Why Some Athletes Are NOT Tough!?!?

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

This blog post will evolve as I evolve but for now, I am standing my ground on something I have picked up on tremendously over the past few years. I've learned this when it comes to understanding why some athletes are tough and competitive while others couldn't care less if they lost / lose over and over again. After working with over 1,000 athletes at The Underground Strength Gym, I've come across kids who simply do NOT care. They will cancel workouts 5 minutes before their schedule, … [Read more...]

Excellence Is Your ONLY Option

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

It goes back to my days of getting my knee injury checked out in high school and Dr. Medina would ask me what I was going to do with my life. WHAT was I going to BE? Of course, at age 16, I had NO clue. I answered him as such and he told me that whatever I do, I will do it to be the best. "I'll tell you what you're going to do, Zach....." … [Read more...]

Lessons From Weightlifters & Weightlifting Inspiration

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

If you read my Encyclopedia of Underground Strength & Conditioning you KNOW I have a HUGE regret, which is that of NOT knowing what weightlifting was back in 1989 when "Andre The Giant" made me cry. I could have had the opportunity to learn weightlifting from 1 of the best from that time. Andre did his own thing while everyone else did a circuit of lat pulldowns, leg extensions, tricep push downs, etc. Andre was in the corner with his squat rack, attacking his barbell with a ferocious … [Read more...]

Even the nicest guy / gal has an inner Warrior spirit.

Tough times are coming. They are always right around the corner in some shape or form. Training in a manner that connects you to your Inner Warrior is not going to be your typical workout.
