Sometimes I get to train at home, other times I get to train before my athletes roll in, other times I get to train at the end of the night AFTER a long day of working.
NO excuses, get it done and don’t call it a day till you crank a workout in some form. #Commitment
If you ever find your motivation wading or you need a swift kick in the ass then watch this video. You’ll quickly be reminded that a quick Underground Style workout is nowhere near as tough as what goes on in this video.
By the way, I recently saw the movie, ‘Act of Valor’. HOLY S**T that movie was AWESOME. A MUST watch for all of Underground Strength Nation.
Check the movie trailer below:

It’s the year 2011 and I NEVER make New Year’s Resolutions, I ALWAYS resolve to do things NOW. I’m an action oriented guy, waiting for the perfect time does nothing.
But, ONE thing I am careful with is who I contribute my work to and who I associate myself with.
The lack of integrity that I have come across has bothered me, and NO, I will not harp on it, this is just me giving a rant that for those who read my blog, I hope you continue to live your life with passion and integrity.
Feel free to drop comments below.
In Strength,

I am a highly motivated Coach. I feel this is a fault, perhaps not though? You can comment below and drop your thoughts as my mind wanders too much. I find myself louder, more aggressive and more intense than 99.9% of my athletes. I want them to train harder, rest less, move heavier weights.
I sometimes wonder why I am so loud and excited and they seem so quiet. I try to calm down and let them take the wheel. I wait to see if they will have intrinsic motivation. A few are animals and show the eye of the tiger, others seem to be searching for that inner animal. Perhaps it just isn’t there?
Here and there a parent tells me they will no longer have little Johnny continue training at The Underground Strength Gym due to finances yet little Johnny has a Lexus or an Infiniti at the age of 17. He doesn’t have a job either. Finances? Naaaaaa. Different priorities? Yes.
If finances are a problem and you’re a young lad go get a job and help Mom and Dad, NOT for gym membership, but because it’s the RIGHT thing to do. If you don’t want to be a kick ass athlete and don’t enjoy a brutally challenging workout we don’t want you here anyway.
Other times they say Little Johnny is too busy. Too busy to train 1 or 2 hours each week? I am confused. What does Little Johnny do after school? Is there really 6 hours of homework every day?
At The Underground Strength Gym, we are not training to fit in with others and to become part of Team Average. Sorry, we’re here to be front and center of Team Ass Kicker. Period. Need I explain any further?
The world has enough lazy excuse makers but The Underground doesn’t have room for ONE such athlete who doesn’t demand excellence of himself.
Watch the video below and ask yourself if you too have such desire.
Notice the Coach did NOT make any special treatments for the aspiring boxer. The boxer had to pay for his coaching as do all other students. The boxer had to work for his money. The boxer was clearly comfortable being UNcomfortable.
And, let me tell you a little secret. You need to learn how to get comfortable being uncomfortable. If you wanna succeed in this world, let me cut through the hype and BS of everything happening fast and easy. Sorry, the things worth anything nowadays require some serious gut busting work. That’s THE truth.
And that’s your Monday Motivation.
Peace!

PS: Running your own garage or warehouse gym is NOT easy. It takes serious work to grow your business. If you’re ready to learn, I will teach you, time waits for no man or woman….

I get tons of questions EVERY DAY via e mail, facebook, my blog comments, at seminars…. everywhere.
Most people are full of sh*t. They talk a BIG game yet do little or nothing to back up their words.
I also get requests for business coaching and training at my gym. Those who follow through after they “Talk” are far and few between.
Athletes ask me to train at my Underground Strength Gym, then I get a follow up e mail from their Mom / Dad saying it’s too expensive. I ask if their son has a job, 99.9% of the time, they have NO job. Neither do they have the desire to GET a job to help their parents to make this opportunity happen.
Just another talker.
Aspiring Strength Coaches e mail me or message me through facebook or see me at seminars. They talk about how hungry they are for success, tell me they want to attend my Underground Strength Coach Cert or invest in Coaching.
They don’t follow through. Just Another Talker.
College athletes tell me they want to be All American or a National Champ…. they show up for a few weeks and disappear.
Just Another Talker.
What you WANT and what you DO MUST be in alignment if you want to achieve Abnormal success. Do what everyone else does and you are normal. You need to do what others are NOT willing to do.
Normal actions = Normal success.
Just another talker.
I’ve done A LOT to create my success and I ain’t stoppin’. I stay up late, wake up early, go the extra distance, sweat more, work harder, run faster, push through brick walls and keep charging.
NO Excuses.
Pay attention to the video below, watch it 10 times and let it sink in.
The only thing holding you back is YOU and the circumstances YOU have created for yourself. Period.
Lead from the FRONT

********
Before I prepare to feed the little man (my wife fell asleep in my daughter’s bed! uh oh, no help!!) I wanted to ask you a question.
I have received many e mails the past few months inquiring about people wanting to visit to learn my training methods and some want to learn training AND business.
If you want to do this, let me know by replying to this e mail. I will be taking on a select few “apprentices” to learn my methods.
This is not the Underground Strength Coach Certification Program.
This is you shadowing me in my gym, asking me anything you want, training with our athletes, opening my filing cabinets, seeing how I run the show, grabbing grub with me to talk business and learn how we kick ass, going all the way from a puny garage and beat up playgrounds to a thriving online business and ass kicking gym….
in the end, it’s about doing what you love.
Next week I am having lunch with someone which I invested in…how much? Five BIG G’s
I invest because I know I’ll make it back ten fold in the first month and beyond after that.
Someone once if I would pay five grand for a napkin that could show me how to make 10 grand. The answer is a “hells yea!”
So, maybe you wanna spend one day with me, maybe two, maybe 3…
As always, I will screen those who wanna come and learn. It’s not for everyone obviously. Complainers, cry babies, whiners, excuse makers…. no way, I want someone ready to blaze a trail of their own, someone who wants to follow their passion, someone who wants to rock the house.
In Strength,
