STRONG Life BONUS | Zach Gets Interviewed on The Hard Life Podcast

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

I had a GREAT time being interviewed on Doug Hershberger's Podcast, The Hard Life! We're in a world where the majority are busy making excuses, whining, complaining and blaming. People of ALL ages get offended by hard work. In fact, when you coach them through a tough workout, they perceive this as He doesn't like me. Or...... Don't you DARE tell an athlete that he cheated on the training. He will say, Everyone else did it. I have ZERO interest in being like "everyone … [Read more...]

The Benefits of High Rep Bodyweight Training

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

​After going through my Bodyweight Bodybuilding course for some edits, reviews and updates, I changed up some programming for the athletes at The Underground Strength Gym.  1 of those updates​ was organizing their extra days with more volume of bodyweight squats. Yes, the simple bodyweight squat! I will post a photo below with that sample "extra day" along with some video footage. So make sure you read the entire article.... Now, almost 20 years ago I recall studying Indian Wrestling … [Read more...]

Don’t Complicate Your Training: Strong is STRONG & Training is TRAINING

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

 Training doesn't need to be complicated to be effective. Growing up in the 80s and 90s gave me insight to the times of YMCA weight rooms filled with York Barbell Equipment and men who were built like brick sh*t houses. I got to see a state championship Football team crushing the basics in a dump of a weight room while playing The Rocky IV soundtrack day after day. Their success was NO accident: They crushed the basics with consistency AND intensity. I saw my Wrestling Coach doing 10 sets of … [Read more...]

Talking Smart VS BUILDING Agile, Mobile & Hostile Athletes

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

Your training program can look the fanciest, have the most precise percentages listed and look awesome on paper, but..... If the program is NOT followed with: Technique Intensity Aggression Passion Then it doesn't matter how Bulgarian, Russian or whatever your program is. I've seen this way too often, Coaches and lifters obsessing over what the program looks like on paper. Don't show me how this looks on paper, show me what you DO in the weight room and how it has carry … [Read more...]

The Problem with Perfect Workouts & Weak People

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

I often wonder how a Strength Coach thinks in his early days of coaching athletes. For me, when I began training athletes, I was viewed as an outcast. Seriously...... Coaches were training on Bosu Balls, using the Functional Trainer cable, wearing collared shirts tucked in all neat and there I was, having kids carrying stones, pushing trucks and sprinting up hills. In my concerns, I had a friend send me his training program for a wrestler. He was a highly certified Coach with all the letters … [Read more...]

Box Squats vs Free Squats?

by Zach Even - Esh 13 Comments

The argument of box squats vs free squats is endless. With the box squat you must sit back and then you literally pull yourself up using primarily hamstring work. At the bottom of the box squat your shins are parallel, while at the bottom of a free squat or weightlifting squat, your knees will often be angled forward and you are going to parallel or lower. The free squat hits more quads and more overall leg work. Here are my thoughts on box squats vs free squats..... … [Read more...]
