NJ High School Strength & Power Training

Feb 6

If you ever wonder HOW we train, the best thing to do is to visit our you tube page and see our training videos.

If you REALLY wanna gain access to our coaching to help you become a champion then PLEASE, do NOT call and ask for a tour of the gym.

Touring our gym does nothing…. and, only takes 10 seconds. Through the years, EVERYONE now owns Kettlebells, free weights, sandbags, tractor tires, etc.

The tools mean NOTHING, it’s the coaching that brings the results.

In addition, we are very selective as to WHO we train. Affording our membership doesn’t guarantee entree into our program.

Your entry into our program depends on your efforts during our trial workout as well as whether or not you have been referred to us from an existing athlete / parent. Your character is THE difference maker in your success.This applies to our athletes AND parents. Unfortunately, we’ve removed some athletes from our program when their parents had issues with morals, manners and supportive behavior.

Here are some short clips of our athletes in action. As always, it’s harder than it looks. If hard work scares you, The Underground will not be a place for you. We simply can’t be good for everyone.

As you can see, we have a variety of athletes training here, from middle school / youth athletes, to high school, collegiate and olympic level athletes – they ALL work side by side.

If you’re ready to become a champion we’re ready to work with you.

If you sign up for your FREE Trial workout and our membership is full you have the option to be placed on a waiting list.

Our space is limited to ensure the best coaching for our students, we give OUR best and expect YOU to do the same!

Are You Stronger Than A Girl?

Jan 26

I MUST share this success story with you. Amber Rauh shares with us how she was turned down from training here when in 8th grade, then changed her attitude and catapulted her success in Volleyball AND life since getting into The Underground before her freshman season began.

NOT many can outwork Amber, and far and few between have better technique.

We’re often asked if we train girls at The Underground, the answers is “YES!”, we train anyone who wants to work hard AND has supportive parents. This is a RARE combination but when it all comes together HUGE success is achieved.

Check out Amber’s success story….. only 15 years young, she hasn’t come anywhere near her potential, we’ve only just begun!

Here is some more footage of Amber training side by side with some of the best wrestlers in NJ along with David Ellis, one of the best Judoka athletes in The USA and the WORLD.

As you can tell, NO limits, it’s ALL mind set, and that is the BIGGEST benefit of training at The Underground!

I still wanna see MORE dedicated athletes…. MORE parents encouraging and supporting their kids to become champions…. LESS excuses from athletes…..

Who wants to step it UP and train to become a champion in training AND life?

In Strength,

Team Underground

PS: Not ALL applicants are accepted here, as Amber said, you need to show up with the right mindset and the commitment to make it happen.

When Amber started training here I showed her a video of Hallie Kuhlman and she got fired UP! She saw that girls CAN be strong and still look athletic, NOT big and bulky as the false accusations are always flying around….

South Plainfield Wrestlers Have Eye Of The Tiger

Jan 18

These guys make me proud…. Anthony Ashnault & Ray Jaz…..

Monday night, Ray Jaz shows up at 7:30 to train, unannounced…. after a looong weekend of wrestling in Va. and cutting weight from 128 to 113, he was FULL of energy. He trained till 8:30 that night, doing at least 3 x the amount of work as any other wrestler did that day!

THIS is what it takes to become a champion….. other athletes are “too tired”, “too busy”, “too sore”, etc.

Other wrestlers insist on going to a wrestling club on top of the 6 x week practices and matches…. this is the old adage of it use or lose it…. wrestling more In season isn’t the answer, but doing what others do NOT do in season IS the answer….

Then…. last night, Anthony Ashnault rolls up, the night before a BIG match against fellow Undergrounder, Jordan “Buckwheat” Pagano.

Most wrestlers won’t train the night before a match, but some will squeeze that workout in, knowing the small extras lead to BIG wins.

Look at this BIG win Anthony secured in Va. against one of the nation’s best wrestlers, Joey Dance, and, check that final 10 second Throw!!!

I’m proud of the guys who step up and do ALL the small things that lead to BIG victories.

This is NOT just about sport, this is about LIFE, and when you train at The Underground, we prepare you for LIFE… forever!

In Strength,

Team Underground

PS: To prepare you unlike any other training program can for BOTH sports AND life, you can apply for Underground Membership by clicking HERE.

Not all applicants are accepted and referrals will speed up your acceptance process. Space is limited.

PPS: These guys aren’t champions because they do 1 thing…. instead, they do ALL the little things that add up to BIG victories. They separate themselves from “the pack” by training at The Underground, with our non-traditional methods, battle tested and proven, they gain the edge.

WHAT do YOU do to get that advantage?

Power Training for NJ Athletes

Jan 13

Before we move on to what goes down inside The Underground Strength Gym, let me preface ALL of that “Stuff” so the parents and athletes watching our videos can see my friend, Ultimate Warrior, speak about what it takes to succeed. We think the same and that just might be TOO much for most of you. Too intense, expectations too high…..

If you don’t fit this mold and understand that success takes WORK, you do NOT belong here…..

We’ve got NO room for lazy athletes, rude parents or anyone who makes and / or enables excuses. Excuses are for those who cave in to the slightest pressure. At The Underground, you learn to thrive under pressure….

Athletes need specialized training, that’s a fact. But… before we get specialized, we need plenty of “generalized” work.

Why skinny 100 lb kids are being told by Coaches to do a power clean is beyond me…. “JUMP with the weight” they say, but…. the kid is too weak to JUMP, let alone perform a safe and proper power clean.

Once our athletes develop a level of general physical preparation we can begin specializing and adding speed / explosive power work to their training. But, TOO much speed work and we now move from Quality to quantity and you are NO longer building speed.

It’s dangerous when you have a little bit of knowledge and just throw it on the wall and hope it sticks. I feel bad for athletes who are forced to train under a coach who wants to make an extra buck “covering the weight room”. These kids get ONE shot to make it right, they deserve to learn from experts.

Before I continue I’d like to thank ALL the dumb ass, ego driven coaches who tell their strongest and fastest athletes to train LESS at The Underground when we helped them get to the top…. I own a Football but you don’t see me trying to start my own Football team, catch my drift?

Check out some speed and explosive work we’ve built our athletes up to doing, this is a Football player working side by side with a Baseball player…
