28 Years of Lifting: Strength Training In Your 40s & Training As You Get Older

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

This is the article I dreaded ever having to write; "Training as you get older" or "Training in your 40s". Before I move forward, understand, these are my experiences. My experiences don't make anything universal or the end all, be all laws. Other guys my age might have a different training experience under their belt and in turn, they don't have the same mindset or physical experiences. Back up almost 30 years and I began training in June 1989, some 2 weeks before 8th grade ended. I was … [Read more...]

When A Man STOPS Being DANGEROUS

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

I was 18 years old and it was the Summer of 94'. The training and advice I learned back then has stuck with me and shaped my actions dramatically. Why? Because these lessons were forged into my mind and body through TOUGH times. That which is easy will not change you. It's that simple. I had gone through some intense and awesome training that Summer while in Israel. 2 workouts a day, 6 days a week. My training partners were "crazy" but this was our "normal". Joe was training to become a Navy … [Read more...]

STRONG Life 105: Training to Be Dangerous & Why Convenience Is Your Enemy

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

STRONG Life Podcast Episode 105 - Training to Be Dangerous & Why Convenience Is The Enemy. This episode comes to you from a question that came in from a Strength Coach who attended a business seminar I held some 6 or 7 years ago. With my fires charging, I had just handed in my key after clearing out and moving the FIRST ever Underground Strength Gym. It brought to me many memories of the Savages we worked with at The Underground. Here's what I cover inside this 25 minute, power … [Read more...]

Are You A Dangerous Man? SPARTAN Workouts & SPARTAN Mindset

by Zach Even - Esh 8 Comments

To develop a Spartan Mindset, an indomitable spirit, you must challenge yourself through Spartan Workouts. You must train AND live in a way that keeps you dangerous, in your own mind and in the mind of others. This is a Lifestyle, a way of life, NOT just a Spartan workout where you push yourself for an hour and then never apply these lessons to your life. The ultimate mistake is living your entire life in comfort. In turn, you become something that must be avoided your entire life: It … [Read more...]

Deadlifts, Rocky & Navy SEAL Inspiration

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

-- Strength Today VS Strength of Yesterday -- When I was a teenager, strength was measured in numbers. Numbers on the bar. That's all. Then, when I reached my 20s, I began viewing strength differently. I attached strength to more than just the numbers I was lifting. I measured my strength in pain tolerance, in making training partners quit and in going that extra step just when I thought I should stop. … [Read more...]

What To Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing!?

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

Don't be shocked when you read this. We're ALL human. There is weakness in ALL of us. In my mind, weakness is evil, so it pisses me off and inspires me into action. It's 8:15 PM on a Monday night. My gym is over 90 degrees and my energy has been put towards MANY things: Waking up at 5 AM to do work on the beautiful interwebs. Playing Tennis with my kids and losing against my 9 year old daughter (Truth) Driving 45 minutes to the gym and 45 minutes lies ahead of me to get home I'm … [Read more...]

It’s Dangerous Out There & 9 Life Lessons For A STRONG Life

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

Here's some straight talk about LIFE and how to stay STRONG, even when the cards are stacked against you. Pay attention to detail and remember that success leaves clues. You might think this post is jaded or that this is a negative way of thinking, but I've learned in my lifetime to literally always sleep with one eye open. As soon as you relax and think that everything is all good you become vulnerable. I used to NOT think like this. I thought everyone had a heart, everyone was genuine and … [Read more...]

How To Maximize Your Strength Gains & Greatness Through Being Relentless

by Zach Even - Esh 10 Comments

I've been so friggin' inspired and fired up lately that it is ALL firing me up MORE, if you can imagine that. 1 thing that has been coming my way a lot is other Coaches reaching out for my help because they want to make change. They want to transform an average team into an extraordinary team. They want their gym to be filled with motivated athletes who are consistent and aggressive without always needing a reminder to work hard. What I remind them of is that if any of my training is to work, … [Read more...]

Bigger Biceps VS Being Dangerous (And FINALLY Squatting 400+ Lbs Again!)

by Zach Even - Esh 17 Comments

Let me warn you that the language in this video is NOT WFS (Work / Family Safe). Those of you who "get it" understand that when you are doing something with intensity and passion, there are times you need to go to a "dark place" and do what must be done to face your demons. This holds true for the gym and for life. I always tell you, life and lifting, they are one and the same. I explain how things have changed and why I train the way I train at the age of 39. I explain why biceps and a … [Read more...]
