CrossFit Endurance – Breaking ALL the Rules
Back in the day, in fact, even today, when people train for long distance running or running of any sort, their training involves running, more running and of course, some more running. I even get countless horror stories from my track & field throwing & sprinting athletes telling me how they run 2 miles as a "warm up". To become the best you need to learn from the best. That's exactly what's about to go down on June 4th & 5th at The Underground Strength Gym. Training for … [Read more...]

Becoming a BEAST with Bodyweight Workouts
Believe it or not, the gyms "back in the day" looked much like what everyone is trying to use as a fad today, calling everything "old school" is TRUE, but, old school strength back in the day was NOT being used as a fad. It was a way of life for these lifters and athletes. They lived and breathed mastering their body, gaining strength, packing on muscle and manipulating their nutrition to improve their health & performance. Rope Climbs, Gymnastics training, hand walking AND the use of … [Read more...]

How to Squat: DEEP Squats and Dinosaurs – Are BOTH Extinct?
Walk into a typical high school weight room and you'll see a 1 rep max test on the squat every month. Typically, you'll see kids hitting 315 to 495 on the squat. Kids that weigh 185 lbs are doing this, some weight 135 lbs and squat 315. Amazing. On the bar is a THICK Pad to cushion the back. The thick pad replaces the need to build up the traps. After all, who needs a set of BIG, thick traps to support the neck and reduce chances of neck injuries while playing football? Perhaps you'll … [Read more...]
45 Years Ago
If you've been reading my blog for some time you likely know I am a BIG fan of collecting vintage strength and muscle building products of all types, ranging from old school strength equipment to old school strength and muscle building books, magazines and strength training courses. The information I obtain from the magazines dating back to the 40s, 50s and 60s is mind blowing to say the least, especially when compared to the majority of what the magazines publish nowadays. I've got an entire … [Read more...]
Bodyweight Workout Post Sandbag Challenge

Bodyweight training tells NO lies. It shows you if you're too heavy, too fat, too weak, in shape or out of shape. If you're training athletes, you need to place a … [Read more...]
5 Years & 500 Videos
It was 5 years ago.... On April 1st, 2006, I uploaded my first ever video to you tube. I was running my training from my garage at the time, training ONLY Wrestlers & Football players, kinda like what I do now :) I was rockin' a self made web site and a simple blog because web designers back in the day were charging over $ 200 per hour. OUCH! My lack of knowledge with web sites never stopped me from trying my best to spread the word about my training methods. I still … [Read more...]
The John Welbourn Sandbag Challenge
What happens when a former NFL Lineman, 310 lb BEAST challenges you? You step up and go BEAST mode.... and then quickly realize BEAST is what I will always be chasing.... John Welbourn came up with a sandbag challenge from ground to overhead but because my shoulder is a bit tweaked now, we made a slight adjustment and went ground to shoulder. Thanks to John and his crew for the inspiration. This challenge was a good ol' gut check for mind and body. Test this for yourself and time … [Read more...]
