Back in the day when my garage, backyard & playgrounds were OUR training grounds…….
One of my most popular training courses sparked a TON of controversy when it was released. I remember like yesterday, people e mailing me about negative words being said about me.
These were BIG name Coaches shouting angry remarks from around the world, I kid you not.
At the time, I was training athletes from my garage gym, my backyard & at the local elementary school field. The kicker was that our athletes were crushing their competition.

MANY people loved my article on The Pussification of America. MANY also complained about it.
Here is 101 seconds of TRUTH from one of the baddest BJJ fighters in the world, Dustin Denes, his origins come from wrestling.
If you are sensitive or under 18 this video is NOT for you.
Daaaaaaamn!!!
Seek & Destroy….. Go Hard or Go Home….
The training program that needs to be administered to eliminate The Pussification of America is HERE.
But, I’ve learned that what I do and the way I train is NOT for everyone. Not everyone wants to push the envelope, challenge their mind and body….
Perhaps you want to dig deeper and go beyond your normal “limits”? Perhaps not. I’m confused by the countless many who are satisfied with average in all they do.
Average sucks and gets you nowhere. That’s the TRUTH.
Don’t guess about what to do, challenge yourself and Man the F**K UP. Training in your cozy, posh environment is where losers hang out.
If you’re a whiner, cry baby or complainer, what goes on HERE is NOT for you.
Peace!

PS: Not everyone understands my theory of “Get comfortable being UNcomfortable.”
Those who train like this are also those who create BIG success in their life, not just the physical. The mental toughness built from these workouts is what it’s about. Do It!

Above, Jesse, before The Underground and 2 months after.
Below, a compilation of Jesse’s progress through the months at The Underground Strength Gym.
Tales of an unlikely BEAST…..
Dude shows up at The Underground looking to prepare for his future…. classified shiz, NO joke.
Former collegiate fencer, pissed off at his physical abilities, motivated like hell to become a BEAST.
He changes hit nutrition, gets rid of the crappy carbs and chows down on loads of fruits, veggies, trail mix and various meats.
Trains 3 x week, fighting through his first few weeks of nausea and shock, he pushes, going neck to neck with high school kids hunting for state wrestling titles and respect on The Gridiron, he begins to pass them on strength and conditioning.
9 months in at The Underground, we now see a completely changed man, inside & out, the video above doesn’t come close to doing justice for this man’s strength, speed and conditioning.
He’s f**ing relentless!
Time to Man the F**K UP!
BEAST Mode.
Questions or comments, feel free to drop em’!
In Strength,

At The Underground Strength Gym we train athletes ranging in age from 11 years old through college and sometimes beyond college (if they still have the eye of the tiger).
With my focus being on the training of wrestlers, I often times get a lot of e mails from a concerned parent who is confused as to when they can begin “training”. To the typical parent, they view training as doing things such as back squats, deadlifts, bench press, curls, etc.
For the parents who take my advice, such as what I give in the video below, their child ALWAYS ends up becoming a better athlete. Pay attention and spread the word. Our young athletes of today are the potential superstar athletes of tomorrow.

Years ago, I was lucky enough to come across a College Strength & Conditioning Coach who I related to very much.
His psychological and physical ways of training made sense to me BIG time, perhaps because we were both wrestlers.
But, this guy, was PURE Gladiator!
No 2 ways about it, he was a Bad MoFo.
His own training began in elementary school where he would go out and run 5 miles on his own, without a Coach telling him to do so.
In middle school he wanted to wrestle, so the high school wrestling coach told him
he had to wait till high school.
But, what to do until high school he asked?
His Coach told him to do push ups.
How many push ups?
No one ever told him how many, so he decided 500 a day would be the number!
He scattered the push ups throughout his day.
He would use the OLD webbing grip tools to work his hand strength.
I haven’t seen those in a WHILE!
He even did 500 push ups the morning he won the high school state championships.
The Russians had their olympic athletes play full blown soccer games the night before their Gold Medal Volleyball match.
I can go on and on with stories of his man.
But, let me tell you, every time I get the rare opportunity to connect with him, I shut my mouth and listen.
His methods and stories always give me heavy dity ammunition to use for my own training and my athletes.
Listen to him talk, along with the other greats that will inspire you, educate you and open up your mind to an entirely new world of training in The Underground Strength System.

