About 15 years ago I was training a bit with a Navy SEAL. He was in Israel at the time, but eventually came to the states.
His training regiment was brutal.
Three days a week he ran a good 10 km or more. My brother would run with him since he was in the military as well, in a unit called “The Cherries”. He told me these were not jogs, but all out races and “Joe” was out to win, every single time.
The other three days Joe would swim a good 30 minutes. Sometimes a pool swim, other times the ocean.
Then, on evenings, Monday – Friday, Joe and I trained together. But, he was always there before me, and always stayed after me.

I was at a coffee shop one day and the guy working there saw my Underground shirt on. He told me he saw us on you tube, heard about us, saw us in the paper.
He told me he was trying out for the nearby minor league Baseball team, but he never made the cut the year before. He was a skinny dude, no doubt, so, I asked him, what are you doing now to change that?

Last night I went to the neighboring downtown with my family as everyone got some ice cream. In case you’re wondering, I skipped the ice cream part 
Don’t worry, I’m still human, I eat ice cream, but I’m on a mission, and that will require doing what others don’t do.
On the way home, about half way there, my wife dropped me off on the side of the road so I could run the rest of the way. This wasn’t your typical jog all the way and do nothing else.
No my friend, this was a brutal workout mixed with many different methods and movements.
First of all, I had to run the first few minutes up a steady incline. I ran instead of jogged, but didn’t sprint all out. I then walked the distance of 2 or 3 houses, dropped and cranked out 10 push ups. The running began again, this time, through the woods behind my old elementary school, jumping over bushes, downed trees, on the side of a hill and finally sprinting through the parking lot.
I jumped up and grabbed the basketball rim and cranked out 5 perfect pull ups.

OK – bring the hate mail
Calisthenics does have its limits. But guess what, so does every other training method and tool out there.

I have been getting a lot of people stopping into the USC Gymnasium inquiring about membership after getting flack for training hard at their own gym.
If you live in the states, you know the gyms I’m talking about, right?
WOW, NYSC and soon to be popular, Retro Fitness. If you want to train like a Gladiator, forget it, you’ll never survive at these posh health clubs.

I am in high speed, insanity mode lately. My energy and creativity has been running wild.
Have you ever felt that sensation?
Maybe it’s the amazing weather that I love so much happening right now…
It’s all getting poured into my Underground web site. I want to over, over, over-deliver to my members because I want people to experience the powerful results I have experienced as well as my clients.
The pie is big enough for EVERYONE. Let me share my methods with You.

I received a call today from someone asking
where the heck to get started with all my training.
I have so many products he was unsure which would best fit
someone trying to get started with my style of training.
This was a great question and we had a few laughs when
he tried to pull one over on me asking if I had something
that would work for a 7’9″ behemoth.
He had me for a second
He also asked if all the people on my site who sent in testimonials were “roided up”. Read more on How to get started with Underground training…

I’m an anti purist when it comes to strength and performance training.
I do not use only one tool or only one method. I am a purist when it comes to training for results though.
I use what works for me and what works for my clients.
I use the olymic lifts, power lifts, old school bodybuilding, gymnastics movements and much, much more.
Today’s workout was a brutal battle of will and physical toughness. You can’t get through my workouts without being mentally tough. I believe training, at least for myself, must improve my physical and emotional well being.
I need to train hard and tough for my own good – or I am simply not satisfied.
I post all my workouts at The Underground Strength Coach Forum, this way you can take ideas from my methods and apply them for yourself or if you train others, maybe you can use them on clients.
This weekend you’ll see some of my videos as well…where I am talking to the camera, getting insanely hyped up and then training, something you must watch to believe
Yes, I’m crazy You will soon see this.
My workout today consisted of a powerlifting movement, an olympic lifting movement, an old school bodybuilding movement (one I NEVER see in traditional gyms anymore) and then I hit calisthneics and sandbags in a circuit.
The pace was fast and furious as always, this is the way I gotta train when short on time.
Speaking of short on time, it’s time for me to get some sleep!
Until the next time,
Zach Even – Esh
