OK – Pretty fired up at the poor nutrition habits I’ve been seeing at the gym lately, which in turn has resulted in less than optimal performance.

The Underground Nutrition and Workout Packet is almost done and all of our members will have it in their hands next week.

In addition, you’ll see we’re carrying THREE things to supplement your training AND nutrition.

These are supplements, they do NOT replace anything – the better your nutrition is, the better results you can expect in your performance physically AND mentally.

These supplements are not just ANY BRAND, they have been developed through years of in the trenches experience and research with combined efforts of the best athletes and nutrition experts.

These are not for all of you though, so connect with me in the gym and we can discuss the best reccomendation for you.

See you at The Underground Bruddahs!

Peace!

PS: Some of you show up to the gym half asleep, you’ll need the pre workout formula. Those of you training intensely here AND at CJA Wrestling club, you’ll need the recovery formula. Let’s get BUSY!

Who do You Want to Train?

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!

MAKE It Happen!

I read a statistic somewhere that only 10% of people who buy a book actually read it and even less make it through the first chapter.

I have spoken about Life’s Top 1% MANY times before.

Even if the action is imperfect, the mere fact that you are taking action will bring success your way.

But, sitting on your ass and waiting for things to fall in your lap will NOT help.

Travis and Joe – 2 bruddahs from corn fed Nebraska have been kicking ass ever since attending their Underground Strength Coach Certification. 

Look at some of the actions they have done since then:

- constant search for a warehouse

- free seminars for athletes

- connecting with Football coaches

- regular videos on you tube

- regular updates to their Blog

- investing in their education

- NEVER giving up

I know I left much out of their list but these bruddahs are going after it.

I like that :)

What are you going after?

Post your answers in the comments section below!

Peace!

Lift STRONG Fundraiser July 3rd – You're Invited!

You’re reading this blog post laregly in part because of my friend and mentor, Alwyn Cosgrove.

Calling Alwyn a friend is really downplaying it, this guy is beyond a friend – he is THE main reason why Underground Strength Gym exists.

And because of this gym, amazing experiences have been had for myself, those who train here and everyone related to myself and my clients.

So, EVERY year, around this time, I do something called ‘The Lift STRONG Fundraiser’ - 100% of the proceeds go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

ShockFlip2

My high school and college athletes get crazy and go for broke as they FIGHT with everything they’ve got to win.

Yes, it IS a competition to win – because Alwyn taught me that in life, you fight to win, there is no losing and there is no 2nd place. This is why Alwyn beat Stage IV cancer TWICE!

He didn’t try or hope to make it, he KNEW he would win, and he also knew that he won because of others before him, who had provided the research and funds to get the best treatment possible.

Last year, the competition was fierce and the crowd supporting each of our athletes was awesome!

So, I want to invite you to watch and support the Lift STRONg Foundation.

All of our competitors donate a minimum of $ 40, many of them donate more.

If you attend, there is no fee to watch, but we would love it if you donated something as little as $ 10.

Just bring a check written out for ‘The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

I collect all checks and mail them to the NJ Chapter.

It’s going to be a wild, wild time and you will love every second of this event!

The Details are Below:

When: Friday, July 3rd

Time: 4 PM

Where: Underground Strength Gym

160 Talmadge Rd

Edison, NJ 08817

* Same parking lot as Apollon Gym *

Bring your friends and bring your family members.

Bring video and digital cameras.

Bring your energy and bring your support!

See you Friday!

Please leave a comment below if you have questions or if you wanna just say that you’ll be there!

Peace!

PS: Please spread the word about this event anyway you enjoy. Use facebook, twitter, your blog, e mail, etc.
