Woops, almost forgot about this BEAUTY thanks to my insane schedule :) Check out this beautiful vintage gym in a south jersey basement. I snagged about 600 lbs of vintage strength weights from this gentleman. I need to clean them up a tad and my son will be getting 4 or 5 VERY vintage York barbells for him to use. Could there be anything more amazing than some old york weights in your hands? OK, never mind, don't answer that question. Anyway, check this amazing video, and if you love … [Read more...]

REAL Man Muscle Building Ain’t No Joke!
At the end of a LONG day at The Underground Strength Gym, Canada's Pro Strongman, Paul Vaillancourt, stopped by the gym today with his entourage. With plans of stopping by for 5 PM they got lost in the Dirty Jerzee and enjoyed some scenery in what some call the ghetto, others call the projects - not a fun place to be driving through with a mini van, a fauly GPS and not a clue as to where the heck you're going! We talked biz and training for 10 minutes and I was itching to train. Before … [Read more...]
NFL Linebacker, Dhani Jones Trains Underground
Dhani Jones used to train with my homeboy Joe DeFranco....in a storage closet and sometimes outdoors on a Football field, flipping 600 + lb tires and throwing around Kegs. Today, Dhani Jones has his own TV show and "Tackles the Globe" while competing in the respective country's sport, many of which are combat sports. Check out some footage of Dhani below, and, notice how much of his preparation for each sport requires some unorthodox methods - combining these Underground methods with his … [Read more...]
Strongman Training for SERIOUS Muscle & Strength
I love the barbell and all free weights. But there is something powerful, beyond the strength benefits, about training with odd objects. The mental toughness, the commitment to finish the struggling rep and the attitude required to fight through is unique to strongman training and odd objects. That being said. Not everyone is ready for this style of training. I explain below.... … [Read more...]

Leg Strength and Mental Toughness: How to Get it
Finishing a workout with heavy sled and prowler training is a top notch way to develop legs of steel and high octane conditioning. Mental toughness can be trained by pushing the pace, cutting rest periods, going heavier, racing against others and doing an extra set when everyone else quits. You can finish your workout with the sled and prowler or you can hit them hard and create an entire lower body workout with these two training tools. Check out the end of a workout that our athletes went … [Read more...]

Follow Your Passion, Forget the Fear
Once again, from all over the USA this time (often times around the world) aspiring Strength Coaches and Biz Owners traveled to The Underground Strength Gym via planes, trains and autombiles. They learned the blue print and the exact system athletes go through when they become members of The Underground Strength Gym here in the dirty Jerzee. They went through a workout to give themselves a lil' taste of what it feels like, and, there is no better way to learn than by getting your hands dirty … [Read more...]
My Vintage York Barbell Gym Tour
I snagged a recent e bay auction with 600 lbs of vintage weights from York Barbell, Wonder Barbell, Jackson Barbell and Heathway Barbell. Little did I know this gentleman (who's identity can not be identified) had a BEAUTFUL Vintage York Barbell Gym in his basement. It was also cool AND ironic to see all the York Blobs he was selling on e bay and 1 of them was won by none other than the Grip King himself, Richard Sorin. It was ironic because I had JUST spoken with Richard by phone … [Read more...]
