If you got my e mail yesterday (if you’re not on my mailing list subscribe at the bottom of this post and get your FREE E Course when you sign up), I spoke about Alex and The Mad Scientist.
In the video below, you’ll hear my lessons learned of why strength isn’t the end all be all factor, some snippets from a new, Underground Speed Training course and 40 year old footage of why even Olympic athletes are using speed training to improve their OTHER specific skills.
Check it Bruddahs & Sistas….
No matter what sport(s) you play or DON”T play, using speed training is highly beneficial and critical for the following reasons:
- overall athleticism is improved dramatically
- great carry over to your strength training
- trains your nervous system to be explosive
- improves joint health and strength
- FUN!
- improves power endurance
- improves overall conditioning
- improves body composition / burns fat
I know that ALex and The Mad Scientist are releasing their Underground Speed Course some time next week.
Right now, they are hooking bruddahs & sistas up with a FREE course and putting them on the priority notification list.
If you snag their course, make sure you forward your receipt my way. I’ll send you a copy of http://GripExperts.com for FREE.
Why Grip Experts? Because the Grip Experts manual is all about developing brute strength, man handling big weights, odd objects and challenging bodyweight drills – combined with your newfound Underground Speed Course, you will combine a blend of brute strength and explosive power that will carry over to any playing field or real world situation.
I don’t promote too much other stuff from other peeps, and if I do, it’s because I truly believe it kicks ass and will help you kick even more ass if you put the info to good use.
Get your FREE Speed course and get on the early notification list HERE.
If you pick up your copy next week, forward your receipt my way and I’ll hook you up with the http://GripExperts.com course.
Peace!

You can run that bad boy out of the back of your trunk, a garage, playground or inside an existing gym. Start running a fitness biz you love AND one that brings in a full time income HERE.

A few of the high school bruddahs needed a lil’ extra motivation so i decided to crank an unannounced pull up contest to win our latest Underground T Shirts.
You’ll see they ALL hit double digits.
What’s more important is that not long ago, some of these kids were only performing 3 pull ups with less than stellar technique.
One of these athletes was not able to perform ONE pull up!
Remember Kids: Eat Your Pull Ups for Breakfast!
Check the vid and drop a comment, show some luv!
I do pull ups every single day I’m at the gym.
What about you, how often do you crank pull ups and why?
Let us know in the comments.
Peace!

PS: Some say I’m a lucky guy b/c I own my gym and do what I love. It has NOTHING to do with luck. I busted my ass and learned the HARD way. I have a system for training and for marketing. It allows me to pull 6 figures from the gym. It started part time, in my garage.
If you want to kick ass more than anything else in this world, then you can do it anywhere. If you’re SERIOUS, I can show you the way Here ==> http://zacheven-esh.com/license.php

Redemption Time.
I just got my ass kicked during the brutal Jersey Shore Challenge.
Pauly Reddick of course verbally abuses me and I used my bread and butter to redeem myself: The Pull Up.
The Peg Board, well, that’s another story.
I tried this when I first got to their gym and it was rough. AFTER the workout, somehow, someway, I got it a bit.
A little practice and I can kick that peg board’s add!
Check it:
Can you count the number of times Paul Reddick calls me son?
Whatcha think of those pull ups and that peg board.
The last few videos you guys have slacked on the comments.
Step that shit up SON. I wanna see 20+ comments on every video.
Share and exchange ideas. Ask questions or just leave a comment.
Bring it SON.

Last week I took a journey 45 minutes south to the beautiful Jersey shore.
My buddy Mike Stehle runs a kick ass training center HERE.
The awesome thing about Mike’s place is not just the set up and the equipment, it’s the atmosphere he creates combined with the ability to train outdoors while breathing in the fresh, ocean air. His gym is literally a few blocks from the beach – it’s VERY powerful to train while breathing in this air and it feels great.
But this time around, it felt more like an ass kicking, a GREAT one at that though 
This was an awesome time and a mix of training and business masterminding – both of which I love to do
Let the journey begin, please your comments below and let me know your thoughts, questions, comments. I’m psyched to hear frm you as always!
Lots of Kettlebells, Lots of bodyweight.
Stay tuned for the next part of our adventure!
Post your comments and questions below.
Peace!

This is the beginning of an upper body workout with some crazy college athletes – the energy is high and the strength is pretty freaky as well.
Note how we hype them up with a few quick sets of plyometrics and medicine ball throws.
Check these bruddahs out…
Before these college athletes ever touched a barbell we needed them to achieve some “benchmarks”.
No need for them to bench if they weren’t demonstrating a foundation of strength to bench press.
Push ups, dips, kettlebell pressing, band training and even pushing movements with a sled.
Once a solid foundation is built, teaching athletes how to bench press is MUCH easier.
What bench marks do you have before someone can bench press?
Post your answers below in the comments section!
Peace Bruddahs!

On a lil covert trip to the hard core Skiba’s Barbell Club in Carteret, NJ, I was lucky to grill Skiba’s long time bruddah, Ray Anderson.
This is part I of a 2 part interview so stay tuned for part II.
Feel free to leave your comments and questions below and check out the critical message I have for you under this video….
Those were some cool toys, eh mate??
I NEVER Coney Island had their own version of the “East Coast Muscle Beach”?!?!
And, Ed Jubinville used to live in my hometown of Edison, NJ! In fact, Ray told me that Ed’s original gym equipment is STILL in some dude’s basement here in Edison, and the stuff hasn’t been used or moved since!
Maybe I’ll be knocking on doors VERY soon to get in an old school workout with Ed Jubinville’s equpment, time to dust it off, he he he

Athletes come to The Underground Strength Gym, more often than not, weaker than a 98 lb weakling, no joke.
My motivation is to get them strong as hell, and while doing so, I need to walk the talk and remain stronger.
You never know what must be done to represent.
On New Years, 1 of my athletes hit a 115 lb pull up weighing 240 lbs, I hit a 106 lb pull up weighing 220.
One of the young guns, a high school sophomore is addicted to The Underground – he wants to train all the time and always does extra work as he awaits his ride home (that is, if he’s not running to the gym).
Let’s see who wins….
Now, EVERY workout Pierce busts out a challenge at me.
Monday he challenged me to pull ups, so, I let him go first. I also added that I would wear a 20 lb chain. I did that for the mind games, ala Muhammad Ali
I hit 15 no problem, Pierce hit 10
Next year he might get me in something, so stay tuned!
Kill it!
