by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

This is an in depth video on answering the common questions, misconceptions on volume training vs low volume training (especially if you're a natural lifter or a competitive athlete) and then I address the haters. It all began after 2 posts were made on Instagram. The first post was on Kevin Tolbert, which you can see below. As of my writing, there are almost 100 comments which is not the norm for my social media which doesn't get much action. … [Read more...]

5 Tips for Training Athletes for Strength AND Toughness

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

There's a lot of chatter going on regarding training athletes for speed and strength. Some coaches feel we're not doing enough speed / sprint work. Others realize that MANY athletes are too weak to sprint properly. And, have we forgotten? We need athletes to be TOUGH. Give kids an opportunity to train on their own in a weight room today and you'll see some benching and lots of "chest work" and of course, lots of curls. NO back training. NO DEEP Squats.

High Rep Squats to Man UP!

by Zach Even - Esh 24 Comments

Above, Greg Leistner squats 500 lbs for reps as Dad, Dr. Ken spots Sometimes you feel the need to kick your own ass.... At least I feel that way. I hope I am the norm and NOT the exception. I gotta make sure I still have that mental edge and pushing yourself into new territories of pain through training, especially high rep squats, will push you over the edge, trust me :) High rep squats are like the 'Man UP Medicine" - something about squats that cures almost everything in a WEAK Man. … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Show Ep. 104: Inspiration from Dr. Ken

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

I'm a BIG fan of the good ol' days when strength was a priority. When strength is your goal you have no problems putting on size. Squats were ass to grass and deadlifts were common place. Today, everyone says they have "bulging discs" and have more excuses than ever before. The bodybuilders of The Golden Era didn't just look strong, they were strong. They walked the talk. It wasn't chemical warfare back then, it was HARD WORK. I snagged myself a dozen or so old school bodybuilding … [Read more...]
