3 Reasons To Train Like A SAVAGE

by Zach Even - Esh 13 Comments

Men need to train like uncontrolled savages & stop being so damn pretty when it comes to training & workouts. Start doing this at least SOME of the time. Not all of the time, but 1 x week, make it happen. Intense, Uncomfortable, Tough Workouts are GREAT for the mind AND body. The body is always capable of more, but through those perfect workouts that follow the perfect program design system and the best sets and reps, you NEVER truly develop your Inner Savage. I love telling the … [Read more...]

The Story of The Infamous BIG Curl Bar

by Zach Even - Esh 11 Comments

It was a summer morning in 1990 and I had arrived at my favorite place, The Metuchen YMCA. This wasn't the updated YMCA with their brand new equipment, nicely painted walls and senior citizens aimlessly roaming the gym floor. This was the small basement weight room that was treated like the red headed step child, outfitted with what we call today "old school" York Barbell equipment. Round Head York Dumbbells lined the dumbbell racks while the heavier dumbbells were left scattered on the floor. … [Read more...]

World’s Strongest Athlete 2010, Memories, Gratitude & Times Ahead

by Zach Even - Esh 10 Comments

Team Underground has been competing in Strongman Competitions held by Joe DeFranco since Day 1. I believe the first one was 4 years ago in the parking lot of Joe's Gym. It was held after an Elite FTS Seminar where Jim Wendler & Dave Tate were present. I still remember getting a 600 lb tire 3 or 4 days before the event so our guys could practice the tire flip. The tire was old and grimy and the guys couldn't even grip the tire. It was the beginning stages of The Underground Strength Gym … [Read more...]

2 Bodyweight Jump Training Exercises for Explosive Power

by Zach Even - Esh 25 Comments

Jump training is one of the best and easiest ways to develop explosive power. Jumps also hype the nervous system and a great 'Kick Start" prior to engaging in HEAVY lifting, as you're about to see below :)  If you want someone to be explosive, make no mistake about it, being weak and performing jump training won't help much. Like the athletes in my video above, they started off with the basics to get strong. This meant a TON of bodyweight training. In fact, even with them squatting 475 and … [Read more...]

A Day at DeFranco’s – The Strongman Challenge

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

Yesterday I made the one hour trek up north to my homeboy Joe D's gym, and damn, what a gym it is, I'm in heaven there. The atmosphere is always high octane and steel is always clanging together or being dropped on the floor. It was our 2nd year competing in Joe D's strongman contest, and this year we brought 1 high school athlete and 5 college athletes. Unfortunately, 2 were unable to attend due to injury and family vacation. I had a wedding to attend yesterday and I was big time pressed … [Read more...]
