Why I wrote this Special Re p o r t

Like many of you guys I started out in the world of competition. I started weightlifting about 8 years in an effort to get faster on my BMX bike, and I really wanted to impress some girls . You see at the time I was every bit of 170lbs skinny and weak. This was not the ideal body type of a wanna be pro athlete who wanted to get some girls.
At the time I did what many of you guys probably did went to the bookstore bought a couple magazines and joined the local franchise gym.

-6-
Now after about 2 years of lifting at that gym I had made some decent gains and now weighed about 185lbs(I know dont laugh) and still wasnt fast enough to turn pro on my bike. Confused I searched the internet for anything that might help me and I stumbled onto a life changing article Westside For Skinny Bastards written by coach Joe Defranco

-7-
This article made sense and I dove into head first, and the gains started coming. I began to get stronger and stronger and then after another few months I was over the 200lb barrier and significantly faster while riding my bike. So by now I was on a mission and I kept getting stronger but still in the back of my mind something was missing? Although I was still getting stronger I just didnt feel as athletic as I should have been. Then came a disastrous day. I was still training at the local Ballys gym and it was Deadlift day (my favorite), I was gearing up for a monstrous 405 pull (I know cut me some slack lol).

-8-
I was in the Zone fired up reached into my bag grabbed some chalk (which wasnt allowed in the gym), grabbed the bar and ripped it off the floor and completed my first rep Always trying to improve myself I went right into rep #2 and got it just above the knee I was grinding but it wasnt moving, my grip gave out and the rep ended with a big crash as the weight hit floor. Psyched I unracked the weights (which doesnt happen to often in the commercial gyms) and was putting them back when Mr. Head personal trainer told me to stop by the office on my way out, I obliged Grabbed my bag and went into the office only to be told I was a disruption to the member and he was going to politely cancel my contract and I was to be on my way. I was baffledI didnt know what to do, the gym was my life and this guy just took that from me.
-9-
Still this idiot was not gonna stop me, I still wasnt a pro on my bike and I was finally starting to get recognized by the opposite sex. Without any money and with no intention of joining another commercial gym to be told I cant lift the way I want, I faced quite a predicament Thank god for Google because without It never would have known there were people just like me all over the world that came together at a website called Undergroundstrengthcoach.com and it was run by Zach Even Esh. He opened my Eyes to the options of bodyweight training, odd object lifting and that I could have a gym in my garage I was fired upI saved up money bought a barbell set and went to town, next thing you know I had an all out underground strength empire in my parents garage.
- 10 -
By know I was on a whole new level and finally able to turn pro on my bike and was competing regularly but my passion for strength was running deep.

- 11 -
Everything was coming together and I was attending seminars going to conventions meeting all the guys that I looked up to, I was on another planet. While reading Zachs site one day I read of a guy who was starting outdoor bootcamps in my local area His name just so happened to be Elliott Hulse, and he was beginning his strength camp empire and we became friends and I havent left his gym since.

- 12 -
I still had not found the ultimate combination of training methods until me and Elliott went to Sarasota for a seminar with local strongman Tom Mitchell. He put me and Elliott through what at the time was the most insane workout of my lifebut I was hooked. I had found the holy grail of training styles STRONGMAN. You see with a combination of strongman, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and bodyweight exercises you can turn the average person into a lean hybrid muscle monster that can achieve anything in his path. These Styles of training are what separates you as a member of the Syndicate Of Strength from the rest of the world. You see the benefits of all these types of training and will never be locked into 1 type this will accelerate your muscle gains far beyond everyone else.
- 13 -
there are 5 principles that make up the Syndicate Of Strength -Attitude -Powerbuilding -Strongman -Max Effort Conditioning -Simplicity These principles will separate you above everyone else and help you achieve the results you desire.

- 14 -
Attitude
Attitude is first because it is by far the most important component in your role in the syndicate. Attitude is what separates the men from the boys and will help you achieve success in training and life. With attitude you can push yourself beyond your comfort zone and achieve what most will only dream to accomplish.
Do You Have It?

- 15 -
PowerBuilding
Powerbuilding is a term I stole from IFBB bodybuilder Johnny Jackson who just happens to be one of the strongest bodybuilders alive.

