by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

As of this article / podcast being posted, I have listened to this Bonus podcast with Al Vermeil and Josh Bryant 4 times! Yes, it is THAT GOOD!

Gladiator STRONG + How I Messed Up My Own Training When I Was Younger?

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

When I was younger and competing in sports, wrestling specifically, I was unfortunately training the WRONG way. And as an athlete, time is crucial. You NEVER get that time back and so, you miss out on opportunity. The opportunity to train the RIGHT way is often times the difference maker between you being part of the team vs you being someone who goes down in the history books. It was the late 80s and the early 90s when I was training complete opposite of The Gladiator STRONG method. I was … [Read more...]

Minimalist Training, Social Media Posts for Likes vs Impact & Training to be Dangerous

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

In this live Instagram I chat about the following: Minimalist Training, Social Media Posts for Likes vs Impact & Training to be Dangerous. With my hectic schedule it reminded me of my mid 20s when I went on a 2x week training program while going through grad school (1 hr commute each way), teaching full time, coaching wrestling and not wanting to give up my membership at Diamond Gym.

5 Reasons Why High Schools Need Expert Strength & Conditioning Coaches

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I've been fighting this fight for a LONG time. I always say, The Kids are #1. Yet, when it comes to what happens in the weight room, I do NOT see this. I see administrators turning a blind eye to what happens in high school weight rooms, even though we've seen / heard on the news SERIOUS injuries (even death) occur due to unsafe training methods. - Do high school kids NEED "Navy SEAL Training"? - Do high school kids NEED to test their 1RM in the squat, bench and power clean? Here are … [Read more...]

How I Train Athletes & The Fight Against Strength & Conditioning Fads

by Zach Even - Esh 5 Comments

Strong is STRONG. You can't fake strong. Some athletes / people might LOOK strong but when it's time to perform, they can not perform. How do I know? I was there myself in my high school years as a wrestler - I followed too much bodybuilding work and I LOOKED strong, but I was NOT able to perform with dominating power. When I began getting heavily into strength & conditioning, the industry was really pushing the "functional training" craze. Back in the early 2000s, this meant you had … [Read more...]

Can you build muscle? Can you do it naturally? What about when you "get older"? Your 30s, 40s and 50s? I am not sure why we begin to think it's all over in our 30s and 40s. I have a funny feeling the internet confused you and the fact that I am saying, YES, You CAN build muscle & strength as you "get older", the internet will now sue me! I just saw a photo of Sly training hard at my buddy Gunnar Peterson's gym. Sly is 70! So with Sly being almost twice my age and still looking … [Read more...]
