Gladiators, Left to Right: Dylan Marino / Freshman Football JP Stevens, Travis Woods / Freshman Football Montclair State University, Greg Grippo / Junior Rutgers Prep Basketball, Ali Yildiz / Sophomore South Brunswick Wrestling, Mike Jennings / Freshman Lawrence Wrestling, Zach Jacobs (center) / Senior Wrestling St. Benedicts Prep, Greg “Mr. Belmar” Zanetti / Rutgers Wrestling, Ray Jazikoff / South Plainfield Freshman Wrestling, Mike DeMarco / Rutgers Wrestling.
MIA is Russ Benner, who hit his final Underground workout before heading off to NC for D1 Wrestling at Appalachian State.
It was a Monday at 4 PM, the humidity was HIGH and the temps were in the upper 90s. NO excuses for this Underground Wrecking Crew.
They blasted through Kettlebells, Dumbbells, Ropes, Sandbags and Sprints. Several lost their cookies during the workout yet NONE of them quit!
Some notes from the ABOVE Gladiators.
- Dylan Marino broke his hand one year ago and was unable to perform 1 push up after the cast was removed. Today he can deadlift 315 for 3 reps and flip the 450 lb tire.
- Travis Woods was once upon a time 160 WEAK lbs, he was the most feared player during this year’s Snapple, placed 2nd in World’s Strongest Athlete, can deadlift 495 for 5 reps and bench 350 for 3 reps.
- Greg Grippo gained 40 lbs of muscle after training with us for one year AND has been accepted to Rutgers Prep AND has a box jump of 5 ft 2 inches!!!
Ali Yildiz – this dude is cranking BIG time between training Underground & wrestling at CJA. Ali is only going to be a sophomore and beat a District champ and MANY region qualifiers during summer tourneys. The kid is on a mission!
Mike Jennings – all state in 8th grade states for wrestling after training for a few short weeks, on a mission to get brutally strong and ready for freshman wrestling!
Zach Jacobs – Zach has been hitting morning AND afternoon workouts with us ALL summer, traveling overseas for wrestling and prepping for a BIG run in his final wrestling season at St. Benedict’s Prep. Time to win a prep state title and become a prep All American.
Greg Zanetti – In high school, Greg was a state runner up and is currently a Rutgers Wrestler, aka The Rutgers Wrecking Crew. Greg has been tearing up The Underground & is on track to put a hurtin on his competition this coming season.
Ray Jazikoff - One of the toughest freshman 103 lbers to be entering high school this season for South Plainfield Wrestler, Ray Jaz ALWAYS spends an extra hour in the gym and there was a time when Ray’s Dad fell asleep in his car waiting for Ray to finish. Another night we had to kick Ray OUT of the gym, we even shut off the lights and he kept training!
Mike DeMarco – Another part of The Rutgers Wrecking Crew, Mike D has worked his ass off like only a Gladiator could. The results are going to shock EVERYONE this coming season on the mat. He has THE eye of the tiger!
Russ Benner (MIA) – Russ proved his intense commitment to win and hit a final Underground workout on his final day in NJ before driving down to Appalachian State in North Carolina for D1 Wrestling.
Russ qualified for states 3 years in a row, after training at The Underground he became all state and finished 5th in NJ. I watched Russ get his 100th win with a pin. I’m BIG time proud of Russ and all he has accomplished. His work ethic is second to none! He will be missed by ALL of us as he heads south to wrestle. Plus, his car is Cool as Hell!

Greg Grippo of Edison, a Rutgers Prep Basketball Player shows the results of training at The Underground Strength Gym for 1 year:
- 40 lbs of Muscle Gained
- 62″ Box Jump
- Transferred out of Edison High into Rutgers Prep
- BIG time Gains in Confidence AND Basketball Skills
Many people ask us if we train for speed and power.
YES. ALL of our movements are based on making YOU faster and MORE explosive.
Watch Greg below, as he demonstrates the results of Underground Strength Training for Basketball
One year ago Greg was a Big Fish in a small pond. Being around other highly motivated athletes he committed himself to becoming a GREAT Basketball Player and increasing his chances of getting a Basketball scholarship for a great college, so he transferred out to Rutgers Prep.
The crazy thing is that Greg JUST turned 17 and is only a junior, so he has TWO seasons of high school basketball ahead of him!
Basketball Players tend to focus on skill work and not on getting stronger, faster and more conditioned. BIG MISTAKE!!
One look at Greg Grippo, an incoming Junior at Rutgers Prep who just turned 17 and gained 40 lbs of lean muscle in one year tells you what YOU need to start doing.

PS: If the only thing you do an athlete is practice your sports skills and perform NO specialized training to improve your performance (strength, speed, power, conditioning, injury prevention, confidence building….) then you are limiting your TRUE potential in your sport of focus.
Get the edge over your competition and reach your potential at The Underground Strength Gym of Edison, NJ.
Travis Woods of Edison began training at The ORIGINAL Underground Strength Gym, the 2 car garage in the heights of Edison. He weighed 160 lbs and couldn’t deadlift more than 185 lbs without rounding his back.
He was off on his own, forced to deadlift light weights over and over until he developed the requisite strength to go heavier. Motivating him on the other side of the garage were some of the original Underground athletes, also Football players from Edison: Brian “Curls” Pascal and Jimmy “Coop” Cooper – 2 of the strongest dudes to ever go through the Underground, both with trap bar deadlifts over 600 lbs.
Recently, T Woods made a memorable appearance in the Snapple Bowl, memorable for the Coaches and memorable for the players, especially those that stood in his way. Check out this write up The Home News Tribune did on T Woods, and, check out some OLDER pics below when t Woods was a skinny kid and how he transformed himself.
Any Division 1 Football Coaches who wanna connect with T Woods don’t hesitate to shoot an e mail my way and I will pass on the good word! haha
T Woods competing in first ever LIFT STRONG fundraiser!
As you can see from the videos above, T Woods has come a LOOONG way, but, he put in ALL the hard work, the commitment to training and nutrition AND the dedication that others simply are NOT willing to do.
That IS the difference maker. What are YOU willing to go through that your competition will NOT go through?
