STRONG Life Podcast ep. 247 with Kurt Hester. WOW, what an awesome episode with Kurt who is in his late 50s (I always say he looks like he's 32) and crushing it as a Coach.

Short On Time Workouts

by Zach Even - Esh 2 Comments

Sometimes, time just ain't on your side. You have two choices when this happens: 1) Skip your workout and come back the next time. More often than not, your excuse will NOT be valid, it will only validate the fact that you're an excuse maker and did NOT act on opportunity when opportunity presented itself to you. You contribute to the pussification of Man kind here and it's suggested you avoid this at ALL costs. 2) Lock down your workout and attack with only 1 or 2 … [Read more...]

Share Your Favorite Power-Building Workout

by Zach Even - Esh 11 Comments

So, the last video really had your emotions stirred up. Some were pissed off that I was pissed at a kid who was once natural went the drug route and talked a BIG game with nothing to back it up.

Here is a recent workout of my very own, check it out: 1) Zercher Squat 5 x 1 - 5 reps 2A) Double Kettlebell Clean & Press 4 x 5 2B) … [Read more...]

Lessons & Inspiration from 2 Men Who Know About RAW Strength

by Zach Even - Esh 22 Comments

I have an inspiring message for you, or, shall I say, lessons I've learned from 2 Men that TRULY inspire me in the world of strength, muscle building and athletic performance. These men BOTH walk the talk and have been around the iron game much, much longer than I have. Some of this might be the reminder you need to return to the basics and escape the fads and gimmicks. Sometimes I seriously wonder if I was born in the wrong era. I wonder why I stand alone or stick out like a sore thumb … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Show Ep. 104: Inspiration from Dr. Ken

by Zach Even - Esh 1 Comment

I'm a BIG fan of the good ol' days when strength was a priority. When strength is your goal you have no problems putting on size. Squats were ass to grass and deadlifts were common place. Today, everyone says they have "bulging discs" and have more excuses than ever before. The bodybuilders of The Golden Era didn't just look strong, they were strong. They walked the talk. It wasn't chemical warfare back then, it was HARD WORK. I snagged myself a dozen or so old school bodybuilding … [Read more...]
