TEST Your Muscles & Grip Strength with Strongman Training & Arm Wrestling
Above, The Manasquan Underground Strength Gym. I have mentioned this before, and in my last post, where many of you commented on your favorite exercises being "Ground Based". We're on the same page. I've been on the other side of the map myself, when I was a high school wrestler, using every machine in the gym, lying down, sitting down, smith machines, etc. That training had me looking like a fitness model and performing sub par. There are tremendous strength benefits that come from … [Read more...]

Episode # 130: Training with Sandbags, Powerlifting and Bodyweight
Everything is just a tool. The barbell will always be the King of the weight room, but man do I LOVE heavy dumbbell work. Heavy sandbag training is awesome as well. Explosive bodyweight drills can't be denied either. Check out one of our athletes, CJ Hart, 16 years young, a Football Player and Wrestler.

Power-Bodybuilding Workouts
Last night I was so tired when I was done training my athletes at The Underground I was ready to just call it a night and drive home. Certainly, back when I was a teenager or early 20s, training at 9 PM was easy. I had all the energy in the world, granted, I wasn't a family man or running multiple businesses either. But at the end of the night, I knew I just couldn't quit. I had to go hard and dig deep. Times like these reveal and test your character. It's been a LONG week with my son, … [Read more...]

My Biggest Bodybuilding Mistakes
Flip flops or old school Chuck taylors, deep dish York barbell plates, wooden floors, kick ass training partners and a kick ass atmosphere. What else did they need!?!? We're ALL "Bodybuilders" - like it or hate it, that's the truth. We're building our body and whoever you are reading this, you are simply using your own methods to make it look and perform the way you want it to. I've been bodybuilding since age 13 and I have made a shit ton of mistakes. Many of which cost me today. I am … [Read more...]
Bodybuilding with Sandbags
I love training with Sandbags. They are simple and brutal. Overall, they are an all in one gym and you can mimic a lot of barbell lifts with the sandbag along with old fashioned farm boy work; carry, throw, loading on platforms, etc. Of course, thanks to the sensitivity of the internet, there are coaches who are crying over who started to train with sandbags first. Or, they think they invented this or that exercise. They can finally SHUT UP, that would be great. Before any of us were … [Read more...]
