How a Once-Mediocre Athlete Fought Through Loss, Career-Ending Injury and Emotional Breakdown—to Become
The Inspirational Coach of a New Breed of Ultra-Tough, Champion-Minded Athletes…
Some of the world’s toughest—and most successful—men have endorsed Zach Even-Esh’s Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning as a must-have, go-to resource for developing the supreme athletic durability, multi-functional strength and spiritual fortitude they most prize…
Men like JOE DE SENA, founder of The Spartan Race:
"At Spartan, we have always said the world needs a thorough encyclopedia on strength and conditioning. Whether it is our own athletes attending our races, moms, or even the elite special forces we speak to, everyone is looking for an edge. Zach's Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning is exactly what today's society needs to build a stronger mind, body and life, just as we encourage here at Spartan.
The inspirational life lessons shared in this book along with these training methods are what make this book powerful and timeless. You owe it to yourself to read this book if you want to change your life."
And men like the warrior-athlete CDR MARK DIVINE, founder of SEALFIT and Unbeatable Mind, NYT bestselling author of 8 Weeks to SEALFIT and The Way of the SEAL:
"When it comes to functional strength and conditioning—old school style—Zach Even-Esh has been there, done that. Zach is a master at developing young athletes who not only become world class at their sport, but also develop the strength of character to be successful at whatever they choose in life. I highly recommend this book, as it will open your eyes to reality-based training."
Or take this from AJ ROBERTS, 2x All-Time Powerlifting World Record Holder (who else wants to squat 1,205 lbs, bench 905 lbs and deadlift 815 lbs?):
"From the minute I began reading I was completely captivated. The mixture of life lessons along with powerful workout information is what makes this book truly phenomenal and one that belongs on any strength enthusiast’s book shelf."
And then there’s the legendary author of the world’s #1 bodyweight exercise book Convict Conditioning, PAUL WADE, who weighs in with this praise:
"If there’s a hardcore, super-functional tool or tactic for maximizing strength, speed or muscle, it’s here—bodyweight, kettlebells, barbells, tires, ropes, sandbags, kegs and sleds. The bodyweight section alone is worth more than the price of the book—it’s a ‘must read’ for calisthenics fans. What interests me particularly is Zach’s emphasis on bodyweight for athleticism and conditioning, as well as raw strength.
There are dozens of very, very powerful drills and unique approaches here. I’ve no doubt this book will be considered the bible of old school athletic strength training over the coming decades."
Or how about revered strength coach and powerlifting world champion MARTY GALLAGHER’s ringing endorsement:
"This big book has a lot of soul. I love the mix of bodybuilding and wrestling and power training and farm-boy strength combined with the sincere earnestness of his ongoing quest for continual physical improvement. I love his crazed, gonzo approach towards fitness and strength and functionality. Zach has thrown a big lasso around a hell-of-a-lot of athletic modes.
Zach has transformed himself, and ergo, he knows of what he speaks. Best of all, most important of all, he gets irrefutable results for his people. I love the functional, uber-fit physiques of Zach’s students, the final finished products. In one word, Zach, Awesome!"
How Did "The Weakest Kid on The Block" and "The Worst Athlete on The Team" Become One of The Most Respected Strength and Conditioning Coaches in America?
What is SO remarkable here is that Zach began his athletic life as the weakest kid on the block and a perennial failure in team sports…
Zach was crippled by self-doubt, low self-esteem, depression…and career-ending injuries…
Zach got sidetracked by false prophets trumpeting bodybuilding lies—that WEAKENED him and had him beaten down over and over again by stronger, more agile, TOUGHER opponents…
Faced by all these failures Zach could easily have thrown in the towel and contented himself with a comfortable, average role as a so-so athlete and so-so trainer…
But Zach had a dream and a vision that was more powerful than the army of setbacks and the bouts of despair…
Zach NEVER QUIT in his relentless quest for athletic supremacy…the inner fire burned strong…the spirit stayed steady…
Zach continued to persevere and struggle, whatever the odds and continued setbacks…
Things Changed When He Was Told That He Was Put on This Earth to Make People STRONG!
