Sometimes I get a bit fed up with things and I just dont wanna keep my mouth shut. Let's talk training, which all of us should be here for, and, if you're a fitness professional, pay attention to 2 resources I'm gonna hook you up with. TRAINING: I have received, no lie, a good 30 e mails and near 10 phone calls to my gym from a supposed "hard gainer" He is always asking about the exact sets, reps and specific program he should follow. He told me he has followed near 30 programs. He has … [Read more...]
Everything is Changing
5 years ago I spent over 4 hours on the phone with a guy by the name of Alwyn Cosgrove. I'm talking 4 + hours straight, not an hour here and there. I "met" AC through special business forums that Ryan Lee created, which were membership forums. The most motivated dudes were on this forum, and back then, as they are now, these were industry leaders. I was living at home, die hard passionate about doing what I do now for a living. Guys like Brian Grasso, Lee Taft, Jason C. Brown and Pat Bieth … [Read more...]

Episode # 87: Holiday Underground Workouts
Bringing together all the athletes is critical for creating an unbeatable environment. 1 on 1 is dead, it's boring and doesn't elevate intensity anywhere near what could happen with a crew of motivated beasts. This is part 1 of our X Mas Eve, morning Underground Strength Gathering. Stay tuned for part 2 of our X Mas Eve morning, Underground Strength Gathering! What did you do on the morning of X Mas Eve? Kill it! --Coach Z-- PS: On Friday, January 9th, from 7 pm till 8:30 pm, I am … [Read more...]
Episode # 86: Underground Strength Gym Start Up
Stuck in a dead end job? That's YOUR choice. I hear of people WAITING for work to pick up. FUCK THAT! Go out and make business happen. In this video you'll see two certified Underground Strength Coaches talking about living their dreams, NOT dreaming their life. Joe DeFranco chats about how and where he started briefly, but more of that is HERE. Yes, it takes "balls", if you will, to take the jump. 4 years and 2 months ago I payed Joe DeFranco for an in person consultation. It took 6 … [Read more...]
Episode # 85: The DeFranco’s Log Throwing Contest
On the 2nd day of 'The Lost Secrets of Strength Development' seminar at Joe DeFranco's Gym, I arrived slightly early and Joe D was rolling up slower than me. The entire crew was waiting out back and my eye was caught by a stone and a log. To ensure I was not to be arrested I went for the log and announced a log throwing contest. I screwed the rules up b/c I allowed the distance to include the rolling of the log. I figured on cement it would be tough to get a clear and accurate pinpoint of … [Read more...]
Just had to show my favorite Wrestling video!
Guys, this video has always amped me up, and with wrestling season in full swing here in the dirty jerzee (and everywhere else in the USA) it is only fitting you see what a wrestler can do when he has brute strength, lightning fast power and amazing skill....

Today, we had a lot of our college wrecking crew training at http://UndergroundStrengthGym.com … [Read more...]
Coach Ethan Reeve Interview
"All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work." ~ Thomas J. Watson Wow, look what I dug up! MANY Years ago, I had the opportunity to e mail Coach Ethan Reeve, one of my mentors, and he dished out some of the most powerful training information as exchanged emails. Here it is, once again, for your reading … [Read more...]
Episode # 80: Louisville Strength vs Battling Ropes
I have never used such a training tool that forces you to GO, GO, GO and can whoop your ass in such a short time. Well, let me rephrase that: These Battling Ropes rank up there with the prowler and high rep kettlebell snatches. These ropes are an amazing tool. They develop full bodt stamina, mental toughness, grip strength endurance and power endurance. There is NO slow with the battling ropes, it's ALL power output, or as their creator, John Brookfield says, this is velocity output - always … [Read more...]
