Are you giving your best?
Monday 31st of May, 2010
Do you really want to be a winner? Are you really giving your best? Whether it's training, working out or in actual competition, giving your very best is what matters..
Winning IS everything BUT your REAL competition is yourself. Always strive to improve and give it your all. When you accept mediocrity in yourself you are a loser, whether your team wins or not.
If you give it your all (110%) you are a winner regardless of what the scoreboard says!
"When you feel like you're ready to quit; remember that you are ALWAYS capable of more than you think you are!"
That also means other areas of your life; work, family, study, marriage etc. No matter how hard it gets, never ever ever give up.
Keep moving forward,
John
Why you NEED both... to lose FAT
Friday 30th of April, 2010
Although our focus here at Melbourne's Underground Strength Gym is on training athletes, We do have some clients who's main focus is weight-loss. The principle is the same whether we're getting an athlete super strong or helping someone obtain the body of their dreams. Results is the only thing that counts (stay tuned for some awesome testimonials very soon... )
Why do I bring this up? If there's one thing that downright pisses me off, it's the mis-information that exists about weight loss..
If you need to get rid of unwanted body fat, following the latest fad diet, or any diet for that matter is not going to cut it! It is true that, You can lose weight without doing any exercise. The problem is, you could end up looking like the saggy baggy elephant. Do you remember that classic Golden Book from when you were a kid? Just take a look at these photos below.
O.K. it's unlikely you'll end up looking like the second picture, but you get the point.
Keep Your eyes on the prize
Friday 12th of March, 2010
1Co 9:24-26 "Don't you realize that everyone who runs in a race runs to win, but only one runner gets the prize? Run like them, so that you can win. Everyone who enters an athletic contest goes into strict training. They do it to win a temporary crown, but we do it to win one that will be permanent. So I run-but not without a clear goal ahead of me. So I box-but not as if I were just shadow boxing..." (The Holy Bible)
Now just relax, I'm not going to start preaching to you (I'll save that for another time Hahaha). Whether you consider yourself Christian or not, the quote above contains a lot of truth for athletes in any sport.
Have you taken your eyes off the prize ahead?
Do you still have a clear goal in your mind when you train? Every time you step into the gym or do your skills training, you need to have your thoughts focused on why you are doing it. If you've been training in your sport for any length of time, you know how easy it can be to just go through the motions. Telling yourself the lie that on game day you'll put in for real.
What’s your excuse this time?
Wednesday 3rd of February, 2010
Wow, this year seems to be flying by so quickly. We’re already one month into 2010, and it feels like it was New Year’s only about a week ago. Statistics tell us that roughly 45% of people use the turning of the New Year to make a resolution of change in their life. The more popular ones include; stopping smoking, drinking less, reduce credit card debt etc. By far I think the most popular is to lose weight or get in shape.
Whatever your resolution(s) was for this year, I have a question for you. Have you kept it so far? Although it’s popular to make New Year’s resolutions, it’s also very common to not keep them. When we don’t keep our commitments to ourselves or others, it’s always easier to try and justify/make excuses why we didn’t. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve also done this before. The really sad thing is, this bad habit of trying to excuse yourself does nothing but dig you deeper into the hole you’re already in.
When it comes to losing weight or getting fit, excuses normally include statements like, “I don’t have enough time,” “The weather’s too hot,” “The weather’s too cold,” “I can’t afford a gym membership,” “It’s too painful working out.” What's your excuse?
Here are two guys that offer no excuses…

Melbourne Athletes Need INCHES
Wednesday 23rd of December, 2009
Merry Christmas to you and your family. We've had a ripper start to Underground Strength Gym - Melbourne. The short time since we opened has seen some massive increases in strength for those who have had the guts to join us (7 people). One of them is also already having noticeable improvements physically. Photos and videos coming real soon.
As this joyous time of year is upon us, I want to share with you a message from Zach Even-Esh (founder of Underground Strength Gym - New Jersey, USA). Refer to below, and stay safe during your holidays.
WARNING: The Video & Article Below Will Offend Many
If YOU are Offended, Then I am Probably Talking About YOU!
Most athletes do NOTHING extra. Not even an extra inch. They get discouraged because they think they need to go the extra mile.
Before you go the extra mile, you need to go the extra inch.
Watch and Learn…..
