Passion & The Utter Disdain for Anything Less Than Excellence
When I talk about passion, it's hard to not think about Tom Platz! And of course, who was a BIG inspiration to Tom? It was none other than Dr. Squat himself, Fred Hatfield! Most people will never understand Platz's intensity (insanity) in his training but to me, it ALL makes sense. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, before smart phones were around and the ability to film my training happened, I trained "crazy". But, I could NOT hold myself back. I couldn't stop myself. I HAD to … [Read more...]
“I’m too tired to train…..”
I've been getting a lot of emails from guys who are exhausted from LIFE. Work, family, work more, life stuff happening. I KNOW the feeling. But sorry, fellas, we are MEN, we MUST be STRONG.

If you haven't been training for a while, I want you to do these 4 exercises, 3 x week: … [Read more...]

I crushed a GREAT question last night on my Instagram which led to a few more questions.

188 | John Welbourn & Zach Philosophize on LIFE
STRONG Life Podcast ep. 188 with my Dude, John Welbourn from Power Athlete. This episode covers little in the realm of training / strength & conditioning and instead, Johnny & I chat about the meaning of life and lessons we've learned as we "get older". I gotta tell ya, I could talk with Johnny ALL day without stopping, very few guys I connect with who keep it real like Welbourn. In fact, we did chat all night in Philly a few years back and unfortunately, it was no recorded due to … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts: Training, CrossFit, Lessons from Sun Tzu & Warehouse Gym Business Standards / Ethics
Here we go...... I'm sipping on some tea, prepping up for our 9 AM training before the new year at my Manasquan, NJ Underground Strength Gym location. The quote above from Sun Tzu was shared to me from my buddy, John Welbourn. I LOVE it. It makes me think about the athletes I work with, how they are held back BIG time when they fear getting out of their comfort zone. I watch every winter / wrestling season a local team getting DESTROYED by the competition in a way I … [Read more...]

Minimalist Training, Social Media Posts for Likes vs Impact & Training to be Dangerous
In this live Instagram I chat about the following: Minimalist Training, Social Media Posts for Likes vs Impact & Training to be Dangerous. With my hectic schedule it reminded me of my mid 20s when I went on a 2x week training program while going through grad school (1 hr commute each way), teaching full time, coaching wrestling and not wanting to give up my membership at Diamond Gym. Enjoy the show...... … [Read more...]
