Hey Bruddahs and Ladies… Thanks for stopping by again, I LOVE it when you visit 
Below is a workout I cranked with “General Chow”, a D1 collegiate wrestler.
The pace was not as furious as normal, and, please forgive my new movie making skills as I JUST STARTED working the Hollywood skills on my MAC
Check the Video and then read on….
In a nut shell, here is the run down of our combat conditioning workout:
1) Bench Press – worked up to 2 heavy sets
** Followed the Bench Press with 3 sets of Close Grip Benching x Max Reps
2) Rope Climbing – 5 sets performed in “I Go – You Go” Fashion. Held the L Seat position to strengthen the core and hips… wait, your hips are your core!!!
3) Grappler Pressing – Performed in see saw and push press style for 3 hard sets in the 10-15 rep range.
4) Superset for 2 rounds, NON Stop: Chins & Dips x Max Reps
At the end of the night I finished with grip and ab work.
General Chow used to read my training newsletters back when he was a high school freshman, stealing cinder blocks and cement bags to train as a high school wrestler in the good ol’ Dirty Jerzee.
He would also have his younger bro hop on his back and sprint hills with his “Human Weighted Back Pack”.
In September of his Senior Year, General Chow began training at The Underground Garage, and that year he only had 2 losses and placed 7th in the NJ State Wrestling Championships. Those 2 losses came in the state tournament.
Pretty damn good
Now, I fear General Chow, so I wouldn’t mess with him, and, this is my goal for all my athletes and for you:
I want YOU to become a Bad Ass and put fear into me and anyone who gets in your way.
Got a comment on the Video or General Chow’s story? Drop it below
Peace!

Watch this Video….and then read on my bruddahs….
Well, what can I say.
I’m STILL buzzin from what happened yesterday at The Underground Strength Gym in Edison, NJ.
Yesterday, The Blair Academy Wrestling Team took the 1 hr drive south, and arrived at The Underground Strength Gym at 3:22 PM.
Next week, the other half of The Blair Wrecking Crew will make the trek.
3 Cars rolled up.
Gladiators…ALL of them. Every single last 1 of them, straight up Gladiators.
We shook hands as they entered, a few used the rest room, the others started pummeling and moving their bodies around, prepping to go to War.
The music was pumpin….
Eminem
Metallica
Old School Van Halen (David Lee Roth!!)
Every single one of them had the eye of the tiger.
Have you ever been in a room where EVERYONE had the eye of the tiger?
I’ve seen rooms with a lot of motivated kids, but NEVER ALL OF THEM.
The workout itself was an all out battle….war….they fought for every inch of iron they pushed and pulled yesterday.
Every inch of movement they pushed their body through….pulling, pushing, sprinting…..
We had these Gladiators Ripping sandbags off the ground, onto their shoulders, over their heads….
These 12 Gladiators went through a hellish workout….together….
They never backed down….NEVER!
Not one of them showed signs of pain in the face, because if they did, they KNEW that it was a sign of weakness.
Some of these Gladiators were only 14 or 15 years young. But damn were they f**ing tough!
Physical toughness MUST be preceded by mental toughness. You MUST train your mind to endure pain beyond YOUR norms.
Coach Buxton has trained them, not just physically, but mentally.
The training they experience together has made them tougher individually AND as a team.
They have fought for ALL their inches, together.
On the mat AND off the mat you are supposed to fight for every inch….if you don’t fight for every inch, you miss out on opportunity.
Opportunity does NOT come to those who wait.
You make your own opportunities. PERIOD!
Some of you may or may not know, but I went through a lot of hell in my life…emotionally and physically.
I fought through depression in my teens and ever since the age of 13 I pushed myself through hellish workouts.
Not until the age of 18 did I finally escape the chains of my depression.
Still, I had MORE battles to fight through….hard fought battles….inch by inch.
The battles and pain eventually led me to the surgery table, and on that very day, before going under the blade, I vowed to do my absolute best to stop other combat athletes from the world around, to NOT experience all the physical and emotional pain I experienced. MY MISSION then & there was brought to light.
Today, my mission is Underground Strength Nation – I LOVE seeing the transformation people go through mentally AND physically through old school training and physical culture type workouts. It is a life changer.
I’ve received countless e mails on this, and many touch me deeply and bring tears to my eyes…. I’ve even had e mails and voice mails to my gym on how Underground Strength has saved them from suicide because they now had their OWN MISSION.
This mission led me to the intense studies of training combat athletes. It has led me to intensity in ALL I do, very much like Ultimate Warrior says, “Intensity for Life!”
Unfortunately, for me, I had to lose….I had to lose A LOT.
I’m not talking the loss of things like money, cars, clothes.
I’m talking about losing years of my life…
During my depression, it was like a dead man walking.
I wasn’t LIVING.
So you see bruddahs, this is why much of my videos, training and everything you see me doing here on the Blog is SOOOOO MUCH MORE than just fitness, lifting, working out, pushing iron…..
It’s about LIVING…and living life to the fullest!
My goal is NOT to just help you become a Bad Mother F**er physically, but also mentally….and, to be able to live your life by your own rules, and to achieve the success you have ALWAYS wanted.
No more dreaming of this or that, it’s ALL about living your dreams.
My Underground Strength Cert – NOT about training methods alone and that’s all…
Training methods alone will not create an AWESOME business…..
Instead, it’s about the mind power secrets I use, the motivation behind my hustle and how you can use it to your advantage, it’s about going for your dreams and NEVER giving up or backing down when you go for your dreams.
I’m willing to fight for every inch to achieve my dreams.
My mind has never been more powerful, as I have learned to cultivate my mind power and turn my mind into a deadly weapon, allowing me to WIN at EVERYTHING I do.
I’ll be revealing these methods soon
Maybe you know all there is to know about life, going through hell, fighting for every inch and the harnessing the power of the mind.
I don’t know everything…I have much to learn!
But, this is exactly why I succeed, because I constantly seek out anything and everything I can to educate me AND fire me up.
Some people are too lazy…..
Too lazy to fight for every inch….
Too lazy to educate themselves….
Too lazy to seek new information to fire them up…..
I am NOT too lazy….
I understand that every piece of knowledge I acquire, it is like gaining another inch….
Because…..those inches that I gain…and you gain, are exactly what allows you to WIN in life.
The Gladiators of Blair Academy understand all about inches.
I understand the inches game.
Do you understand and, are you WILLING to fight for those inches?
Drop a comment and let me know.
Peace.
