The ONLY Rule: There are NO Rules
When I first began trianing my dungeon garage my only rule was, "There are NO Rules." I was tired of being confined to routine and rules when I was training in a commercial gym setting. I have learned that there is no 1 tool or 1 way to make things happen - there are many ways. On the flip side, there are ways that are much better than others. But if all you do is follow the rules, you will not exceed your boundaries or the limitations people tell you about. Break the rules and start … [Read more...]
Underground Strength Gym High School Pull Up Contest
A few of the high school bruddahs needed a lil' extra motivation so i decided to crank an unannounced pull up contest to win our latest Underground T Shirts. You'll see they ALL hit double digits. What's more important is that not long ago, some of these kids were only performing 3 pull ups with less than stellar technique. One of these athletes was not able to perform ONE pull up! Remember Kids: Eat Your Pull Ups for Breakfast! Check the vid and drop a comment, show some luv! I do pull … [Read more...]
Jersey Shore Challenge III: Bodyweight Training with Pull Ups & Peg Board Climbing
Redemption Time. I just got my ass kicked during the brutal Jersey Shore Challenge conditioning circuit. Pauly Reddick of course verbally abuses me and I used my bread and butter to redeem myself: The Pull Up. The Peg Board, well, that's another story. I tried this when I first got to their gym and it was rough. AFTER the workout, somehow, someway, I got it a bit. A little practice and I can kick that peg board's ass. I am inspired by Vision Quest, a movie that shows my … [Read more...]
Jersey Shore Strength Adventures
Last week I took a journey 45 minutes south to the beautiful Jersey shore. My buddy Mike Stehle runs a kick ass training center HERE. The awesome thing about Mike's place is not just the set up and the equipment, it's the atmosphere he creates combined with the ability to train outdoors while breathing in the fresh, ocean air. His gym is literally a few blocks from the beach - it's VERY powerful to train while breathing in this air and it feels great. But this time around, it felt more like … [Read more...]
Another One Bites the Dust….from Bodyweight Training!
In a way I am shocked yet on the flip side, NOT so shocked. Last week we had 3 different athletes throw up, simply from TWO bodyweight exercises, both of which are in Bodyweight University. It was the first 10 minutes of the workout nonetheless. The problem is, I have high expectations, or maybe not, you tell me when you post your comment. There are FAR too many athletes, even high level athletes, who can not handle even the simplest workout using bodyweight exercises. Last week … [Read more...]
