If you've been keeping up with The STRONG Life Podcast then you KNOW I post on the regular, a Bonus called REAL Talk with my buddy, Jonas. We talk life, business and anything else on our mind. In this episode, we discuss the strange world of business coaches in the fitness business. As a gym owner myself for well over a decade, I have seen a lot of people and things come and go. The big issue here is that Coaches consistently feel they are not a success unless they are living up to the … [Read more...]
Beyond the Chalk: Going BEYOND The Underground Strength Gym, BEYOND “Strength & Conditioning”
Beyond the Chalk is an inspiring look into the DEEPER meaning of Coaches lives, brought to us by Ron McKeefery and PLAE. I was honored and floored when they asked me to kick off season 2. I've always said, on the surface, people see The Underground Strength Gym as a "strength & conditioning" facility. But as I always say, THAT is just the surface. The Underground exists to change lives through strength. The Underground has always stood for much more than helping an athlete become … [Read more...]

Training In Your 40s VS Training High School & College Athletes
The older you get, the harder the training gets! It's tougher to make gains and you can forget about that "maintenance" BS program. As you get older, the last thing you want is that WEAK attitude of "I'm just maintaining". If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. I NEVER use the word "maintenance" when training anyone, including in season for athletes. Think about it, how weak does it sound when you say "I'm just trying to maintain." It sounds like you fear the work. It … [Read more...]

I'm returning home from an amazing trip to Vermont to help with our annual Spartan Wrestling Camp but this was also the FIRST time I took my son with me to Vermont.

I know that Joe will always throw a monkey wrench into what we're doing. For my son, I wanted him to experience the outdoors, the beauty and power of hiking the mountain and to escape from … [Read more...]

5 Reasons Why Changing Lives Is The MINIMUM “Effective Dose” If You’re a Coach
Around 2010 or so I remember setting a goal to change the lives of 1 Million People through STRENGTH. It was, at the time, a BIG goal for me. I had written this goal on a small white board in my office and I looked at the "Pay it Forward" model. I imagined if I could educate and certify Thousands of Underground Strength Coaches, they could inspire and educate others in our quest to change 1 million lives. No man climbs a mountain alone. I posted an … [Read more...]
