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!

Russ Benner, a wrestler from Roselle Park, NJ pinned his way to a district title in under 4 minutes total over the course of 3 matches.

Pretty damn impressive, BUT, I am not shocked, because I have seen all the gut busting effort this BadAss has put forth for close to a year at The Underground.

BIG Congrats goes to Russ Benner, a wrestler from Roselle Park High School who just captured his 100th career win.

Russ also recently won the Union County Wrestling tournament along with fellow Underground wrestler, Dawud Hicks of Plainfield.

On a critical note, Russ is wrestling 152 this year, no weight cutting, able to eat a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most wrestlers end up gaining excess fat in the off season and during the season they end up cutting excess weight, leading to a season of disappointments and anger.

Skipping meals and starving yourself sucks, no two ways about it.

Wrestlers have another option which is to pack on plenty of lean muscle AND improve wrestling skills in the off season. Russ did just that this off season and he is having his best season yet!

Look for Russ along with other Underground Strength Gym wrestlers doing damage the rest of the season!

Both of these kids are PURE BEASTS and I’m extremely proud of them. Their dedication and intensity are unrivaled and they are looking to do serious damage in a few short weeks as the trip to Atlantic City begins!

Congrats to Russ Benner, a wrestler from Roselle Park, NJ who won 1 of the toughest NJ pre season wrestling tournaments, The Iron Horse Wrestling Tournament.

Russ beat a former Underground Strength Gym member in the finals.

Just goes to show you, EVERYTHING YOU DO counts, or, everything you DON’T Do.

Training must be done the RIGHT way.

What we do at The Underground Strength Gym in Edison, NJ is specialized for your sport.

What you do at the local gym does NOT compare to the training we take you through at The Underground Strength gym here in Edison, NJ.

BIG Congrats goes to Russ Benner who is kicking major ass since training at The Underground!
