HARD Nosed Lifting Lessons from 1991

HARD Nosed Lifting Lessons from 1991

Lessons from 1991 - Make The Rep or Die! I was a high school sophomore and it was a bit after wrestling season. I was training at the local gym where my parents would drop me off and come back 2-4 hours later. I would train, have a protein shake, do homework and then if my parents weren't there yet, I'd get on the bike and pedal. I recall once waiting for them as they did holiday shopping and I pedaled a marathon on an old exercise bike, AFTER my regular training. I didn't get … [Read more...]

STRONGER In Life & In The Gym: Be The Hammer, NOT The Nail

STRONGER In Life & In The Gym: Be The Hammer, NOT The Nail

I came across a quote from the book RELENTLESS recently, it was simply yet powerful, it said this: "Life is complicated, training is not." This was awesome because simplicity can be and truly always will be powerful and effective. I love reading, listening to podcasts and learning in general. I pay attention for something small, something tiny that I can apply to my life and training. I've been encouraging others to do this for years as well, don't get overwhelmed, just get 1 take away … [Read more...]

Farmer Carries Are Great, But…..

Farmer Carries Are Great, But…..

Before I even owned my gym I met up with some guys who were competitive strongmen. I was training out of my garage mostly, here and there going to the local tire yard for some tire flips..... It was Saturday and it was their day of training events. I remember getting destroyed with their 220 lb farmer walks and some of their guys jogged with the weight. I was fired up ​and got chatting with these guys about their programming and made my adjustments. At the time, my lower body t … [Read more...]

The “Crowd” Wants Sets & Reps But Coaching MUST Go BEYOND Sets & Reps

The “Crowd” Wants Sets & Reps But Coaching MUST Go BEYOND Sets & Reps

Above, The Crew at The Underground Strength Gym (Middlesex, NJ) Whenever I speak at a conference I tend to not speak about the exercise specifics, the sets, the reps..... First off, the majority of the speakers ARE going to speak on this. Secondly, you will find a GREAT deal of carry over in what we do when you organize a bunch of speakers. Why? Because what works will continue to work for many decades and centuries to come. The fads and gimmicks work on instagram or youtube, in the weight … [Read more...]

5 SIMPLE (NOT Easy!) Wrestling Strength Training Tips

3 days a week I work with the college wrestlers and man, we thrash that weight room! The energy is through the roof and that is an understatement. The culture of what happens with your team is a HUGE key to their success. A dialed in, consistent off season training program is a make or break factor for a wrestling team's success. Unfortunately, most teams don't have Coaches who organize a team plan be it in wrestling or strength & conditioning. The Coach who organizes this aspect of … [Read more...]

Will Anyone Ever Squat In Peace Again?

Will Anyone Ever Squat In Peace Again?

I feel bad for this generation of lifters. I'd say that 99.99999999% will NEVER know what it's like to JUST train for the sake of training and have NO phone around them. The kids I train nowadays always sneak a look at their phone when they grab a drink. Eventually ya gotta tell them to STOP taking a water break after EVERY SET. The beauty and purity of a training session where / when there were NO cell phones is beyond what my words can describe. When I was 17 years old, my buddy … [Read more...]
