The Combat Conditioning Playground Workout, AKA, Damage Inc
Try this workout below, in the video. It's an oldie but a goody, a blast from the past dating back to the original days of The Underground where most of my workouts were outdoors mixing Bodyweight, Kettlebells, Sleds, Playground training, etc. Get as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes.

Who was that Freak?
Today I was passing by my old middle school that I used to attend back in the late 80's. Wow that was a long time ago. I remember listening to music on casette for crying out loud. I also remembered a guy who was a bit scarey to me and my friends yet I was totally intrigued by him. It just hit me today after all these years because I passed by his house last night. After school, while walking home, there was a house around the corner from the middle school. The driveway had … [Read more...]

The Competition and the Battle
At The Underground Strength Gymnasium we hold regular competitions amongst the members. These are unannounced battles and they really hype up the crew at hand to step it up. Noone likes to lose and sometimes a loss exposes their weak area(s) and makes them work smarter AND harder towards filling those gaps. Our last contest was a pull up contest. The winners received a Captains of Crush Hand Gripper. Pull ups are like squats for the upper body. They're amazing at developing strength and … [Read more...]
Old School vs New School!
It's the famous saying, "What's old is new again." I never invented the training with odd objects, or anything else I have done or am using. There have certainly been new ways in program design and physiological feedback thanks to state of the art equipment, but the boat most people have missed is consistency, effort and regularity of the basics and progressive overload. The design of the program is key, because when it organized optimally (notice I never said perfectly as there is no such … [Read more...]
