Well I'll be damned, I am hearing more excuses from people of ALL ages who must be infected with some sort of an excuse virus. From teenagers to parents of athletes. From adults in their 20s all the way into their 60s. You either want it or you don't. I can sense it from a mile away, your actions tell me everything about how badly you really want something. I've heard these weak excuses, way too often..... It's too expensive I'm too busy It's too far away I'm waiting … [Read more...]

TIME
TIME. It's something I think about constantly. That right there is a red flag. They say if you fear death then you are not living fully. Red Flag....... You see, I remember being 6 years old, riding my big wheel with friends like it was yesterday. I remember mountain biking with my friends all Summer long when I was 22 like it was yesterday, except that was half my life time ago. How does half a life time pass by in what seems to be minutes? Today, my days are filled with work and the … [Read more...]

Passion & The Utter Disdain for Anything Less Than Excellence
When I talk about passion, it's hard to not think about Tom Platz! And of course, who was a BIG inspiration to Tom? It was none other than Dr. Squat himself, Fred Hatfield! Most people will never understand Platz's intensity (insanity) in his training but to me, it ALL makes sense. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, before smart phones were around and the ability to film my training happened, I trained "crazy". But, I could NOT hold myself back. I couldn't stop myself. I HAD to … [Read more...]

If you haven't been training for a while, I want you to do these 4 exercises, 3 x week: … [Read more...]

I’ve been stuck in a training rut for a long freaking time and I’ve reached out to some other people and nobody can seem to help. I know you’ve been building badasses at your facilities and you know what’s up in the … [Read more...]
188 | John Welbourn & Zach Philosophize on LIFE
STRONG Life Podcast ep. 188 with my Dude, John Welbourn from Power Athlete. This episode covers little in the realm of training / strength & conditioning and instead, Johnny & I chat about the meaning of life and lessons we've learned as we "get older". I gotta tell ya, I could talk with Johnny ALL day without stopping, very few guys I connect with who keep it real like Welbourn. In fact, we did chat all night in Philly a few years back and unfortunately, it was no recorded due to … [Read more...]
Random Thoughts: Training, CrossFit, Lessons from Sun Tzu & Warehouse Gym Business Standards / Ethics
Here we go...... I'm sipping on some tea, prepping up for our 9 AM training before the new year at my Manasquan, NJ Underground Strength Gym location. The quote above from Sun Tzu was shared to me from my buddy, John Welbourn. I LOVE it. It makes me think about the athletes I work with, how they are held back BIG time when they fear getting out of their comfort zone. I watch every winter / wrestling season a local team getting DESTROYED by the competition in a way I … [Read more...]
