OK Dudes, this is for my Bodybuilding Beasts who have asked me countless times how they can combine Underground training with their workouts at the regular gym.
If you are not bodybuilding like a beast and you only do powerlifting, strongman, etc this may not be for you. But who knows, you might decide you need a lil’ change of pace.
To combine the Underground training I do with some serious bodybuilding work is an AWESOME way to pack on muscle and gain serious strength and power.
I talk a lot about my days of training in the garage with only a 300 lb barbell set, a pair of 50 and 100 dumbbells and getting bigger and stronger than ever before. That was NO joke, I felt friggin’ awesome (until the garage dropped to 20 degrees!!) and packed on muscle unlike any other time.
So, here’s what I have for you. My buddy Vince Delmonte created his very own muscle building and nutrition program all on DVD. A lot of people think Vince is a pretty boy bodybuilder, but, I trained with him AND have seen his transformation – this dude trains like a beast and I respect that BIG time.
He might “look pretty” but he gets busy like a Machine on a Mission when he trains. Which is why he transformed himself from skinny bean pole into 210 lb ripped Beast!
He did all this NATURALLY. He is a guy who has REALLY lived what he is revealing to you.
When Vince told me about his project, to be honest, I was in a rut, because I didn’t have anything to help you supplement it with…..until I remembered about a long, lost DVD that I filmed at The Underground Strength Gym and did Nothing with it…until now.
Here’s a 10 Minute highlight of what is on the Behind the Scenes of The Underground DVD:
A Seriously Kick Ass way for you to get the most our of Vince’s program is to combine this Kick Ass DVD with Vince’s training and nutrition. It will be the ultimate blend of training for show AND go.

Check out Part II of my interrogation with Vince DelMonte below..
Vince: What do you mean when you say stuff like, “I’ll help you slap on rugged muscle…”
Zach - Rugged muscles comes from the old school movements that so many people miss out on, especially in these fancy gyms. Look at the bodybuilders from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. They had that rugged, chiseled look that came from an intense focus on the basic lifts with heavy loads. Today’s bodybuilders are puffy and bloated.
Vince:: If I could only train 3-4 x a week for 15 minutes, what would the workout look like?
Zach: Start with a good warm up and then get going with a heavy “core” lift, which simply means a serious compound lift such as the deadlift or the dumbbell clean and press. After a few hard sets in the 3 – 8 rep range, crank out some supersets that are push / pull movements for the upper body or for quads / hamstrings.
So for upper body we could start with the 1 arm dumbbell clean and press, followed by supersets of mixed grip pull ups and weighted push ups non stop for the next 7 – 8 minutes.
Vince: You’re all about getting STRONG STRONG STRONG. Why is this so important? What if I hate lifting heavy weights?
Zach- being strong is a critical way to adding muscle. If you want to add muscle, your muscles must be forced OUT of their comfort zone. You can’t add muscle just with pump weights. If you hate lifting heavy you will not develop that look of a Gladiator, that look of raw power.
In addition, the mental edge it will give you knowing that you are stronger and tougher than the next guy is a BIG plus.
Vince: Quick glimpse of your personal life if you don’t mind – why were you inspired to make Real Man Muscle Building/
Zach: I work a full time job, run a gym and run my internet business. I’m also a husband and a father of two. I MUST represent for my family and children that being a man means being strong, fit, healthy and hard working. I don’t feel “right” if I was the typical weak, soft and flabby Dad. That is embarrassing, plain and simple!
Vince: How your workouts COMPLETELY different than all the other options out there?
Zach: I have removed all the fancy, scientific mumbo jumbo and taken the complications out of these workouts. There are WAY too many overly scientific workout programs that do little to nothing for getting results.
Vince: Who would you disqualify from using your workouts immediately?
Zach: Anyone who doesn’t want to work hard.
Vince: Share some final insights on your philosophy on nutrition and supplements?
Zach: I’m not a big fan of supplements. A great multi vitamin, some extra vitamind C throughout the day and some calcium at night before bed. The rest must come from high quality nutrition. I suggest laying low on milk, breads and dairy. Focus on quality protein from meats and fish and maybe a daily meal replacement shake. 1 salad a day, fruits and veggies scattered throughout the entire day and tons of water.
It looks great on paper, but most people don’t keep their house stocked with enough quality foods, or, they don’t cook in quantity which leads to irrational choices for eating.
Eat 5 meals per day:
1) breakfast
2) lunch
3) mid afternoon meal
4) dinner
5) late evening meal

