13 Random Tips on Strength, Health & Being REAL

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Above, The INTEK MODF Trap Bar!  This blog post is an excerpt from my short morning emails that go out via The STRONG Life Newsletter. I must admit, holiday shopping will kick your a**. I am in shock at how people behave and hurt others with zero consideration. I feel like I need a "deload" after shopping yesterday. About 2 weeks ago I shared some tips on my birthday and received a lot of great feedback. I believe it was 32 tips. Today, I share some random thoughts on Mondays, … [Read more...]

The Value of Calisthenics for Athletes & Men – Training for Performance and Strength

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Training for Performance – The Value of Calisthenics. Let’s dig into performance. Performance for sports and performance for life and work. Bodyweight training is a big component to improve your strength and muscular endurance for sports. In high school we see varsity athletes, both boys and girls who can NOT perform 1 proper push up. This is dangerous. The weaker an athlete is, the more likely he / she is to get injured. Weakness is a liability. … [Read more...]

5 Reasons Why You Need Circuit Training

by Zach Even - Esh 6 Comments

Almost every Friday and anytime I am busy and fighting the clock, I have a Go To system for my training. I often do this on Fridays as a way of "Earning my Weekend". However, I usually get in a Saturday morning training session but sometimes I take the entire weekend off. Below I will outline how to design these circuits and you can perform them with heavy or light weights, or, blend it all together depending on your goals. … [Read more...]

How to Prepare Yourself for The Police Academy

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Recently I was at a commercial gym and about to head out after my training session until 1 of the guys introduced himself to me and asked me if I was a cop. He had seen me training as I went back and forth in superset style fashion. He thought I was in training for something but that fast paced training is common for me. It's funny because I used to get that question quite often back when I buzzed my head, people thought I was in the Military or Law Enforcement. Anyway, we got chatting when … [Read more...]

Getting Back to the Bells’ & Bodyweight Training + Donnie Thompson (SuperD) Inspiration

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Here and there I catch myself getting away from training that is more Physical Culture based and end up chasing numbers. Now, there is NOTHING wrong with being Strong. But something was missing for me. I wanted to feel the toughness and challenge of working with circuits / complexes of Kettlebells, Fat Bell, Center Mass Bells. With my shoulder injury some years ago, I limit the overhead work but testing Donnie Thompson's Bow Tie made everything feel fine! … [Read more...]

Garage Gym Strength & Conditioning [Toughness Test]

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

If you've been following me for a while, you know I'm a fan of Kettlebells. I use them often for my own training as well as for the training of our athletes at The Underground Strength Gym. About 7 1/2 years ago I posted a video of The Kettlebell Combat Complex where I used a 70 lb Kettlebell. That is still a go to favorite of mine. But this time around, I wanted to show you how Underground Strength Coach, Travis Stoetzel crushes his garage gym workouts with a kettlebell. Now that Travis is a … [Read more...]

Is DAILY Bodyweight Training Effective & Safe For Muscle & Strength Gains?

by Zach Even - Esh 8 Comments

This started all the way back in 1989. Every time I passed a pull up bar or anything I could grab on to over head, I banged out pull ups. This became a daily practice. Same for push ups. Push Ups for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guess what happened? … [Read more...]

3 Ways To Improve Your Tire Flip & Strongman Lifts

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

Training the strongman lifts, I always tell others, must be earned. If you're a Strength Coach, seriously, stop letting everyone and their Mom flip tires. It leads to injuries and leads to a lack of respect for what it takes to be strong. We shouldn't have tires every 50 lbs separated so everyone can flip a tire. That's like saying everyone wins, it's always a tie! We shouldn't have Sandbags every 10 lbs so everyone can comfortably increase poundages. Odd objects are supposed to be … [Read more...]

Intermittent Fasting & Mental Toughness Workout

by Zach Even - Esh 11 Comments

Last night was a rough workout for me.... as many of you know if you've been here for a while, my workouts don't focus on solely the physical development of strength aspect but largely on the mental toughness aspect and pushing myself to greater heights. Last night started with about 10 sets of snatches. My body felt like it was on "empty" from the get go. Once I finished my snatches, I told one of my coaches that it's time for me to crank a "mental toughness" workout. Once I finished that … [Read more...]
