I’m TOO Old – What’s YOUR Excuse?

Sometimes I sit down and just stop…..

I get into the recliner and if the house is quiet I just might be able to watch a movie…..

The other night I watched the movie Creed. I pushed back the recliner and kicked up my feet. Although I don’t think Creed came close to what Rocky III & IV did in terms of motivation, I DID get inspired watching Adonis Creed training.

As my feet were kicked up and I laid back watching Creed in training, I realized the BIG difference.

When I DID watch Rocky III & IV I was a young kid, capable of putting my body through the hellish training to prepare for combative sports.

But this time, I realized my time has passed.

I’m 40.

And sure, I can go and find something to compete in but it will NEVER be the same.

NEVER.

The time is NOW. Maybe you can do this in your 30s, but do you have the dedication of a Tom Hruby, driving from Indiana 1.5 hours to Northwestern at 4:30 in the morning while also being a father of 4?

I doubt it.

The truth is most people don’t wanna drive more than 15 minutes let alone 90 minutes.

So…..

For the athletes of The Manasquan and Edison Underground Strength Gym:

– What regrets will you have at age 40 when you sit back in that recliner?

The excuses I hear now…… They are horrific at best.

And, when parents want to see their child “Dominate the competition” yet you only show up once or twice a week, then every other week you’re MIA, well, you will have a LONG list of regrets when you kick back in that recliner at age 40.

I promise you that.

As always….

You Can Have Results Or You Can Have Excuses But You Can’t Have Both!

ALL in, ALL the time.

Why Athletes Are Injured 400% More Often?

Written by zach. Posted in Articles, Athlete Training, Edison, Manasquan, NJ Baseball Training, NJ Basketball Training, NJ Cross Country Training, NJ Football Training, NJ Swim Training, NJ Track & Field Training, NJ Volleyball Training, NJ Wrestling Training, Nutrition, Underground Strength Camp, Workouts

Has your son ever been injured?

If he is an athlete, which he is, the answer is YES.

There are many reasons WHY athletes get hurt,
and almost all of them we can do something about.

For female athletes, the ACL injury rate is 400% higher
than it was 10 years ago!

Holy s**t!

Think about it…..

As a parent, you don’t recall ANY of your friends
in high school telling you they are getting:

– ACL repair

– Tommy John surgery

– MCL Strains

And RARELY did your friends get:

– rolled ankles

– strained lower backs

– “my shoulder hurts when I do EVERYTHING….”

And……

Back in the day, the AT in the school taped ankles or
said “put ice on it”…..

Are we too smart nowadays or too soft?

The answer is probably BOTH.

Our athletes are specializing WAY too early in sports
nowadays, causing overuse injuries WAY before
we should any sign of wear and tear.

Injuries to soft tissues happen because:

– the body is not ready for the trauma / overuse

If your muscles and connective tissues are weak,
chances of injury go WAY up.

And, in sports, NOTHING is absolute.

This simply means, you never know what is gonna
happen during sports. There is an inherent risk
factor involved with any and all sports.

So, even if you’re “perfectly prepared”, there is still
a chance of injury.

Now, there are other issues as well:

– Poor joint mobility

– Poor joint stability (unstable joints)

– Poor Flexibility (You don’t need to by super flexible BUT
if you’re too tight, your body moves incorrectly causing
injury to lowerback or other joints such as shoulders, ankles and knees)

So, what is THE answer?

1) Be as well prepared as possible

2) Do mobiity work at home, soft tissue work,
stretching and even yoga

3) Proper nutrition and hydration – a starved and / or dehydated body is a
body on the verge of breakdown

4) Find other ways to improve overall athleticism

– Swimming

– Play more than 1 sport or a variation of your sport so
you avoid the overuse issues or at least minimize
overuse injury chances

– Lifestyle: It ALL counts; how much you sleep,
how health you eat, hydration, stress levels and
NOT always going hard in sports training.

MANY of these things are under your control, minus the
ability to predict what happens during competition.

BUT, most injuries happen are because the athletes
and parents refuse to:

– get 8-9 hrs of sleep per night

– drink plenty of water

– perform mobility and proper stretching at home

– eat healthy

– eat enough (skipping meals, eating processed foods, etc)

Your success is in your hands.

THAT is the ultimate truth!

Being a champion takes a LOT more than
merely going to sports practice and training
at The Underground 2 or 3 x week.

We have LOTS of athletes coming here
who are hurting here, there and everywhere when
we tell them day in and day out to spend 10-20 min
a day stretching and rolling on a rumble roller.

MANY have heard this message for YEARS and
still have NOT invested in a rumble roller.

