This is round 1 of a 5 round circuit. Check the video below…..
That was not an easy workout headed by Uncle Mike Stehle and The Milkman (Both Beasts pictured below).
Uncle Mike
Stehle of course had his favorite pasttime blaring loud to keep us amped up, Social D all the way baby!. These are just SOME of the perks of running your own biz, you don’t have to be subjected to the punishment of sappy love tunes and other fitness bunnies talking on their cell phones while you try to push through your set of heavy squats or kettlebell snatches.
Wait! Most “normal” gyms don’t even have Kettlebells, and if they do, you can bet they are using some SCARY technique!
Now, getting back to the workout that kicked my ass….
I rarely, if ever, train in such a manner, with all these circuits and timed rounds for metabolic conditioning.
But you know the old saying, right?
If you suck at it – that’s probably the workout you SHOULD be doing!
Uncle Mike and the Milkman usually hit 3 metabolic conditioning workouts each week and 2 strength and power endurance workouts each week.
Next time I head down there I’ll be redeeming myself and showing up for a strength and power focused day, ha ha ha ha!
Here’s the exact workout we did that day. Give it a shot and post your comments below to share how you did and how you felt. If you own a gym, unleash this bad boy on your clients and show them some Jersey LOVE!
For 5 rounds.
Perform each exercise for 30 seconds work / 15 seconds rest.
After you complete 1 round, rest 1 minute and repeat.
1) Battling Ropes
2) 2 Hand Kettlebell Swings
3) Prowler Push (High & Low)
4) 2 Hand Kettlebell Hi-Pull
5) Air Dyne Bike
6) Burpee Pull Ups
If you don’t have an air dyne bike you can hit the Battling Ropes for another round.
I gotta tell ya, Milk Man & Uncle Mike Stehle impressed me BIG time. These guys are in serious shape and strong as heck to boot! You may have noticed me straightening out Paul Reddick on the hi-pulls 
So, you have 2 Options:
1) Perform the Jersey Shore Challenge as described and post your comments below….
OR
2) Tell us about a time YOU got your ass kicked from a workout. Make sure you post the details of the workout.
Preferably, I wanna see you rock out The Jersey Shore Challenge because your last ass kicking may have been YEARS ago. Sometimes we all need a GOOD ass kickin.
I am PSYCHED to read your comments and responses!
So get busy!
Peace!

PS: A few spots are left for The July 18-19 Underground Strength Gym License. Wanna run a gym like mine or like the Milkman and Uncle Mike? You can even run your little Underground Strength Gym part time, on the side of your full time gig, and STILL kick ass doing so! More Info HERE (Click ME NOW)!

Check out this highlight of what happens when I am short on time and a bunch of Strong BEASTS roll up to The Underground Strength Gym…
Note the use of the HEAVY dumbbells, 130 – 150 lbs, ripping them off the ground for full body strength and power.
Lots and lots of weighted pull ups with mixed grips to hit the upper body from ALL angles!
People think short workouts don’t do much, I always change their mind once they train WITH me.
I say the same to the Coaches who go through my USC Certification…..
I tell them to always Live the Code, represent what we do and NEVER fall out of shape…. it can be done with fast workouts if that’s all you got. And trust me, we ALL get one of those times in life when we are crammed for time, NOT to worry.
If someone tries my short workouts and say they didn’t feel it, I know they trained like a pussy. #TRUTH
If you are busy as all hell and wanna stay strong, lean and mean, then step right up for the challenge
Train Hard or Not At All

PS: Those were competitive strongmen going through the workout and they got blasted from it! We ALL got blasted because we went after it, full throttle.
PPS: This entire Underground Workout is available at The Underground Inner Circle - 30 day trial

Rules?
What rules?
F**K the rules!
Sometimes you gotta throw good ol’ science out the window and go with your gut instincts.
For me, that means heavy training, having Fun, and Heavy training
At 33 years young, after 20 years in the iron game, I am STILL learning and man do I feel like there are times when I have just started in te iron game because of how much I learn.
Keep your mind open and fear not the road less traveled.
Kill it!

Typical gyms and health clubs suck pretty badly nowadays.
It’s almost impossible to find a hard core facility where they allow “No Rules” Training.
Watch the video closely as I talk to you about power racks, thick bars, grip training, sandbag training and everything else you need…
Check out this vid on how to build your own Underground Strength Gym….

