I have many more videos to share regarding last weekend's powerlifting seminar so hang tight for these :) The seminar seriously blew me away and I am still shocked at how many coaches and lifters didn't want to invest their time or money … [Read more...]
The X Factor
I am psyched by all the feedback I got from the last Blog on kickin' ass in life AND lifting, of course, I had my fair share of cry babies e mail me, but that's fine, come's with the territory. Remember, you can't make everyone happy. If your goal is trying to please everyone you are likely holding back and playing it safe. What I do and what I speak about is NOT for everyone, it is for a select group of people who want to challenge themselves BIG time while growing both mentally and … [Read more...]
Mobility, Prehab and Rehab – Exposing Your Weakness
Last weekend I had an AMAZING time chillin' AND learning from my homeboy, K Star. I attended his Mobility Cert and it was THE MOST practical seminar I have ever been to. The amount of understanding and conceptual knowledge you gain from this cert is downright crazy. By the way, K Star has got perhaps one of the most BadAss Gyms known to human kind, there are NO walls, no showers and no pretty bathrooms... instead, you'll find the fresh air, TONS of weights from free weights to odd objects to … [Read more...]
SEAL Fit, Getting My Ass Kicked & Pushing the Envelope
I've been following some of the workouts from SEAL Fit this past week and adapting them slightly to my own according to injuries and my infancy to the program. My volume is WAY less than they recommend, and those LONG distance ruck walks seem nuts but I'll get into some of their methods more and more with each passing week. Once the rain stops here in The Dirty Jer-Z I'm gonna ride my mountain bike to Uncle Mike's gym, crank a workout then ride home, it will be a solid initial test with … [Read more...]

Back to My Roots
I recently stopped at my parent's pad to get some "work" done before tearing it up at The Underground Strength Gym. This is where it ALL began, training athletes and training myself from my parents home. I began my journey as a strength coach and eventually a warehouse gym owner right HERE. I had a few pieces of equipment I snagged from the newspaper classifieds, the local playgrounds and the stones in my parents backyard. Sounds simple but damn did this basic training produce powerful … [Read more...]
Underground Playground Assault + Building Bad MFers

This is what I thrive on: shitty conditions, no equipment, no gym..... this is how I began and this is where I was, all over again, 8 years later.
