How an Athlete Gained 60 lbs of Muscle
Travis began training at The Underground when it was just a garage gym. The workouts were furious, in fact, I still miss those days, as do ALL the original Undergrounders.

He didn't complain when he had to trap bar deadlift with only 185 lbs for months on end because his back could not handle any more weight. Today, Travis deadlifts near … [Read more...]

Kettlebell Training & Jump Training for Size, Speed & Strength
Strength is of critical importance for any athlete / adult, regardless of age. Speed is the next gear that takes strength to the next level. When I hear Coaches go on and on about strength and say nothing of speed I know they are missing the boat and vice versa. We then have Coaches who act as if strength is a bad thing.