The gym is the place where I lose myself and find myself.
It’s MY place.
You can’t steal my thunder here, it’s f**ing imposisble!
I want and go after it.
I KILL it when I train, period!
No matter what else is going on in this world and in my life, in the gym, everything goes right.
Rusty iron feels best in my hands.
Sandbags and stones show love as well.
Time to kill….and this is only the beginning.
I got some FIRE inside of me and it’s time to unleash.
NOT for kids….
Tell me what the rusty iron does for you.
How has Underground changed your life?
Kill it!

I’m looking for a hard working, open minded, eager to learn intern at my gym, in edison, nj.
The internship will last 8 weeks, unpaid.
You WILL get the experience of a lifetime though, I can guarantee that.
Be ready to learn a boat load, and, you will be training WITH our athletes.

Your hands will get dirty, rusty and possibly bloody.
I’m a crazy guy to work for, I have high expectations from people.
I hate lazy, I mean…I HATE lazy.
Be on time, all the time.
Be a person of your word.
There is a possibility of being employed here as a Coach after the intern. this is is not definite though.
If you don’t live up to your word or my expectations, you may not make it through the entire internship.
We are open from 5 – 8 pm week days, sometimes open at 4 pm.
I would expect 3 days minimum from you if you are accepted.
This is for male or female. I don’t discriminate on sex, I discriminate on laziness and poor manners / attitude.

Looking forward to killing it with you

Yesterday, we had a high school Football player pop in, asking about training. The H3 he pulled up in looked familiar, so i asked if he was related to a certain someone who trained at The Underground Strength Gym… for 2 days.
His older brother, had his Mom pay for the training for a month. After 2 workouts he disappeared…no phone calls returned….no e mails returned.
I was pissed off that a young kid wasted his Mom’s hard earned money and thought nothing of it.
With his brother wanting in, I gave him the “speech”, and he was feeling that I wasn’t taking any shit or anything less than 150%.
We scheduled a trial and he went on his way, excited to come back Friday for some torture, errr, training, where we test the will to be in the program and commit himself.
Shortly after, I got to my own training. A very intense collegiate Football crew just finished their workout and they were hanging out afterwards. Mixed in with the group was Judo Beast, David Ellis.
I realized that The Underground Strength Gym was more than just a place to train. It is a place where younger athletes can surround themselves with highly motivated, well mannered athletes of similar interest.
For some, this is where they HAVE to be. A place where we shape them into kids who go in the right direction, as opposed to becoming thugs, lazy asses, disrespectful and the like.
I have a lot of work to do, it’s becoming much, much more than just training athletes. We’re changing lives here.
Back to work!
Kill it!

When I was 13 I started getting heavily into bodybuilding.
But what impacted me most was the info found in the original, Arnold Schwarzenneger Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. In this HUGE book were tons and tons of black and white photos of the rugged bodybuilders from the 50′s – 70′s.
These guys were more like what I call a “power-bodybuilder”.
They hit heavy deadlifts, heavy olympic lifts, heavy powerlifts, heavy cheat curls, HEAVY EVERYTHING.
They developed incredibly rugged, rock hard physiques and man did they motivate me to do the same!
These photos made me feel like I was living during the Golden Era, training with the crew at Gold’s Venice and on Muscle Beach.
I would watch Pumping Iron over and over again, and on weekends I would have my Dad drive me to see other gyms in the area as I dreamt of owning my own gym one day.
I wanted a hardcore gym, a dungeon like faciluty where everyone busted their ass and sweated buckets to achieve their goals.
I wanted a gym where everyone understood their purpose, and that was to train your ass off, surround yourself with other highly motivated beasts and to WIN!
Well, whaddya know…. dreams become reality and I own my own hardcore facility. Just as I envisioned.
I believed, I had the guts to make it happen and I took massive action – these are 3 keys to success.
If you want something to happen badly enough, ask yourself if you have followed the 3 steps above.
If not, how about NOW would be a great time?
In Strength,
–Coach Z–
P.S. – Wanna see what kick started my gym and my business? It allowed me to open up a kick ass gym with barely any investment, while others are out spending tens of thousands and paying loans, I owe not one dime to anyone and continue to kick ass. I am showing the world how I do it, get started HERE.
P.P.S. – Stay tuned, I’ll be announcing the next USC Certification course, very likely to be in November!

No fancy chair for me, no pretty desk to hide behind, only the challenge to lead from the front.
Is it really a challenge, or, is it a choice?
ONLY You decide!
In Strength,
–Z–
P.S. - This style of training is not for everyone. The psyche certainly pushed everyone harder, as we competed against one another. Technique loosened up a bit and insanity certainly jumped up more than a few nothces.
It’s time you began taking part in the Underground movement. Do it here: The Underground Strength Course