Man, if there is 1 thing engrained into my DNA, it must be that I LOVE to train hard & heavy.
But, lately, I’ve been straying away from the heavy barbell, rocking the dumbbells, kettlebells and bodyweight a lot more.
I’m feeling healthier, and still strong as a mofo.
It doesn’t make me feel good when my back is so f**ked up that it hurts to change diapers.
As I grow, I evolve.
Does this mean I will never touch a barbell again? Hells NO!
I still use them, but I am finding “other” ways.
Check out the video below…
The complex above is one I sometimes hit, and often times heavier, like 225 – 275.
Lately, the dumbbells and kettlebells have been getting abused by me 
Till the next time, Kill it!

Oh man, this was a funny, funny time.
Vince Delmonte, the master of getting ripped cruised down the the dirty Jerzee and arrived around 11 PM. I took him to good ol’ Clydz for some coffee and then we hit The Underground for an hour of training and filming using my time crunched REAL Man Muscle Building methods.
Check this video….
The clean & press is one of my favorite lifts. I use it for muscle building, strength building, power development and I did these bad boys today as a matter of fact!
I’ve got more videos on this coming soon so stay tuned.
Check out this interview I did for Vince and his readers:
Vince: Tell us how you got into training?
Zach: I used to read bodybuilding magazines before I began lifting. My older brother was a real jock and was always buying the magazines, the weights, the dumbbells, the weider arm blaster…. I was impressed with being HUGE. I used to watch the original Incredible Hulk w/Lou Ferrigno.
I thought I was the Hulk, so I always wore green! I would wear swimmies in the pool because I really thought they were MY muscles! Ha Ha, I guess you can say I was addicted to the iron before I even touched it!
Vince: What were you workouts like in the teen age days and how did you get into competitive bodybuilding?
Zach: These workouts were totally off the wall as I would often train 30 days straight without rest days! I often did 1 body part a day so I could do tons of volume. I would 25 – 30 sets per muscle, NO kidding. It wasn’t odd for me to do squats for max sets for 1 hour, then leg press for max sets for an hour. Or for chest I would do the flat bench, incline bench, incline flys, pec deck flys, cable cross over and then dips, 5 sets of each. These were insane, but I had so much passion for lifting that I believed in “the more the better”.
Competitive Bodybuilding happened after high school and I finished wrestling. I competed my sophomore year in college in a natural show to stop the accusations of me doing steroids. I trained so hard and so often that people accused me of being on drugs. To me, this was passion. I loved the movie ‘Pumping Iron’ and when I saw them training for competition and battling on stage I envisioned this as me!
Vince: How did you transition into the strength and conditioning world as a coach?
Zach: In my mid 20’s I began to get the itch to compete in the combat arena again. So, I began training in jiu jitsu and shoot fighting. I was training like a bodybuilder and still getting beaten by those who skinnier and looked much weaker then me. I wound up tearing my ACL and this fired me up BIG time. I had torn my shoulder 2 years earlier while wrestling, and in high school injured my knee. It made me a bit bitter with the relation between bodybuilding and wrestling / combat sports. So I sought out the best of the best to help me teach others in wrestling and combat sports how to avoid the injuries that I experienced.
Vince: What is your training philosophy for building muscle?
Zach: Train heavy, train hard, use the basic lifts and constantly seek to break records and improve these lifts. Eat tons of clean, high quality food and get tons of rest. Back to basics!
Vince: What are the most important rules you must follow to build steel-solid muscle?
Zach: Never to stray from the basic lifts such as the squat, deadlift, bench press, military press, bent over rows, lunges, dips and pull ups. Get plenty of rest and lots of high quality food.
Vince: You work with lots of teenagers – any specific advice for teens on getting strong and big?
Zach: Don’t overtrain! Train 3 x week using an upper / lower split and focus on getting REALLY strong with the basic lifts.
Don’t just focus on the “beach muscles” – get your legs strong as hell from squats, work your back and every muscle you can’t see in the mirror intensely. These are large muscles that contribute to muscle mass and even hyping the metabolism helping you to burn fat around the clock!
Stay tuned for part II plus another kick ass video!
