Once in a blue moon you come across an athlete or a gym rat who, as some of us may have said, is "Built like a Brick S**t House". In my countless years of getting under the bar (Training Since 1989), traveling the world and being in countless gyms I have seen my fair share of lifters who are TRULY built like BEASTS. You know the look I'm talking about if you've seen the lifters who have spent 10+ years consistently lifting heavy. It's that Powerful look, thick, densely built muscles that you … [Read more...]
Upper Body Workout for Breakfast
On most Sunday Mornings I wake up before the entire house starts moving. I get dressed, brush teeth and head to The Underground. Sunday morning workouts keep me ahead of the pack, keep my edge and allow me to train and do something extra while the rest of the world is still sleeping. The Military Press is a GREAT way to start your day, especially on a Sunday morning. Locking heavy weights overhead forces your entire body to work overtime. Want REAL "core strength"? Lock heavy weights overhead … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Inspiration Contest

Today, we have thousands of articles and several hundred videos on file, a forum that houses thousands and thousands of workouts ranging from my personal workouts, my athletes workouts, workouts of other coaches and their athletes spanning the entire globe.

Enjoy the audio interrogation with Coach Mark Rippetoe. Apologies for the little static during the first 2 minutes but it clears up after the 2 minute mark.

It is what I would call EPIC!!". … [Read more...]
The Art of Living

If you have good stuff to add about YOUR 'Art of Living', feel free to drop a line! Peace --Z-- PS: This is perhaps the BIGGEST success that comes from attending The Underground Strength Coach … [Read more...]
The ONE Exercise You MUST DO
Wanna get strong as Hell? Or, in Dan John's words, "this one exercise will make you awesome" Watch this short video. That's me, throwing around a 130 lb dumbbell. The movement: The 1 Arm Dumbbell Clean & Press. Equally awesome with a barbell. I suggest you do it. And do it often. Remember, for REAL world results, you gotta train with intensity, passion, a plan and you need to move weight. Be a BEAST. Become the Hunter, NOT the hunted. Till the next time.... --Z-- … [Read more...]

Dan John Inspired Workout
I am NOT an Olympic Lifter so don't cry over my shitty power clean technique. The mere fact that you are about to be ripping weights off the ground and throwing it overhead counts BIG time. Check this Vid, Kids.... After you warm up, get a light weight on the bar, for me, I stayed at 135 lbs. Perform the following reps: 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 8, 5, 3, 2 Rest periods were 1 minute maximum, on the lower rep sets I rested 30 seconds. This workout busted me up REAL Nice :) Back in the day, the … [Read more...]
