164 | How to Harness The Power of Your Mind to Achieve More Success
I'm returning home from an amazing trip to Vermont to help with our annual Spartan Wrestling Camp but this was also the FIRST time I took my son with me to Vermont. Simply going to Vermont to meet and work with Joe DeSena sends me into a mode of stepping up ALL my training, nutrition and lifestyle. I know that Joe will always throw a monkey wrench into what we're doing. For my son, I wanted him to experience the outdoors, the beauty and power of hiking the mountain and to escape from … [Read more...]

3 STRONG Life Success Tips & Why Successful People Are Considered “Crazy”
Since my youngest years, I can consistently recall how anyone achieving anything at a higher level than "normal" was called "crazy", as if achieving success and fighting the urge to fall in line with mediocrity was a bad thing. At The Underground Strength Gym, the athletes constantly tell me how their friends call them crazy and always try to talk them out of training with us. Their friends say things like, "Dude, just train at the high school weight room, it's the same stuff". This is why I … [Read more...]
28 Years of Lifting: Strength Training In Your 40s & Training As You Get Older
This is the article I dreaded ever having to write; "Training as you get older" or "Training in your 40s". Before I move forward, understand, these are my experiences. My experiences don't make anything universal or the end all, be all laws. Other guys my age might have a different training experience under their belt and in turn, they don't have the same mindset or physical experiences. Back up almost 30 years and I began training in June 1989, some 2 weeks before 8th grade ended. I was … [Read more...]

5 STRONG Life Tips | Everyday Is a Struggle, But, The Struggle IS The Gift
The internet is a funny place. People don't see your entire life so they generalize your life according to what they see on your Instagram or YouTube channel. Well guess what, I feel like we are all more similar than we are different. Meaning, we ALL struggle. But, some of us choose to push through the struggle and emerge victorious where others allow the struggle to win the battle and keep them down, be it emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc. I struggle everyday, but I find ways to … [Read more...]
Why I Screwed Up By Motivating Others Who Ultimately Didn’t Change for the Better
Last night I had a solid QnA on my Instagram...... I love the QnAs because I get to answer specific questions rather than guessing what others want me to talk about. Someone asked me how to wake up early on a consistent basis and from there, the other questions got me fired UP to deliver some punches to the face! We're walking around like we're too weak to even figure out how to wake up early, like it's some complicated formula when really, you just gotta WANT something badly enough that … [Read more...]
