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

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?

When people hear or read about us, they assume we train only wrestlers or only high school athletes. The REAL facts are we train ALL SERIOUS athletes, which means we prepare middle school, high school, collegiate AND post collegiate athletes who are competing on an international level.
Two of our top Guns are Ben Igoe, a Fencer who recently competed in the world championships in Paris and has just returned from Bulgaria as well and David Ellis, aka The Judo BEAST.
David Ellis is a world famous (Or FEARED) Judo Beast who is regularly ranked amongst the top 3 Judoka in the USA.
To become a BEAST, understand this, you MUST be willing to do what other athletes don’t want to do. It is amazing how many athlete simply do NOT want to do the little extras that ass up to BIG wins. Amazing….

At The Underground Strength Gym we don’t need fancy equipment or a BIG gym to impress people or fake our way into getting results.
We get results the old fashioned way integrated with results driven strength, speed and conditioning methods. Check out Dillon, after training with Coach Riz. The kid weighs 170 lbs and deadlifts over 500 lbs, climbs the beam and ropes with an added 20 lbs of swinging chains.

I’ve seen it go on for too long. Edison High School Football continues it’s crappy record. Too many excuses, NOT enough forward thinking in the program, not enough dedication by the Football players themselves. I used to work for Edison, told them countless times I could help make their athletes stronger, faster, more confident, highly conditioned and the answer was always in the form of an excuse.
Excuses don’t build champions.
We recently had a Basketball Player gain 40 lbs of muscle in one year along with confidence and power unmatched. His “Coach” bought some battling ropes and kettlebells yet had NO clue how to use them, so our Underground Strength Gym athlete taught him how to use them. At least we know they’re hiring qualified people at his school, or, maybe not.
When they saw him play in a Basketball game, tired, rather than use their brain, they said he needs to remove himself from the very program that built him up and motivated him towards achieving bigger, greater goals. How Smart. Keep him in the program where the Coach doesn’t know what he’s doing, remove him from the program that creates results.
The Underground Strength Gym is a place for highly motivated athletes with supportive parents. Period. Nothing less will suffice.
Are you an excuse maker or do you take responsibility?
Champions are built, so prepare to do the work when you get here.
