He would crank intense workouts for 20 minutes, going for maximum rounds. The workouts would give an ass whoopin' to ALL of us. The Rutgers Wrestling Team is learning ALL about these Density Workouts as we crank many of our workouts based on time. It forces you to push the pace, minimize rest and in turn, mental toughness improves along … [Read more...]
Overhead Lifting Mayhem & Shoulder Health
I have a SERIOUS passion for all types of lifting, but, I especially LOVE throwing weights overhead, ALL types of weights. Remember, I'm a SOUL Lifter, rules need NOT apply.

The variety keeps you from getting bored and each overhead press is slightly different than the next. Your mind must stay focused to handle the details of each … [Read more...]
The Underground Kettlebell Assault
What can I say, I LOVE Kettlebell training. I've loved them since the day I started ripping into them in my bare bones garage when I first started the creation of The Underground Strength Gym. Every Kettlebell workout kicked my ass and pushed me unlike any other training tool I ever used.

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...]

I've seen Martin Bench Press 315 for a solid 6 reps and he weighs around 200 lbs, lean and mean. The regular practice of sprints and bodyweight training have had a … [Read more...]
