I am in shock at how people behave and hurt others with zero consideration. I feel like I need a "deload" after shopping yesterday. 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...]

How to Squat: DEEP Squats and Dinosaurs – Are BOTH Extinct?

by Zach Even - Esh 18 Comments

Walk into a typical high school weight room and you'll see a 1 rep max test on the squat every month. Typically, you'll see kids hitting 315 to 495 on the squat. Kids that weigh 185 lbs are doing this, some weight 135 lbs and squat 315. Amazing. On the bar is a THICK Pad to cushion the back. The thick pad replaces the need to build up the traps. After all, who needs a set of BIG, thick traps to support the neck and reduce chances of neck injuries while playing football? Perhaps you'll … [Read more...]

No Respect for Basic Strength Training? Lift in the Garage

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

I have had some interesting conversations with Jim Wendler. One in particular struck a chord with me quite heavily. In fact, it has helped mold a process I use at my gym when training new athletes. Jim and I spoke about the lack of respect for the weights nowadays, specifically by those who spend too much time on the internet and at these fancy gyms. I see how kids casually skip workouts that their parents pay for without a care in the world. I see how countless high school athletes don’t … [Read more...]

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

I have been getting back to my roots lately, even with my time crunched workouts, I'm hitting the underground bodybuilding methods and it's paying off big time. When I use the term "Underground", those early … [Read more...]
