269 | Building Leaders in Athletes & Strength Coaches

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

STRONG Life Podcast ep 269 is with Jason Leydon from his Conquer Athlete Podcast. I had a blast on this episode chatting about building leaders on a sports team as well as empowering your coaches to all become Leaders. Jason has been in the coaching game for a long time and it's interesting to see how CrossFit still has a hungry following. Jason and I dug deep into how I've evolved as a Coach through the decades and the years along with my many experiences from the private sector, to D1 … [Read more...]

Random Thoughts November 2020

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

Sometimes I write for no other reason than to write for myself. That's right, just for me. It's a great way to cleanse the mind and get something out of your head and onto paper or in this case, on the computer. I don't care that "blogging isn't cool anymore" or whatever other bull shyt people like to spout. The photo above is because I often talk about a "cabin in the woods". Yes, that will happen. I look forward to that day..... OK, here goes, for the rare few who actually read and … [Read more...]

Strength & Conditioning Thoughts: “Perfect” Training vs DOING THE WORK

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Above: The Dumbbells at Diamond Gym. To get to the heaviest weights, you must do all the work to get them from the bottom! In sports, you can be a Coach or even a fan watching practice or competition and there will be stand out athletes. If you don't know that athlete, then you have NO clue how that athlete achieved his or her skill. he may have worked his ass off for it or, he might be gifted and lazy. But in the weight room, ahhhhhh, that's a different story. You can stand against the wall … [Read more...]

Training In Your 40s, Bulgarian Power Burst, Bench Press + Deadlift Tips

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

With my hectic schedule I am going through some short training sessions, around 15-20 minutes a clip. Sometimes I get 2 mini sessions a day and instead of complaining, I simply get it done. Announcing how tired or busy I am is a waste of time. Nobody cares, including myself. I despise even my own excuses. While at school where I coach, I might go through 3-4 exercises as a circuit of 3 - 4 rounds. I've used bodyweight, kettlebells, fat bells and some basic machines (perhaps a lat pulldown or … [Read more...]

Building Stronger, Tougher & Faster Athletes: Eventually, Athletes Need a Heavy Bar on their Back

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Times have been changing for quite some time..... Strength training with the basics is just not "cool" anymore. "Experts" hate on squats and now we have high school kids who can barely squat bodyweight. And this COVID shutdown of gyms didn't help. When gyms were open, at least the kids were in there training. Now, parents are afraid to send kids to a gym and we have everyone locked down in a "safety bubble" You see, many athletes took it upon themselves to do NOTHING during the COVID … [Read more...]

Deadlifts + Isometrics: OLD Training for NEW Results

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Deadlifts have been around since the dawn of time. Cavemen lifting heavy objects off the ground. It's so simple, it's complicated. It doesn't have to be complicated, BUT, people nowadays LOVE to complicate things. I don't know why? I assume because it helps people FEEL as if they are accomplishing more by creating more complication. In this video, I encourage you to TEST this yourself. HOW? By lifting the weights. There is NO other way. You can research all you want but until you are … [Read more...]

5 X 5 Training + Bodyweight Bodybuilding Tips

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Yesterday on my IG I shared the above cover and tips on how to use 5 X 5 along with Bodyweight Bodybuilding. Then yesterday afternoon I came across the news that Franco had passed away. It was heartbreaking for me. It hit home for me as Franco and Arnold were heroes to me as a kid. Seeing your hero passing away is crushing. You begin to realize that YOUR time on this earth is also limited. As a kid, I devoured Arnold's Encyclopedia and his Education of a Bodybuilder. Doing so made me … [Read more...]

Trap Bar Deadlift vs Conventional & Sumo Deadlift

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

There is no need for controversy in the Deadlift. ALL Deadlifts are awesome and beneficial for athletes, it all depends on when and where that specific deadlift variation is being utilized. I am not married to any exercise when it comes to training athletes and those who are, well, they are ultimately doing their athletes a disservice. You see, every athlete is different. Some respond better to certain exercises than others. Some of that response might be favored psychologically not just … [Read more...]
