John Grimek Workout + Strength Training in Your 40s

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

It is always inspiring to me when I dig up my old muscle magazines from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Those photos of John Grimek, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, etc simply exude strength. These men had physiques that proved what could be done with a few hard training sessions each week, while eating a well balanced diet. Meat, Eggs, Fish, Veggies, Fruits and some carbs. Simple. Not easy. John Grimek, pictured above is in his late 40s. Look at his back. His body is a symbol of work. WORK; The very thing … [Read more...]

3 Reasons Squats Can Cure The All Too Common Complaining Syndrome

by Zach Even - Esh 10 Comments

  Does that person REALLY need to complain about ________? The answer? Probably not. What good does complaining REALLY do for anyone? Any time somebody complains to me about something that has NOTHING to do with them and matter of fact doesn't hurt them or anyone else, all I can think to myself is..... If this person would experience some struggles, like some 20 rep gut check squats, they would be minding own business! … [Read more...]

Do You Ever Feel Like You Don’t Fit In? GOOD!

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

I feel like I just don't fit into this world anymore. Do you ever feel like that? I recall that feeling many times as a kid and a teenager. MANY times. When I do feel normal, I am with the Wrestling Coaches at Rutgers or training the team. I am in the 90+ degree Underground Strength Gym drenched in sweat, training athletes who see the hard work, the intensity and the struggle as "normal". These people see the work as the gift! I feel normal when I am among Strength Coaches who talk … [Read more...]

Don’t Play The Age Card & My 40th Birthday Workout

by Zach Even - Esh 10 Comments

I was on the phone with my buddy, AJ Roberts, a former world record holder in Powerlifting while he was a member at Westside Barbell, aka The Strongest Gym in the World. We were talking training, life, business, the usual..... We got to the training talk and I mentioned something about how I feel and he said, "Oh man, you're already playing that age card!" He was right. I was 38 or 39 at the time and I made up some poor excuse about training, how I feel because of my age and then proceeded … [Read more...]

The DE Evolution of Man

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

The DE Evolution of Man is going in a bad direction, and that's putting things lightly. Worst of all, it's moving TOO fast in that downward slope.

The stress of life nowadays, the constant sitting in front of a computer, the lack of intensity and passion for exercise, too many carbs, not enough healthy fats and proteins... They are ALL … [Read more...]
