Train Like a Mad Man
I had a goal of Trap Bar Deadlifting 225 lbs for 50 reps. It was easy, mainly because I didn't allow myself the option to fail. I did fail, however, in my ability to count. I watched the video and realized I did 49, NOT 50! I'm a knucklehead, enjoy the Madness Below.... Drop a comment with your thoughts! Lead from the Front! --Z-- PS: Just had a dude sign up for the 1 Day Underground Mentorship coming on March 20th!

Full Body Strength Workout, Part I – Sandbags, Anvil, Thick Grip / Globe Dumbbell Training
I cranked the tunes. It was one of those days where I needed to break the "rules of strength & conditioning". I had to get away from the science and everything being so perfectly organized. Why? Because in competition and life, when do things go so perfectly as planned? It is very, very rare. I Warmed up.... calisthenics of all types - recline row on the ropes, bear crawls, pull ups, t push ups, leg raises while upright on the dip bar, v ups holding a 10 lb med ball.....

Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
I woke up earlier than normal today. It was tempting to stay in bed, shut off my alarm and just wait until my kids jumped on my bed to wake me up. The temptation lasted all but a few seconds. The thought of even considering to hit the snooze button fired me up and so I got out of bed immediately. The mind often tells you one thing and the body another. You must remember, the mind drives the body. Your habits can make or break you. If I slept in, it would have eaten at me all day and I … [Read more...]
How to Kick Ass in Life AND a Warehouse Gym
There are those who "Get it" and those who simply don't "Get it".

Some try opening their business and quickly crumble and fall out of "business". Some see adversity and cower away, while others stare it straight in the eyes and keep charging. Some have a laundry list of excuses and very few … [Read more...]

Article by Louie Simmons There is much talk about training philosophies, methods, and methodologies. It seems everyone has their own, which they devised on the basis of their own experience. They recommend such strategies as doing reps to failure to eliminate assistance work and doing only the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Have you ever wondered what the author has accomplished as a lifter, a trainer, or a scientist? Did they ever total Elite or field a team of Elites at a national … [Read more...]

Mental Toughness Training for Football & Wrestling
A question was sent my way and I pulled it out of the "Mail Bag" :) This question was in relation to why a Football team is looking strong and tough in the weight room, BUT, when they play Football and compete, there is a disconnect. We call this "transfer of training". But, what many Coaches struggle to understand is how to build the mental aspect of the athletes. Check out the video below and drop a comment / question when you're done watching. … [Read more...]
