Welcome to our second week of workouts designed by Zach Even-Esh, leader of the Underground Strength Nation. Zach’s workouts are all about hard core, old school strength and conditioning. Over the course of four weeks you will do everything from kettlebells, to Olympic lifting, to rope climbs, to ring work, and more.
Three new workouts are posted each week, starting on Monday, and can be done on any day you have available. Make sure you warm up adequately before starting any of these workouts!
