Strength Training Confusion, How Much Volume & THE Haters

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...]

Inside Mike Mentzer’s Heavy Duty Book & Training Methods

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I came across Mike Mentzer's training methods as a kid. In fact, if memory serves me properly, I began reading about Mike Mentzer around age 11. You see, I would read my older brother's bodybuilding books and magazines for 2 years before I actually began training. I began training in June of 1989 but leading up to that point, I would dabble in lifting the weights my brother had in his room. It was strange to me that I would lift weights for 2 or 3 weeks and then quit. I thought something was … [Read more...]

STRONG Life Insider: The Development of Muscular Bulk & Power

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

From Anthony Ditillo's Book, The Development of Muscular Bulk and Power There is something about bulk and power training that invades your very soul. It is extremely hard to put into words. The exercise movements themselves are quite simple to perform. The routines one must utilize in order to gain rapidly that much sought after strength are not especially interesting or dynamic in appearance. All in all, powerlifting and bulk training is a rather mechanical robot like procedure, which is … [Read more...]

Safety Squat Bar VS The Straight Bar Squat for Athletes: Strength & Shoulder Health + 3 Week Squat Cycle

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Above, Mark Chaillet Squats - Photo from Purposeful Primitive / Marty Gallagher After a recent squat workout with the athletes at The Underground Strength Gym, I began having a more serious conversation in my own mind regarding the use of the conjugate method, more specifically, how often to switch the safety squat bar vs the straight bar for squats with athletes, specifically, high school athletes. I share my thoughts in the videos below and in conversation form which you can also see … [Read more...]

“Different Training” for Strength, Size & Toughness

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Yesterday I was so fired up from reading a newspaper article about Karate Legend, Gary Alexander training harder than most people half his age at age 81, so of course, I HAD to try it myself. Gary Alexander was a Karate instructor where I grew up in Edison, NJ in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Today, he is in his 80s, STILL training like a madman. Here's his current regime: With scuba fins on his feet, Alexander does 100 laps, mostly on his back, alternating with freestyle strokes. The … [Read more...]

TIME

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

TIME. It's something I think about constantly. That right there is a red flag. They say if you fear death then you are not living fully. Red Flag....... You see, I remember being 6 years old, riding my big wheel with friends like it was yesterday. I remember mountain biking with my friends all Summer long when I was 22 like it was yesterday, except that was half my life time ago. How does half a life time pass by in what seems to be minutes? Today, my days are filled with work and the … [Read more...]

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

In this live Instagram I chat about the following: Minimalist Training, Social Media Posts for Likes vs Impact & Training to be Dangerous. With my current hectic schedule it reminded me of my mid 20s when I went on a 2x week training program while going through grad school (1 hr commute each way), teaching full time, coaching wrestling and not wanting to give up my membership at Diamond Gym which was a 30 minute drive each way. Below are the topics I discuss. Enjoy the show...... … [Read more...]
