by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Above, The INTEK MODF Trap Bar!  This blog post is an excerpt from my short morning emails that go out via The STRONG Life Newsletter. I must admit, holiday shopping will kick your a**.

About 2 weeks ago I shared some tips on my birthday and received a lot of great feedback. I believe it was 32 tips. Today, I share some random thoughts on Mondays, … [Read more...]

Strength Training for Beginners & Returning to Training After Injury, Time Away, etc

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I've been asked countless times for a beginner strength training program and I've stayed away from this for a long time. Most of my training requires some sort of a background. Some experience. Something! I tell high school athletes and their parents all the time, if you're an athlete, you should at least be doing push ups, curls and sprints on your own.  We've got 2 programs for beginners. High School STRONG is our Off Season Program. This program is for athletes and to be implemented … [Read more...]

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...]

How to Get Stronger & Build Muscle in Your 40s

by Zach Even - Esh 6 Comments

At the time of this writing, my body is on the mend since my knee surgery and blood clot last March, 2021. My knee is not 100% and as we get older, if you have had an injury or a surgery in the past, I believe it is safer to DOUBLE the length of "recovery time" to ensure you don't rush through the full healing process. So if the Doc says 6 months, I do not believe that in 6 months you have the green light to go ALL out. Instead, take months 6 - 12 to rebuild to greater heights. Use … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Training from 1947 + the TOUGH Training of Mas Oyama

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

In the early 2000s when I began Underground Strength, it was truly "Underground". At the time, the "in thing" was training on one leg, on a bosu ball or physio ball. You had to use a medicine ball, rotating, half kneeling and doing what many today consider "circus tricks". That was when "functional training" became the buzz word along with the infamous "core training". Many of the "popular" Coaches laughed at me and made jokes. During an interview one day I remember saying, "I would put my … [Read more...]

Conspiracy Craziness, Upper Body Warm Ups + Specialty Bars for Shoulder Health

It's been a minute since I've posted a new article to the blog, and honestly, I am writing right now because it FEELS good to write. It's a therapy of sorts, similar to how I feel when training. LOTS going on now. I stayed calm and cool with the quarantine but now this craziness in NJ is out of control. I see lines out the door of Dairy Queen, other large chain businesses are packed to the gills and the only thing I ever see getting cleaned, if that's what it is, is a few sprays here and … [Read more...]
