www.unconventionalathletes.com BE INSPIRED DITCHING ALCOHOL FOR UNCONVENTIONAL BRYAN ZUREK ON HOW UNCONVENTIONAL TRAINING SAVED HIS LIFE. A VERY PURE AND BRUTAL APPROACH TO STRENGTH AND CARDIO CONDITIONING BACKGROUND: I am BRYAN ZUREK; I have been married for 25 years and have 3 daughters and a Pit-bull. I love music, a guitar player since a young age...........I have no fitness background at all...but I did work on commercial printing presses for 23 years. THIS trade can be brutal.12 hours a day, no breaks, moving rolls they weigh 500 to 3000#s. Putting the 90# shafts in the core of the roll, sometimes every 20 minutes, depending on how fast we ran the press, which was about 15 to 20 row homes long, 2 stories high. Also carrying 5-gallon water jugs and 30# ink kits around, up and down the press all day. Lets just say this job kept me in shape. FILLING THE VOID: I LOST MY JOB.I got a 40 hour a week job. More time with my family, but more time to drink more beer. I started drinking alot. My waist went from a 32 to a 36.Way out of shape. GETTING MY S##T TOGETHER! I woke up with the flu and a hangover, sick in bed for a week. Did not have a beer for a week. Then I went another week without a beer. I started to see my belly go down. IT felt good. SO I pulled out my old curling bar from high school with 30#s on it and started to lift. Knowing I could not get a weight rack in my house, I needed something smaller. NATURE. INSPIRATION AND UNLEASHING THE INNER WARRIOR! SURFING the net I discovered the kettlebell and I also seen this big guy pulling an anchor through the sand. WOW! THATS IT.Thats what I wanted to do. It was not to long after that that Henk BAKKER and I started to talk on Issue 03 - NOVEMBER/DECEMBER EDITION 2015 Page 24
www.unconventionalathletes.com THAT is where I unleash my inner WARRIOR.I put down the beer fOR a stone, and never looked back Facebook. HE motivated me so much. A great guy...............NATURE. That is where I like to be. THAT is where I unleash my inner WARRIOR.I put down the beer for a stone and never looked back. As you get more conditioned you can add a moderate incline! Remember where the object is placed after the ½ mile lift, in Part 3 of the method you will come back to it! USE THE ELEMENTS!! MY training is simple, basic, mostly full body workouts. Put me in a Planet FITNESS or GOLDS GYM, I WOULD not even know what to do there. But give me a stone and a log and I will give you brutal training. Hellish heat, freezing cold, rain, nothing holds me back. I am out there to destroy the workout and push my body hard, EVERYDAY.So one of my workouts is pretty basic, and it will test your strength and endurance. It is called BEAR. THE BEAR METHOD!!! BEAR is played out at my park a few blocks away. I do this 2 to 3 times a week. This is one of my Unconventional Methods, but man this will crazy work you! Paraphernalia 1) log145# 2) 145# Carrying stone 3) 90 # throwing stone. Technique: ODD OBJECT SHOULDER CARRY 1) I shoulder carry the 90# stone around the half mile long pond to wear me down a little, you can adapt by finding flat terrain with loose holding ground (this will add to the intensity) THE LOG FLIP 2) My next venture (this is with no rest after step 1), the log flip, end over end. Please note i) Squat position to lift. ii) Explosive power to throw up hard so it comes back to your hands. iii) Push that log with brute force back to earth. iv) Don’t just let it drop. This log is flipped for 50 yards on a downgrade, you can take a very short break at the halfway mark if you like but I would suggest battling through it to get the best workout. Remember where you have put the Log because you will come back to this in part 3. VIOLENT THROW INTO DEADLIFT 3) Walk back to the 145# stone at the start point. i) DEADLIFT this with a violent throw to the belly and carry it 50 yards back to where you left the log, drop it gently when you reach it. ii) Go back to the 90# throw stone. OH YES, THIS IS JUST BRUTE STRENGTH. Squat position to grab the stone, throw up to shoulder then press overhead. iii) From the overhead position launch that stone as far as you can. Just remember, the farther you throw it, the less times you pick it up. Iv) The throws are for 50 yards down to the log and boulder. Issue 03 - NOVEMBER/DECEMBER EDITION 2015 Page 25