Then one fateful day—thanks to a special mentor—it all came together for Zach: his mission on the planet was to make people stronger and tougher.
And that Mission has become the Reality…
What do you get when you mix 25 plus years of training experience along with the pain of regret?
You get a coach who goes through hell and high water to ensure you don't experience the same painful mistakes he made in training and life.
And you get a book that inspires the hell out of you and forces you to dig deep to discover WHO you truly are and WHAT you're all about, both in the gym AND in life.
And THIS is why so many world-renowned strength experts, master coaches, bestselling fitness authors, world champion lifters and some of THE toughest men of the planet are giving two very big thumbs up to Zach’s The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning.
THIS is why DAN JOHN, coach extraordinaire and author of the acclaimed Never Let Go says:
"I felt like I was back in 1964 thumbing through Strength and Health getting the answers to strength: it's the basics, it's hard work and there is a funny story that needs to be told to get me to understand the simplicity of it all. You get every tool, every idea and practically every mistake as Zach takes us on his journey. The sections on elite athletes are told as clearly as possible and I think I coached ‘Strong and Useless,’ too. I really enjoyed that section as we all face the same obstacles as we try to figure how to translate the relatively straight line in the weight room into the chaos of the athletic field. Zach gives you these answers.
It's a hands-on book from a hands-on coach and you get the feeling you know everybody he is talking about in each story. The book needs a two-way radio: ‘Yeah, I know that guy!’ It's a great book that will open up a few eyes and maybe a few windows in your training. Enjoy."
And why JASON FERRUGIA, author of Muscle Gaining Secrets 2.0 exclaimed:
"It got me so fired up I couldn't sit still. It's honest, insightful, touching, and inspirational. Zach's passion bleeds through every page and will make you want to not only train harder, but man-up in every aspect of your life."
Or for TOM VENUTO, author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle to write in:
"No book combines the old-school methods of strength training and muscle-building with the new science of performance enhancement and athletic conditioning better than The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning. And no author delivers his knowledge with more heart and passion than Zach Even-Esh.
This 'bible of strength' is an inspiring must-read for every athlete, coach and fitness enthusiast of any age who wants to help themselves or others get an edge on the competition and become bigger, stronger, faster and tougher."

Listen to what these other fellow trainers, coaches, authors, athletes and experts have to add about the inspirational life stories, passion and the super-practical training information you’ll get with Zach’s masterwork:
"If you are a fitness or strength professional or a serious fitness enthusiast then you must own this book. Read it cover to cover again and again. Over the last 20 years I have interviewed and trained over 1,000 trainers and coaches and I can tell you that there is a powerful, not so obvious difference between a good coach and an OUTSTANDING coach. However, knowing this will transform your life and those you help massively. This is what you will discover in The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning. It is worth its weight in gold."—BILLY BECK III, MET-Rx World's Best Personal Trainer, Personal Fitness Professional Magazine Trainer of the Year, International Presenter, Author, Lean and Mean: Fat Burning Secrets
"The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning should be in the library of every trainer and coach. Zach Even-Esh has filled his book with the kind of wisdom that can only be obtained from years in the trenches making mistakes and learning from them. Zach outlines techniques and tactics to build not only useable strength, but well-rounded athleticism that enhances performance and provides resilience from injury. The ultimate report card for a coach is results, not knowledge of theory. Zach gets results for real people."—CHRIS HARDY, DO, MPH CSCS, Physician, trainer, co-author Strong Medicine
"Zach's wisdom is both bold and heartwarming at the same time. Besides a touching, often humorous story, what Zach provides is an incredibly comprehensive manual which details not only strength and conditioning, but also speed training, muscle building, feats of strength and more. Zach provides years worth of material in this fantastic resource."—DANNY KAVADLO, author, Diamond-Cut Abs
"I have been a strength coach for over 30 years and this by far is one of the most powerful strength training books I have read. It’s a tool that every strength coach, new or old, every person who trains new or old, should have in their toolbox. This book will be required reading for all my trainers and athletes from this point on."—COACH JOHN MCKENNA, Athletic Performance Director, Notre Dame High School, Lawrenceville, NJ
"Everything you need to know about getting stronger and mentally tough is covered in detail in this book. If you are looking for a shortcut, or don't have a true desire to work as hard as possible, this book is not for you. This book is all about embracing the effort, doing your best, inspiring everyone around you, and being the consummate leader of your social circle, all while becoming the strongest version of yourself.
