Muscle Building Methods Down The Ages

Muscle Building! What wonderful vistas of unlimited power and might the phrase conjures up to the mind. And it is just that aspect of the building up of mighty muscular strength which I would like to deal with in the article of I trust will prove interesting on the subject of muscle culture.

After having given a deal of careful thought to the subject, I have conceived the idea of gathering together something which will appeal both to the young student of physical culture who knows little or nothing of the subject as an actual science, and also to the experienced physical culture enthusiasts who yet may glean a ray of knowledge from the reading about this wonderful science.

Strength Of A Giant!

Because I love physical culture, and you do too, here is a gem that was written over a hundred years ago by one of the greatest strongmen that ever lived, Arthur Saxon. You will notice how some things come full circle, but every time they come around, hopefully we make them just a little better and don't take away from the original beauty.There are so many eye opening parts of this book that make you realize that what we think we are inventing today, was already introduced a long time ago. Some things have been lost, but thanks to those old time strength and mustache lovers these pages have been preserved for you to enjoy.

One last thing, Zach Even-Esh is having a sale on his Underground Strength Conference 2012 and it ENDS tonight at midnight. There are so many amazing things about this conference that will help your training AND your business skyrocket to the next level. Check out what some people are saying about it...

"Hey Undergrounders,

I’m so fired up this morning I can’t even describe it.

Been watching and downloading the USC until 2a.m.
This is by far the best product I’ve seen so far on the
facets of attitude, commitment, success, business AND life.

No, I’m not getting payed by Zach or anything.

This is just great stuff.

Funny thing – I’m not even in the
fitness industry. hahaha…
Brendan Gilliam kicked it so hard last
night for me I woke up at 6.30am and was ready to go.

Kicked in half of MURPH before my
morning coffee (25pullups, 150squats, 100pushups,
100KBswings, 25pullups), and I’m rokin.

Getting stuff done, moving negative stuff
out of the way, kicking it. Yeah!"

Cheers"

Success Comes In MANY Forms & Has NO Boundaries

Lessons Learned From The First Ever
Underground Strength Conference

At the first ever Underground Strength
Conference I was struck by how different
the line up of Coaches were.

Every presenter was a certified
Underground Strength Coach except one.

One Coach was running his business primarily
from an 800 sq ft
warehouse along with some training off
site at the local park and inside
a car dealership. Yes, you read that correctly.... a car dealership.

He was cranking everything from boot camps,
to athlete strength & conditioning programs,
to youth athletes, to ex athletes and more.

This Coach maximized his tiny space and
leveraged every person and opportunity
that walked through his doors.

He even started his business the week after Thanksgiving when
every news channel was hyping the downfall of our economy
a few years ago.

The news channels were insisting that everyone lock themselves
in their houses and dare not spend anything
extra even as little as their favorite
cup of Starbuck's coffee.

He refused to listen to the news and the
naysayers, instead, he followed his gut instincts
and his mission that he believed in.

Another Coach, a former Navy SEAL and
his wife, had over 400 members in only 2 years.

5 months after the Underground Strength Conference and
now they have over 500 members.

Do you think you can learn from a Coach who is a former
Navy SEAL with a gym that has OVER 500 members??!!

the people you meet, dial in your mission
and get crystal clear at how you want your
training biz to operate.

I've been away and now I'm back. My team and I worked hard in Poland, but came up a little short to finish third in the nation. I've put together a short video to show some recent events and training. Also, keep an eye out for new athletic strength and conditioning seminars coming soon to TSS with special guests!

We did lots of mobility and "feel good" work this morning. Then we had a half hour to let 'er rip and have some fun. I know of few things that are more fun than picking things up and putting them down. See what I did there? Funny right? I know. Throw some abs in for old times sake and a few jokes, you got yourself a jolly old time. Feel free to add your thoughts on how terribly stupid this is or if it fits in your boat of good ideas, let us know that, too. The able fellas who could pick the heavy and odd objects up to the shoulders, did so in a train like fashion. They then preceded with moderate push presses. This got a load from floor to overhead. The less strong of the crew did basic deadlifts, moving a load from floor to the hip, they then did sandbag shouldering which created some speed and dynamic movement getting a load from the hip to the shoulders. Then finally, they did barbell push presses which got the load from shoulder to overhead. All in all, it was dirty fun. Enjoy.

After downing that delicious shake last night, I feel totally amped up and need to hit a quick workout today. But I also need to recover for the insane week of training thats about to commence. So I will do both. I'm gonna hit the cold shower for some recovery, and do a little light lifting, make sure I have some fun, and maximize my time. How do you like to get your training in when conditions are not ideal? We often do not have time to hit the gym, energy to lift a finger, or or mentality to make a move when the cards are on the table. How do you man up and do the things that others won't do? you know the deal...

"We do today what others won't, we do tomorrow what others can't"

I love that shit! And speaking of shit, see if you can spot the shit attack in the video... enjoy.

Looking back on that video, I laugh, it could have been cleaned up a bit. But, that doesn't matter as much as you actually getting down on the ground and trying the movements. PLAY and experiment and see how many different ways you can move
and explore with your body. You'll engage all the core musculature, burn fat, build some strength and have fun right at home. No gym necessary, which means no excuses, just put aside a few minutes and get it done.
