Get Healthier & Get Stronger Mobility Seminar

Oct 10
Posted by Zach Filed in Announcements, Seminars

Rule # 1: To get stronger you MUST get healthier.

If you’ve got nagging injuries that you simply work around rather than addressing them you are limiting your true potential in human performance. Eventually, your body breaks down and your workouts become horrible at best as you constantly try to avoid the aches and pains.

Mobility work isn’t as glorious as squatting 405 for reps or flipping a 600 lb tire.

But… spend a 10 minutes a day working on some nagging issues you have and within a few short days you’ll be feeling 100 x better.

If you’re not healthy, forget about being able to bench, squat and deadlift heavy. Eventually, your body will break down like an OLD car and you’ll be moving like a clunk of shit. That’s the straight up TRUTH.

After learning the critical mobility movements you must use either for yourself or the athletes you train you will get:

  • Better quality of workouts where you can focus on being a BadAss rather than trying to avoid what hurts. How about having a body FREE of injuries? That would be THE ultimate goal.
  • Reduce and eliminate nagging pains in joints and muscles.
  • Faster Results in overall performance: MORE Strength, MORE speed, MORE lean muscle gains

As I always say, “Without your health, you have NOTHING.”

For close to 6 months I was unable to perform a push up without excruciating pain in my chest. I thought I had a pec tear with the excruciating pain. My Coaches, Megz & Riz, had been aggressively studying prehab and rehab, mobility work and I was reaching out to Kelly Starret.

With a few simple exercises I was back to push ups, heavy benching and most importantly, a healthy, pain free body.

The pain f**ed with my head and f**ed with the productivity of my day. I’ve seen it happen to countless others as well. They get lost in the world of strength and only want to lift heavy, when the focus needs to be on being healthy, remaining healthy and in turn, allowing you to keep on gaining strength and packing on lean muscle.

I took 3 months to step away from all heavy lifting. NO barbells and ONLY Bodyweight training. With more attention to mobility, prehab and rehab this issue could have been cleared up in a fraction of the time.

If you’re a parent of an athlete, a Strength Coach or Athletic Coach or simply someone committed to strength, you need to pay attention to the videos below and get your ass to our seminar.

Many have payed the price of pain and this is why we’ve put together this opportunity to learn to get Healthy AND STRONG, so yes, you WILL be training with us!

Check out these videos and hopefully we’ll see you at The Underground for our up and coming Mobility Seminar with Coach Riz & Coach Megz.

Dear Serious Baseball Coach, Supportive Parent & Motivated Player,

This seminar is not your typical baseball strength & power seminar where we preach to you about “working your core” and “strengthening your rotator cuff”.

In fact, this seminar is as unconventional as they get. The methods you’re going to learn have been tested in a “Real World Lab”, aka, The Underground Strength Gym. Countless high school and collegiate baseball players have experienced this training system that goes against the norm.

There are no gimmicks or fads or “catch phrases” for us to use. Instead, you’ll learn how to take these methods and apply them to your own training so you too can get the edge over your competition. Most baseball players practice their skill work in the off season. A small few engage in strength and power training, but, unfortunately, their methods don’t produce significant results.

After attending The Underground Baseball Training Seminar you will be able to apply these time tested, results proven, powerful Baseball training methods to skyrocket your success on the Baseball field. It’s time to stop being frustrated sitting on the bench or losing games because you’re too slow, not strong or powerful enough and, plain and simple, not confident enough. Time to make a change.

- Learn the warm up that will both physically AND mentally prepare you to play and train at your best

- Learn the critical prehab / rehab techniques that will keep you healthy year round as well as allowing your body to perform to it’s Max potential

- Specific upper body, lower body and full body exercises that baseball players must use to improve their hitting and throwing power, their speed and athleticism

- What is the most effective “conditioning” methods for Baseball Players and why most Coaches are doing SERIOUS damage and injustice to their players by making them run long distances

- Simple recovery methods to help Baseball players recover faster and playing at their max potential throughout the entire season while the competition is burned out both physically and mentally

- Plus TONS more!

Coach Megz will have Open QnA time at the end of the seminar as well as plenty of time for exchange throughout the seminar. The seminar is being limited to 12 people Max so we can give you the best attention and make this seminar extremely powerful for you!

Bodyweight Training in Jackson, NJ ELITE Wrestling Club

Zach at Elite Wrestling Club

Wow! Just had an AWESOME Bodyweight training seminar for the wrestlers training out of ELITE Wrestling Club in Jackson, NJ. Steve Rivera runs a kick ass club and tonight was a GREAT night.

We cranked bodyweight training as a warm up and progressed into power training and gymnastics based training.

From there Steve took his crew through drills and live wrestling, and, the end of the night we finished with partner strength exercises and an endless assault of push ups.

Check out the power of Bodyweight training below in the video.

I am SHOCKED when I see varsity wrestlers unable to perform 1 proper push up!

It’s not odd for my athletes at The Underground to crank out 100 push ups as a warm up!

Get to work!

BIG thanks to Steve and the crew at Elite Wrestling Club in Jackson, NJ. I’ll be back again, for sure, and I am honored to have gotten the invitation to train the wrestlers of NJ who train at Elite!

Lead from the Front

PS: If you want to dominate your competition and NOT look back at your athletic career with a bunch of woulda, coulda shouldas, then you need to step up your training plan.

We have a few spaces left for SERIOUS applicants. Not all applicants are accepted. SERIOUS Inquiries Only Please. Thank You.
