Make Men STRONG Again

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I remember growing up in the 80s, everyone's Dad was a worker. Dads were STRONG and Capable. You'd see them all doing yard work, working on cars, lifting weights in the basement, going to the park and running. These were all common activities amongst men. Today, things have changed drastically. The lack of strength in adult men is negatively impacting the younger generation as well. Strength Training is foreign territory to most men in their 40s. Gone are the Mom and Pop gyms where … [Read more...]

The Minimalist Training Program

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

There will be times in your life when you're super busy. It happens. That is what we call LIFE. It happened to me in my early 20s when life was crazy hectic. I was teaching full time. I was coaching middle school wrestling. I was in my final year of grad school. Life was hectic AND stressful! I was stressed because I was no longer able to follow my normal training split which was 2 days on, 1 day off, totaling 5 sessions per week. Something had to give. I had to find a … [Read more...]

Training for When SHTF aka Training for Life

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Training for sport is one thing. Training for Life takes on a whole new meaning. The "rules" of training don't apply as much. You look around and see that you can train with anything, anywhere. You realize that "training" must go beyond the gym walls. Beyond the weights. You realize that the ease and convenience of everything is holding you back. You soon realize that being strong is offensive to many. You will be taxed and penalized for eating meat. "They" want you eating more soy. … [Read more...]

5 Tips for Training Athletes for Strength AND Toughness

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

There's a lot of chatter going on regarding training athletes for speed and strength. Some coaches feel we're not doing enough speed / sprint work. Others realize that MANY athletes are too weak to sprint properly. And, have we forgotten? We need athletes to be TOUGH. Give kids an opportunity to train on their own in a weight room today and you'll see some benching and lots of "chest work" and of course, lots of curls. NO back training. NO DEEP Squats.

STRONG Life Insider Ep. 33 | Gym Strong VS Life STRONG

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Here we GO! STRONG Life Insider Ep. 33. In this episode, I was inspired as I thought WAY back 30+ years ago to my days of getting my lunch stolen. The days of being afraid of others, where guys would bump me in the hallway on purpose. The days of getting my bike stolen and not being able to do a thing about it. The days of being afraid of the guys in the same grade who were bigger and stronger. Well, those days came to an end because eventually, you gotta get pissed off for GREATNESS. You … [Read more...]

Age Doesn’t Matter: STRONGER, Faster, Tougher STRENGTH Tips

by Zach Even - Esh 6 Comments

In a world filled with entitlement, excuses and complainers, NOW more than ever is the time to spread the word on being STRONGER both in and out of the gym. Every time I hear someone complaining about something trivial, something that has ZERO effect on their own life, I feel like I need to drag them to the gym for some Squats and Deadlifts. Or they need to carry groceries home for a few miles rather than driving in their air conditioned car. Too Much Comfort = Too Many Complainers. Manual … [Read more...]
