You've seen me tour Henri Skiba's gym over the summer, it got sick, sick reviews and peeps loved it. It's an Undergrounder's dream, it's a nightmare for those Planet Fitness lovers :) Henri has his annual powerlifting meet coming up, and, depending on whether or not my daughter goes to a birthday party will depend if I can be there. You can easily see who runs the house, certainly not me :) Here are the details: The Skiba's Gym Power Challenge will be held Sunday, Jan. 25 from 10am until … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Coaches Killin’ It!
Damn! Remember my poem from good ol' Diamond Gym that hung above the rusty squat rack right next to an old school, black and white photo of Tom Platz squatting 500+ lbs?

Episode # 87: Holiday Underground Workouts
Bringing together all the athletes is critical for creating an unbeatable environment. 1 on 1 is dead, it's boring and doesn't elevate intensity anywhere near what could happen with a crew of motivated beasts.

Wow, on my birthday, an old friend and a BEAST, Johnny Wasiscko stopped by the gym to say Happy B Day. I asked him what's new & he said preppin' for strongman comps and the Arnold Grip Contest....

Episode # 80: Louisville Strength vs Battling Ropes
I have never used such a training tool that forces you to GO, GO, GO and can whoop your ass in such a short time. Well, let me rephrase that: These Battling Ropes rank up there with the prowler and high rep kettlebell snatches. These ropes are an amazing tool. They develop full bodt stamina, mental toughness, grip strength endurance and power endurance. There is NO slow with the battling ropes, it's ALL power output, or as their creator, John Brookfield says, this is velocity output - always … [Read more...]
The Story Behind The Underground Strength Coach Certification
It wasn't too long ago I was maybe like you, or, maybe even worsed off. $20K + in debt (that's Negative money!), struggling to keep up with the fast pace of the world while barely making enough money, and this is even while living at home with the parents! Even when I had a Masters Degree, I was stuck in debt, and no, not because I payed my way through school, my work actually reimbursed me, the bottom line was that making 50 - 7- grand a year didn't do jack shit for doing things like fixing … [Read more...]
I believe in doing what you love, do You?
I am a BIG believer in following your heart and doing what you love. This is why I created The Underground Strength Coach Certification. I wanted to offer a system, an A - Z blue print on how I do what I do. I get countless e mails throughout the week, from lawyers, accountants, and yes, frustrated fitness professionals. In fact this past weekend, during The Lost Secrets of Strength Development Seminar was a young guy, totally bummin', training soccer moms who don't even want to work … [Read more...]
