What did Zach do last weekend?
Last weekend I had the pleasure of instructing the 3rd Underground Strength Coach Certification. Each crew gets crazier and crazier, this crew REALLY blasted through workouts like they were on fire. The coaching they learned and picked up really made me proud! I am beyond honored to be in this position and the guys who came here, 2 from the UK, really make me feel blessed. I put together a highlight reel of their craziness, and much of coursr wasn't caught on film, but these guys got me BAD … [Read more...]
How to Use HEAVY Bodyweight Training & Pulling Power for Brute Strength
I recall having a phone call with Joe DeFranco and he was telling me how one of his Coaches / former athletes, Mike Guadango, was regularly doing heavy, HEAVY 1 rep sets for pull ups.

It got me thinking differently about my Bodyweight training and I began looking to turn my Bodyweight training into a system, just like Westside Barbell implements the Conjugate System, with days focused on … [Read more...]

I used to….
When I was 13 I started getting heavily into bodybuilding. But what impacted me most was the info found in the original, Arnold Schwarzenneger Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. In this HUGE book were tons and tons of black and white photos of the rugged bodybuilders from the 50's - 70's. These guys were more like what I call a "power-bodybuilder". They hit heavy deadlifts, heavy olympic lifts, heavy powerlifts, heavy cheat curls, HEAVY EVERYTHING. They developed incredibly rugged, … [Read more...]
