Some of My Favorite Strength & Conditioning Books

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

I am constantly asked about my favorite books or what I'm reading right now.

"Science and experience have taught us that any athlete, even in ultra-endurance sports, who has not built a foundation of strength will fail to reach his or her potential." ~ Pavel, Author of Easy Strength As I work on my book and dig deeper on my philosophy on training, in between text messages with Jason Ferruggia discussing life and lifting, I keep coming back to what got me where I am today, as well as every other strong mofo out there.

The Mark Of A STRONG Man, Lessons Inspired from Andy Bolton

by Zach Even - Esh 6 Comments

"Weak Legs & Weak Back = A WEAK Man" When I heard about Andy Bolton breaking the 1,000 lb Deadlift Barrier I knew this was not only a strong man, but most importantly, a SMART man. World records are never set because someone got lucky. It takes some serious experience and a blend of brains and brawn. As a Coach and a student of life and the iron game, I never feel that I am "good enough". Good enough is the devil. I knew that if I could learn at least 1 thing from Andy Bolton I could … [Read more...]

Top 3 Lessons Learned From Powerlifters

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

When I began training athletes, specifically wrestlers, I was lucky enough to learn about many of my training methods from Louie Simmons and Pavel. I would speak with Louie on a weekly basis, calling him during my lunch when I was a teacher and we would chat about training wrestlers, MMA fighters and overall building athletes into Bad Mother F**ers. My first set of Kettlebells was a pair of 53s and a pair of 70s. I read all of Pavel's books and training courses and began blending his strength … [Read more...]

Grease The Groove (GTG) For Greater Strength [Training for Life]

by Zach Even - Esh 33 Comments

Grease The Groove is a technique I learned many years ago when reading a book from Pavel, Power To The People. Essentially, you perform an exercise of choice several times a day, several times a week (4 - 7 x week), each and every set performed when you are fresh without going to muscular fatigue. Usually, this works best when performing the practice exercise for anywhere from 2 - 4 weeks. There are several ways to apply Grease The groove (GTG) for maximum effect. … [Read more...]

Minimalist Training Tips for Full Body Strength

by Zach Even - Esh 11 Comments

The more I utilize simple dumbbell & bodyweight workouts for myself, the more I realize less is more. Less variety and more focus = greater results in strength and size.
