Do this, Do that. Rest this long, do x sets, x reps, bla bla bla. If you always have someone telling you what to do, how to do it, when to do...... You will never succeed in anything. You have to figure things out on your own. You must be willing to experiment, to make mistakes and most of all, to fight back and learn to do things better. Every morning of a holiday I like to hold Holiday morning training sessions at The Underground Strength Gym. You can see some OLD videos below and … [Read more...]
Training to Always Be Ready VS “I Have to Get Ready”
I've been harping on a topic I call "Always Be Ready" for many years now. I began hearing the phrase I have to get ready from people who were interested in training at The Underground Strength Gym many years ago. They would come in with a friend or do a trial and then I'd hear that weak phrase, I have to get ready...... I was thinking to myself, who the hell says that? Why not just be relentless and attack NOW!!?? Who shows up for a trial workout and then doesn't want to ATTACK NOW? … [Read more...]

HARD Nosed Lifting Lessons from 1991
Lessons from 1991 - Make The Rep or Die! I was a high school sophomore and it was a bit after wrestling season. I was training at the local gym where my parents would drop me off and come back 2-4 hours later. I would train, have a protein shake, do homework and then if my parents weren't there yet, I'd get on the bike and pedal. I recall once waiting for them as they did holiday shopping and I pedaled a marathon on an old exercise bike, AFTER my regular training. I didn't get … [Read more...]
Strength Training & Fitness Is So Simple, It’s Complicated
The photo above is from 1938. That's a pretty impressive physique for about 80 years ago. I am sure his training was ultra basic, what else was there in 1938? I am sure this man's nutrition was basic as well. If I could guess, he did calisthenics, basic gymnastics, basic barbell and dumbbell work and maybe some running? He probably worked full time, did manual labor and worked hard. Of course, the food back then was likely much more different than today. Whole eggs and whole milk were … [Read more...]

Zach’s 42nd Birthday Sale Starts NOW
Well, that went FAST. Today I am 42. There will be no celebrations or big parties on my end. Honestly, the past few years I have moved into being more quiet with a lot of things and my hard headed attitude of "EARN IT" makes me stray from parties and such. Today is my birthday and also, it's the 5 year anniversary of when I met with the land lord and began signing papers for the Manasquan Underground Strength Gym. This week I will announce a variety of sales and to kick it off, … [Read more...]
They Said “Slow Down, You’re Working Too Hard.” THEY. ARE. WRONG.
Every morning I rise early. Before the dogs went to get out of their own beds. Before the sun has risen. I get the Coffee going for myself and my wife. I begin writing. My writing comes from my inner fire, which I began to recognize in myself as soon as I began lifting weights, circa June of 1989. The emotions that came from training were a mixture of many feelings; Anger, Safety, Confidence, Intensity, Passion, Loneliness, Bonding, Aggression and then some....... The majority of … [Read more...]