You can have excuses or you can have results
but I promise you that you can NOT have both.

Live The Code 365,

–Z–

PS: NO such thing as a part time champion.

Do it NOW, or regret that you missed the opportunity
to be a champion down the road.

The time is NOW.

“Football Specific Workouts” at Manasquan & Edison Underground Strength Gym

Above, Auburn Football Going Through Their “Football Specific Workouts”

I’m NOT just on a mission to build Champions in Sports AND In Life…..

I’m on a Mission to educate the public so they STOP getting fooled into trickery.

Our young athletes get duped and spend their money on “special protein shakes” that will help their muscles explode and get the best pump and workout of their life!

I can assure you, that protein shake will NOT send you to the Big Leagues.

The Football Coaches who say they follow XYZ training program yet they don’t produce A LICK of the results that this training program produces from the Coach who Created it?

There are too many Football Coaches pretending to be Strength Coaches…..

I found Video footage of the Top D1 College Programs in America doing their “Football Specific Workouts” and here’s what I found:

– Deep Squats

– Bench / Floor Press

– Bodyweight Training

– Sprints with Sleds

– Heavy Carries

– Unilateral Training for Upper & Lower Body

– Jump Training

– Power & Hang Cleans

– Wrestling Drills

What athlete, Football player or other sports, doesn’t need to be?

– Stronger

– Tougher

– Faster

– More Explosive

To this day I haven’t worked with an athlete who is “good enough”, there is always work to be done.

The BEST athletes accept the work and go for it.

The average athletes make excuses and ONLY want to do what they like to do, not what they Need to do.

Be a Champion or be Average.

The choice is yours.

And…….

You’re smarter than that. STOP getting duped and tricked by the fads, gimmicks and BS. The Success will come from Your Work, NOT from your Excuses, your protein shakes or your speed ladders.

Nutrition Tips & Mistakes to Avoid for Edison & Manasquan Athletes

Written by zach. Posted in Articles, Athlete Training, Edison, Manasquan, NJ Baseball Training, NJ Basketball Training, NJ Cross Country Training, NJ Fat Loss, NJ Football Training, NJ Swim Training, NJ Track & Field Training, NJ Volleyball Training, NJ Wrestling Training, Nutrition

Nutrition tells the TRUTH.

I can see a Mile away who is dialing in their nutrition and who is NOT.

The key to maximizing your training is to eat a strong, healthy style of eating.

Eat when hungry and eat plenty of healthy foods.

Teen athletes can easily follow the 80/20 rule of eating where here and there some junk food is perfectly fine and will NOT ruin them.

But, constant eating of crap, fake foods, sugars, processed foods and also LACK of food will Crush your ability to get Bigger, Stronger, Faster and Tougher.

If being Strong didn’t matter and Size didn’t matter then women would be in The NFL and MMA, Boxing, Wrestling, Youth Football, etc would NOT have weight classes.

Go back and Follow the Nutrition Guidelines in Your Welcome Packet (ALL New Members Get a Welcome Packet with Guidelines to Maximize Success).

It’s Simple and EASY to follow. But, Parents, We need your support to put Strong foods in the house. Your child will not go food shopping and stock the fridge with fruits, veggies, steak, eggs, organic whole milk, etc. A Successful athlete has a GREAT support system from his / her family.

The other day I went to Shop Rite with my family and we bought cooked dinner:

– Chicken Thighs

– Soup

– Salad

We had fruit at home and it was a simple, strong dinner.

Don’t complicate things!

That protein shake will NOT save your child and turn him into an Animal. STOP being duped into all the Bull Shit. There are NO short cuts.

It takes time, Just like training does. Results are the equivalent of how you train, how you eat and your lifestyle.

You can’t eat strong SOME of the time and expect outstanding results.

Here’s the common categories I see of the struggling athlete:

The FAT athlete

– He is eating junk food and processed foods around the clock.

– Mom and Dad stock the cabinets with all types of chips and processed foods.

– Dinner is almost always a high carb pasta type meal.

– He has a low protein, high carb / sugar and high saturated fat intake.

– He often skips breakfast OR if he does eat breakfast, it is cereal or donuts. He claims “I have no time” to eat breakfast.

– He has difficulty making ANY progress: can’t build muscle, can’t get lean / burn fat, feels weak and looks weak.

– He seems to be spinning his wheels in training and progress is very, very slow.

– All training exhausts him, be it sports practice or strength and conditioning. He has NO energy to put
in the appropriate amount of work to achieve anything more than average at best results.

The Skinny / Undersized Athlete

– He doesn’t eat enough and Mom / Dad complain “He just doesn’t have a big appetite”.

