Rules Of The Syndicat e
Rule #1- only you decide who gets this report…please
choose wisely as you represent a subculture that is going to
take over the fitness world…

Rule #2- who you are while in the syndicate is not who you
are in real life…

Rule #3- If this is the first time reading this YOU HAVE
TO LIFT WEGHT…

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


-3-
The Syndicate is the reason for going to lift weights and
push you to new levels. The gyms these days are
overpopulated with guys trying to look like men…as if
being a man represents pansy ass workouts and soft bloated
muscle.

You aren’t alive anywhere like you are when you are lifting
as a member of the Syndicate.

Lifting isn’t about winning or losing it much more than


that…

When you become a member of the Syndicate you may be


soft and out of shape…but in 6 months you will be carved
out of stone…

You will trust yourself to conquer anything life may throw


at you; it is more than just looking good this is about
achieving maximum human potential.

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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


-6-
Now after about 2 years of lifting at that gym
I had made some decent gains and now
weighed about 185lbs(I know don’t laugh)
and still wasn’t 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…

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


-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 didn’t feel as


athletic as I should have been.

Then came a disastrous day….

I was still training at the local Bally’s gym and it was


Deadlift day (my favorite), I was gearing up for a
monstrous
405 pull (I know cut me some slack lol).

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


-8-
I was in the Zone fired up reached into my bag grabbed
some chalk (which wasn’t 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 wasn’t
moving, my grip gave out and the rep ended with a big
crash as the weight hit floor.

Psyched… I unracked the weights (which doesn’t 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 baffled…I didn’t know what to do, the gym was my


life and this guy just took that from me.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


-9-
Still this idiot was not gonna stop me, I still wasn’t 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 can’t 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 up…I 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.

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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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 Zach’s 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 haven’t left his gym since.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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 life…but 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.

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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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?

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

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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.
Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com
- 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 you’ve seen any of the events that they play on ESPN


then you probably have a good idea of what this type of
training entails.
Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com
- 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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


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

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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).

Max Effort Conditioning

This is a very grueling type of training and it doesn’t 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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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 don’t require any
fancy equipment.

So next time you think about doing your conditioning on


the treadmill think twice and be a man.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 26 -
Simplicity

This perhaps is the most important principle but often the


most overlooked.

I know im guilty out of it…we can take the most basic


program and turn it upside down to the point were a rocket
scientist couldn’t 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, don’t
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 you’re 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
wasn’t 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 Gold’s 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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 37 -
He had been to countless gyms where the atmosphere was
dead and the members didn’t 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.

Created by Ryan Magin www.MuscleGainingExperts.com


- 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.
