The Warrior Who Trained & Lived by His OWN Rules
He was a quiet man. He got away from the busy streets and found himself some land and built a cabin with a few old friends. He told me he paid them with the game he hunted but it was not work for he and his friends. He said they loved the time together and it was a "friends helping friends" gig. Friends that help each other yet don't ask for anything in return. I thought to myself how perfect it sounded. He didn't pay much mind to the news or what "other people" thought of him. He felt … [Read more...]
Deadlifts + Isometrics: OLD Training for NEW Results
Deadlifts have been around since the dawn of time. Cavemen lifting heavy objects off the ground. It's so simple, it's complicated. It doesn't have to be complicated, BUT, people nowadays LOVE to complicate things. I don't know why? I assume because it helps people FEEL as if they are accomplishing more by creating more complication. In this video, I encourage you to TEST this yourself. HOW? By lifting the weights. There is NO other way. You can research all you want but until you are … [Read more...]
Why Coaches Must STOP Training Athletes with Stupid, Dangerous “Workouts”
I am always in shock with how abundant information is, both good and bad, yet still, when left to their own devices, sport coaches are implementing crazy, stupid, BS "workouts" for their athletes. I know this article and video will hit a nerve with coaches. In fact, I know of Coaches who threaten their players that if they DO train at The Underground Strength Gym, they will be reprimanded. How's that for caring about the kids? It doesn't take much work to research what is safe and … [Read more...]
31 Years of Training Anniversary SALE
I was 13 years old. It was early June and there was 2 weeks left of 8th grade. I trekked down to my brother's room and went through Arnold's Encyclopedia. We had a Weider bench, some sand filled weights and bodybuilding magazines piled against the wall. I had tried "working out" before but NEVER stuck with it. In fact, I recall questioning myself in middle school every time I trained for a week or 2 and then … [Read more...]

Old Training Methods for New Results
At age 44, I am still learning and evolving with my training. 31 years into training and unlike many lifters and coaches, I am not moving forward with a closed mind. Listen, if you want to get better, you need an open mind. You need to have the hunger and desire to keep learning and keep improving. A closed mind helps no one. I've been adding a few new things for me but they are not new in the realm of training methods. Some of these training methods that I have started implementing with … [Read more...]
Conspiracy Craziness, Upper Body Warm Ups + Specialty Bars for Shoulder Health
It's been a minute since I've posted a new article to the blog, and honestly, I am writing right now because it FEELS good to write. It's a therapy of sorts, similar to how I feel when training. LOTS going on now. I stayed calm and cool with the quarantine but now this craziness in NJ is out of control. I see lines out the door of Dairy Queen, other large chain businesses are packed to the gills and the only thing I ever see getting cleaned, if that's what it is, is a few sprays here and … [Read more...]
