Conditioning Workouts That Toughen the Mind AND Body
I got fired up to attack some conditioning workouts after my man, Joe Kenn, aka HOUSE aka BIG DAWG created a new IG account, Meathead Metabolics. I love ALL types of training but my Right Knee has been an issue and running pains me. So, I find other methods to raise the heart rate without pounding the knees. Below are a few conditioning workouts that serve a purpose of hardening the mind and body. A good ol' gut check if you will. I think we need these once a week. Comfort is the enemy … [Read more...]
Training In Your 40s VS Training High School & College Athletes
The older you get, the harder the training gets! It's tougher to make gains and you can forget about that "maintenance" BS program. If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. I NEVER use the word "maintenance" when training anyone, including in season for athletes. Think about it, how weak does it sound when you say I'm just trying to maintain. It sounds like you fear the work. It makes me wonder, how long can my message of hard work and consistency on the basics live on … [Read more...]

WHY You MUST Be Able To Figure Things Out On Your OWN
Do this, Do that. Rest this long, do x sets, x reps, bla bla bla. If you always have someone telling you what to do, how to do it, when to do...... You will never succeed in anything. You have to figure things out on your own. You must be willing to experiment, to make mistakes and most of all, to fight back and learn to do things better. Every morning of a holiday I like to hold Holiday morning training sessions at The Underground Strength Gym. You can see some OLD videos below and … [Read more...]
Training to Always Be Ready VS “I Have to Get Ready”
I've been harping on a topic I call "Always Be Ready" for many years now. I began hearing the phrase I have to get ready from people who were interested in training at The Underground Strength Gym many years ago. They would come in with a friend or do a trial and then I'd hear that weak phrase, I have to get ready...... I was thinking to myself, who the hell says that? Why not just be relentless and attack NOW!!?? Who shows up for a trial workout and then doesn't want to ATTACK NOW? … [Read more...]
HARD Nosed Lifting Lessons from 1991
Lessons from 1991 - Make The Rep or Die! I was a high school sophomore and it was a bit after wrestling season. I was training at the local gym where my parents would drop me off and come back 2-4 hours later. I would train, have a protein shake, do homework and then if my parents weren't there yet, I'd get on the bike and pedal. I recall once waiting for them as they did holiday shopping and I pedaled a marathon on an old exercise bike, AFTER my regular training. I didn't get … [Read more...]
They Said “Slow Down, You’re Working Too Hard.” THEY. ARE. WRONG.
Every morning I rise early. Before the dogs went to get out of their own beds. Before the sun has risen. I get the Coffee going for myself and my wife. I begin writing. My writing comes from my inner fire, which I began to recognize in myself as soon as I began lifting weights, circa June of 1989. The emotions that came from training were a mixture of many feelings; Anger, Safety, Confidence, Intensity, Passion, Loneliness, Bonding, Aggression and then some....... The majority of … [Read more...]
