Underground Strength Show Ep. 104: Inspiration from Dr. Ken
I'm a BIG fan of the good ol' days when strength was a priority. When strength is your goal you have no problems putting on size. Squats were ass to grass and deadlifts were common place. Today, everyone says they have "bulging discs" and have more excuses than ever before. The bodybuilders of The Golden Era didn't just look strong, they were strong. They walked the talk. It wasn't chemical warfare back then, it was HARD WORK. I snagged myself a dozen or so old school bodybuilding … [Read more...]
No more squats?
People thought I was crazy, then again, people still think I'm crazy. Back when I was first training athletes in my garage, and even before I had a garage to train them in, our athletes were getting brutally strong without ever doing the tried and true barbell back squat. How could this be? Super strength without the KING, squats? I didn't own a barbell, but we did have plenty of other "things", and Mother Nature was our natural gym. Then, I made myself a sandbag, 100 lbs., from an … [Read more...]
Endless Lessons Learned from The Underground aka “Old School” Bodybuilding & Strength Training Methods
In the 50s and 60s, strength sports were a small "Underground" cult. Even in the 70s. Until Arnold hit the big screen, bodybuilding and literally building your body was viewed as something only a narcissist would do. Today, of course, being strong, fit and healthy is viewed as "normal". 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...]
Q & A from a skinny guy and a former inmate
Today I had a skinny guy stop into the gym....after he left the gym next door. The other day, another skinny guy who confessed to being a former inmate stopped by as well. I'm starting to worry who the heck will be stopping by next. The former inmate confessed he was way bigger in "the pen". I bet he was....eating all day, push ups and sit ups every day, hitting the weight pile almost daily. What can you do in the weight pile? Nothing fancy.....I saw what the prisons have: benches, barbells, … [Read more...]
How to grab strength by the throat!
I have spoken many times before about getting people to respect "strength training". It does piss me off, to see people whining about not being to get stronger, faster or bigger. I see these same people doing 1 arm dumbbell preacher curls staring at their biceps just like what you would see in FLEX magazine. I used to read FLEX magazine cover to cover, day and night. I had a book shelf that was at the verge of collapsing because all my muscle mags were weighing it down, bending each shelf … [Read more...]
Behind the Scenes…
What the heck happens at The Underground Strength Gym?!?!? Many people are asking.... Well, for one, we train in groups. The energy levels are infinitely higher with these groups. The groups are created after a client is screened through a trial session and then placed in a group that best suits his / her needs. Not everyone is accepted into our program because we can not allow a half dedicated individual to ruin the powerful chemistry of our groups. You probably remember me talking … [Read more...]
Q & A on Squats
Zach, Question on squats. How often do you include squats in your workout? What kind of squats do you use (zercher, front, breathing, etc.)? Thanks! Jeff ANSWER I personally do squats at least every other week. Usually I alternate deadlifts and squats, but, it's not absolute. There are times where I squat several weeks in a row. I use MANY different squat variations, all of which you'll see outlined through various articles at http://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com There are times where I … [Read more...]
