Elliott Hulse is one of those guys. When I got to my hotel Wednesday all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I felt like a track wreck and … [Read more...]
My Thoughts On Training As You “Get Older” & The BEST Workout Program
I was 27 years old and getting my car filled up on gas at the local gas station. It was almost Summer time and I was wearing shorts and a t shirt. A guy I knew saw me and said, "Holy shit, son, you're all ripped up. I used to look like that. Wait until you get my age, you won't have the time to train anymore. I used to be just like you......" Those were the famous words I began hearing on the regular, "Just like you....." Listen, things change as you get older, and whether they change for … [Read more...]
Excellence Is Your ONLY Option
It goes back to my days of getting my knee injury checked out in high school and Dr. Medina would ask me what I was going to do with my life. WHAT was I going to BE? Of course, at age 16, I had NO clue. I answered him as such and he told me that whatever I do, I will do it to be the best. "I'll tell you what you're going to do, Zach....." … [Read more...]

The Story of The Infamous BIG Curl Bar
It was a summer morning in 1990 and I had arrived at my favorite place, The Metuchen YMCA. This wasn't the updated YMCA with their brand new equipment, nicely painted walls and senior citizens aimlessly roaming the gym floor. This was the small basement weight room that was treated like the red headed step child, outfitted with what we call today "old school" York Barbell equipment. Round Head York Dumbbells lined the dumbbell racks while the heavier dumbbells were left scattered on the floor. … [Read more...]

You're damn right it's not normal. Normal people achieve normal or average levels of success. I have ZERO interest in being average or normal. Recently, I was reminded like a punch … [Read more...]
Warrior Workouts [March 2015], Random Thoughts & Various Inspiration
I am always finding inspiration. For some reason, everything I see inspires me in some shape or form. I am inspired to be better than I currently am as well as to not be like the things I see that bother me. I've tried to change, to calm down, to be less intense or less serious or even less passionate but it lasts very little. I'm just not a calm guy who lets things slide. I'm intense, passionate and fired up. It's like telling Dan Gable to stop being so intense. It doesn't work. It will … [Read more...]
