Above, Dennis Tinnerino.... old school bodybuilding, olympic lifting and bodyweight workouts. Put em' all together and you've got yourself a BEAST Well, I think that Hurricane Irene has passed through Manasquan, NJ now. Yesterday I cranked a bodyweight workout IN my garage and it was awesome. I use simple equipment in my garage: Barbell, Squat Rack, Wooden Rings, Climbing Rope and some Kettlebells (I have them at The Underground Strength Gym AND my garage at home) and that's ALL I needed for … [Read more...]
Good Times Lie Ahead
"Better to Live Your Dreams Than to Dream Your Life" The USC Cert is a life changing weekend, for those who attend and for myself. I get to meet hungry Strength Coaches.... hungry to turn their passion into profits with a burning desire to leave behind a life that feels unfulfilled with a job that makes them miserable. Been there and done that and it damn near killed me. I am NOT a believer in "Just Do It" without some planning and a strong foundation. I DO, however, believe in … [Read more...]
Passion, Got Some?
If you let your passion slide then you might as well be dead. Question for YOU: Have you let go of something that you were once passionate about because of some Bull Shit excuse? Step UP & get it rolling again. Be accountable, drop a comment, tell the world what you're gonna do to bring your passion back to life again! Peace! --Z-- PS: When I was 13 I KNEW I was gonna open a gym.... a hardcore gym..... I NEVER let the dream go. When I was in elementary and middle school I was die hard for my … [Read more...]
Fighting Against the Norms of Being Strong, Slow & Weak
I gotta address something ASAP, this is becoming a BIGGER and BIGGER problem. I'm sure this will anger many and then we'll have a few that can argue against this but it's time to unleash some TRUTH. It's starting to piss me off because we have all these "strong" people who can't perform in the "Real World". I'm done with simply chasing a bigger bench, squat and deadlift and you need to end that route as well unless you're a powerlifter and willing to live with the pain that comes with … [Read more...]

The John Welbourn Sandbag Challenge
What happens when a former NFL Lineman, 310 lb BEAST challenges you? You step up and go BEAST mode.... and then quickly realize BEAST is what I will always be chasing.... John Welbourn came up with a sandbag challenge from ground to overhead but because my shoulder is a bit tweaked now, we made a slight adjustment and went ground to shoulder. Thanks to John and his crew for the inspiration. This challenge was a good ol' gut check for mind and body. Test this for yourself and time … [Read more...]
YOU vs You
After spending time with Coach Reeve and Coach Istvan Javorek over the weekend while speaking at The NC State Strength Coaches Clinic we spent lots of time speaking about athletes who overcame adversity. Coach Reeve & Coach Javorek have so many stories and memories of athletes it is awe inspiring. I've seen my fair share but my experience pales in comparison compared to these two Gentlemen. Of course, we spoke of wrestlers and olympic weightlifters the most :) These stories of … [Read more...]
Kickin’ Ass & Takin’ Names at Age 35!!

When I perform dumbbell and barbell … [Read more...]

Old School Strongman Sandbag Workout, Part II
Here is Part II of my Old School Strength Inspired Sandbag Workout. Part I, was inspired by The Mighty Hermann Goerner. Part II, still inspired by Hermann Goerner, but also inspired by Coach Ethan Reeve. Coach Reeve told me about a workout he did several years ago when I was down in North Carolina to speak at The NC State Strength Coaches Clinic. He did 100 D Ball sandball shouldering reps for BEST time. Coach Reeve was performing "Density Training" back in the early 70's when he … [Read more...]
