivated beasts.

This is part 1 of our X Mas Eve, morning Underground Strength Gathering.

Stay tuned for part 2 of our X Mas Eve morning, Underground Strength Gathering!

What did you do on the morning of X Mas Eve?

Kill it!

Go out and make business happen.

In this video you’ll see two certified Underground Strength Coaches talking about living their dreams, NOT dreaming their life.

Joe DeFranco chats about how and where he started briefly, but more of that is HERE.

Yes, it takes “balls”, if you will, to take the jump.

4 years and 2 months ago I payed Joe DeFranco for an in person consultation. It took 6 months to set up. 6 MONTHS! I understood the power of investing in my business knowledge to learn from someone who was doing what I wanted to do.

Check the video below and feel free to post comments and / or questions for me.

Isn’t it time you started killin’ it?

On the 2nd day of ‘The Lost Secrets of Strength Development’ seminar at Joe DeFranco’s Gym, I arrived slightly early and Joe D was rolling up slower than me.

The entire crew was waiting out back and my eye was caught by a stone and a log.

To ensure I was not to be arrested I went for the log and announced a log throwing contest.

I screwed the rules up b/c I allowed the distance to include the rolling of the log. I figured on cement it would be tough to get a clear and accurate pinpoint of exactly where the log landed.

In the end, a Jersey native won the contest and snagged himself an Underground Strength Coach Camo Tee and winter beanie! NICE

Check the contest and feel free to post your comments and thoughts below!

Of course, this brought back memories of when I started training athletes in my backyard and we were using logs! This was some sick stuff!

Kill it!

–Coach Z–

PS: The ultimate in raw, no rules training can be found HERE.

Guys, this video has always amped me up, and with wrestling season in full swing here in the dirty jerzee (and everywhere else in the USA) it is only fitting you see what a wrestler can do when he has brute strength, lightning fast power and amazing skill….

I don’t know about you, but I feel like kicking someone’s ass now! ha ha

I just hope I don’t run into my own wrestlers for saying that, ha ha!

Today, we had a lot of our college wrecking crew training at http://UndergroundStrengthGym.com - but we also had 1 of my 7th grade wrestlers killing it. His Dad said, “Damn Zach, they’re all Bigger than you!”

He’s right! That’s the goal - I want ALL my athletes to be way stronger than me. Not that I am some super human beast, but, if you know young athletes, most of them are weaker than the Sunday Newspaper - I have seen these dudes transform from weak as hell to strong as hell - it’s a GREAT feeling to see this stuff!

Here’s a lil’ sneak peek of today’s in season wrestling workout. I post ALL of the workouts our athletes do at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com

1) Zercher Squat w/thick cambered bar: 5 x 2 reps

2A) double Kettlebell Push Press 4 x 3 reps

2B) mixed grip pull ups 4 x max reps

3A) glute ham raise 3 x 10

3B) weighted 45 degree back extensions 3 x 10

4) grip & abs 3 x each

Give the workout a shot and let me know how you like it. If you’re not an in season athlete, feel free to bump the zercher squat and kettlebell reps up to 5 per set.

Post your comments on the video below!

Kill it!

PS: Coming Soon! We have an Underground Strength Show of one of our wrestling beasts and man it is some killer shizza! Just wait and see!

PPS: Wanna know how our wrestlers train and why they kill it BIG time?

Their secret weapon is found at http://UndergroundStrengthKit.com

Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

I have a cool idea and want to see you helping me and the hundreds and hundreds of others at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com

I want to add videos to http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com  of YOU, showing us any “how to” videos.

This is a great way for you to get more publicity and most importantly, simply to help others.

Who knows, maybe you don’t give 2 shits about publicity and just wanna help others, that would rock BIG time if you show some love, so show some action!

You would post your video to youtube.com or any of the video host sites such as vimeo.com or viddler.com

Here are some topic ideas, but of course, feel FREE to add anything else you feel will help:

- how to make a sandbag

- how to fill a keg

- how to set up your Underground garage gym

- how to set up your Underground backyard gym

- how to train at a playground

- how to make an atlas stone platform

- how to make gym equipment from a junk yard

- how to pick up chicks at a bar (KIDDING!)

- how to perform a bent press

Get the idea?

I bet you could blast some killer info in an effort to share with others your knowledge.

Once your video is up, e mail me and I’ll start posting them at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com

I’m psyched to see who can dish out the most bad ass Underground Strength video.

In the video make sure you introduce yourself, state your name and location clearly and of course, feel free to mention a web site or gym.

Looking forward to killing it with you.

Wow, look what I dug up! Years ago, I had the opportunity to e mail Coach Ethan Reeve, one of my mentors, and he dished out some insanely powerful training information. Here it is, once again, for your reading pleasure.

Grab some hot cocoa, relax and enjoy!

Coach Reeve: Yes, I wrestled at the University of Tennessee from 1973-77. Although I was not an NCAA Champion I was a 4-time Southeastern Conference Champion and a 2-time NCAA All-American. Fortunately, I was privileged to have been an assistant wrestling coach under some great coaches at the University of Tennessee (Gray Simons), Oklahoma State University (Tommy Chesbro), Ohio University (Harry Houska) and Clemson University (Eddie Griffin). Eventually I landed the Head Wrestling coach position at the University of Tennessee @ Chattanooga where I coached from 1984-1990. We had five Southern Conference Championship teams in six years. I loved coaching wrestling and still miss it. However, I really enjoy training all sorts of sport athletes. The main thing I enjoyed about coaching wrestling was the training in the wrestling room. That is why it was such an easy transition to strength coaching because I just love training athletes and helping them become champions. Hard, smart work is the answer to success!

Basically, we are at the mercy of the athletes that are given to us by our sport coaches in recruiting. Our job, as strength coaches, is to “maximize” the athletic potential of each and every athlete we work with. We trust our sport coaches to identify the athletes they feel can help our university have success in that particular sport. Sport coaches, like NFL scouts, will look at film and visit the players and see how they perform at practice and in competition. An athlete can have great results in the “combine” but not perform well in competition. If the athletes do not succeed in their sport under competitive situations then they will be overlooked in the recruiting process no matter how well they test in the strength room or combine. What coaches need are athletes that perform well in competition. We do not emphasize numbers in testing in the strength room or speed and agility tests. We look for adequate strength, power, speed and athleticism. If the athletes given to us do not meet our standards then it is our job to get them to those minimum standards. It is the athlete’s choice to go beyond those standards and succeed at a higher level on the field of competition.
