5 Tips To Be STRONG, Successful & Awesome
I'm fired up as I'm hitting the road to drive down to North Carolina tomorrow. Travis Mash and I will be crushing our seminar together and the next one will be here in NJ. My drive is going to be about 9 hours. And when I get to think about driving, I get to think about how many excuse makers there are. I question where they acquire this attitude of convenience over excellence. I've held seminars where I flew 4, 5 + hours and people within 45 minutes driving said, "Let me know when you're … [Read more...]
Training In Your 40s & Strength Coach Start Up Tips
I can't believe I am writing an article about "Training in your 40s"..... I remember training in my teens and 20s. The saying Time goes fast is a severe understatement! The Ultimate Warrior used to tell me that he would give a handful of his years to go back to his 20s and "Feel that f--in' Power!" That being said, training in your 40s is different for everyone. I've been training since age 13 so the mileage of hard and heavy training has beaten me up. If you're in your 40s and haven't done … [Read more...]

Rather than continue down a road of disappointment and frustration, I will let things be the way they are. Not everyone wants it. Not everyone has the desire to be … [Read more...]

How You Do ANYTHING Is How You Do EVERYTHING
I had a conversation with a friend of mine recently about running a warehouse gym, employees and "doing a great job". It's my mindset when I think of the great quote, How you do Anything, Is How you do EVERYTHING. What do you do with your shopping cart after food shopping? Do you push it or shove it somewhere or do you walk 15 seconds and return the cart properly? You see garbage on the floor? You walked into the gym and carried dirt all over your shoes. Ignore it or clean up after … [Read more...]
Running A Part Time Strength Coach Business
From the first week I opened The Underground Strength Gym warehouse gym, I got MORE phone calls from aspiring Strength Coaches than I did from parents of athletes. THAT was scary! I'm out here trying to build savages and I've got Lawyers and Accountants calling me & leaving me voice mails like this: "I hate this suit and tie shit, I wanna do what you're doing, flipping tires and building beasts!" OK, so that was 10 years ago! So was this earlier … [Read more...]
