Underground Strength Show Ep. 104: Inspiration from Dr. Ken

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

I'm a BIG fan of the good ol' days when strength was a priority. When strength is your goal you have no problems putting on size. Squats were ass to grass and deadlifts were common place.

Today, everyone says they have "bulging discs" and have more excuses than ever before.

The bodybuilders of The Golden Era didn't just look strong, they were strong. They walked the talk. It wasn't chemical warfare back then, it was HARD WORK.

I snagged myself a dozen or so old school bodybuilding magazines with articles from someone I really admire, Dr. Ken Leistner.

He trained, and still does train athletes with heavy barbells, thick bars, stones, anvils, missiles (don't worry, they're empty 🙂

I see these photos and I feel like Dr. Ken and I are related.

Check out the magazines and the workout these articles inspired me....

The internet has changed the way we receive information.

The over abundance of info, the freedom for anyone to be a "Coach" - it confuses people.

Having the body of a model doesn't make someone qualified to be a TRUE Coach. Results count. Don't get caught up in the hype.

It's called "working out" for a reason. This takes WORK.

    Zach:

    Glad to see you are giving props to Dr. Ken. This guy is an iron game legend. I’ve had the pleasure of training at Dr. Ken’s home…he has the best home gym set-up in the world. He also pointed me in the right direction years ago when I got into the training busines, and I credit him for lighting a fire under my ass to go out on my own. No bullshit with this guy: squats, deads, overhead presses…train till your eyeballs pop out. I have all of his articles from HIT newsletter, PLUSA, “The Life in the Loft” series from MILO, and his ver rare “Iron Island Insights” from when he owned the Iron Island Gym. I treasure these.
