by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

STRONG Life Podcast ep. 300 Brought to you by https://Sorinex.com and http://ZachStrength.com This is a RAW podcast. Cursing and Truth Bombs, so do NOT listen if you're sensitive.

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...]

Can Deadlifts Cure Your Back Pain?

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

My back was going into spasms on the craziest things: doing dishes, warm ups with DB side raises,  bent over row with a light barbell. It felt like a shot of lightning was hitting me in the back. I spoke to some "experts" and they all insisted I was having disc issues. I got tired of hearing how the world was going to end with my "bad back" and decided to go back to something I did in 1996 after my first knee surgery. What is that very thing? Listening to my OWN body & figuring it out on … [Read more...]

15 Year Anniversary of Underground Strength Academy

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

It's been 15 years since I started The Underground Strength Academy! Feb. 2005 is when it ALL began! I was partnered at first with Ryan Lee and I was writing articles and taking photos from every garage gym training session that I could. Back then there was no iPhone. I used a digital camera and then wrote at least 1 article a day for 3 months. Once we had a few months of content we launched the site! With the site I added seminars, books, DVDs, live teleseminars...... It was … [Read more...]

Passion & The Utter Disdain for Anything Less Than Excellence

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

When I talk about passion, it's hard to not think about Tom Platz! And of course, who was a BIG inspiration to Tom? It was none other than Dr. Squat himself, Fred Hatfield! Most people will never understand Platz's intensity (insanity) in his training but to me, it ALL makes sense. When I was a teenager and in my early 20s, before smart phones were around and the ability to film my training happened, I trained "crazy". But, I could NOT hold myself back. I couldn't stop myself. I HAD to … [Read more...]

Strength Lessons From My Old School Muscle Magazine Collection

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

I was listening to an interview done with Lance Dreher, 1 of the Bodybuilders from the 80s and early 90s. They were asking Lance about his arm workout and here is where the lessons start hitting home. Lance asked Sergio Oliva what Sergio did for arms. Sergio said he did lots of Barbell Cheat Curls with 205+ lbs, and heavy Barbell Skull crushers with over 200 lbs. In a book I was reading, there were stories of Larry Scott, the first Mr. Olympia. Larry was training with The Iron Guru, Vince … [Read more...]
