I am a BIG believer in following your heart and doing what you love. This is why I created The Underground Strength Coach Certification.

In fact this past weekend, during The Lost Secrets of Strength Development Seminar was a young guy, totally bummin', training soccer moms who don't even want to work … [Read more...]
Old School Strength Training Rules, Period!
Today I was about to close up shop at the gym until an old friend strolled in to wish me a happy birthday. Johnny and I competed against each other in the 1995 Teenage Mr. NJ!

I think I'm hovering near 220. We spoke about his current regime of heavy squats, heavy deads, heavy military pressing, 120 lb dumbbell hammer … [Read more...]

The 1 Thing I Thought I Would NEVER Do…
Ironically, I have been getting a lot of e mails regarding injuries, pain and staying healthy. Let me tell you, as an addict of heavy iron for just shy of 20 years, I sometimes wonder if life has a purpose without heavy squats and deadlifts - no joke. But, I also understand the importance of longevity. You see, I want to be able to do this when Im 60, 70 and 80 years old...all the way until my very last breath on earth. It hits me hard when my lower back is so busted up that bending over and … [Read more...]

Episode # 66: The Door & A Bronx Tale…in Edison!?
"Nows you can't leave" I was a freshman in college and had creative writing. I seriously fell in love with the class and never knew how much I LOVED writing until I as given free reign to write about anything I wanted to. My Professor's name was Tony, he never told us his last name. Watching the movie, 'A Bronx Tale' was a homework assignment, and then we had to write a reaction paper to it. The movie floored me.
