Hey Animals,

While Chicago and Philly are planning get togethers it got me thinking, what about us here in NorCal. We don't have deep dish like ChiTown or cheesesteak like Philly, but we got sun and Animals. So let me hear some input from you NorCal Animals, we want to get together and train? We can meet anywhere we can all get too and show the Legion that even though we are laid back in Cali that it doesn't extend to our training. We know intensity.

Even tho im Socal, I am still interested in this. Would be cool if we could get the so and norcal animals alltogether in a remote location, but I guess that would just be a hassle. Anyways, I'm down.

Nor Cal at heart, but my ass is stuck in the desert...Dont let this fall thru the cracks bros...Any chance to train with a fellow Animal should not be passed up...

I also love with G is doing on the East Coast----and if the creeks dont rise..Im there....even if I have to thumb a ride....bag in hand...sups and a few munchies...Im there.....but John...for getting a N Cal gig.......its all good and Im fucken ready...and to my fellow animals out there...I have met John....and he is a super human...great dad...and a true animal spirited fellow.....you could not wish to meet a finer person....

Russ you know I'll be there before you can say New York Strip Steak.... I know how much you love your steak. haha.

But I think if you do that, you will need to call a restaurant before hand to let them know we are coming..... I have a little appetite after I train. ;-)

I know what you mean man. My girl is my life as well. The best woman I could have ever asked god to bring me. Her birthday was on Sunday, and since I spent most of my money spending that time down there in FL when she was sick, I couldnt visit her. I sent her my 4 XL World Gym sweatshirt along with my old "Squat Til You Puke" shirt (she just signed up at a gym with her mom) as a little something. As for today, I have some shoulder work and some good ol eating and rest since I have the day off work. We are going to need to take a group photo for sure. I can't wait to see that banner displayed at the cage, and hanging out with you and the rest of the Animal Crew.

I usually start out with Preachers or a Dumbbell movement first in my bicep movement to warm up my joints and wrists especially... You can never beat good ol barbell curls.

I thought of another song to throw in the mix... "Welcome to the Jungle." A true classic when you are sweating and throwing down with some crazy weight.

Let me say that this was the most fun I have had in the gym in a long time. Meeting Bear and Hoffdog (Sean) in person for the first time was a special treat for me. And seeing Russ again was the best. We worked arms and let me say that it was intense and we would have it no other way. I will post as much of the weights used as I can recall.

BB Curls 4 sets last set we all used 135 pounds, reps between 3 and 6

Preacher Curls 4 sets last set was with 70 plus the bar

Alt DB Curls running the rack 65/55/45/35/25

Plate loaded preachers 4 sets 70 pounds just to pump it out

CGBP 4 sets last set 230 this was fun and intense

Overhead DB extensions 4 sets last sets were drop sets 100/80/60 Bear did a 40 as well

Pressdowns 4 sets last set was a drop set 135/95/65/35

Plate loaded dips drop set 320/270/180/90

Then we went and destroyed an all you can eat chinese buffet. Bear put us all to shame.


Again, let me say that for me that meeting Bear and Sean was the best part. They are both great Animals but better human beings. It wan an honor to train with Russ, Alex and Sean. I will cherish this day.

Typing right now is a chore, thank god John drove. It was great meeting everyone, and an honor to work out with them...we will see how happy I am tomorrow morning though.

This was an intense day, great arm workout as LD posted, we killed it! I was pushed hard, and hopefully helped to push the other animals to their limits.

Buffet...well just let me tell you to stay out of Bear's way at the buffet!

Can't forget those 100lb hammers for sets of 6 per arm...Haha. All 3 of you guys are great, and from the bottom of my heart, this was the most sickest and craziest fucking training session I ever had. *cough cough* dumbbell hole in the wall *cough cough*. Or when russ split his head open and it was squirting out blood and brain matter and he used it as "war paint".... Ok, well maybe that didn't happen, but there was blood.


......."THATS IT?!" Haha.

Let me say that this was the most fun I have had in the gym in a long time. Meeting Bear and Hoffdog (Sean) in person for the first time was a special treat for me. And seeing Russ again was the best. We worked arms and let me say that it was intense and we would have it no other way. I will post as much of the weights used as I can recall.

BB Curls 4 sets last set we all used 135 pounds, reps between 3 and 6

Preacher Curls 4 sets last set was with 70 plus the bar

Alt DB Curls running the rack 65/55/45/35/25

Plate loaded preachers 4 sets 70 pounds just to pump it out

CGBP 4 sets last set 230 this was fun and intense

Overhead DB extensions 4 sets last sets were drop sets 100/80/60 Bear did a 40 as well

Pressdowns 4 sets last set was a drop set 135/95/65/35

Plate loaded dips drop set 320/270/180/90

Then we went and destroyed an all you can eat chinese buffet. Bear put us all to shame.


Again, let me say that for me that meeting Bear and Sean was the best part. They are both great Animals but better human beings. It wan an honor to train with Russ, Alex and Sean. I will cherish this day.Damn this was a good day, and warning when working our with LD...dropsets are sprung upon you without notice!

