PSA: Time to Build TOUGHER Athletes Again

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I was training with my old buddy and training partner last week and we started ranting about how much things have changed. When my buddy and I began training together on the regular, he was a teenager and I was 22. My mind drifted to how things used to be and I'm sure we sounded like crank old men yet I am 45 and my buddy is 40. The world is changing and if you can't see it then you're lining yourself up to be in trouble. Watch this Video as I share what needs to happen in this world..... … [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.

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

It was the mid 90s and bodybuilding was starting to go from 220 lb competitors to 275 lb competitors.

IF you were lucky, you came across THE book that took a stand against ALL the fads … [Read more...]

Farmer Carries Are Great, But…..

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

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.

Blending Calisthenics with Strongman, Powerlifting & Olympic Weightlifting

by Zach Even - Esh 11 Comments

My buddy and I used to hunt the area for the best playgrounds. We looked for parallel bars and pull up bars specifically. These were gems. Some schools removed their entire playground if one child fell and got injured. So this was not as easy to find as it sounds. The back of my truck usually had a sandbag, a few Kettlebells and maybe a sled or prowler. Those training sessions were powerful and effective. They were TOUGH. Now, being in my 40s, I find that more calisthenics and … [Read more...]
