"Most of you won't be successful because when you're tired, you QUIT" "Sleep is for those people who are BROKE" "ALL Men are created equal but some work harder in the pre-season" #TRUTH: Not sure why, but I get fired up when I hear peeps TALK about wanting success yet they just don't DO shit to get there! If you're a Strength Coach lacking business success or you're simply NOT where you want to be, then you gotta DO something about, stop complaining, whining and crying and start DOing.... … [Read more...]
Monday Motivation – Arnold’s 6 Secrets to Success
It's NOT Monday but f**k it, success waits for NO man and I don't wanna wait till Monday to unleash the motivation! Besides, this is a critical video I wanted to share it pronto, Ryan Riess, a kick ass Underground Strength Coach in Washington shared it with me. I used to watch Pumping Iron on VHS over and over and over..... not sure how that VHS tape survived! I used to keep taking out 'The Education of a Bodybuilder' in high school, sophomore year - senior year, over and over and OVER again. … [Read more...]
THE Underground Strength Gym – What REALLY Happened?
Soooo.... what REALLY goes down at The Underground Strength Gym? I am often asked.... I am a lucky guy, I won't deny it. I LOVE what I do and love it even more when I'm sweating bullets and my hands are covered in rust from old plates and dirt from 450 & 600 lb tractor tires. As they say though, successful people make their own luck, but what is often forgotten is how they learned what they now know..... … [Read more...]
Hurricane Irene Bodyweight Workout
Above, Dennis Tinnerino.... old school bodybuilding, olympic lifting and bodyweight workouts. Put em' all together and you've got yourself a BEAST Well, I think that Hurricane Irene has passed through Manasquan, NJ now. Yesterday I cranked a bodyweight workout IN my garage and it was awesome. I use simple equipment in my garage: Barbell, Squat Rack, Wooden Rings, Climbing Rope and some Kettlebells (I have them at The Underground Strength Gym AND my garage at home) and that's ALL I needed for … [Read more...]
The TRUTH About Bodyweight Workouts
Franco Columbu was a BEAST when it came to pull ups. He cranked them from all angles AND added weight to them as well. High reps AND low reps. Reminds me of my OLD Bodybuilding training partner.... We almost always began our workouts with chins and progressed to weighted chins. He would build up to chin ups with THREE 45 lb plates strapped to a weight belt. His back was THICK! It freaked people out! Heavy Chins and HEAVY barbell rows were his ticket. Back to the legend of Franco … [Read more...]
Good Times Lie Ahead
"Better to Live Your Dreams Than to Dream Your Life" The USC Cert is a life changing weekend, for those who attend and for myself. I get to meet hungry Strength Coaches.... hungry to turn their passion into profits with a burning desire to leave behind a life that feels unfulfilled with a job that makes them miserable. Been there and done that and it damn near killed me. I am NOT a believer in "Just Do It" without some planning and a strong foundation. I DO, however, believe in … [Read more...]

Passion, Got Some?
If you let your passion slide then you might as well be dead. Question for YOU: Have you let go of something that you were once passionate about because of some Bull Shit excuse? Step UP & get it rolling again. Be accountable, drop a comment, tell the world what you're gonna do to bring your passion back to life again! Peace! --Z-- PS: When I was 13 I KNEW I was gonna open a gym.... a hardcore gym..... I NEVER let the dream go. When I was in elementary and middle school I was die hard for my … [Read more...]
Express YOself, Part II
Do what you feel & feel what you do. I was definitely feelin' the urge to move heavy objects on this day. Kettlebells have been feeling GREAT and have helped my shoulder feel 100 X better! Almost every workout has some form of windmills or bent pressing involved, whether it be the warm up OR the workout, I work those Kettlebells! My focus on Bodyweight Strength is on a whole new level lately, I'm pushing hard to get the muscle ups down, on the bar AND rings. Back when I had college … [Read more...]
