by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

STRONG Life Podcast ep 333 This is a throwback interview I did with Louie Simmons, back in 2008. Back then, there were NO podcasts. I was using a landline to record these audio interviews for https://UndergroundStrengthCoach.com  This was done after Louie released his book, The Westside Barbell Book of Methods. I devoured that book in NO time and could NOT put it down.  Topics covered in this episode: Special Strength Training for Track Athletes  Special Strength Training for … [Read more...]

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

STRONG Life Podcast 252 is BEAST! Jim Seitzer started lifting weights in the mid 70s with none other than Louie Simmons. That's right, imagine graduating college and training to be a bodybuilder and on day 1, you see Louie benching 365 at the Ohio State University weight room and when you ask Louie, the strongest guy in the gym for help he says, "Just show up at my house tomorrow!" Jim began training for bodybuilding as a "Power Bodybuilder" in 1976 and went on to become a high level … [Read more...]

Max Effort Training Tips for Athletes & Sports Performance

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

Athletes need to be strong, there is NO question about it. With all the fads and gimmicks, some athletes think they need a program of all speed or all agility, and they believe they are “strong enough”. This is not the case. Heavy lifting and struggling take guts. It is HARD. It requires a strong mindset and being ready to fight and never give up. Speed work does NOT require this ‘never say quit’ attitude. Don’t fool yourself, you are NOT strong enough. It's NEVER a case of JUST speed … [Read more...]

Chase Those “White Lights” or Get OUT

There is something very special at The Underground Strength Gym. I bring it with me anywhere I Coach.  I look for the hardest worker in the room. I'm gonna tell you why in just a second..... You see, I feel so strongly about The Underground that I have kicked my own kids out of my gym when they are in there and NOT working. When I say ​Strength Discriminates Against No One, I mean it. It means YOU are not special and YOU will NOT get any special treatment here, EVER. The … [Read more...]

1967 Mental Toughness Tips from Golden Era Bodybuilding

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

It's amazing that even in a 1967 Golden Era Bodybuilding Magazine (Muscle Builder) that people were talking about "This generation has gotten soft". This article was called Mom-ism May be the Reason Why You are NOT a Champion. As a parent myself, it is a reminder that the easy life and giving your kids everything you didn't have is NOT helping our kids. In fact, it only hurts them. This is also why I HATE when people send me gifts. Call me crazy but I want to EARN it. I want to BUY it. … [Read more...]

STRONG Life Insider: The Development of Muscular Bulk & Power

by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

From Anthony Ditillo's Book, The Development of Muscular Bulk and Power There is something about bulk and power training that invades your very soul. It is extremely hard to put into words. The exercise movements themselves are quite simple to perform. The routines one must utilize in order to gain rapidly that much sought after strength are not especially interesting or dynamic in appearance. All in all, powerlifting and bulk training is a rather mechanical robot like procedure, which is … [Read more...]

Iron Roots Podcast Ep. 7 | The History Behind The Box Squat

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

In this episode of The Iron Roots Podcast, I get into the History behind the box squat. I also share how we use the box squat at The Underground Strength Gym along with proper application of the box squat. I see a LOT of mistakes with the use of the box squat, including when I see footage from D1 University weight rooms. That is NO good. My first exposure to the box squat was from watching Louie Simmons' Westside Barbell VHS tapes. Louie learned how to Box Squat from these original … [Read more...]
