Building Muscle is NOT As Complicated as the “Gurus” Say

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I am fired up as I write this. After 3 weeks on crutches, I finally was able to return to my high school to coach the athletes. I am also back at The Underground Strength Gym coaching. After training the Football team, I spoke to the guys about how I was proud of their efforts. We crushed a training session and then I left it on them to hit hill sprints. "Train as hard as you want to Win" is a phrase I often use. It puts the responsibility on them to do the work. Being a bit limited with … [Read more...]

Gladiator Bodybuiliding of the 60s & 70s

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

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.

He … [Read more...]

Lessons Learned from Golden Era Bodybuilding BEASTS

by Zach Even - Esh 20 Comments

Robby Robinson is what I call a Renegade Underground Bodybuilder. His favorite upper body workouts were endless supersets of the bench press and pull ups / chins ups. His favorite lower body workouts were endless supersets of front squats and RDLs (Romanian Deadlifts). Heck, ANY athlete can benefit from those movements, you don't have to be a bodybuilder to be able to perform Density Training, ala Coach Reeve with the basics. Robby Robinson loved the basics that any serious strength … [Read more...]

Endless Lessons Learned from The Underground aka “Old School” Bodybuilding & Strength Training Methods

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

I have been getting back to my roots lately, even with my time crunched workouts, I'm hitting the underground bodybuilding methods and it's paying off big time. When I use the term "Underground", those early … [Read more...]
