GREAT times hanging out, training and filming with Joey Szatmary.

The Videos below are in depth. One warm up gives a deep dive tour of The Underground Strength Gym in … [Read more...]

287: Wrestling Strength & Conditioning Master Class

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

STRONG Life Podcast ep 287: Wrestling Strength & Conditioning Master Class Brought to you by SORINEX. Every year I hear stories from the wrestlers I train during the first 2 weeks of the season. The stories usually sound like this: "We haven't done any wrestling yet, we've just been running through halls and running stairs because the coaches want us to get in shape." And so, every year when I post my feelings about this, people get overly sensitive and refuse to see the forest from … [Read more...]

Building Grit & Mental Toughness in Athletes “Safely” + 5 Training Tips

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Mental Toughness. Here we go again. One of the most overused phrases in the coaching world. What is it? How do you help athletes "Get Tough" and why is it even important? Well, being a kid who grew up in the 80s and experiencing countless training styles and coaches, I am smart enough to see the changes and the evolution. And with all this experience comes a lot of mistakes and knowledge. What worked in the 80s and 90s doesn't always work today. As a high school athlete, my coach … [Read more...]

Professionalism in The Strength Coach Profession

by Zach Even - Esh 7 Comments

When I first began sharing / writing articles and creating work online, I garnered a few haters. Not too many haters, but the few who hated were actually well respected Strength Coaches. They may have forgotten what they said, but I did not forget :) When someone brought it to my attention I said to them, "Tell them not to worry about spending time bad mouthing me. I can see their blazing insecurity every time they have bad things to say. Besides, why do they feel so threatened by a guy … [Read more...]

Strength Coach & Strength Training Lessons Learned Since 1989

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

It was June of 1989 when I began lifting weights in my brother's room. For a year, perhaps even 2 years, I was already intrigued with getting strong and building my body. I would read the bodybuilding books and magazines my brother had before I even began training. Unfortunately, those books were bodybuilding based. There were NO performance based training books available at the book stores. Unless I completely ignored them and only read what captured my attention. When I began coaching at a … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Training from 1947 + the TOUGH Training of Mas Oyama

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

In the early 2000s when I began Underground Strength, it was truly "Underground". At the time, the "in thing" was training on one leg, on a bosu ball or physio ball. You had to use a medicine ball, rotating, half kneeling and doing what many today consider "circus tricks". That was when "functional training" became the buzz word along with the infamous "core training". Many of the "popular" Coaches laughed at me and made jokes. During an interview one day I remember saying, "I would put my … [Read more...]
