Many years ago i found my way to Steve Maxwell’s web site. It was quite interesting, to see this renegade physical culturist creating his own style of training, following no rules, using what he had learned through decades of the martial arts and mastering his own body for training.

There were photos of him training with a pair of homemade kettlebells, they were silver and looked deadly! He was performing a bridge while pressing these two kettlebells.

I finally met Steve two years ago at the Ryan Lee Boot Camp and we chatted about grip training and grip strength, rope climbing and using kettlebells.

I was blown away to say the least.

Just yesterday, I shared the stage with Steve, as we co presented the Gladiator Seminar, which went from 10 AM - 6 PM with just a few short breaks for snacking and fluids. Want an amazing day it was and what an honor to learn from such an expert.

I was excited that I was able to teach Steve some new stuff! Who woulda known!

Lucky for you, we recorded every second, and that means this will be available for you to watch at home soon enough. I believe it came out to 7 or 8 tapes! That’s a boat load of info, and all the info was Steve and I cutting through the hype, showing ONLY what works, only what we use, no filler and no fluff.

After training with Steve, I am psyched even more so to hit the bodyweight training. I’ll be tearing up my backyard tonight with my power wheel and kettlebells.

Stay tuned for more stories from the Underground!

Kill it!

Physical culture goes back many, many decades, well over a century. These were times of true strength and athleticism.

Times when men were strong, mobile and agile and… drug free.

Training was a variety of bodybuilding movements and methods, powerlifting movements, strongman drills, gymnastics drills and more.

The physiques developed were nothing shy of incredible, and, ironically, this was the simplest form of training ever. No complications or fancy ying yang methods, yet the results from way back when, are what the strength fanatics of today only wish they could achieve.

The influx of never ending training has confused many, resulting in slow and agonizing progress.

Some of us influenced by Physical Culture tend to lean one way more so than the other. And, this may very well be the case between myself and Steve Maxwell, who I’ll be co hosting the Gladiator Seminar with Steve Maxwell, Saturday, July 12th.

Steve utilizes bodyweight drills, gymnastics movements, kettlebells, indian clubs and the like.

I tend to gravitate towards the methods of the strongman from this iron age: stones, sandbags, barbells, dumbbells and gymnastics based drills.

The end result, regardless of which direction you choose, is phenomenal.

If you are a Coach, this seminar is for you.

If you are not a Coach, and you want to experience a day to blow the lid off your current rate of success and progress, this seminar is for you.

We have a few spots left, and registration is closing in a few days.

Take action now or miss out forever. This seminar will likely never happen again.

The Gladiator Seminar…shutting the doors in 72 hrs. Take action HERE.

Here’s the tail end of some of the crew tearing it up at The Underground Strength Gymnasium, in good ol’ Edison, NJ.

Here’s the workout these beasts endured…

After our Underground warm up, a powerful blend of mobility, calisthenics, bands, movement prep and stability work, they attacked the following:

1A) zercher squats 5 x 4 - 6 reps
1B) mixed push ups for active recovery 5 x 15 reps

2A) 1 arm dumbbell clean & press 3 x 6
2B) weighted pull ups w/mixed grips 3 x max reps

3) jump rope x 5 minutes

ya gotta move, and this is why if you ever saw our warm up, it could kick the crap out of the majority of people who walk through our doors.

We build our athletes up to this training and push hard for strength endurance, power endurance and overall work capacity and mental toughness.

The jump rope at the end is awesome! Jumping rope develops foot speed, leg power, ankle stability and improves wind, BIG time!

Listen to the music blasting, the guys having a blast while training, the atmosphere and another great day in “the office.”

Kick ass and stay strong, more is coming

I was watching some old MMA fights on TV before and it was interesting to see the different physiques each fighter had as well as their level of conditioning: strength endurance, power endurance and overall conditioning.

The bodybuilder type fighters had very, very poor levels of conditioning. They started with a bang and gassed out quickly.

Some of them even got knocked out quickly.

Then there were those who looked rugged, lean and mean. I had seen some of their training and knew that it would deliver in results.

They may not have looked like the guys on the cover of muscle & fitness but man could these guys move with serious speed and they had levels of strength that seemed to never quit.

I used to be a bodybuilder so I remember the feeling of looking like a stud but not delivering on the performance end.

Too many people are missing the boat here and it’s time to change that.

Do you want to make that change?

P.S.- There are a few spots left for The Gladiator Strength Seminar. This will be a very small seminar, where you can expect the utmost undivided attention.

==> http://combatgrappler.com/seminars.html

P.P.S. - Or, you can “spend” your dinero on a seminar filled with scientific, fancy jargon that confuses you and does little for delivering on training that works BIG time in the real world. Fancy talk from book smart gurus who do little in the way of training others with awesome levels of success, let alone training themselves.

It’s time you learned from those who walk the walk and talk the talk.

I remember when I first started setting things up in my garage to begin my own Underground Strength Gym. I was so psyched to be freed from the horrible environments that were in all the gyms around. These gyms sapped me of ALL my energy, it drove me up the wall.

I knew that Underground was the way to go - no rules, no machines, nothing fancy, just old school iron and odd objects.

Do you need anything fancy in your garage, basement or backyard to make some Underground Strength Training come to life? Heck no! Get a barbell, or a few dumbbells, or a few kettlebells, or a sandbag….you get the point, right?

You don’t need ALL of these tools, just one will be plenty fine, and a few more certainly will help, but they are not  a necessity.

I started back in my Dad’s garage with just a 300 lb. barbell set, I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about this before

Check out some footage from my early days in my garage. You can perform the burpee - power clean combo with a kettlebell, a pair of kettlebells, dumbbells, a sandbag or a barbell as shown.

Time for you to get busy with some training!

I pulled up to the gym to drop off cases of water to find two of our most dedicated athletes doing extra workouts on their own. Strongman workouts, that is.

600 lb Tire flips, farmer walks with 220 lbs, log presses with 170 lbs, sled drags with 7 plates…..there was some serious intensity brewing at The Underground!

No one holding their hand, no one urging them to train extra hoping to motivate them to rise to the top.

This was great to see. These guys could have been at the beach or laying around being lazy. And sometimes these are good things, the body grows when resting. The mind needs rest as well. But, the point is these two boys took responsibility and action for wanting to achieve specific goals.

Action is key. Inspired action makes things happen very quickly. It is powerful, powerful stuff.

Success is in their hands, is it in yours?

Watching this video was great. I came across it by chance, as my TV watching days are slim to none, I have lost touch with who’s who in MMA. The last time I rented a UFC pay per view fight I fell asleep on the couch before it ever started!

This video reminds me of some of the training I would take my wrestlers through down at the field. Cleaning & Throwing kettlebells for 5 minute rounds, brawling drills and sumo drills on the grass immediately after sprinting up hill, carrying a partner on your back.

Watch this video and you’ll see what brings me back to my first days. It’s super primitive, yet it brutally effective.

This style of training is not just for fighters, it’s for anyone. Training does not discriminate - it never did, it never will

I am inviting you to join myself and Steve Maxwell at our Gladiator Strength Seminar, July 12th. Space is almost full, and those who attend this event will get a deep, up close and personal look into the extremely effective methods Steve and I use for training athletes and people from all walks of life.