– He also skips breakfast or if he does eat breakfast it’s 1 bowl of cereal.

– He has difficulty gaining muscle and getting stronger.

– He lacks consistency and dedication in eating more as well as eating better. You advise him to change his eating and there is always an excuse.

– He lacks energy due to insufficient nutrients and his joints always hurt because he can’t tolerate
had training due to lack of recovery due to lack of proper nutrition.

If I look at our athletes who eat enough AND eat properly we see a physique that is forged in something
similar to a Gladiator.

Muscles are Thick.

Motivation and Energy is High.

Success is high in sports AND academics because the brain LOVES high quality nutrients.

Some photos Below of our Athletes who Eat AND Train the Way We Advise:

If you’re an athlete who wants results….

If you’re a parent who wants to see your child achieve academic and athletic success…

It takes dedication on ALL fronts: Lifestyle, Nutrition, Training.

Half dedicated efforts will result in average at best results.

The photos above show what happens for those who DO follow through.

You can have excuses or you can have results but you can’t have Both.

Looking forward to seeing you at The Underground Strength Gym of Edison & Manasquan!

Manasquan & Edison Athletes Learn From a 10 Year NFL Veteran

Written by zach. Posted in Articles, Athlete Training, Edison, Manasquan, NJ Baseball Training, NJ Basketball Training, NJ Cross Country Training, NJ Football Training, NJ Swim Training, NJ Track & Field Training, NJ Volleyball Training, NJ Wrestling Training, Underground Strength Camp, Workouts

Parents – Please read ALL e mails.

I had parents asking me to hold a shirt for their son when our e mails stated that these are limited edition, pre order only.

We’ve also had parents sending kids to The Underground not knowing that we didn’t have morning workouts the final week of summer. This was announced through multiple e mails AND you were also unable to schedule yourself for a 9 AM session the final week of Summer.

This shows me you’re NOT paying attention.

You’re not taking 3 minutes to read a few e mails a week to keep up with what we do for your child.

NO good.

Many of our athletes are waking up at 12 Noon all Summer long and neither parent or athlete has printed out the welcome packet that has nutrition guidelines.

For this training to work, we need dedication from Parents AND Athletes.

As I always say…..

Train As Hard As You Want to Win

=========================

=========================

*** TOUGH Lessons From a 10 Year NFL Veteran & Strength Coach ***

WARNING: DO NOT READ If you are Sensitive or Dislike The Truth

My buddy, John Welbourn played 10 years in the NFL

He speaks his mind and I am warning ALL of you to NOT read the below as there is adult language
and Passion behind it all.

I understand more and more that not many will understand my passion, dedication and intensity.

While I talk about year round training, 99% of others are already crying about how tough life is, how there is no time and no energy and bla bla bla

I KNOW…… If I tracked the time people waste on their cell phones it would easily be 1 hour a day at the minimum.

My buddy John and I both have online coaching programs and 1 of our programs is a mere $20 / monthly investment.

MANY people complain about the $20 which always confuses me because it reminds me of my paper route when I was in 3rd grade and I was earning $26 every other weekend delivering newspapers on my bike.

I would deliver newspapers at 7 AM and be finished at 7:30 or 7:40 AM.

When my bike was stolen in 3rd grade, I got a second paper route and would deliver at 7 AM and then the 2nd route would get delivered immediately after school.

I saved up my money to buy a new bike after my first was stolen. Instead of crying and complaining, I went to WORK. Hard Work solves MANY of today’s problems.

Here we go……

LESSONS from a 10 Year NFL Veteran

WARNING: DO NOT READ If you are
Sensitive or Dislike The Truth

By John Welbourn

You make Your own prisons in life, regardless of how much you want to blame those around you.

If 20 bucks or 60 minutes a day is what is preventing you from reaching your goals, get a new job or set an alarm clock.

You have to make time for it. No goal was ever attained by just thinking about.

No amount of dreaming gets your ass in shape.

I have a good friend that runs one of the largest mortgage companies in the country with a few hundred offices with a ½ billion in revenue.

He has 3 kids, a wife and works 70 hours a week.

He wakes up at 4 AM to train each day and hasn’t missed a day of training since 2005.

He made the New Year’s resolution to not miss a day of training, which means 365 days a year of workouts, for a full year.

Each year since 2005, he has made the same resolution and has kept it.

If it is important, you will find a way to make it happen.

If $20 is the difference between success and failure, ride a bike, skip the bar one night a month, or brew your coffee at home and save the $1.45 at Starbucks.

If meeting your goals by fitting in your training into your busy schedule means you have to wake up at 4 AM to get in your training, throw away your TV and go to bed.

