You just saw a little insight into some training that I've been going through over the past 2 weeks. You'll see a mixture of: - Strongman Training / Atlas Stone Lifting - Old School / Golden Era Bodybuilding - Speed Training via Box Jumps, Speed Deadlifts + bands with varied stances - Kettlebell training via high rep swings Training is feeling overall pretty darn good minus the shoulder, so, I am laying low on overhead pressing and full range benching. When I perform dumbbell and barbell … [Read more...]
Monday Motivation: Tribute to The Underground
Here's an e mail / video I received a few days ago. Check out this kid's story and his video, it blows me away! Hey Zach, My name is Vince and I have been following the Underground Training Methods for about a year now and am extremely happy with my results.

Hopefully it … [Read more...]
Return of The Golden Era Bodybuilding Workout
Golden Era bodybuilding is a far cry from many of the bodybuilding methods of today. Today we see circus tricks and pump up weights. The lack of strength focused work is why the bodybuilders of The Golden Era had that thick, dense, rugged physique. The bodybuilders of today rely on chemical warfare rather than building a physique that stays with you for a lifetime. The Golden & Silver Era bodybuilders focused on free weights, heavy lifting, hard work on the basics and no fads or … [Read more...]

My first Underground Strength Coach Cert of 2011 is in Fort Faulderdale. 20 people can attend and since the cert is on sale now ($400 off) we've already have several sign ups. Sign … [Read more...]

One BadAss Book: ‘The 4 Hour Body’ Book Review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIVmsIJyj3A The trailer pumped me up BIG time. I won't lie. I wanted to Deadlift HEAVY and run FAST as soon as I saw this Video. Sometimes, the trailer is better than the movie, or in this case, the book. https://youtu.be/gm68avm3UVA But, NOT this time. This time, Tim Ferriss kicked some major ass in his latest book, 'The 4 Hour Body'. It was a Friday night in NYC. I was meeting up with my homeboy, BMack, the Mastermind behind CrossFit … [Read more...]
Mobility, Prehab and Rehab – Exposing Your Weakness
Last weekend I had an AMAZING time chillin' AND learning from my homeboy, K Star. I attended his Mobility Cert and it was THE MOST practical seminar I have ever been to. The amount of understanding and conceptual knowledge you gain from this cert is downright crazy. By the way, K Star has got perhaps one of the most BadAss Gyms known to human kind, there are NO walls, no showers and no pretty bathrooms... instead, you'll find the fresh air, TONS of weights from free weights to odd objects to … [Read more...]

The Videos have fired me UP as well as fired up many people around the world!!! The videos submitted for Underground contests in the past were often very cut and dry, you saw them, and you knew which ones were THE most inspiring. Well, this … [Read more...]
