Yesterday I met up with Undergrounders, Corey & Kyle Markovitch at their home turf at Cranford High School.
Both wrestlers helped me crank a photo shoot for my bi monthly strength & conditioning column in TaPOuT Magazine, which will hit newsstands late February.
Kyle & Corey took me through their weight room, which was loaded with some old school equipment, AND, it was actually the OLD wrestling room where we used (Edison Wrestling) to scrimmage against Cranford back in 92′ and 93′!!
That was BEFORE Kyle & Corey were born!! OUCH!! ha ha
The room was still REALLY hot, just as I remembered it some 19 years ago!! I had fond memories of my low single as if it was yesterday ![]()
Kyle is currently undefeated at 135 lbs and has won both The JFK and Bloomfield Wrestling Tournaments, these are 2 VERY tough tournaments.
Corey is a sophomore and has made his way into the varsity line up and is one of our most improved wrestlers, not just physically, but mentally as well. Corey’s confidence is light years ahead of where his mind used to be when he first began training with us.
Our training is as much, if not more mental, than physical. Stay tuned as we’ll be hearing BIG things about The Markovitch Brothers from Cranford Wrestling!

PS: To schedule a FREE trial, read our membership requirements HERE first. If you think you’ve got what it takes and you want to become a champion, you can call us.
We want athletes who are leaders, willing to go above and beyond where others do not want to go.
We’re not for everyone, for most athletes, it’s too much of a commitment. As I said, we want leaders here, NOT followers.

Most athletes can not perform 1 full range pull up. Here we have a large crew of NJ athletes at The Underground cranking a pull up contest to earn their Underground T Shirt. Notice they all do a minimum of 10 pull ups, with others getting near 20 and over 20 pull ups.
By the way, this was AFTER they finish their workout, when they were NOT fresh. Food for thought……
Tests have shown that the athletes who can perform the most pull ups often have the fastest 4 yd dash times.
The correlation is simple, get stronger and train for speed and athleticism and you will be FASTER regardless of the sport you play.
Speed is relevant to your strength. Stronger muscles produce more force. Speed is about force production.
Bottom Line: Do you wanna get faster, stronger, mentally tougher and highly conditioned?
The Underground is where it gets done.
Call for your FREE Trial, Serious Inquiries Only Please. Not All Applicants are Accepted.
