STRONG Life 324: My Day in Prison: Lessons in Strength & Life

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

STRONG Life Podcast ep 324 In 2006 I was able to connect with a LT who worked at East Jersey Prison, aka Rahway State Prison. This is the prison where the move Lock Up was filmed with Sylvester Stallone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sA3ID_1K60 I was connected with the LT from a friend and we hopped on the phone (landline back then!) to discuss my hopes of being able to visit the prison and chat with some inmates about their training programs while in prison. He said he could … [Read more...]

Strength Coach & Strength Training Lessons Learned Since 1989

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

It was June of 1989 when I began lifting weights in my brother's room. For a year, perhaps even 2 years, I was already intrigued with getting strong and building my body. I would read the bodybuilding books and magazines my brother had before I even began training. Unfortunately, those books were bodybuilding based. There were NO performance based training books available at the book stores. Unless I completely ignored them and only read what captured my attention. When I began coaching at a … [Read more...]

5 x 5 Strength Training QnA

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Where did the 5 x 5 program originate from? Well, it's been around for DECADES. To my knowledge, Reg Park started the 5 x 5 program. As 1 of the strongest bodybuilders ever, and, a man who could bench 500 lbs, I actually NEVER recall reading about 5 x 5 in my teen years. And I read EVERY bodybuilding magazine and a TON of bodybuilding books. I WISH I came across this program in my high school years. I was too busy doing pump up bull shyt. Although I DO recall a kid I used to lift with … [Read more...]

7 Strength Training / Coaching Mistakes that Hurt Athletes

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

I'm gonna kick this off with something that might sound like arrogance, but in truth, it's me taking pride in what we do and the results we've been delivering since day 1, 2002 garage days. I used to get hated on for how we trained but I look back and feel even those early days, even as imperfect as it all was, it was VERY EFFECTIVE. It was effective because we crushed the basics. We developed athletes, NOT just athletes who could lift heavy weights. These athletes were succeeding in every … [Read more...]

Gladiator Bodybuiliding of the 60s & 70s

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

The Golden Era of Bodybuilding (the 70s) brought on the high volume approach to training. Before this, many of these men trained 3 x week with a full body workout, which is STILL a GREAT program. Men like Steve Reeves built amazing physiques that are still the highest standard for today. Many bodybuilders followed Arnold's lead of 2 workouts a day with the entire body being split across 3 workouts. Arnold changed the scene of bodybuilding not just with his physique, but his charisma. He … [Read more...]
