I Changed My Mind: REAL World Strength AND Bodybuilding

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

It must have been 6 years ago or so, I remember the moment quite clearly. We were outside The Underground Strength Gym, the athletes were hitting their finishers and training like farm boys. Back and forth they went pushing and pulling sleds, carrying the anvil, the atlas stone, dumbbells, kettlebells and sandbags. A BIG bodybuilder and his skinny friend began approaching. The bodybuilder was jacked. His friend looked like a typical high school kid weighing about 160 lbs or so. The … [Read more...]

Natural Athletes VS Steroid Users

by Zach Even - Esh 16 Comments

It's important I get this concept of the "Warrior Mindset" for you. That's the BIGGER part of training I want you to come across. Can you become an ass kicker the natural way? Thoughts on steroids as a short cut vs using them to push your potential to a higher level while still working your ass off? … [Read more...]

One Man’s Journey To Find His Driving Force, Heart & Mental Toughness

by Zach Even - Esh 10 Comments

Guest Post by Jim Thompson Working in the fitness industry I see vast differences in people’s attitudes regarding how they approach training, but there is one commonality among most of them; people train for the physical benefits and wouldn’t train if these benefits didn’t exist. People want to be thinner, healthier, or more attractive. They want to improve upon themselves, or maintain the level of fitness they currently possess in order to continue to participate in activities at the same … [Read more...]

Can YOU get Stronger Than Guys On Steroids? Yes, Here’s How.

by Zach Even - Esh 14 Comments

I have been accused of being on steroids since I was in high school. I STILL remember those days. It was as if none of the kids could fathom someone building muscle. Looking back, I have to laugh. I trained with infinite mistakes and could have made 10X the progress if I had a mentor with someone who knew what they were doing. With my knowledge today, and seeing the natural greats from the Silver era, especially of men like Chuck Sipes and Chet Yorton, you KNOW you can develop extreme strength … [Read more...]

REAL World Strength vs Pretty Boy Bodybuilding

by Zach Even - Esh 54 Comments

It was the Fall of 2007...... Interesting story from today while training a crew of wrestlers and football players.... Two high school kids stopped by the gym while we were outside flipping tires, pulling and pushing sleds, carrying kegs, sandbags and Kettlebells. One of them looked to be 220 lbs of drugged up muscle. How do I know? Because this same kid attended a speed & strength camp that I ran 3 years prior when he was a freshman weighing 130 lbs. Three Years later, he's 220 and … [Read more...]
