I have listened to Zach for almost 8 years now. I have read and reread his Encyclopedia of Underground strength. His passion for strength in all areas of life is infectious.

Zach reminds me that youth athletes need basic physical and mental training without all the gimmicks. Kids are coming up in a soft world where everyone gets to play and everyone gets to win. That’s not what varsity sports are like and that’s not what life is like. He says the truth and backs it...Read full review »

Zach promotes hard training, clean eating and clean living. If you look at any of his training regimens, he is not married to any one training modality.

With all of the noise on the interwebs, Zach always brings the tried and true truth and accountability. The Underground podcast always drops the knowledge bombs and battles the weak mindset. Zach tells it like it is. Stop the excuses!
TXmed73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/24
Zach knows what he’s talking about. Why? Because he’s walked the walk of tried and true strength training since he was a kid. He’s learned not from just the brightest minds in strength coaching, but also from the old meatheads in the dingy basement gyms that came before us. Zach’s guests include...Read full review »

Zach is a force for good in this often terrible and weak world. It does take slightly more effort on the listener/reader’s part to get into his stuff because he doesn’t do flashy, vapid things to get attention. Once you dig in, even slightly, there is much to gain. Yes, Zach offers training...Read full review »
