Episode # 82: Grip Strength Mania, Part Deux!
Training partners that are tough, dedicated and passionate are like needles in a hay stack.
I once fired a PRO Bodybuilder from being my training partner!
He was lazy, always had an excuse, everyone carried him, babied him and he was a mental basket case!
You need Gladiators for training partners, people who don’t fear the pain, the sweat and the guts to kill it.
I train alone, but here and there, a beast walks through the doors and brings extra energy to the table.
This is part two from one of those days 
“Heavier, Heavier…..”
There is more to come from the footage above! Stay tuned & if you like this Blog, spread the word, I would love that!
Gotta love training partners who wanna kill it!
Tell me about your best training partner and the craziest workouts you ever had by posting your comments below…I can’t wait to read them!
Kill it!

The night before we will hold a mini Strength & Health picnic, FREE, for all who attend the seminar & members of http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com

One of my best training partners was a South African kid who used to come to my old gym called “North Jersey Health Club” we used to do legs together and after we did “heavy” squats 550lbs for 15 reps x 3 sets we would do 50 rep sets with 600 on the press. I can’t even tell you how many times I puked I’m surprised my stomach is still intact. Thank for the great posts.
Keep Killin’ it!

Just last Thursday, my buddy Dan and I decided to have an impromptu dead-lift contest. I weigh 175 and am 5’7″, he is around 6’5″ and well over 200. We started at 175 pounds and pushed it until I got 291! Never done dead-lifts seriously before! After I got 291, Dan had to try and beat me….He dead-lifted 301 pounds!
You can’t beat a crazy training partner, they ALWAYS make you better!
Keep on Killin It Zack, and Happy Holidays!

my favorite grip training is with farmers carries… especially when i tear callouses of and bleed though my fingers such that the red drips follow me the length of my walk!
hats off the crazy mother fuckers!
