Underground Playground Assault + Bad MoFos

by Zach Even - Esh 29 Comments

It was a Friday morning and I was supposed to train 4 wrestlers inside a wrestling club where I've got a small Underground Strength Club going down.

The doors were locked. It was time for Plan B.

This is what I thrive on: shitty conditions, no equipment, no gym..... this is how I began and this is where I was, all over again, 8 years later. I was in my element and a day like this brought me back to my roots.

grif rope pull upsYou gotta go back to your roots no matter what you do or where you are in life. It reminds you to remain humble and focus on what is important.

Time to use the good ol' smart phone, thank goodness for modern tehcnology!

I Googled local elementary schools with hopes that they haven't pussified themselves and torn down all playgrounds, monkey bars and anything else Underground. Nowadays, a kid falls off the monkey bars the school board get scared and tears down ALL playground equipment.

NO playing! NO running! NO climbing! NO living??!!!

Lucky for me, the cards were in my favor because this playground was OLD school and looked like old world Russia and something Fedor would be caught training at.

There was sand for wrestling on, poles for climbing and pushing and tables for jumping and press.

Hells Yea, this is MY world. OUR world. The world of Underground.

In this video you'll see two Division 1 wrestlers and 2 high school wrestlers, one of which is an undefeated state champ as a pure freshman and a youth national champ. I FEAR these kids and that's exactly what's supposed to happen when trained properly.

Get outdoors and train bodyweight in the elements.

No rules, No perfect sets and reps.

Just YOU vs You.

    you lucked out with that playground, brotha! They unfortunately aren’t around like they used to be, as we all know now. I like using the swings for handstand push ups, put your feet on the swing like you did with the pushups but walk your hands backwards until in full handstand position, then start crankin, baby.

    That’s one sick bodyweight workout! Love it.
    Great idea to use the swings for knee tucks / pushups… seems obvious now that I see it, but I’d never thought of it.
    Good stuff!

    Zach,

    I always see you working the young ones hard with bodyweight exercises. That’s awesome. I know you hit it hard in your own work outs too, but I never see weight vests being used in any of your videos. Is there a reason why? Great vid!

    I think I’m gonna LOVE my playground workouts, it’s gonna take me back when I used to play all freakin day long outside when I was a kid. Plus this video gave me a great idea for an upper body combo exercise for a playground workout 🙂

    Zach,

    Love the out door training. This was a great post, the best part we have a playground similar to that in my town. It works great.

    Fantastic workout. Another great one for forearm/grip strength is simply to hang from the bars for as long as possible. You could have all 4 guys hang and see who’s the last one to drop. Time the results and then beat your record in the next workout.

    Nice! Unfortunately where I live they have eliminated anything that resembles fitness so that it is “safe”. No pull up bars, monkey bars NOTHING! Just slids and stairs!
    Nice Video!
