Take a minute and watch this video and the lesson I give at the end of the video.

There is a code of success that you MUST follow if you want to become a champion.

You can put it off, pretend you’re good enough or that you don’t need someone to help you make it to the next level.

Or, you can be a champion and KNOW that you are capable of more success.

Football, Baseball & Wrestling Workout Shocks NJ!

YouTube Preview Image

We’ve got Baseball, Football & Wrestling athletes training together!

How is that possible?

Simple, NOT easy :)

Because we train for athleticism, our workouts build up your strengths, attack your weak areas and make you better every workout.

The mistake is to think each athlete can or can’t do all exercises. In season is when the sport gets the changes, but during the off season, we attack your weak areas.

The Russian Kettlebells develop speed, athleticism, coordination, overall strength and mental toughness.

These athletes are at the top of their game by training to become better. The training they’re experiencing at The Underground Strength Gym compared to what their friends are following: laying on benches, machines, half reps, poor technique, etc leads to injury and NO results.

Ya gotta want it – once you want it and get committed, GREAT things happen!

See you at The Underground!

Call us for your complimentary evaluation. Offer good while space is available.

In Strength,

NJ Athlete Training & The 2 Pains Of Life

“Wherever there is danger, there lurks opportunity; whenever there is opportunity, there lurks danger. The two are inseparable. They go together.”

- E. Nightingale -

Above, The Gnarly Back of Andrew DuPoux, Underground Trained Since His Senior Year In College On The Gridiron and STILL Training With Us!


Train For LIFE!

 

 

Several years ago, this was a Friday afternoon Underground Wrecking Crew training with intensity while some Coaches flew in from around the country to see how we roll!


Look how HEAVY they are training, how aggressive they attacked the workout. These athletes motivated themselves through their own will, their own goals and needed no one to push them.

Check the video and ask yourself how you compare to this intensity when YOU train….



Remember:
YOU have the opportunity and potential to become a champion and to become better than who you are today. The choice is yours. You will look back at these years for the rest of your life as either a proud man or a man of regrets.

Go back and see the graffiti on our wall about The 2 Pains In Life.

The Pain of Regret and The Pain of Discipline. Hopefully that sinks in!

Dedicated NJ Athletes

Above, The New Year’s Eve Wrecking Crew! Where Were YOU!!??

Monday morning, 9 am, 10 athletes showed up ready to kick ass and take names.

Others were in wrestling, basketball or track and field practice.

Then there were others…..

You KNOW who you are.

9 am was “too early” for you….

you were “too tired”….

Shame on YOU. I get disappointed in the slackers because I KNOW you can do better, you just don’t WANT to do better.

The Champions out there, your competition….. They LOVE people like you. The excuse makers and slackers make it easy for others to win. It makes it easier for the Champions to climb to the top.

If you are too tired and too lazy to get your ass out of bed for a 9 AM workout, the TRUTH is this:

- YOU Will NOT Achieve Above Average Success

- That’s the TRUTH that your Coaches can’t say to you with fear of losing their job and that’s the TRUTH your parents don’t tell you because they hope you will be above average.

- Hoping does NOTHING. Start doing the WORK.

- YOU have the potential to become GREAT, but potential only comes to life when you rise above and do the work that others fear.

I believe in YOU!

3 Ways To Improve Bat Speed

Every baseball player wants to improve bat speed and reasonably so, bat Speed is one the major keys to hitting success.

Here are the 3 ways to improve bat speed

1-Improve Lower Body Strength

Lower body strength is paramount for baseball players because it is their foundation. Without a strong and powerful lower body you will not be able to generate the force needed to hit the baseball with power. Think about your legs as your horsepower. The more horsepower you have, the more potential you have to hit the ball further.

Improving lower body strength does not come from machine based training or doing exercises on BOSU balls and other gimmicks. If you want to build a solid foundation of strength in the lower body you have to lift weights.

Here Are 4 Excellent Lower Body Exercises For Baseball Players:

1. Front Squats

2. Deadlifts

3. Bilateral & Unilateral Loaded Glute Bridges

4. Unilateral Leg Exercises (Lunges, split squats, step-ups)

2-Improve Hip Internal Rotation

In order to improve bat speed, special strength exercises should be used by baseball players. Some of the best special strength exercises for baseball players include rotational medicine ball throws. These are a great builder of bat speed because the velocity of the exercise and the movement of the exercise closely mimic the hitting motion.

Check out this video below to see how you can improve bat speed with special strength exercises…

3-Strengthen your Core

Any finally…Every baseball players favorite term to throw around “core strength”. Improve core strength is important for baseball players because the core helps transfers the power generated from the lower body to the upper body and project onto the baseball.

If you have a weak and unstable core, there will be a leakage of power and not all the power generated from the legs will be effectively transferred. If you are doing exercises like Russian Twists, side bends and sit-ups you are missing the boat on core training.

Here Are Awesome Core Exercises For Baseball Players:

1. Pallof Press

2. Single Arm Carry

3. Hanging Knee Raise

4. Body Saws
