I've been going through my old magazines from the 50s and 60s and really love seeing the nutrition basics. And a few weeks ago, someone sent me my original paper back of The Way to Live, which I recreated into The Russian Lion Power Course.

Everything was so simple and yet so effective when we look at the nutrition and training tips dating back to the Physical Culture era (early … [Read more...]
Gladiator Bodybuiliding of the 60s & 70s
The Golden Era of Bodybuilding (the 70s) brought on the high volume approach to training. Before this, many of these men trained 3 x week with a full body workout, which is STILL a GREAT program. Men like Steve Reeves built amazing physiques that are still the highest standard for today.

Building Stronger, Tougher & Faster Athletes: Eventually, Athletes Need a Heavy Bar on their Back
Times have been changing for quite some time..... Strength training with the basics is just not "cool" anymore.

Now, parents are afraid to send kids to a gym and we have everyone locked down in a "safety bubble" You see, many athletes took it upon themselves to do NOTHING during the COVID … [Read more...]

STRONG Life Insider Ep. 36 | How to Gain 30 lbs of Muscle
In this episode of The STRONG Life Insider I outline the nutrition and training required for the under-sized athlete to get JACKED & STRONG. 1 of the things we've been doing at The Underground Strength Gym for close to 20 years is transforming undersized athletes rapidly. Now, ONLY those who follow through on BOTH training AND nutrition achieve the transformation.

Warrior Diet, Fat Loss & Success Mindset
I had a phone call with my buddy a few weeks ago on the way home from Vermont. My buddy and I check in a few times a week with one another and make sure each of us is kicking ass & taking names.
