The Underground Strength Kit DVD 2 Ancient Training Methods – Zach Evan

It was 2003 or 2004 when I first created the DVD, ‘Ancient Training Methods for Modern Day Gladiators’.

I wanted to share some of the training that we were doing at the time, which was NOT the norm for the early 2000s. I was training athletes from my garage, the backyard and local parks. I would also go to the tire yard in town and flip tires. The guys would pull down 2 tractor tires and I’d bring them bagels and coffee. It was a great deal.

In 2003, flipping tires, pushing trucks, carrying tree logs, throwing sandbags, etc was NOT the norm. It was NOT a fad or gimmick. I was training these athletes like “Gladiators”. Hence, where the title of this Video course was created.

I knew that in order to build BadA** athletes that I would need to blend odd objects / strongman training with barbells, Kettlebells, Calisthenics and more. Ancient Training Methods brings you the inside look as to how The Underground began without anything fancy. The focus back then was and always will be, RESULTS.

I didn’t do this training because it looked cool. In fact, we scared people away with this training.

Of course, today, we see much differently. We see this training used because it boosts video likes for the “influencer”. Not us. There was NO YouTube in 2003. It was training to kick a** and take names. End of story.

I didn’t care who liked us or hated us. And trust me, plenty of people hated us as the early 2000s was all about training on one leg, standing on a balance board and doing half kneeling cable chops to “train your core”.

I didn’t want to be a follower. I simply wanted what was best for the athletes and I KNEW they needed TOUGH training if they were going to WIN at the highest levels of competition.