Because there are thousands of people meeting their goals by prioritizing what is important, waking up early and making it work.

I always smile when I see a video of a guy squatting in his home garage gym at 5 AM with snow on the ground.

Whining about 20 bucks makes you sound like an unsuccessful f***ing loser.

And complaining you can’t find 60 minutes a few days a week to train makes you sound like a lazy incompetent f**k.

======================

======================

For our athletes who want to train outside of The Underground Strength Gym and dominate
the competition, connect through our online training team:

The Garage Gym Gladiators

Details are HERE

You should also get a copy of The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength & Conditioning HERE

======================

======================

Sometimes I feel like a man all alone on an island.

But then I realize that to get to that island, I had to swim, paddle and fight my way out there.

Then, once on the island, I had to claw and fight my way to the TOP of the Mountain.

Most people don’t want to do that kind of work.

Look at Venus and Serena Williams.

They began playing Tennis in Compton!

That’s a place where shootings happen everyday.

They were HUNGRY to escape and played for a much deeper reason that words can not explain.

Too many of us are COMFORTABLE where we live.

The beach, the mall, etc.

You don’t care if you get out or not.

Or….. perhaps you do.

Those who genuinely care will understand and have a passion for the fight.

Those who don’t, will be too busy, too tired and good enough.

The Underground is for those who want to be at the TOP of the mountain.

See you at The Top!

“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” ~ Edmund Hillary

Above, Blair Wrestlers & Team Underground…. Drenched in Sweat, Some Blood, Aches & Pains But The Champions Always Do “Extra Credit!”

_________________

At The Underground Strength Gym, whenever the athletes finish a workout, I let our athletes know that they can stay extra and do “extra credit Champion workouts.”

This can be ANYTHING, it doesn’t have to be fancy, it can simply be doing an arm workout. It ALL adds up not just in the physical but most importantly, the mental aspect adds up.

When you do extra credit champion workouts, you boost confidence KNOWING you do the extra work that others make excuses for NOT doing.

Confidence is 1 of the Most Overlooked Aspects of a Training Program.

I’ve seen athletes who work hard BUT without great confidence, they never achieved the highest levels of success.

In Season Workouts & Why YOU Must Spartan UP!

Posted in Articles, Athlete Training, Edison, Manasquan, NJ Baseball Training, NJ Basketball Training, NJ Cross Country Training, NJ Fat Loss, NJ Football Training, NJ Swim Training, NJ Track & Field Training, NJ Volleyball Training, NJ Wrestling Training, Success Stories, Training Videos, Underground Strength Camp, Workouts

I’m pretty psyched that The Underground Strength Gym was featured inside Inc. Magazine’s web site

My buddy, Joe DeSena is the Founder of Spartan Race.

They asked Joe to pick his favorite lessons from his podcast discussing lessons from successful people.

The full article is here:

http://www.inc.com/joe-desena/7-lessons-on-quitting-from-people-who-hate-to-quit.html

You can also – or shall I say, you SHOULD listen and watch my interview here:

[youtube width=”640″ height=”360″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9fJw1eTkaM[/youtube]

==================

It is likely that come September we will open up an in season program with a 1 x week training option and a Sunday morning workout.

Training 1 x week in season is 100% MORE than Zero. This adds up BIG time.

If you stop training at The Underground, by the end of your season, you are at your weakest, your slowest, least confident and least prepared for the MOST important time of year: play offs, sectionals, etc.

Why STOP the very thing that gives you the edge?

“Too Busy” is what the NON successful say. We ALL have time for what is MOST important.

For the In Season Workouts……

Only current members can do this, though.

If you already quit, it’s too late.

The registration will open up in late August and will run in 3 month blocks:

Sep. 1st – Nov. 30th

I don’t want to have athletes here who bail out at the first sign of a busy schedule.

The desire to Spartan UP during tough times is what I want to see in you.

And, being “too busy” is not the case.

We all make time for what is important.

I know MANY hate me for being tough, BUT, I would hate myself for allowing others to make excuses when they are capable of achieving more.

I will always be OK w/ being hated for pushing people to be successful.

I don’t want to be LIKED b/c I allowed people to make excuses.

There is NO honor in living that way.

Manasquan Gym & Athlete Dedication Tips

Written by zach.

Above, a GREAT quote by Walt Disney.

GREAT for our athletes at The Manasquan & Edison Underground Strength Gym.

During the teenage years, the athletes are primed and ready for putting on lean muscle, getting stronger, faster, more explosive and tougher.

This is what I call the window of opportunity and I explain it often to the parents and athletes in Manasquan and Edison.

