329 | When the Mob Ran my Gym: Gaining 20 lbs in 2 Months, Adding 90 lbs to my Bench Press & Mobster Stories
When I began going to the local YMCA as a kid, I rode my bike there. Unlike the kids of today who get a ride to The Underground Strength Gym, even if they live 2 blocks away. My bike ride was a good 15 minutes and I loved it. The fresh air, the excitement of heading to the gym to transform my body and to feel that pump. To me, there was nothing better in life than getting the pump and seeing my body transform in front of the mirror in what seemed like a daily occurrence. Spring and Summer … [Read more...]

PSA: Time to Build TOUGHER Athletes Again
I was training with my old buddy and training partner last week and we started ranting about how much things have changed. When my buddy and I began training together on the regular, he was a teenager and I was 22.

Mid Summer Sale
I hope your training is kicking ass! I gotta tell you, my training is going great. The knee is feeling better and my energy is sky high.

Now that August is upon us, it reminds me how the Summer was always a GREAT time to train. I would ride my … [Read more...]
Inside Mike Mentzer’s Heavy Duty Book & Training Methods
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...]
