Last night I went to the neighboring downtown with my family as everyone got some ice cream. In case you’re wondering, I skipped the ice cream part
Don’t worry, I’m still human, I eat ice cream, but I’m on a mission, and that will require doing what others don’t do.
On the way home, about half way there, my wife dropped me off on the side of the road so I could run the rest of the way. This wasn’t your typical jog all the way and do nothing else.
No my friend, this was a brutal workout mixed with many different methods and movements.
First of all, I had to run the first few minutes up a steady incline. I ran instead of jogged, but didn’t sprint all out. I then walked the distance of 2 or 3 houses, dropped and cranked out 10 push ups. The running began again, this time, through the woods behind my old elementary school, jumping over bushes, downed trees, on the side of a hill and finally sprinting through the parking lot.
I jumped up and grabbed the basketball rim and cranked out 5 perfect pull ups.

Quite often I get some strange people roaming into my gym wondering what we do and feeling they can do it.
Today, while training someone who is 3 weeks out from an MMA fight and going through his first “trial by fire” I have to remind the guy watching NOT to pick up our Kettlebells. It’s the same as me grabbing his car keys and taking his car for a ride. It’s common sense, don’t touch what isn’t yours. This seems to be a problem for too many people to understand.
Next, while training this fighter, the bothersome individual asks how much it costs to train with us….my answer, “We don’t train just anyone, we train athletes and lots of fighters”…..he replies, “I fight a lot.”

You can see my latest article in newsstands now, in Fighters Only Magazine, a UK based magazine but it hits world wide newsstands.
I LOVE the UK combat athletes. My first ever interview on the web was from a UK based web site, and I noticed one thing about these UK fighters: They LOVE hard training.
I have never received whining, cry baby e mails from UK fighters either. They are HUGE supporters of my Underground Training and Products as well.
I won’t tell you what’s inside this magazine, but you will certainly dig it.
So rush on out to your local Barnes and Noble and get yourself a copy!
In Strength,
Zach Even – Esh