As you get older, more and more opportunity slips away.

So, when I ask our athletes about their breakfast, their lunch, etc – I am constantly shocked with how many use the same excuses:

“I was running late….”

“I was so busy today….”

” I had to work today….”

Listen….

Everyone is busy.

Everyone works…. Well, OK, NOT everyone…..

But if you want to become a CHAMPION, then do the things that your competition makes excuses about doing. Don’t fall into their same path of excuses, skipping meals, not eating enough, not eating healthy, not doing extra workouts on your own, etc.

To All our Manasquan & Edison Athletes:

– You received a welcome packet when you signed up. Follow the nutrition guidelines in there AND the extra Bodyweight guidelines in the welcome packet.

– If a Coach gives you specific homework pertaining to nutrition, sleep, lifestyle, flexibility, mobility, etc – well, FOLLOW THROUGH! Do the Work!

WARNING: This Video Contains Adult Language BUT The Lessons Are A MUST Learn!

[youtube width=”640″ height=”360″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JQqwIE1WXA[/youtube]

Dedication and Hard Work are BEAUTIFUL.

It is MUCH better to experience success than to be average and mediocre.

Let’s keep attacking Life & Lifting!

LOVE The Journey Of Success

Written by zach. Posted in Announcements, Articles, Athlete Training, NJ Baseball Training, NJ Basketball Training, NJ Cross Country Training, NJ Fat Loss, NJ Football Training, NJ Swim Training, NJ Track & Field Training, NJ Volleyball Training, NJ Wrestling Training, Nutrition, Success Stories, Underground Strength Camp, Workouts

You MUST fall in love with the long journey towards success.

The ups and the downs come with it. The bumps, the obstacles, the challenges – find JOY in all of them.

The key to Success is NEVER quitting.

Most Quit mid way through, others quit before they even start and some quit when they are literally one inch from the finish line.

Ray Jaz recently got his 100th career victory.

Ray has been training with us since 7th grade and last year wrestled at 120 lbs, cutting over 30 lbs.

This weekend, he got a tech fall at 152 lbs for his 100th career victory.

Then we have Chris Lee, who began training in the late fall his Junior year to prepare for Baseball.

He had amazing determination and he started out weak and out of shape just like everyone else.

He committed to the Complete Lifestyle, not just the training.

He ate healthy, showed up for extra workouts, did sprints in his backyard, played baseball with friends AND had private Baseball lessons.

Now he is a freshman in college and training harder than ever for his first season of college baseball.

Look what happens when you make the dedication.

Sunday morning at 9 AM The Manasquan Underground Strength Gym was pumping.

Our favorite boys from Roselle Park drove 1 hour (maybe longer) to get in their in season training.

Mark Signorello and Thomas Grosso.

Tommy Gunz is 9 – 1 so far this season and his confidence is sky high.

Sigs also has a 10 or more wins and received 2 GREAT awards for his final season of high school Football.

Sigs & Tommy Gunz traveled to Manasquan many times over the summer to train, eat and hang out on the beach.

It’s been awesome seeing these boys grow into young, successful men.

They’ve remained committed and have been willing to do the work that their competition doesn’t want to do.

None of these boys started out at the top of their game.

None of them.

It took time and effort, lots of commitment and doing what the majority of others don’t want to do.

You must decide if you want success or merely want to talk about success.

In Strength,

We’ve got some BIG news happening at The Underground of Edison and Manasquan.

Mike Skibs, a swimmer from Monroe will be signing his commitment letter to Penn State to keep attacking in his pursuit of excellence both in academics and swiming.

Ralph Normandia of Franklin was just ranked 12th in the country in his weight class and is excited as he has made an early verbal commitment to Rutgers.

Many of our Seniors are making their decisions on college and preparing for their final high school sports season!

St. Joes Baseball Team of Metuchen has begun training with us in Edison 3 x week and they are off to an AWESOME start! Great energy, Great work ethic and Great kids overall! We are pumped to help this crew of ball players increase their success in sports AND life!

At The Super 32, known as one of the toughest pre season wrestling tournaments in the country, 3 Underground Strength Gym wrestlers achieved All American status.

– John Shleyfer 2nd place

– Ralph Normandia 5th place

– Joey Ghione 8th place

Joey went up THREE weight classes and overcame a serious shoulder dislocation injury from last March and has rebuilt his body AND mind, solidifying himself as one of the nation’s TOP wrestlers when everyone else advised him to keep cutting weight.

VERY proud of ALL our wrestlers who made the trip and commitment to compete in North Carolina at Super 32!

MORE Great news to come!