When I first began trianing my dungeon garage my only rule was, “There are NO Rules.”
I was tired of being confined to routine and rules when I was training in a commercial gym setting.
I have learned that there is no 1 tool or 1 way to make things happen – there are many ways.
On the flip side, there are ways that are much better than others.
But if all you do is follow the rules, you will not exceed your boundaries or the limitations people tell you about.
Break the rules and start kicking ass. Check the video below and you’ll see a variety of training happening at The Underground Strength Gym.
You see athletes climbing rope, jumping rope, tossing around Russian Kettlebells, performing Bodyweight exercises, olympic lifting with dumbbells and more.
Check out the workout our college crew went through that day (There were a few Strength Coaches on hand getting a taste of the Underground as they were about to go through an intensive day of Underground Business Marketing to prep them to open their own Gym):
1) 1 Arm Dumbbell Snatch – Push Press Combo 5 x 3 – 5 reps
2A) 1 arm Kettlebell Floor Press 4 x 5 – 10 reps
2B) Mixed Grip Chin Ups 4 x max reps
3A) Thick Bar Cheat Curls 2 x 6 – 10 reps
3B) Tate Presses on Floor 2 x 10 – 15 reps
4) Sled / Prowler Conditioning 4 x 200′
5) Grip & Ab work 4 x each
Give the workout a go and let me know your thoughts.
If you want a full 12 months of Beast Workouts, you better check out The Underground Strength System HERE - it’s the REAL Deal.
Make it happen!

You hear that tune in the background of this video?
Watch the video and read on, I’m gonna tell you about a dream and how you can achieve your dreams as well, but first, let go of your fear….
Can you FEEL the energy from that video or what baby!?!?!
That was the latest Underground Strength Coach Certification and it rocked the freakin house SON!
Now, onto that story I was gonna tell you about…
It sounds corny, but hang tight with me, it’s the truth.
When I was 11 or 12, before I even started lifting weights, my older brother was HUGE into working out. His entire bedroom had barbells and dumbbells, you know the fancy ones with the spin collars??

Sometimes I get a bit fed up with things and I just dont wanna keep my mouth shut.
Let’s talk training, which all of us should be here for, and, if you’re a fitness professional, pay attention to 2 resources I’m gonna hook you up with.
TRAINING:
I have received, no lie, a good 30 e mails and near 10 phone calls to my gym from a supposed “hard gainer”
He is always asking about the exact sets, reps and specific program he should follow.
He told me he has followed near 30 programs.
He has access to the internet, which, is loaded with so much information, much of it misinformation, that he is confused as all hell.
The dudes from the mid 90′s and prior to had no internet and they got plenty strong, ripped and jacked.
I don’t believe in this hard gainer bull sh&t.
It’s called doing the wrong thing or not doing what must be done.
It’s called hard work.
Get the job done, in and out…
- basics rule
- always try to get stronger
- eat like a mack truck
- eat clean, you know the difference between healthy and crap
He was following so many different workouts and never gave 1 of them a chance to work
If all he did was squat, bench and deadlift every other, always trying to get stronger, he would see powerful results.
Instead he wants to know if he should do the incline bench instead of flat bench, what about biceps, what about calves
F*&k the rules, train hard, period.
When you’re tired of the BS out there, go basic and kill it with http://UndergroundStrengthManual.com – see all the success stories on that page and you’ll see what I’m talking about 
****
Now, if you’re a Fitness Professional….
While 99% of your “competition” sits on the fence waiting for the economy to “get better”, you will NOT wait, you will put the pedal to the medal, go full throttle, invest in yourself and
take more action than ever before.
Get your word out, hustle and kill it.
Stop crying, whining and complaining about the economy and make it happen!
This is what I teach those who take massive action and attend my Underground Strength Coach Certification.
Only those with a die hard passion to succeed should attend:
