Wanna get bigger? Wanna look rugged, lean and mean?

Then you better plan on getting stronger, period.

Heavy weights, low to moderate reps, some high rep sets here and there, lots of quality food, quality rest, basics, basics, basics.

So many people wonder why they aren’t getting the results they want, and I always laugh because even though I tell them how, they still have excuses.

They look at one of our freaks at The Underground Strength Gymnasium, Curls, and they think he has special genetics and some sort of secret weapon.

Let me tell you this….

I have known Curls since he was in 4th grade. He was a chubby kid with the LEAST athletic potential. In tag games he was usually tagged first. He couldn’t do 1 good push up.

In middle school, he bagn thinning out, getting taller and performing lots of calisthenics on his own as well as playing various sports: Football, Basketball, Soccer and Track and Field.

He hit the weights HARD in high school. Harder than everyone else.

He joined The Underground when we were in the garage and field, and when he wasn’t training at The Underground, he was training at the high school, running stairs, doing pull ups on soccer goal posts or tree branches in the park. At night he did push ups.

He never skipped breakfast, or any meal for that matter. He brought protein bars to school to eat in between classes.

Today, Curls trains with the furey of a mad man. He can move BIG weight AND move at a VERY fast pace. A pace that makes others run to the designated “puke spot” around the corner of our gym.

That’s one story of a guy who had the least potential and is now the strongest guy in our gym and on his team (and that was as a Freshman in college!).

If you have excuses, then you’ll never build strength or muscle the way you want to.

Less talk, a lot more action = building a lot of strength and a lot of muscle.

You choose.

In Strength,

P.S.See how we build freaky strength and muscle with our Underground Methods. We don’t mess around.

Every time I see Curls on a video I am extremely impressed.
It shows what a fierce drive, focused determination, and hard work, coupled with great coaching can accomplish!
Curls is an inspiration & so is his coach (you!!!).
Great work!!!
