What did I di after my garage sale adventure (still more to come!)? Check it out below.... Now...a quick note to you, but, on a serious note! I just returned from Ryan Lee's Boot Camp, and, exactly 2 years ago, while checking out, I ran into a guy named Dax Moy while checking out of the hotel. He was a jacked up dude, 6'2" a solid 230. We connected via email that very same week and I learned of his military experience as a commando, his insane training and his evolution from Military … [Read more...]
And the winner of The USC Inspiration Contest is….
As you know, I decided to hold a inspiration contest last week for The Underground. It was our 3rd birthday, I was sharing with others what The Underground has done for my family and my life, I was hoping others would share as well. Several people sent in their videos, and they were heart thumping! Inspiraitonal doesn't describe these vids well enough. I showed the videos to a few fitness pros as well as a few NON fitness professionals to see the response. The response was 100% for one video, … [Read more...]

You vs “That Guy”
I used to work with a guy at a fitness center. He was an awesome trainer and he had big goals. He wanted to open his own facility. He left the place we worked at and worked for another guy. He was the "head" trainer there. He was super reliable, excellent with his clients and was seriously the dream employee / trainer that any biz owner could hope for. he kept talking to me about the "5 year plan". but every year we met up, it was still a 5 year plan. This was 10 years ago, and he still … [Read more...]

15 Minute Muscle Building Workouts
I was in a bit of a rush Friday before clients were heading in to The Underground Strength Gym and I was finishing up some work on the Blog. Not to worry, as I knew I could crank out some brutal work for myself with limited time. Hey, 15 minutes sounds like nothing but when you're as insanely busy as I am, it works when you need it to work, and, you learn to cut out the crap and focus on the meat and potatoes. Getting stronger in both the physical and mental state is what I TRULY love. … [Read more...]
A Day at DeFranco’s – The Strongman Challenge
Yesterday I made the one hour trek up north to my homeboy Joe D's gym, and damn, what a gym it is, I'm in heaven there. The atmosphere is always high octane and steel is always clanging together or being dropped on the floor. It was our 2nd year competing in Joe D's strongman contest, and this year we brought 1 high school athlete and 5 college athletes. Unfortunately, 2 were unable to attend due to injury and family vacation. I had a wedding to attend yesterday and I was big time pressed … [Read more...]
