Part II of the http://LiftSTRONG.com fundraiser, the strongman log! High school bruddahs rocked the 100 lb log and college athletes cranked the 160 lb log. Check it and drop a comment, thought, question or random anything :) Soon it will be time to tone down the strongman training we do and get away from all the beatings it can give the body. Football season is around the corner and our Gridiron Gladiators are ready to run through their competition. The time is NOW. Make it … [Read more...]

Blast from the Past: Where it ALL Began!
Back in the day, I was training wrestlers from my garage and local playgrounds. That soon evolved into Football players as well. Check out one of my earliest videos training wrestlers....I DO miss those days, I won't lie :) All of the wrestlers in that video started with me never making it to the state tournament. Before they graduated all of them placed in the states and one of them was a state finalist. Today, some of them wrestle for Division 1 schools and others for D 3 schools. 1 of … [Read more...]
The ONLY Rule: There are NO Rules
When I first began trianing my dungeon garage my only rule was, "There are NO Rules." I was tired of being confined to routine and rules when I was training in a commercial gym setting. I have learned that there is no 1 tool or 1 way to make things happen - there are many ways. On the flip side, there are ways that are much better than others. But if all you do is follow the rules, you will not exceed your boundaries or the limitations people tell you about. Break the rules and start … [Read more...]
Underground Strength Gym High School Pull Up Contest
A few of the high school bruddahs needed a lil' extra motivation so i decided to crank an unannounced pull up contest to win our latest Underground T Shirts. You'll see they ALL hit double digits. What's more important is that not long ago, some of these kids were only performing 3 pull ups with less than stellar technique. One of these athletes was not able to perform ONE pull up! Remember Kids: Eat Your Pull Ups for Breakfast! Check the vid and drop a comment, show some luv! I do pull … [Read more...]

These are just SOME of the perks of running your own biz, you don't have to be subjected to the punishment of sappy love tunes and other fitness bunnies talking on their cell phones while you try to push … [Read more...]
Jersey Shore Strength Adventures
Last week I took a journey 45 minutes south to the beautiful Jersey shore. My buddy Mike Stehle runs a kick ass training center HERE. The awesome thing about Mike's place is not just the set up and the equipment, it's the atmosphere he creates combined with the ability to train outdoors while breathing in the fresh, ocean air. His gym is literally a few blocks from the beach - it's VERY powerful to train while breathing in this air and it feels great. But this time around, it felt more like … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Develop Pressing Power & Brute Strength
This is the beginning of an upper body workout with some crazy college athletes - the energy is high and the strength is pretty freaky as well. Note how we hype them up with a few quick sets of plyometrics and medicine ball throws. Check these bruddahs out... Before these college athletes ever touched a barbell we needed them to achieve some "benchmarks". No need for them to bench if they weren't demonstrating a foundation of strength to bench press. Push ups, dips, kettlebell pressing, … [Read more...]
How Bodyweight Training Opened My Eyes & Changed My LIFE
Bodyweight training has always been at the top of my list of critical components of being strong and athletic. But, I mostly used bodyweight training as a finisher in my workouts. After heavy upper body workouts my training partner and I did chins and dips for high reps as a superset. Or, when I was on vacation, I did bodyweight only workouts. It wasn't until I started waking up with serious joint aches and pains that I started taking bodyweight training much more seriously and turned … [Read more...]
