The DE Evolution of Man
The DE Evolution of Man is going in a bad direction, and that's putting things lightly. Worst of all, it's moving TOO fast in that downward slope. We gotta step up and change things and it starts with YOU. There are men today in their 20s and 30s with Testosterone levels of men in their 60s. The stress of life nowadays, the constant sitting in front of a computer, the lack of intensity and passion for exercise, too many carbs, not enough healthy fats and proteins... They are ALL … [Read more...]
Get It Done – The Key To Might & Muscle
Above, John Grimek in 1937. The Basics Never Let John Down Monday was a crazy day for me in which I kept putting off my workout. One thing led to another and my idea became that of finding a way to train at The Underground Strength Gym in Edison. The gym was pumping and I had phone calls to return and things to organize. Do this, do that, get this done, get that done. Before ya know it.... … [Read more...]

Odd Object Lifting For “Functional Strength”
Through my own experiences as an athlete and training other athletes, I was taught a powerful lesson that was once (and perhaps still is seen as a fad): Training ONLY with free weights and bodyweight exercises is limiting your potential in developing strength above and beyond the "norm", especially if you're an athlete. The body quickly gets bored and adapts to training methods unless you implement variety. Variety can be the training tools, the speed of the exercises, the range of motion, the … [Read more...]
Volume Training & Science For Maximizing Your Strength & Muscle Gains
"Any fool can create a program that is so demanding that it would virtually kill the toughest Marine or hardiest of elite athletes, but not any fool can create a tough program that produces progress without unnecessary pain.” ~ Dr. Mel C. Siff ~ As much as I encourage the basics in training, of equal importance is understanding how to properly organize a training plan so you are able to break through plateaus and make consistent gains in size, strength, speed & performance. After a … [Read more...]

George Hackenschmidt, The Russian Lion – Wisdom From 1908
In 1908, the book 'The Way to Live' was released. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book: "It is a well known fact that the majority of men today are relatively weak, whereas the struggle for existence demands now more than at any previous epoch that we should all be strong!" I assume back then, MANY thought George Hackenschmidt, aka The Russian Lion, was crazy, strange and weird.... you know, all the good words people tend to use when describing anyone who isn't fitting in with … [Read more...]
Navy SEAL Life Lessons & The SEALFit 20 X Challenge
The year was 1993. I was 17 years old and had to wrestle off for the opportunity to wrestle in the districts my senior year. I clearly remember that quickly into the match I had a feeling of rapid fatigue in my muscles and lungs. I remember being frightened as fear quickly crept into my thoughts about how my body felt. I shut down and felt scared. I lost that wrestle off. I remember packing up my wrestling locker into a black garbage bag, and it was symbolic of a body bag at the time. It was … [Read more...]
