If you want to get brutally strong and powerful as well as having the look of thick, dense

muscle then it’s time to train Underground. Many decades and even centuries ago the

greatest lifters and most dominant athletes looked strong AND actually were brutally

strong! They were what we would call “All Show and ALL Go!”

Nowadays too many people look strong but can’t perform with high levels of strength

and power. This is what happens when you follow pretty workouts that revolve around

high tech equipment and wimpy workouts. As a combat athlete, we BOTH know that we

must be able to maintain out strength, power and conditioning through an entire bout,

regardless of our combat sport of choice.

These men lifted stones, heavy barbells with two hands and one hand, heavy kettlebells,

climbed rope, pressed heavy thick handle dumbbells plus many more amazing feats!

They also trained with high volume and frequency. This showed that due to all this

manual labor type training coupled with their Underground training, their GPP levels

(work capacity) were very high. Unlike many of today’s lifters and athletes who are very

out of shape and can not handle high intensity work outs!

Now, depending on how often you train in combat, and how intense your combat

workouts are, this will determine how much Underground training you do. The more you

train in combat, the less Underground training you’ll perform.

Remember, we reap the rewards of our training through proper rest and nutrition. Part of

your discipline will be resting when you may really want to train. Discipline means doing

what you have to do and what is best for you, not what you want to do! What you want to

do has nothing to do with what is best for you!

Getting back to these strongman fighters, they all had a common goal in mind and that

was to get extremely strong and powerful! In turn they all built physiques that are still

held with the highest esteem today! Wrestling, especially Greco Roman wrestling was a

large part of their training back in the day.

Above, George Hackenschmidt - known as the 'Russian Lion', was a brutal wrestler and

regularly used Russian Kettlebells to develop dominating strength, power and endurance!

Sumo style training with throws and hip tosses was a huge event in the olden days, and

sometimes these wrestling matches would go on for more than 1 day with the same two

athletes! Talk about having high endurance, conditioning and mental toughness!

Let’s take a look at some of the tools they used back in the day, which have made a

comeback into today’s training for many individuals, athlete or not! I must warn you

though, this training takes guts and a no fear attitude! You must be willing to push

yourself and challenge yourself with heavy weights and odd objects. You’ll be sore in

places you never felt before.

In the end though, you will reap the rewards of Underground training which is that of

obtaining a body that looks strong and powerful while performing with domination! If

you think you’re ready then let’s get started!

EQUIPMENT LIST

Below is a list of equipment that you will want to start collecting slowly for your own

gym. That’s right, your own gym – not many gyms are left out there nowadays that cater

to the hard core lifter who wants to train raw, in the trenches, NO BS style! Don’t forget

though, much of the equipment listed here can be obtained for free from junk yards, tire

yards or can be made by a local welder! My suggestion is that you investigate your

resources and snag the necessities for FREE, then move on and purchase toys if

necessary.

Sandbags – You can’t go wrong here. This is one of the cheapest portable gyms around

and one of the most effective. Get yourself a duffel bag from an army navy store, and

then get 2 or 3 bags of pea gravel. Place the pea gravel inside two heavy duty contractor

bags, tape them up for security and then load them into your duffel bag. Start with the

basics: farmer walks, military press, clean and press, squats, bent over rows and Turkish

get ups.

pulling movements. An excellent move for Judoka and Gi Grapplers.
