Underground Strength Stories: Tom Platz Squats & Diamond Gym

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

It was the Winter of 1995 and I was driving to Diamond Gym with my training partners. Our typical 30 minute drive to Diamond was the 3 of us getting fired up to destroy the gym as we blasted music from my special Kenwood stereo. Back then, I had cassette tapes that were special mix tapes with our favorite music. But this one time, the guys were strangely silent. I was scared. Scared that our workout was going to be a wash. The entire 30 minute drive I could just feel their lack of … [Read more...]

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

STRONG Life Podcast ep. 213, here we GO! Skipping leg day in the gym is 1 thing, skipping leg day in LIFE is another thing! There are NO shortcuts to achieving REAL Success. We ALL know this, but, how many people LIVE this. I had an athlete recently ask me, Do we have to train legs? I almost had to look around for the hidden camera, I thought it was a joke. But, it was NOT a joke. You see, people of ALL ages are weak minded. They seek comfort. They want easy. They think we OWE … [Read more...]

STRONG Life Insider: Ep. 38 | How to Take Ownership & Destroy The “Good Enough” Standard

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

The little things count BIG time. In training, it's where you place your hands on the bar and the position of your feet. In work, it's picking up the thread of garbage on the floor or walking past it. It's doing something for someone before they ask you to do it. Details separate the good from the great. The greats KNOW this while the average do NOT care about the details. … [Read more...]

Us vs “Them”

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

No need to talk to me, I am here to do WORK. Before you even hit the gym, you've already been preparing for that training session. 24 hours in advance..... The day before you made sure your eating was on point. Plenty of protein to fuel yourself, some carbs to make sure the energy is on point because you know you're going to BATTLE it out in the gym today. You got to sleep a bit earlier than normal to ensure when you wake up, you feel READY. You are "mentally warming up" 24 hrs … [Read more...]
