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!

I was looking at my current strength on certain lifts, such as squats and benching and saw that my numbers were VERY big back when I was bodybuilding.

 I squatted 455 for sets of 6 - 10, squatted 315 for 20 - 25 reps, squatted 225 for 45 - 50 reps. My bench was at 275 for sets of 6 - 8. But, now I am deadlifting 550 lbs, farmer walks with 200 lbs per hand, dragging sleds that weigh almost 400 lbs and much more.

Now the brutal combination of past and current knowledge is meshing together.