This book is loaded with inspirational stories and informational programs that work. Zach's training methods are intense and his passion is unparalleled; if you want to succeed, this book is for you."—MATT WICHLINSKI, Strength Coach, WWE Performance Center
"Zach Even-Esh throws down the gauntlet—challenging you to live strong, think strong, and be strong. The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning inspires and educates allowing you to elevate your training both mentally and physically. The information in this book will not only make you a better athlete, but also a better person."—JON BRUNEY, author, Neuro-Mass
"This book clearly speaks to the duality of strength training; the internal and the external. Zach first provides a compelling rationale for the pursuit of strength and then delivers, as promised in the title, an encyclopedic manual on exactly how to attain it.
Zach covers the mindset and modalities of true strength building. It's all here; barbell and dumbbell work, odd-object lifts, calisthenics, kettlebells, ropes and running. I've seen Zach in action with his athletes. He is ‘for real’ and so are his methods. If you want to coach yourself or others to greatness, you need this book!"—MIKE GILLETTE, Performance Coach, Member Martial Arts Masters Hall-of-Fame
"Zach Even-Esh’s Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning provides a very resourceful guide to proper training and most importantly a call to action that you never miss a workout again! Zach guides you through how to train hard whether you have the luxury of a gym or the good fortune of a stone, a friend, a playground, a picnic table, a tire, a sandbag, a keg, or—heck —the truck that’s parked in your driveway."—JOE DI STEFANO, BS, CSCS, PES, CES, Co-creator, Spartan Race’s SGX Certification
"Zach not only shares his deep knowledge of training in his book but also shares his journey on how he got there. This is the book I wish I had read in my early years of training and am now ecstatic to have it on my bookshelf. I 100% recommend this book to anyone desiring to find their passion. Zach is a true inspiration and I am honored to also call him my friend."—MICHAEL BLEDSOE, CEO Fitr.tv, Barbell Shrugged Podcast, Faction Strength & Conditioning, CrossFit Memphis

Punch a ticket to ride with Zach—and enter the exalted territory of the "Soul Athlete"…
"Soul Athletes" see the whole world as their physical-transformation playground. Doesn’t matter where you are—you work with what you got…trees, sand, tires, sledgehammers, kettlebells, barbells, ropes, trucks, sandbags, ocean, kegs, stones, sleds, bodyweight, free weights, training partners, playgrounds, scaffolding, park benches…whatever you can lift, pull, grind, push, run with, jump over, grab…
The soul athlete engages with his total environment with deep passion, for the love of it, for the blissful pain of it—and for the shear unadulterated FUN of it…
There can be no excuses in the life of the soul athlete because, well, there ARE no excuses! It’s ALL good!
So: if you want to plunge into the mystic pain and know the glory and the ecstasy of the soul athlete—you have definitely arrived at the right place.

"When I first met Zach I was 135 pounds soaking wet and a sub-500 wrestler. In a little more than a year I packed on 15 pounds of muscle and was pound-for-pound one of the strongest guys on my wrestling team. The underground program transformed me physically and mentally from zero wins my freshman year of college, to having successful junior and senior seasons as a captain of the Rutgers wrestling team.
Not only did I benefit athletically from the underground methods, but Zach's approach to training, coaching, and life played a major role in detouring my career path as I completed college. My experience at the Underground helped inspire me to pursue a career that allows me to cultivate training environments that constantly challenge athletes of all ages to be ‘comfortable being uncomfortable’ as Zach says.
The Encyclopedia of Underground Strength and Conditioning is the secret formula people have been searching for, and it's finally compiled into one place for everyone to see. I personally experienced the Underground methods, and have seen the transformation every one of my athletes has experienced. There's no doubt that Underground Strength and Conditioning will have a major influence on my athletes' programming for years to come."—MICHAEL DEMARCO, Motives Movement – Owner, The Helm CrossFit – Owner, Rutgers Wrestling 12
