Well, that went FAST. Today I am 42. There will be no celebrations or big parties on my end. Honestly, the past few years I have moved into being more quiet with a lot of things and my hard headed attitude of "EARN IT" makes me stray from parties and such. Today is my birthday and also, it's the 5 year anniversary of when I met with the land lord and began signing papers for the Manasquan Underground Strength Gym. This week I will announce a variety of sales and to kick it off, … [Read more...]
The Four Pillars of Transformative Fitness by Marty Gallagher
The Four Pillars of Transformative Fitness To succeed, radical physical transformation need be simultaneously multidimensional. Let us do something rarely done in fitness; let us speak philosophically. What are we doing and why are we doing it? Why are we exercising and dieting? Why are we lifting weights, performing cardio and eating with discipline? Why do we spend money at GNC? Why do we pay personal trainers to train us? Why are fad diet books huge sellers? Why has fitness grown into a … [Read more...]

High School STRONG: Building Hammers Through A Safe & Effective Strength & Performance Program
The High School Athlete of today is MUCH different than the high school athlete of yester-year. When I started training HS athletes, they showed up capable and ready to go. They were able to perform the calisthenics quite well. They were tough. They had muscle on their frame and looked like they were capable of performing in athletics. That was around 2002. A few years later, the new breed of high school athlete began to show up. This athlete was lacking muscle, was struggling on … [Read more...]

WHO Are YOU? The Man In The Arena vs The Spectator
I've been doing some soul searching lately and I will likely do less putting info "out there" such as videos, instagram, etc and more focusing on grounding on myself. My energy gets pulled when I frequently catch myself more dedicated to the very things that the person on the other end of the line needs to be dedicated to. Rather than continue down a road of disappointment and frustration, I will let things be the way they are. Not everyone wants it. Not everyone has the desire to be … [Read more...]
Strong Is STRONG & Training Is TRAINING
Training doesn't need to be complicated to be effective. I will be hammering this home BIG time at my up and coming STRENGTH Seminar with Travis Mash (Details HERE). Growing up in the 80s and 90s gave me insight to the times of YMCA weight rooms filled with York Barbell Equipment. I got to see a state championship Football team crushing the basics while playing The Rocky IV soundtrack day after day. I saw my Wrestling Coach doing 10 sets of squats every time he trained legs, 5 sets of back … [Read more...]
How to Use Barbell Basics Strength Training For The WIN
It was 1990, The Summer after freshman year and I was finishing up my days traveling to the Metuchen YMCA. At the time, the weight room was down stairs, a small dungeon filled with York Barbell Weights, a York Isometric rack and a small radio where the big guys allowed me to bring in my cassette tape to play hard rock music. I knew these were my last days at The Y as construction was in full swing and a new weight room was coming. The few who trained at The Y were big guys. It was a small … [Read more...]

RANT: How “Good Enough” & Mediocrity Is Ruining This Country!
WARNING: RANT TIME. I'm about to unleash some fury on all the things pissing me off. Sensitive people should go elsewhere. You can view these rants as a complaint or as truth. I feel like we're in a war against mediocrity and I have MANY stories to prove it. What brings me to ranting is a recent situation that happened and then ironically I came across an article I wrote in 2010, The Pussification of America. We're in a world where people are FRAUDS - they TALK about excellence but truly … [Read more...]
