The TRUTH About Getting Jacked & Why The Iron NEVER Lies
Over 10 years later, I am still shocked with how strong I got and how much muscle I packed on when I trained in my parents garage. I bought a 300 lb weight set from CostCo, had a pair of 50 and 100 lb dumbbells, a flat utility bench and flimsy, cheap squat rack, aka a gun rack. Let me further explain.... ALL Truth.... … [Read more...]
How To Squat Heavy, Even When You Get “Older”
I've heard many tales of how as you get "older" you should stop squats and deadlifts because your body won't be able to handle these exercises anymore. What age constitutes being "older", anyway? I've heard people call over age 25 or 30 being old. Let's cut the B.S. and kill the excuses, shall we? … [Read more...]

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...]

Speed Coach Asks: Strength Training WithOUT A Weight Room?
I recently had a Coach who is running Speed Training Camps for athletes ask about incorporating Strength work while out on the field as they have No access to the weight room. This is a GREAT question and I am psyched to hear from a Coach who understands that being STRONG is integral to the development of speed. To some, being without a weight room is seen as a dilemma, for me, this is where I was born & bred, lifting heavy objects in backyards and empty fields.Nothing fancy about what … [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...]
The 9 Best Sandbag Strength Training Exercises
Sandbag training has been one of the most powerful methods I've implemented with training my athletes. The various sandbag workouts & exercises have developed a type of strength and mental toughness that is unique to say the least. Using sandbags has helped with developing explosive power, brute strength, mental toughness and has even reduced injuries and weakness in odd / awkward positions that tend to happen during sports such as the round back position in wrestling, lifting opponents … [Read more...]
