Many people ask me if training Underground is just for athletes.

“What if I license my own Underground Strength Gym? Is it just for athletes?”

When I started my gym, I actually trained anyone and everyone.

Athletes during the day and evening and general fitness peeps rolled up at night.

In my gut, I wasn’t happy training non-competitive athletes.

I was still using sleds, kettlebells, sandbags, bodyweight and an overall aggressive style of training.

Some of the bodybuilders next door stopped by for their trial and were getting their ass handed to them by middle aged women.

In my heart, I waned to train athletes and only athletes. I stuck with my gut instinct and shut down the classes for training general fitness and filled those time slots with athletes.

Fitness does NOT discriminate against age, gender, etc. – train who you want with the methods and tools that fit best.

Make sure you fully understand the needs of your clientele and how to safely progress them through your training style.

All of our clients go through training phases to safely progress them to our workouts which we post on dry erase boards on the gym wall.

And in the end, I feel everyone should be trained like an athlete – trained to move!

Peace!

Yesterday I spent 30 minutes with the South Plainfield Wrestling Club training them with some Underground bodyweight and partner drills.

It was refreshing to be around an entire crew of motivated wrestlers.

Yep, I’m still disgusted with the ENTIRE team that doesn’t even take advantage of 2 FREE weeks of Underground training.

There were 5 year olds at this club working their butts off.

The Coaches were awesome, how cna you go wrong with guys like Matt Anderson and Steve Giordano.

Matt was a 4 time state finalist in NJ and Steve was a state champion and took 4th in the country at my old college, Kean University.

These wrestlers went through various gymnastics type drills, partner carries and hand walking drills.

Simple stuff, but very tough and VERY effective.

With a large group of wrestlers at the SP Wrestling club (looks like we had near 50 – 60 kids) it was tough to get super detailed.

But….I’m in the works with an off site Underground Gladiator Pre Season program that I will be holding at Gene Lezark’s CJA Wrestling Club.

We will limit this to a small number to ensure top quality.

It’s going to prove the power of bodyweight training. I feel sorry for their competition after I am done molding these kids into beastly Gladiators!

Until the next time,

Kill it!

PS: Much of my combative partner drills are in my home study course, found at http://UndergroundStrengthManual.com - I suggest you check it out if you’re at all serious about winning.

Winning doesn’t require “thinking about it”, it requires taking massive action. What will you do?
