I came across some throwback Kettlebell videos from the early days of The Underground and back when my videos were The Underground Strength Show.

My YouTube channel started in 2006 - it is now 2026, and I am STILL posting content, still writing, still living my truth.

Honestly, sometimes I feel like I got "too smart" and the training lost a touch of creativity, intensity and grit.

Keeping up with YouTube etc today is f--king HARD! Paying a videographer is CrAzY expensive and honestly, it doesn't end there. Then you need ads, then this, then that. That's the "Game".

But, maybe the only way to WIN the game is to NOT play the game. All I can do is share the REAL Work. Nothing fancy. And, what we do at The Underground has been proven to work since day 1, starting in 2002.

Check out these throwback Underground kettlebell videos out and put them to the test yourself.

I want to hear your feedback in the comments section! Do the work!

The car push and kettlebells were inspired by early day's World's Strongest Man as well as videos of Dr. Ken Leistner training athletes.

You can find those videos on the blog as well as inside The Underground Strength Academy HERE. 

Tough and Effective!

Make it happen!
