It's ALSO what you do when you're NOT in the … [Read more...]
The ONE Exercise You MUST DO
Wanna get strong as Hell? Or, in Dan John's words, "this one exercise will make you awesome" Watch this short video. That's me, throwing around a 130 lb dumbbell. The movement: The 1 Arm Dumbbell Clean & Press. Equally awesome with a barbell. I suggest you do it. And do it often. Remember, for REAL world results, you gotta train with intensity, passion, a plan and you need to move weight. Be a BEAST. Become the Hunter, NOT the hunted. Till the next time.... --Z-- … [Read more...]

Henry Rollins on Iron, Strength, Pain & Greatness
Article by Henry Rollins 'Iron' I believe that the definition of definition is reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. Completely. When I was young I had no sense of myself. All I was, was a product of all the fear and humiliation I suffered. Fear of my parents. The humiliation of teachers calling me "garbage can" and telling me I'd be mowing lawns for a living. And the very real terror of my fellow students. … [Read more...]
Isn’t It Amazing…
Kicking Ass isn’t for everyone. Period. It’s too hard. I’m too tired. It’s too expensive. A family emergency came up. I’m busy. I don’t have time. Excuses piss me off. On the flip side, excuses are fine by me because that makes it easier to get to the top. Those who win have no excuses. They bull doze through anything that gets in their way. If something goes wrong, they take responsibility and learn from their mistakes. There is no..... Next year... Next time... My … [Read more...]

I am NOT an Olympic Lifter so don't cry over my shitty power clean technique. The mere fact that you are about to be ripping weights off the ground and throwing it overhead counts BIG time.

Perform the following reps: 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 8, 5, 3, 2 Rest periods were 1 minute maximum, on the lower rep sets I rested 30 seconds. This workout busted me up REAL Nice :) Back in the day, the … [Read more...]
Days of Thunder Bodybuilding…..
It was September of 1994. I was training at a now defunct gym, it was legit "hardcore", called Dynamic Fitness. Such a shame that it had to end, but it did. I'll never forget that gym. It shaped me and inspired me for a lifetime..... My friend and aspiring pro bodybuilder was there catching a workout and I told him of my plans to compete in a bodybuilding show for 1995. He said "Train with me, I'm doing the Jersey in April and we can train together". I was psyched! Andy was a freak. He was … [Read more...]
Do You Walk the Talk?
You've heard the saying before, haven't you? "Walk the talk, Don't talk the Walk" I first heard this when I was a young kid, watching that OLD show, American Muscle Magazine. A bodybuilder named Mike Quinn always said it. Dave Tate calls this "Getting under the bar." In a nutshell, you HAVE to represent what YOU tell others to do. That means look the part and perform the part. Don't let yourself slip. It means doing "THE thing" when no one else is watching. You can only lead from the front. If … [Read more...]
A Workout for TRUE Warriors
Hope yesterday was awesome for you, whether you enjoyed Thanksgiving or not :) I'm inspired to tear up the Underground today, and after lots of great food yesterday, my energy levels are soaring! This workout was inspired by Dan Cenidoza, a BEAST from Maryland, who was inspired by Dan John for this particular workout. It's basic, but NOT for the faint of heart. The more I write and the more videos I put out, and the longer my Underground Strength Gym evolves, I keep learning... This is not … [Read more...]
