Last night I was so tired when I was done training my athletes at The Underground I was ready to just call it a night and drive home.
But I knew I just couldn’t quit! I had to go hard and dig deep.
It’s been a LONG week with my son, Ethan, being sick all week and waking up all night and my daughter at 6 AM every morning.
But, as a Dad, I have to walk the talk and represent for my family.
So I cranked an old school power-bodybuilding routine out in 25 minutes, and it reminded me of those days in my Dad’s garage when all I owned was a barbell, a set of 50 & 100 lb dumbbells and a gun rack got squatting or racking weights at waist height.
Here’s what I cranked..
1) run the rack standing dumbbell military press: 15 x 5, 25 x 3, 35 x 3, 45 x 3, 60 x 2, 70 x 2, 85 x 2, 90 x 2 (rest 15 sec. between sets)
2) Barbell High Pull x 3 reps ea. set: 135, 185, 205 for 3 sets : changed the weight and did the next set
3) Barbell Clean & Press x 1 rep ea. set: 135, 185, 205
4) DB side raises drop sets: 35 x 8, 25 x 8
5) Bent Over DB raise drop sets: 40 x 8, 25 x 8
6) DB Hammer Curls drop sets: 85 x 5, 45 x 6, 35 x 7
Quick and brutal. Felt like a million bucks when I was done!
Tell us about your favorite power-bodybuilding workout. You know, the ones that pack on muscle and strength faster than any of those fancy, gimmicky, super gadget workouts.
Looking forward to seeing what you got!
Kill it!

PS: I picked up HUNDREDS of pounds of vintage weights today! They need some cleaning up but man are they a thing of beauty!
PPS: I also video toured this dude’s vintage basement gym for you, and one of his York Blobs was just purchased by The Grip King himself, Richard Sorin, to be shipped down his way Monday. Amazing stuff I tell you!

No talking, just training.
Old school….Physical culture style here…
rope climbs…
ring training…..
That shit makes you strong….
The rope climbs are sick for upper body strength and Grip Strength.
The next show will get out of control….
just wait and see….
if you’re easily offended, you might wanna wait a few days till you catch some new footage when the Rage has disappeared.
Kill it!

PS: I interviewed ‘The Grip King’ Here. Old school strength at its best.
PPS: Underground meets Powerlifting. I haven’t even promoted this and the seats are starting to fill up. But who says you’ll be sitting down, you just might be moving some heavy iron instead 
PPPS: Kill It Marketing Seminar closes the doors to registration Wednesday night. If you wanna kill this so called “recession” you better do something about it. I’ll show you the way, you just gotta get there. Click HERE for details.
