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...]
Golden Era Strength & Muscle Building Lessons from Irvin “Zabo” Koszewski

Irvin “Zabo” Koszewski was one of my favorite bodybuilders from the early days of The Golden Era so I wanted to make a video on how he inspired me, how he tra … [Read more...]
Squats & My Strength Training Philosophy As I Get Older
Here's an excerpt from my updated version of The Underground Strength & Performance Manual (Almost Finished!). Make The Rep or Die….. I never saw anyone miss a rep in the squat until the internet came around. Not once in the gym did I see a guy bail out on a squat and we’re talking age 13 until my late 20s, guys squatting 4, 5 and 6 plates per side. Spotters knew how to spot and lifters were focused. It’s hard to focus when you kinda think you can or maybe you can’t. Check that phone … [Read more...]

5 Reasons Why Changing Lives Is The MINIMUM “Effective Dose” If You’re a Coach
Around 2010 or so I remember setting a goal to change the lives of 1 Million People through STRENGTH. It was, at the time, a BIG goal for me. I had written this goal on a small white board in my office and I looked at the "Pay it Forward" model. I imagined if I could educate and certify Thousands of Underground Strength Coaches, they could inspire and educate others in our quest to change 1 million lives. No man climbs a mountain alone. I posted an … [Read more...]

If you're a pitcher, do you need to run 2-3 miles after a game to "get rid of the lactic acid in your arm"? If you're a shot putter / thrower, do you and the entire spring track team need a 5K warm up? Every Day? If you're a freshman in high school and play Football, should you train the same as the upperclassmen and get tested on your 1 RM for the Squat, Bench and Clean? Training doesn't need to be complicated but people are making it complicated simply by NOT using common sense and … [Read more...]
