Damn!
Remember my poem from good ol’ Diamond Gym that hung above the rusty squat rack right next to an old school, black and white photo of Tom Platz squatting 500+ lbs?
“There are those that do
and those that don’t
Those that will
and those that won’t”
Well, check out this e mail I just received from David Lee, The REAL World Strength Coach …..
“YO BRUDDA sorry i missed the event last week but it looks like it was crazy!!!!!!!
Got to get back to the Underground NO EXCUSES!!!!!
But I’m really checking in to say THANK YOU again! Finding your site and taking the certification is one of the best things that’s has every happened to me besides meeting my wife!
You have no idea how my life is changing by following your example!
2009 is going to be a big year I am not sitting back I am jumping at opportunities and making stuff happen!
I just got done last night meeting with 45 or so women and 2 men who are on 3 different dragon boat teams and I am going to be their off season trainer now that they want REAL WORLD STRENGTH and I’m going to give it to them 100% see I’m getting fired up over here!
You would not have known this Z but I am a terrible public speaker, I get nervous, my hands shake, I stutter and have butterfly’s in my stomach and I was freaking out about this presentation last night but guess what… getting up there and talking about training, something I love and have so much passion for, I, in the words of a great man, KILLED IT!!!!!
Big time bro! I mean I rocked it! I had them all laughing and getting up and trying out the kettlebells and asking all types of questions and the lady who got me to speak to them who thought I might be good for some of them said that we may get a few to sign up around 10 or so as 1 of the teams is a 50 and over cancer survivor team and they might be nervous to jump onto the program.
At the end of the presentation she asked how many people were interested and almost everyone in the room raised their hand! I was overwhelmed! We are going to have to find more time and space @ their location to handle it!!!!!
I am also almost finished with the conversion of my 2 car garage over into my own little strength layer, one of my guys called it the black box cause I just painted the walls all black, once you are in the box, “NOW YOUS CANT LEAVE”!
Big things are happening, I am just getting out there and hustling, hustling hard and making things happen.
Thank You again Z. If not finding you this passion and fire may have layed dormant inside of me but I say WATCH OUT world cause here I come and I am going to help as many people as I can!”
**********
Wow! My homeboy David Lee is a perfect example of what happens when you follow your passion with a precise action plan and take massive action to make it happen.

More holiday fun at The Underground.
The athletes loved the strength gathering and at the end of the day I headed home to the family and the crew headed out to eat up some BIG Grub. Good for them, they deserve it and it’s just like the guys did during the Golden Era.
Train together, eat together and then hang out together.
The bond is critical. The Underground is a family, not just a gym.
Check out my stone lift, gotta walk the walk!
Stones, anvils and…..
there’s more to come…
stay tuned for part 2!
Kill it!

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?

First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!
I gotta haul ass and help get the kids ready since we’re taking a 2 hr trip north to Pa. at my wife’s Aunt & Uncle. Oughtta be some crazy times and I may even get to watch some Football!
My wife’s Aunt makes a mean peanut butter – hershey kiss cookie, ever have them, they kill! ha ha
As mentioned about 6 weeks ago, I spread word about an Underground Pull Up Contest.
I’ve seen some vids from our friends here ranging from 32 all the way to 50.
Who got 50? Mike Guadango from Joe DeFranco’s Gym – the kid is a beast and a hell of a Baseball player!
Mike Rojas, owner of Strong 101 Gym, part of the first ever certified USC Coaches, out in So Cal – the dude loves strength and has a killer set up, just opened a few months ago!
Below you’ll see my vid and some thoughts on pull ups in general.
Pull Ups should be eaten for breakfast in my opinion.
Men under 200 lbs should be able to hit 20 reps minimum.
Why aren’t there enough varisty athletes even able to hit 10 reps?
This pisses me off and there is too much time spent on the bench press and not enough squats, deadlifts, pull ups and the like.
Reply with a link to your Underground Pull Up Video and tell me your thoughts on the state of pull ups amongst others.
Have the best Thanksgiving ever!
I am grateful that you read my articles, watch my blog and believe in what I do.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart, I live for this stuff!
Kill it!
–Coach Z–
PS: Last year, on Thanksgiving, I had pneumonia! I was sitting on the couch wiped out with fever and chills. I am grateful for my health because without our health, we have Nothing!
