Got 60 seconds? Good, check this out and then go do something...BIG! I have been doubted, bad mouthed, told by countless people not to, should not, could not, can not, too young, too old, wrong place, wrong time, wrong this, wrong that, wait for this, wait for that, take it slow, baby steps, don;t, can't, won't, shouldn't..... No one has stopped me, and no one will stop me. There is NO can't, won't or impossible. I BELIEVE! Do you?!?! Dedicated to your success, --Z-- P.S. - Wanna make things … [Read more...]

Tour inside my home office
I recieve many e mails regarding how I have attained success so quickly and especially more e mails on why I am such a go getter and so positive. Well, without a doubt, my past has shaped my future....things I have gone through in the past have helped me become who I am today. Taking things to the next step is thanks to the many people you will see on my book shelves. With our baby boy on the way soon, my office was moved down stairs...it's pretty cool down here. I was worried it would be … [Read more...]

Why I’m The Anti Purist When It Comes To Training Methods & What REALLY Matters?
I'm an anti purist when it comes to strength and performance training. I don't use only one training tool or only one training method. Why? Simple: I am a purist when it comes to training for Results. Results are THE only thing that matters..... … [Read more...]
Eagles Fly Alone
Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the chaos of "life", so you make things easier on yourself and begin following everyone else. Or, maybe that's not so easy. What sparked this topic today on an early Sunday morning? Most notably, I see a handful of law enforcement personnel training at the gym next door: alternate dumbbell curls with light weights, incline smith machine presses, lat pulldowns...the typical wimpy stuff. Then, we have a few who train at The Underground in Edison, NJ. The … [Read more...]
Another “Goosebumps” Video
** The video above has inappropriate language for the younger ages ** When I watch the video above I get goosebumps. This speech doesn't only apply to Football, it's EVERYWHERE in life, anywhere you choose to apply this lesson you can. The reason why I am so passionate and have come to this place of spreading and sharing my experiences in strength is because I had regrets as a youngster. I fought hard with serious depression and fought hard to discover the ways to come out on top, with no … [Read more...]
THE Video that Gives Me Goose Bumps
My words won't do justice, so let me make my words brief here... Just watch this video and when you're done, I want you to take immediate action on something you have always wanted to do, but for some odd reason, you always made an excuse for. I am so pumped from this video, so now it's time to work on a project and kick some serious ass. I am exhausted, it's 10: 15 PM at night, been working since 7 AM, but F**K it, I ain't stopping, no quitting, I want the best and this means believing, … [Read more...]
How The Viking, Jon Pall Sigmarsson Inspires The Underground Strength Gym
I have recently watched the documentary on The Viking, Jon Pall Sigmarsson. It's an amazing tribute to one of the most dominant World's Strongest Man Champions. What a pure beast this man was. He unfortunately passed at the young age of 32. To see Jon Pall's evolution of training and various forms of strength competition was incredibly inspiring, and you can bet that tomorrow, at My Gym, The Underground Strength Gym, I will be attacking some serious strongman work using Stones, Sandbags … [Read more...]
Squats, Stones & Thick Bars
Last night's workout was a brutal one. By the title of this article, you can guess for yourself it was challenging to say the least. I used a specially designed thick bar for my zercher squats, working up to 325 lbs for 3 reps.The zercher squat is excellent for not only leg strength but for strengthening your entire trunk and core. The zercher squat also gives your lower back a bit of a break from direct spinal loading. In between a few sets I cranked out the essential glute ham raise. … [Read more...]
