Underground Strength Bodyweight Workout Challenge
I got the e mail from "that guy" who got too caught up reading one too many articles on the secrets of building speed and muscle. "I weigh 130 lbs and I wanna be a BEAST! I am gonna follow the Football program at my high school and was wondering, can I use Bodyweight Bodybuilding on my off days? Bodyweight is just good for finishers, right?" That question may have come from a high school football player but I get the same question from guys in their 20s all the way up to their … [Read more...]
Healthy Shoulders Are Worth Their Weight In Gold
When your shoulders have issues, the rest of your body will suffer. Trust me. Been there, done that on MANY fronts. Back in high school I remember feeling like someone was stabbing my shoulder with a knife every time I perform the dumbbell press with the elbows out. I had half a brain and tested elbows in and it worked. In my mind 20s my brother and I wound up wrestling and I was in a precarious position and refused to let go. The result was a tear to the rotator cuff. It was so painful I was … [Read more...]

Success Begins With The Right Attitude
“Failure Defeats Losers, Failure Inspires Winners.” ~ Robert T. Kiyosaki ~ [youtube width="640" height="360"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STMtw36vTQo[/youtube] I WISH I understood how to achieve success during my teen years. The past is the past and looking back does NO good. I will learn from the past and focus on leaving it as such. Lately I have realized that I look BACK way too often. I don't hold onto the past, I do however realize WHY I learned from the past. The reason I learned … [Read more...]
10 Basic Attitudes Of A Warrior
I am always learning from others, hunting for ways to improve my knowledge and share it with Team Underground, apply it to my own training and to share with you. While away in upstate NY, I had LOTS of time to think deeply about life & lifting. I feel that all of us should get away every few months to "quiet the mind" & soul search. I used to be OVERLY influenced by others to a point where I couldn't decide what / how to do things fully on my own. Unfortunately, I see this still … [Read more...]
It Pays To Be A Winner
I've been greatly influenced by the Navy SEALs and The Special Ops Community. I've learned how much more capable the human body is in the realm of ALL facets in life. There truly are NO ceilings, we can be better in ALL that we do, and rightfully so. The SEALs & Special Ops Community prove it by walking the talk and leading from the front. My time through The SEALFit 20 X Challenge not only taught me a LOT about myself, but I learned that "It Pays To Be A Winner". There are ways to … [Read more...]

Usually, this works best when performing the practice exercise for anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks. There are several ways to apply Grease The groove (GTG) for maximum effect. … [Read more...]
Bodyweight Bodybuilding Inspiration Winners
This is TOUGH! ALL the videos from The Bodyweight Bodybuilding Inspiration Contest moved me, inspired me and some really touched my heart. During these inspiration contests I realize how tough it is to choose just one prize winner. This is when being "The Judge" kinda sucks, ha ha The last few hours of the inspiration contest we must have gotten 20 or so video submissions for The Bodyweight Bodybuilding Inspiration Contest. It was a whirlwind of people submitting videos last … [Read more...]
Tire Flip Instruction – Strongman Training Technique
After our recent Lift STRONG fundraiser, benefiting Leukemia & Lymphoma Foundation, I saw how countless athletes had NO clue how to properly flip the tire, especially the heavier, 600 lb tire. Even the guys who were built like brick shit houses were often found wrestling and failing to flip the 600 lb tire. Learning HOW to use your strength is critical if you want to be successful as an athlete. This is what we call "functional strength" - can your gym strength be used to apply OUTSIDE … [Read more...]
