How to Kick Ass, Get STRONGER & Get JACKED in a 1 Car Garage Gym

by Zach Even - Esh 39 Comments

I remember I was 25 or so, and decided to stop training at the local gym. I was finishing Graduate school which was an hour drive each way. Graduate school was wiping me out in addition to working full time, studying my ass off and trying to train in a hard core gym. Hard core gyms were dead..... Somehow, someway, people in the mid 90s began thinking that being Strong & Jacked was not a cool thing. I swear to you this is NO lie. Magazines came out for this specific look and many gym … [Read more...]

Underground Bodybuilding Workout

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

I used to belong to one ass kicking gym. It was 7,000 sq ft of free weights, squat racks, power racks, dumbbells going up to 180, countless benches and the sickest powerlifting platform I have EVER seen. EVERYONE in that gym trained heavy and hard. Powerlifters AND bodybuilders were rubbing shoulders all the time, it was packed wall to wall with aggressive competitors. The bodybuilding and powerlifting methods they used were free weight oriented because NO machines existed in this gym. It … [Read more...]

Muscle Building Back in My Early Days…

When I first began setting up shop in my new home, in my 2 car garage, I was starting fresh. A brand new life of weight lifting. No more lame gyms, crappy music, depressing environments and finally, NO more rules! The energy was awesome, whether I trained alone or with a friend, it was like being in Heaven, I can only imagine :) This got me feeling like I was starting my training all over again, age 13, back at the OLD Metuchen YMCA. It was a hardcore place, lots of rusty York olympic … [Read more...]

Underground Bodybuilding in a garage

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

With the busy times hitting me hard, there is no fear. Most people would give up and skip workouts entirely. I'm simply gonna grab a little piece of my 2 car garage back. It used to be filled entirely with gym equipment, all my Underground tools. Now that I own a gym, my wife took it over :) I have a few Kettlebells in there now, and will bring an old curling bar to the garage and 2 olympic dumbbells so I can load them up with 25 lb plates for some heavy duty Underground … [Read more...]

Endless Lessons Learned from The Underground aka “Old School” Bodybuilding & Strength Training Methods

by Zach Even - Esh 9 Comments

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...]
