Use it or Lose it!
Performance prep for a sport should be a regular practice. Use it or lose it holds very true for this. This is why I am baffled at athletes who train hard and remain committed the entire off season, but once the season approaches they cease this training and only focus on the sport itself. This […]

Underground Strength Training 37 years ago
Nothing pretty. No fancy equipment. Yet much of the training in this Polish Weightlifting video (from early 1970’s) is still NOT being performed today in the states, nearly 40 years later. Instead I see fancy and complicated. BIG mistake, especially if you end up banging heads with an Underground trained athlete…. BIG Mistake! Kill it! […]
Russian Kettlebells for Combat Athletes in NJ
I love training combat athletes. These athletes require serious mental toughness, strength endurance, power endurance and overall high octane conditioning. We use Russian Kettlebells to develop a “different” type of strength. No lying down, no sitting down, no rest…. Below is your truly killing it with what I dub the “Combat Complex” – holding the […]
Eye of the Tiger or Procrastinator?
Now that Football season is about to end I am getting 1 – 2 phone calls a day or someone stops into the Underground to see what’s going on and how they can become part of the elite. Looks like it’s “too late”… The training should have been in place before the season, and many […]
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 […]

NJ Wrestlers Battling it Out!
There are other ways to develop unstoppable conditioning. Distance running beats up the knees, the hips, the joints and trains you to be slower. Smarter training is critical, it’s not always about doing more or working harder, it’s SMARTER. Note the intensity. We expect nothing less. Kill it! –Coach Z– PS: We are capping our […]

NJ Wrestling Season is Around the Corner
Nj wrestling has repeatedly brought up some of the best wrestlers in the country. Many of the wrestlers from NJ move out of state to wrestle in Pa., Ohio, Iowa and Minnesota. Now that Rutgers University has Coach Goodale, looks like a boat load of these kids are rethinking the “move away” idea and NJ Wrestling […]
