A lot of people telling me they're addicted to the Underground Strength Show! That is insane! And very, VERY humbling. On the flip side, will everyone love or like everything I do or every episode? Heck No! That's life and that's business! You need thick skin if you're gonna put yourself out there. I am not perfect and have many flaws, as does my training. So my advice to you: Whatever you love to do, do it. Don't listen to the naysayers and ignore the jealous ones who will put you down and … [Read more...]
I don’t need no stinkin’ gym!
Today I headed to the playground to kill it an OLD monkey bar type gym. And although I own a gym, I still prefer the outdoors. If I lived in a year round warm weather area, my gym would be constructed with no roof and all outdoor training, very much like the weight pit (the old one) at Muscle Beach where Arnold used to kill it. Check the videos below with a mix of outdoor and indoor training. I know they'll hype you up and give you ideas on how to kill it and begin your very own … [Read more...]
Episode # 59: Caught Dancing!
Let's that finish that upper body workout, shall we? Man, you would think I'd step up the dance moves knowing the camera is on! ha ha This is what happens when the tunes & the atmosphere are pumpin'! Think about what you could do if you have your own Underground style gym. I started in my parent's garage, then bought a house with a 2 car garage and took over the garage. Tell me about your Underground gym, no matter how big or small, let's hear it! Kill it! --Coach Z-- PS: I'm about to … [Read more...]
What did Zach do last weekend?
Last weekend I had the pleasure of instructing the 3rd Underground Strength Coach Certification. Each crew gets crazier and crazier, this crew REALLY blasted through workouts like they were on fire. The coaching they learned and picked up really made me proud! I am beyond honored to be in this position and the guys who came here, 2 from the UK, really make me feel blessed. I put together a highlight reel of their craziness, and much of coursr wasn't caught on film, but these guys got me BAD … [Read more...]
How to Use HEAVY Bodyweight Training & Pulling Power for Brute Strength
I recall having a phone call with Joe DeFranco and he was telling me how one of his Coaches / former athletes, Mike Guadango, was regularly doing heavy, HEAVY 1 rep sets for pull ups. Mike was also performing heavy recline rows with over 100 lbs on a weight vest for sets of 1 - 3 reps. It got me thinking differently about my Bodyweight training and I began looking to turn my Bodyweight training into a system, just like Westside Barbell implements the Conjugate System, with days focused on … [Read more...]
Kill it with me, Playground Assault style!
I'm gonna hit the old playground this week before the REAL cold weather sets in. I'll toss a kettlebell in the back of my truck, a sandbag, some thick rope and the rest will be left up to Mother Nature :) I'm psyched to use the monkey bars, the parallel bars, free room to throw my kettlebell and tear into it any which way I desire. I love throwing kettlebells on the grass field for power development and work capacity. I'll definitely get sprints in there - sprints are undervalued … [Read more...]
Episode # 57: Thank You, Do What You Love & Thank YOU!!
I wanted to send this as a newsletter but my words never come out right when I type so I figured a lil' video will work better. It's day 1 of The Underground Strength Coach Cert and I am home now after dinner with the wrecking crew and I was just getting a little mushy starting to feel honored and blessed and lucky and grateful and everything wrapped into one. Now, I would love to tell you to kill it, as always, but my homeboys from the UK have a different saying.... it's quite bad ass I … [Read more...]
Episode # 56: Blasting with Underground Bodybuilding
Training heavy on a weekend and amped up to move some heavy iron. I love the iron and have always been drawn to it. Machines never excited me to kill it, rusty barbells and dumbbells always felt best in my hands. Other things I love to rip into: - sandbags - tractor tires - anvils - thick ropes - stones - Russian Kettlebells Hardcore gyms might be dying, but hardcore training is alive and well in edison, NJ at The Underground! Tell me where and how you're keeping it hardcore, old school … [Read more...]
Episode 55: Zach gets carried away while watching Bigger, Faster, Stronger
This movie brought back some serious memories, maybe what I talk about hits some old nerves inside of you as well? And by the way, that cheeseburger is from an awesome Nj Diner. If you ever visit NJ you gotta kill it at a diner! Post your comments about the memories you had as a kid that motivated you to get jacked and strong! I am psyched to hear what people say! Kill it! --Coach Z-- PS: Returned from the wrestling club today and we KILLED it with our bodyweight combative drills found … [Read more...]
Episode # 54: Zach goes shopping for Bigger, Stronger, Faster
This is part 1 of my journey to find Bigger, Stronger, Faster. Before this I was actually at a Blockbuster to try to buy the video with no luck, and, thanks to my aggressive nature of wanting things, I refused to drive home until I had the DVD in my hands! Wait till you see what happens once I pop this bad boy into the DVD player! Coming tomorrow! Kill it! --Coach Z-- PS: Wanna REALLY get Bigger, Sronger & Faster? Then check out my home study course at … [Read more...]
