The Soul Lifter, The Iron Man – Where are You?

by Zach Even - Esh 22 Comments

I started lifting weights back when I was 13, it was 2 weeks before 8th grade was over. I used the weights my older bro had in his room down stairs on an old school Weider Bench. Some of those weights were sand filled and I still remember doing dumbbell benching and sand would fall in my eyes and mouth - ahhhhhhhhh, those were the days :) … [Read more...]

How I trained an 88 lb. weakling

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Slightly over 2 years ago a young wrestler began training with us.... He weighed 88 lbs at the time and was 1 month out from wrestling season in which he would be wrestling at 103 lbs. We had little time to prep before the season and in the first 3 weeks of the season he broke his collar bone during a wrestling match. When you're weak and have little strength and muscle, you can bet that your ligaments and bones are also weak. Through the years we trained him with our Underground … [Read more...]

the trail blazer

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Time for some action. Time to do it your way, finally, not anyone else's way. Seriously. Stop doing what you see everyone else doing. Stop copying the concentration curls, the lat pull downs, the smith machine presses....everything performed seated of course. Every workout does NOT have to be the perfect balance of push / pull, or upper / lower body work. Who ever said that everything must be in total harmony and balance is full of it. Ask the guys in the pen about balance and … [Read more...]

The Guru Who Never Was

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

This oughtta piss some people off :) I am a student first, teacher second. My primary goal is to learn more and more so I can pass on the knowledge to those who want to learn. Still, I receive some funny e mails from people who claim to be "experts" because they were using stones, or sandbags and kettlebells before anyone else was. I must laugh at this egotistical behavior, but it's also why we have a rule at The Underground web site: No Assholes, No Egos. Some people feel the odd need to … [Read more...]

Break the Rules for BIG Strength

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

We haven't been following a ton of rules here at The Underground. This is a BIG reason why our clients are developing in strength and muscle so quickly. Compare our style of training with the typical program that has light dumbbell curls, lat pull downs, crunches and calf raises to someone flipping tires, hoisting heavy barbells overhead, deadlifting and squatting hundreds of pounds - it's no secret why the old school program works better than today's "powder puff" workouts. Sometimes all … [Read more...]
