Don’t Get Stuck Being Strong AND Useless

by Zach Even - Esh 22 Comments

In a recent interview I was listening to between Mike Robertson and NFL Strength Coach Joe "House" Kenn, Joe was asked an interesting question. He was asked what he would like to see more of AND what he wishes he focused on in his younger years. His answer was...... MORE Bodyweight Training, More Playground Workouts and the ability to Move your Own Bodyweight. I've personally deadlifted over 500 lbs, squatted 455 for reps, benched over 300 lbs and at 220 lbs can perform 25 pull ups … [Read more...]

STRONG Over 40: 5 Speed & POWER Exercises for MEN Over 40

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Photo Cred: Inside Marty Gallagher's Must Have Book, Purposeful Primitve As I continue to share more for the Men Over 40 crew, this is the latest video for my series called 'STRONG Over 40'. One of the requests I often get is for training methods and exercise "advices" for men over 40. Use it or lose it, my fellow Gladiator! This goes for strength, speed, power and muscle. We lose strength and power very quickly once we hit our mid 30s so your consistency in training must be something … [Read more...]

How to Get Stronger & Build Muscle in Your 40s

by Zach Even - Esh 6 Comments

At the time of this writing, my body is on the mend since my knee surgery and blood clot last March, 2021. My knee is not 100% and as we get older, if you have had an injury or a surgery in the past, I believe it is safer to DOUBLE the length of "recovery time" to ensure you don't rush through the full healing process. So if the Doc says 6 months, I do not believe that in 6 months you have the green light to go ALL out. Instead, take months 6 - 12 to rebuild to greater heights. Use … [Read more...]

Building Stronger, Tougher & Faster Athletes: Eventually, Athletes Need a Heavy Bar on their Back

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Times have been changing for quite some time..... Strength training with the basics is just not "cool" anymore. "Experts" hate on squats and now we have high school kids who can barely squat bodyweight. And this COVID shutdown of gyms didn't help. When gyms were open, at least the kids were in there training. Now, parents are afraid to send kids to a gym and we have everyone locked down in a "safety bubble" You see, many athletes took it upon themselves to do NOTHING during the COVID … [Read more...]

The Value of Calisthenics for Athletes & Men – Training for Performance and Strength

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Training for Performance – The Value of Calisthenics. Let’s dig into performance. Performance for sports and performance for life and work. Bodyweight training is a big component to improve your strength and muscular endurance for sports. In high school we see varsity athletes, both boys and girls who can NOT perform 1 proper push up. This is dangerous. The weaker an athlete is, the more likely he / she is to get injured. Weakness is a liability. … [Read more...]

Are You Stronger Than an Idiot aka Learning From Injuries?

by Zach Even - Esh 6 Comments

Time to lay down the law on those who listen and especially those who are "good enough" and only listen to a select few. Remember, to achieve greater success you must acquire the mindset of "always a white belt". The Learning NEVER ends. I've been there and done that & it led to a road called injured in a town called weakness. This past week, I cranked 4 workouts this week, ALL of them stronger than the week before. Progress is running smoother than ever. Mind you, I NEVER … [Read more...]
