This was another amazing weekend for me.
Seriously, I am flattered, honored and super impressed with the quaility of bruddahs rollin’ up my way to become Underground Strength Coaches.
The next weekend Underground Strength Coach Certification is FAST approaching, October 10th. Sometimes you just gotta say “F**K It!” and sign up, rather than waiting for the next one and the next one.
Not sure if there ever is such a thing as the “right time.”
Check the highlight & drop a comment or question bruddah broskie…..
I’ll be posting more highlights of what guys are doing in just a few short weeks after completing their USC Certifications.
I LOVE seeing and helping people make their dreams become reality.
What are your BIG plans? How are you gonna make them happen?
Peace Bruddahs!

Every now and again I crank a rant. Sometimes ya gotta just say it like it is.
My friend, Johnny Drama is also fired the fuck up! See what he has to say, how pissed off he is, and then see what I have to say below…..
I’ve received too many e mails from people wondering why they can’t pack on the muscle or get stronger. They have a million excuses as to why this or that doesn’t work for them.
Too many people asking for everything to be handed to them on a silver platter.
Too many shit talkers.
One dude e mailed me stating he cancelled his membership to http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com and then followed that up with 5 BIG questions. Is that rude, stupid or BOTH?
In business, I receive countless rude e mails telling me they are going to stop by my gym and see how I do things. Thanks for inviting yourself 
I never spent a dime on my business education and since I don’t know you and you’re so polite, feel free to stop by.
If some people were a bit nicer and had better manners things would have been different.
The first time I e mailed Joe DeFranco asking to stop by and do a Q & A with him I said this, “I know you’re extremely busy and I value your time. I’d be willing to pay you whatever the investment is for an hour of your time, or whatever time you have available.”
I payed him less than 2 weeks away from my wedding which was a time when I was in serious financial troubles but I KNEW that I needed a mentor and I KNEW that the investment would return 10 fold. It has returned infinitely.
I guess 5 years later everything is supposed to be free and easy. Does anybody realize that success requires work?
Feel free to shout out your own rants in the comments section. Some people really shock me with their rudeness, laziness, jealousy, trash talking, and sense of entitlement.
On with the show…
Top 10 Reasons Why You Train Like a Panzy….
1. You can’t get stronger. Fucking add weight to the bar and crank the tunes. Stop being scared of the weights.
2. You can’t gain muscle. You’re not training hard enough, period. You train like a pussy and eat like a bird, enough said.
3. You think dumbbells can’t do the job. I have a 150 lb dumbbell in my gym. If you can snatch it, clean & press it, floor press it, row it, carry it and swing it, you ARE a strong MoFo! Dumbbells work, and if they don’t work, it means you ain’t workin’ hard enough.
4. You keep looking for the “Secret Sauce”. Stop looking for the secret supplement. You won’t find results in a bottle or a jar. Earn it, SON!
5. You have NO passion for strength and muscle. If you don’t love the iron you will NEVER gain strength and muscle as fast as the next guy who loves wrapping his hands around a heavy barbell or dumbbell.
6. You’re a Fucking Quitter. Push yourself to the limit. Train hard. Stop popping zits in the mirror and checking your hair. The set ends when you have pushed past your limits.
7. You use a cell phone while training. Do you check text messages or take phone calls when training? You SUCK!
8. You don’t Deadlift. This exercise ain’t pretty. Squat down, grip it and rip it. And NO, the leg press is not a substitute!
9. You don’t Squat. Putting BIG weights on your back is no joke. Squatting heavy AND for high reps will shock your body into new growth.
10. Your stomach always hurts. If you eat like shit your stomach will always bother you. Stop eating like shit and do what needs to be done to improver your fitness. If not, you will always be nauseous. Get in shape and commit to yourself. And guess what, sometimes you just might throw up. Oh well.
That’s my rant.
I’m tired of the half assers and tired of the free loaders.
I’m tired of the quitters, the whiners and complainers.
Tired of the jealous assholes who feel entitled to everything.
It’s called WORK.
Step up, train hard, work hard and get your hands dirty.
Till the next time…

5 years ago I spent over 4 hours on the phone with a guy by the name of Alwyn Cosgrove.
I’m talking 4 + hours straight, not an hour here and there.
I “met” AC through special business forums that Ryan Lee created, which were membership forums. The most motivated dudes were on this forum, and back then, as they are now, these were industry leaders.
I was living at home, die hard passionate about doing what I do now for a living. Guys like Brian Grasso, Lee Taft, Jason C. Brown and Pat Bieth were members.
Back when AC spent time on the phone with me, he helped me create a system to run my business, which at the time was being run from the garage of my new home.
Except, back then, my home was being worked on – it was getting a complete overhaul, but, the first thing that got the overhaul was my 2 car garage, ha ha
I lived with my parents for a YEAR as the house was getting rebuilt, and I payed our contractors through the money I made with my training business.
Little did I know that the smartest man in the fitness industry was lying in his bed with tubed sticking out or his body as he was fighting Stage IV Cancer – you see my friend, AC NEVER told me he had cancer.
He was so passionate about helping me do what I love, he didn’t mention a word about it.
I speak with AC regularly via phone and e mail, and aside from his Coaching group , there isn’t much chance you can connect with my mentor.
But, his Blog kicks serious ass and he gave me permission to borrow a recent post which you will see below. It’s quite powerful and if you have any inkling of a thought that you want to run a fitness business, then you better read every word of what’s written below….

After 4 of us rocked a 106 lb strict pull up, it was time to move up and challenge the 115 lb pull up.
Take a look and see who stood apart from the pack….

Stuck in a dead end job?
That’s YOUR choice.
I hear of people WAITING for work to pick up.
FUCK THAT!
Go out and make business happen.
In this video you’ll see two certified Underground Strength Coaches talking about living their dreams, NOT dreaming their life.
Joe DeFranco chats about how and where he started briefly, but more of that is HERE.
Yes, it takes “balls”, if you will, to take the jump.
4 years and 2 months ago I payed Joe DeFranco for an in person consultation. It took 6 months to set up. 6 MONTHS! I understood the power of investing in my business knowledge to learn from someone who was doing what I wanted to do.
Check the video below and feel free to post comments and / or questions for me.
Isn’t it time you started killin’ it?

I have never used such a training tool that forces you to GO, GO, GO and can whoop your ass in such a short time.
Well, let me rephrase that: These Battling Ropes rank up there with the prowler and high rep kettlebell snatches.
These ropes are an amazing tool. They develop full bodt stamina, mental toughness, grip strength endurance and power endurance.
There is NO slow with the battling ropes, it’s ALL power output, or as their creator, John Brookfield says, this is velocity output – always at high speeds.
For the Strength Crew at The University of Louisville, they battled the kettlebells, they battled the prowler and now they had to battle the ropes.
Let’s see who wins the final challenge….
That’s the end of our 3 part video with the crew at Louisville.

Training is emotional for me. It brings me joy, laughter and sometimes even tears.
