Muscle Building Formula: Build Strength = Build (A Lot) More Muscle
The amount of complicated BS training is getting out of control. The truth is, it is simple. And, NOT easy. It also takes time. Not months, but YEARS of work. The formula to gaining size? It starts with STRENGTH. If you want to get BIG, then you better plan on getting stronger, period. Heavy weights, low to moderate reps, some high rep sets for finishers, lots of quality food, quality rest, basics, basics, basics. I know, ground breaking, right? Yet on the regular, so many … [Read more...]
Zach’s Strength Workout
Today, I feel like I have trained all day. From the running of the hills with my daughter in her jogger, to a short yet powerful dumbbell workout in my backyard, to the unplanned full body work I did today at my Underground Strength Gymnasium. Here's what I did today with my buddy Grif. Grif warmed up with 2 sets of sled drags and then began squatting. I didn't plan on training but after his squats began the barbell forward lunge, so I decided to jump in. We hit barbell forward lunges for 3 … [Read more...]
Training for MMA and Combat
My gym, The Underground Strength Gymnasium, is connected to an auto garage. On the side of that garage, the owner throws old tires away. Some with the wheel still intact, others just the tire. I snagged a few and helped guys make these tires into sleds. They were happy :) Can you build muscle and build strength through the use of things you might find in a junk yard? You better believe it. Check out the video below and fast forward to the 1 minute mark. I am not too fond of the partial reps … [Read more...]
No Respect for Basic Strength Training? Lift in the Garage
I have had some interesting conversations with Jim Wendler. One in particular struck a chord with me quite heavily. In fact, it has helped mold a process I use at my gym when training new athletes. Jim and I spoke about the lack of respect for the weights nowadays, specifically by those who spend too much time on the internet and at these fancy gyms. I see how kids casually skip workouts that their parents pay for without a care in the world. I see how countless high school athletes don’t … [Read more...]
I speak the truth…
Just got an e mail earlier today asking about my thoughts regarding the Lifeline Kettlebells and The Power Wheel. First off, I will never promo something I do not believe in, or something that you can not benefit from. I have a few of the Lifeline K-bells and wish I had these earlier. They freaking rock. They do not have a glossy finish, they fit perfectly and the price is right. The power wheel is a regular in my own workouts as well as our athletes. Lots of handwalks and roll outs, and some … [Read more...]
Muscle Building Back in My Early Days…
When I first began setting up shop in my new home, in my 2 car garage, I was starting fresh. A brand new life of weight lifting. No more lame gyms, crappy music, depressing environments and finally, NO more rules! The energy was awesome, whether I trained alone or with a friend, it was like being in Heaven, I can only imagine :) This got me feeling like I was starting my training all over again, age 13, back at the OLD Metuchen YMCA. It was a hardcore place, lots of rusty York olympic … [Read more...]