- 16 -
This style of training kills 2 birds with one stone by combining strength based full body exercises with accessory work for aesthetic bodybuilding purposes. This builds raw strength and power while packing on much needed mass. A sample routine in this style would go something like this 1) Squat Or Deadlift variation X 1-3 rep max 2) Lunges x10 x 4 sets 3) Stiff Leg deadlifts x 10 x 4 sets 4) Hanging Ab Variation x 10 x 4 sets The possibilities are endless but for the sake of simplicity pick a full body movement and work up to a 1 to 3-rep max. Followed by 3 to 4 exercises for 8-12 reps that will help strengthen the main lift.
- 17 -
Strongman
Training
Strongman training is what I believe to be the best all around type of training one can do to gain huge levels of size and strength.
If youve seen any of the events that they play on ESPN then you probably have a good idea of what this type of training entails.
- 18 -
The main benefit you get from this type of training is what one might consider a hybrid type of muscle that not only contains size and strength but endurance as well. This type of muscle is what I learned after reading the book The Purposeful Primitive written by Marty Gallagher And after studying under pro strongman Elliott Hulse and putting myself through some grueling workouts I can attest to the results that can be achieved through this type of training. These are some of the Implements you want to include into your program. 1) Tractor tires- this is an awesome full body exercise and if you are a man you should be using no less than 400lbs.

- 19 -
2) Kegs or Sandbags- These can be used for numerous exercises but I have had the best luck with clean and press, Loading and long distance carries.
3) Stones- now for most these are going to be hard to come by but atlas stones are a killer full body exercise.

- 20 -
4) Farmers Walk-This can be used with actual farmers walk handles that can be purchased online or you can use heavy dumbbells.

- 21 -
5) Log- this is another great tool some of the exercises we do with the log are clean and press as well as all type of pressing variations.
6) Sled Training- Thos can be anything from a tire to a metal sled, just load it up heavy and pull it.

- 22 -
There are many ways to implement this type of training into your program but I have had good luck with just picking 2 or 3 things and sticking with them for either time or till you puke (lol).

- 23 -

- 24 -
Max Effort Conditioning

This is a very grueling type of training and it doesnt cater to the weak A good max effort conditioning session will make you very uncomfortable but it will push your limits and realize the body can go a lot farther than what you currently believe. In the fewest words possible max effort conditioning will make you stronger, tougher and able to push yourself far past any treadmill will let you go. To keep this short and in a nutshell you take a heavy weight and do it either for a lot of reps, or carry a heavy weight really far There are many ways and exercises you can use to do this so I am gonna list some of my favorite pukers.

- 25 -
1) Farmers Walk for 100yds or farther 2) Keg carries with heavy weight for 100yds 3) 20 rep squats 4) Heavy 20 rep deadlifts 5) High rep Keg or Sandbag loads The cool thing about these is they can actually become the whole workout and as you can see they dont require any fancy equipment. So next time you think about doing your conditioning on the treadmill think twice and be a man.

- 26 -
Simplicity
This perhaps is the most important principle but often the most overlooked. I know im guilty out of itwe can take the most basic program and turn it upside down to the point were a rocket scientist couldnt figure out what to do next. If your reading this and your just starting out best advice I can give you is pick a program and just follow it, dont change it or add your own just follow it. Sometimes my best workout only included 1 exercise and I just worked that one movement until I was done. Some would disagree with this but I challenge you to do clean and presses for an hour and call me in the morning. So if youre a seasoned veteran to the lifting world even we need a reminder that the basics always work.

Zach Even Esh- Became infatuated with strength training and the physical body since age 13. He loved the gym and could spend all day in the gym if allowed. It wasnt rare to find him doing his homework in the gym while sitting at the juice bar enjoying his favorite protein shake. His dream was to open a hard core gym. A gym for bodybuilders, very much like Golds Gym Venice from the Golden Era back when guys like Arnold, Franco, Ken Waller, Robby Robinson and Frank Zane trained together. H was obsessed with intense training and camaraderie.

- 37 -
He had been to countless gyms where the atmosphere was dead and the members didnt seem much more alive than walking zombies. He HATED this with a passion and he hated the shitty music that came along with it. He vowed to find a way to open something that brought in those who wanted a great atmosphere blended with great training. After 12 years of bodybuilding training He hit a wall. He was frustrated with my lack of high level performance in athletics compared to the effort he put forward with his workouts. He had experienced too many injuries by age 25 to keep me following the programs that he was finding through the newsstands. At age 26, he tore his ACL while training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and that set him over the top.

- 38 -
It was time to make a change and find a new way to train himself. He had plans on sharing all my information with other serious fitness enthusiasts and athletes. So his journey began training athletes when He still lived at home under his parents roof. He used the garage, the back yard and a few busted up local playgrounds. He was too poor to use fancy equipment or even a barbell, He began using stones, axes, sledge hammers and bodyweight movements derived from Gymnastics. The results blew him away and shocked him beyond words. he thought it was luck. He studied his ass off and contacted any strength coach who was willing to share there methods.

- 39 -
Guys like Louie Simmons, Dave Tate, Jim Wendler, Alwyn Cosgrove, Joe DeFranco and Pavel Tsatsouline helped shape his methods as he blended them with his own experinces and in the trenches methods. His goal? Simple yet aggressive: To help fitness enthusiasts do what they love and make a great living doing so. For the athletes, it is to transform them physically and mentally from ordinary into extraordinary in ways that they will always remember and will always give them the extra edge in all areas of their life.
