Decades of experience as a lifelong athlete, coach, sports reporter, entrepreneur, bodybuilding judge, and Olympia Champion Coach. Connected to over 50 Pro Card wins and professional bodybuilding victories across five divisions, with experience coaching NFL personnel and Special Ops Military. Mandus built Underground Athletes University to pass down the wisdom that only comes from a lifetime in the arena.

Integrative Naturopathic Medical Physician, professor at the University of New Mexico, television wellness host, clinic founder, and IFBB Professional Men's Physique bodybuilder. Dr. Springer brings the perspective of a physician and educator who understands both the science and the performance side of health — and leads the UAU Telehealth program.

20x IFBB Champion, 2x New York Pro winner, 5x Top 5 Arnold finisher, 7x Top 10 Olympia finisher, 9x Olympian, bodybuilding judge, and media influencer. Professor Brown brings champion-level discipline, mindset, and performance knowledge to every manual and program he contributes to.








Not at all. While the team has elite-level credentials, the education is built for everyday learners, coaches, parents, adults over 40, and anyone committed to becoming stronger physically and mentally.
Your manuals are delivered through your own account login — no digging through email for PDFs. Everything is organized in one place and formatted to read well on mobile.
One manual is a great starting point if you have one specific goal. If you want a more complete education across training, nutrition, mindset, and performance, the bundles offer better coverage and better value.
You get immediate access through your login.
You start by completing an online application and medical questionnaire. From there, you'll schedule a telehealth consultation with our provider, who will evaluate your goals and health history. If appropriate, a personalized treatment plan and prescription will be developed for you.
Qualification is determined after a medical evaluation. Certain conditions may affect eligibility. All therapies are prescribed only when clinically appropriate by a licensed healthcare provider.
These are not generic manuals. Each manual is built from decades of coaching, competition, medical insight, and real-world performance experience. The value is the time, guesswork, and mistakes it can help you avoid.
Join Underground Athletes University today and stop guessing about your training, nutrition, and performance.