Nothing in the world feels better than a ice cold shower after a brutal session. I just wanted let you guys know it was a REAL and humbling experience to train with all. From the top, to the bottom of my heart, you are all my friends for life. Again, thank you John for coming up with the idea for this and most of all, for making the commute down here. Next time, Russ and I will be heading up to your neighborhood for a little back work. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did and have a story to tell by the water cooler tomorrow at work.

Im here fellas....and doing just fine...first I gotta admit...that the night before the workout I did some nutty things....stayed out dancing with my girl till 2:30am....got home by around 4am after dropping off her friends...then Natalie and I stayed together for a while at my place to chill and got her home by 6am...then got back to my place by 6:30 and slept till around 9am.....so just over 2 hours sleep....acting like a youngster...and damit....sometimes I can hang...and I did not yawn once...but when I got home...at about 5pm....and after a 5 plate lunch gorge at the buffet with the animals.....I just sat on the couch in my jammies...and crashed till 9pm...woke up for food....and had a hard time sleeping as usual due to things on my mind..but its ok I guess...and Im ready for chest tonight with my girl and the pain continues my brothers..

Our gathering was an absolute blast...and an honor. Bear was my co pilot...even though he has 100 pounds on me...we hang on the iron as he pushed me to do hammer curls with the 100's..and knocked off 4 each side...it was a great feeling. I got in line for the tri-seated extentions...a move I dont do due to shoulder issues....and had the BEAR feed me the 100's...80's and 60's for the drop sets and on the first set...I chashed my skull....put a nice dent in my head and blead like I was hit with a samuri blade..but my Natalie got me patched up and back in the line up quick for the next set...she kidded with me..."Honey...its the bald spot...you can put a band aid there...""....lol......but did not and I take this kind of kidding all the time from her..but I love her beyond words...she is my wonderful sweetheart. Bear got me to do the 135 BB curls...which I have been practicing with...and got 4...and felt good...."no body parts have fallen off yet".....
The day was fantastic....meeting Sean was a true pleasure...what a great human...good people...and we hit it off right away...the chemestry between us all was great...like we have done this for years...we got in...took some photos of the banner and us all ...and hit the racks running...
.
John was amazing...he is a true animal...a real strong heart...and a wonderful family man...he as the others are my good good friends and would train with them anytime..anyplace. JOhn....my blessings to you for getting this started...its a dream come true bro...and you are the man behind this happening.

Sean....thanks so much for coming down and for cutting the music CD....listened to it in the car and I honestly felt like going back to the gym and training again...and I proud to know you served our country....a Marine and a keeper of the peace he was back in D. Storm...so my respects to you my friend...ooooraaaahhhh. I shoulda known after seeing you train you were a Marine....he went to the end and I mean the rugged end of where the body says...NO MORE!!!!!..a true man here bro's

.Bear...you hang with me like a champion...and you can call me grandpa anytime fucker...long as you dont crush me when I call you suzie...lol....to all my animals out there....BEAR is amazing...he has overcome some of lifes hardest challenges....managed to stear clear of the temtations that the young have out there...and turned out to be a fine young man..and an honor to know. Bear...you big suzie......you pushed me again...and I love every thread of pain I feel now....its what I needed...and you delivered. You see ...BEAR and I have a way about us when we train....we taunt each other...in a nice way....when I see him grab any DB under 100 I call him SUZI...and when I approach the 100's he calls me grandpa....and it goes from there...but we feed off of each others energy...and with respect..he knows how to deliver the motivation...and I appreciate it so much coming from him.

To my Honey Natalie for running down the power charger for the camera..."I did not pre flight the battery ....my bad!!...but she was so dead from the night before but got down to the gym looking so sweet and in about 20 mins...so to my Natalie....my ever lasting love and respect ...you are my dream girl....the best....

Fit 19 in Fremont did a great job in letting us tare it up....Kevin...the Manager there that day was great...he just left us alone to grunt and groan and was so nice to take some photos of us in front of the gym with the banner. The photos are in Natalies camera..but I dont have the cord to transfer to the system...so when she comes to my place later...that will happen..and Ill get good at posting the photos....and they came out great.

to all my brothers in iron out there...this was a great day....a day of extended family...a day of iron pushing blunt force trauma to the body heart pounding lifting.....it was great....the chmestry was great ...the buffet was super...but the friendships....hopfuly are for life....

what we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived...and on sunday..we lived...we trained...we became one unit under one symbol....ANIMAL......

Hey NorCal Animals, lets talk about getting another session together here in Sacramento, maybe the middle of November. Last time me, Hoffdog, Bear and k1usa had a great day, lets see if we can get some more local Animals involved (Rhetoric, you hear me?)

So lets see who is up for it, we can find a place like maybe Hoffdogs gym and lets tear it up.

So, who is ready??

Bear
10-21-07, 4:28 pm

Hey NorCal Animals,

So we can give k1usa enough time to get all settled, how does Saturday December 1st sound. I know it is aways off, but with enough notice maybe we can even get Rhetoric involved. PMd G Diesel and he said give him a couple of weeks notice and he will send us some goodies from corp. We are so lucky to have good people like Universal/Animal behind all of this, what a great company.

Let me know if that works!
