The Bergida Beast
David Bergida, just a freshman, pinned his way into the quarterfinals of the Region tourney in NJ. No small feat, considering david is just a freshman.

I’m going to try and take a lil’ trip down to Atlantic City next weekend for some wrestling and, gambling
My wife loves Roulette, and of course, some good food
After wrestling season ends, our wrestlers take 7 – 14 days off, but, for the few who plan to enter junior and senior nationals, there is no rest as they trian to become the best in the USA.
Kill it!

He Used to Get Crushed….
Jim Beshada came to me after his sophomore year as a wrestler and not making it out of his district.
His burning passion to succeed and his commitment to work blew me away.
He had a super tough weight class as a sophomore and never even made it out of his district.
He trained Underground with me in my backyard and garage and NEVER missed a session. During summer vacation Jimmy commuted 2 hours EACH WAY from Long Beach Island to get his workouts in!
Jimmy qualified for states as a junior and then was a state runner up as a senior.
Freshman year in college he qualified for D3 Nationals and won his conference as a Freshman!
Wow, kinda sounds like my mentor, Coach Ethan Reeve! a TRUE Beast
Today, Jim is a sophomore, ranked top 5 in the country and looks to be quite the force!
When I watch him wrestle I’m always thankful I’m not the one wrestling him, because I would get crushed! ha ha
Check out a recent match of Jim crushing the competition…
Jim’s little brother, Erik, also trains with us. Training young athletes with the proper methods is critical to giving them the advantage long term. Too many young athletes specialize and in turn end up burning out physically and / or mentally by the time they reach high school!
If you want to experience the success of other athletes such as Jim and Erik, then call or e mail us to schedule your interview for The Underground Strength Gym.

Sometimes, You Gotta Get Crazy
Crazy training doesn’t mean stupid or sloppy.
But, there are times when you REALLY need to push the envelope.
The intensity and volume shoot sky high and you take advantage of these days when your energy is sky high.
In the video below, you’ll see some of our collegiate athletes getting crazy.
They were ready for it.
Some of them have been training with me for YEARS and have been built up to handle this type of intensity.
The smartest thing these athletes ever did was to step up and become a member of The Underground Strength Gym.
Why?
Because it gave them the edge over what their competition is NOT doing.
You come here and you do it right, all the time, every time.
One of our athletes, a wrestler from Edison, NJ, Mike Bandiero, just won his 4th consecutive Warren Hills Wrestling tournament. He dominated his way through the tournament and became Edison High School’s 6th wrestler in history to become a 4 x Warren Hills Champion.
His competition sure as heck isn’t training Underground!
What are you doing to get the edge over your competition?
Do you want to win? How badly?
Do you want to get a college scholarship for athletics?
Do you want to break records?
Then do something about it.
Kill it!
–Coach Z–
PS: Only highly motivated, dead serious athletes are accepted into our program. We are eliminating our FREE trial workouts. Too many tire kickers. What we do works. The track record has been proven for years. Time to walk the talk.

It's not the training tools!
Many people think that because we use training tools such as kettlebells, tractor tires, sandbags, etc that THIS is what gives our athletes the edge.
VERY WRONG!
I know people all around the world who do the squat, bench and deadlift, yet there are a select few gyms in the world with guys squatting over 1,000 lbs, benching over 600 lbs and deadlifting over 800 lbs.
What’s the BIG defining factor here? Program design and atmosphere.
The way we organize programs revolves around bringing results in strength, power, speed and conditioning ALL year long, every week of every month.
There are many gyms near me who use tires and kettlebells as well. What’s the difference?
The difference is my understanding of what each athlete needs, how to organize their training program optimally for results in season, off season, pre season and every other week of the year to ensure these athletes peak at the correct time and get results faster than their competition.
If I didn’t have tired, sandbags, stones, etc. – guess what?
I’d still be developing athletes into Gladiators.
Below is a video of 2 wrestlers who didn’t even touch a tire, sandbag or anything else “fancy” – and guess what? They’re strength, power and conditioning is getting freaky and soaring to new levels so fast it’s not even funny!
Tires, kegs, kettlebells – they’re just tools.
Understanding how to put together a program that delivers results every week, every month and all year is what really shows what works or not.
Kill it!

PS: I’ve decided to cap gym membership at 40 clients right now. Nothing less than super serious athletes will be allowed into the program. If time allows and we have our current 40 athletes at a level we want them at, we’ll take a few more.
We’re not like other gyms where you must wait on line or train with a huge group. We want quality, and we want results. Keeping our clientele to a minimum ensures they get our best attention, nothing less.

NJ Athletes Step it Up
Football players, wrestlers, baseball players, basketball players and track athlete swent through some Hellish conditioning at the end of their workouts this week with the prowler suicide challenge.
Check the vid and see for yourself…
The competition was fierce as the athletes battled for pride, bragging right and the rare and coveted Lost Secrets of Strength T Shirt.
Times were close BUT the winners emerged and there can only be 1 winner!
Jonathan Black, an 8th grader entering Bishop Ahr High School prepping for Football and Wrestling shocked EVERYONE and took the Gold during the 5 o’clock wrecking crew, one of the toughest and busiest training groups we EVER had!
The Man on a Mission, Mike Crusco, was super confident and with his work ethic and newly found strength and muscle, who wouldn’t be! The beast from Metuchen Basketball took home the Gold and talked trash the entire time!
The 7 o’clock crew REALLY got a shocker as Baseball player, Rob Pepe of Bishop Ahr shocked EVERYONE and took the Gold with a 38 second Prowler Suicide Sprint! Robert was the ONLY athlete to break the 40 second mark!
These athletes are on a mission to WIN.
Are you on a mission for the Gold?
It’s the only way to go and you need an edge, an advantage, we give it to you.
In Strength,
–Coach Z–
