Last week, during the holidays I was in Disney with the family. Since we drove, I had LOTS of FREE time to catch up on stuff I rarely get to do.... watch TV. So I kicked back and found some old documentaries on YouTube. When I watch TV, I LOVE finding stuff that inspires me.... NO time for negative, energy sucking BS. … [Read more...]

Functional Arm Strength: 11 Tips to Get BIGGER & STRONGER Arms
Let me slap the haters in the face before we get GOING. BIG, STRONG arms are critical to aiding your upper body strength. They also help keep your shoulders healthy when you train your arms properly. Want to improve your bench press, military press, pull ups, push ups, dips, etc? Then get those arms stronger. If you've got skinny, weak arms, it's likely your upper body pushing and pulling strength sucks as well. Do NOT fear doing direct arm work. … [Read more...]

5 Tips for Training High School Athletes
Training young athletes is my passion. I LOVE helping skinny, weak kids go from Boy to BEAST..... not just physically, but mentally as well. But, I feel HORRIBLE for the athletes who are forced to train with a Coach who has NO clue as to WHAT the hell to do with regards to Safe AND Effective training. Some Coaches do NOT want to learn. They use their EGO to control the kids and force them into training in shitty conditions. When you have a Coach who is hungry to learn, that is when athletes … [Read more...]
Strong, Slow & USELESS | The Problem with Modified Powerlifting for Training Athletes

The BIG Reasons Behind Bodyweight Training for Athletes
Yesterday I exchanged text messages with a friend of mine who has been lifting for 20+ years. He was talking about how he can relate to everything I went through as we've been both training hard and heavy for well over 2 decades. The nagging injuries, the strange pains in our feet, injuries from simple daily tasks like walking down the stairs in the morning. Today, we laugh at these injuries because back in the day we would NEVER have guessed that being so strong could contribute to … [Read more...]
THE Underground Strength Gym – What REALLY Happened?
Soooo.... what REALLY goes down at The Underground Strength Gym? I am often asked.... I am a lucky guy, I won't deny it. I LOVE what I do and love it even more when I'm sweating bullets and my hands are covered in rust from old plates and dirt from 450 & 600 lb tractor tires. As they say though, successful people make their own luck, but what is often forgotten is how they learned what they now know..... … [Read more...]
