Got some cool questions that I wanna crank out via the Blog. Check em' below as these questions come in often. Enjoy! Q: Hi Zach! My Name is Mark and I live on Cape Cod. If you have a minute I wanted to ask you about tire flipping. 4 of us from my affiliate competed in a Crossfit Competition today and there was a 1000 pound tire-at least that's what they told us it weighed. Any way no one from my team has flipped the tire before and we couldn't even get the thing off the ground. … [Read more...]
9 NO B.S. Strength & Muscle Building Tips from Jason Ferruggia
Jason Ferruggia has been through the ringer, literally. He used to be a hardcore follower of Westside Barbell Methods, and, he got strong as hell doing so, as well as his athletes. I remember him telling me of his bench press workouts using 315 for 12-15 reps for several sets. But, with all those years under the bar comes great experience. And.... when the bar is HEAVY, you get banged up. If you're smart, you adjust your training regime into something that works on a regular basis while … [Read more...]

NO Excuses. 35 is around the corner for me, and I have changed things up to keep me "under the bar" where as most men I run into make excuses … [Read more...]

Deadly Dads Deadliftin’
I've become stronger in mind AND body since becoming a Dad. Something about being a family man pushes me and other Dads to become stronger than ever before. Not all Dads do this, some fall off the wagon and become lazy, fat pieces of sh*t and have a million and one excuses as to why they have become weak. In fact, it has happened countless times, where some fat ass Dad says to me, "I used to look like you. Then I got married, had kids..... You'll see, it'll happen to you." The fact of … [Read more...]

Martin Rooney and I talk about what life is like as a Strength Coach and give you a preview of what's about to go down with "The Human Crane". Check the video and pay attention....

Training for Warriors
Martin gave me a little taste of a simple Hurricane Workout as his fighters were close to fight night. I test drove 1 round of the Hurricane and it was rough, even with the light weights. Running on a treadmill felt a bit awkward as I am used to hills, streets, grass and trails. Look how calm these guys stay during the intense training and watch me get my ass kicked :) Many have asked about Martin's protocols for training MMA fighters and other combat athletes. Obviously, to describe it in a … [Read more...]
