Been talking to another Cleveland Animal and we are throwing the idea of an Animal training session on the morning of October 13th at the Rocky River Fitworks. Let me know if there are any other animals that want to join.

Had been thinking about an earlier time. Would that make a difference if you could make it?

Also if we need to we can try to find a more central location depending on who will be joining.

RooRooTJ
09-25-07, 10:28 pm
So we are tryin to nail down a time. I am available that day either around 10 am or 2:30. I put out there that we could do it at the Fitworks in Olmsted Falls but if I can get a count of who is coming and where they would be coming from we can find a more central location. So get me your info and we will get this together.

RooRooTJ
09-25-07, 10:28 pm
Also what was everyone thinking for body parts?

John R. Nocero
09-26-07, 6:25 pm
whatever body parts you guys want to do and what time is cool with me. my wife is out of town that weekend. we can hit it hard and then eat big.

Have we gotten a confirmed list of who is attending?

Is everyone on the West side? East side? Are we locked in to Fitworks? Going to need an address for wherever we end up. I can make 11am, work out til about 12:30 or 1p.. then lunch?

I vote for either Delts and Tris.... or Chest and BIs? Anyone up for that?

Keep me posted....

John R. Nocero
10-01-07, 7:46 pm
Flash, I am confirmed. I will fucking be there no matter fucking what.

I am too psyched for this to miss it.

I will do either delts/tris or chest/bis with you and then we will go fucking eat.

I wish I was there guys. I'm from Cleveland, lived there for the first 22 years of my life. I'm in Atlanta now, tho. I'm coming back in December for the holidays, so if you're all down for it, we should make Animal session part II happen.

Represent it well, fellas.

Hey guys, I was just lookin at my Wedding invitation and its not til 2:30.... Meaning depending where this place you all are hittin up is, I might be able to make it. The wedding is in Hudson, so if someone could post the exact location, like address, and exact time since theres a few mentioned, I can def. see what I can do.

Im driving up from Cbus and have to stop in Mansfield to drop off my dog, but thats not a big thing at all.

Thanks!

Shit, checked to see how far the gym is, and 45 mins aint enough time for me, if it was later Id be there.

Anyways, hope its a kickass session, and keep us updated on the next. Maybe I should start a little Columbus thread...

I will give you all I have.

John R. Nocero
10-12-07, 8:14 pm
Hi guys - I am sorry to do this last minute but I don't think I am going to be there tomorrow. I have had some family obligations and issues come up within the last 24 hours. I hope you guys understand. Sometimes the Animal lifestyle means you have to do what you have to do at home. anyone with a wife or children or loved ones for that matter, will understand.

if I cannot be there, kill it boys!

Well wanted to say thanks to the guys that could make it out. I know some people had some last minute things come up, but the guys taht did make it there we had a solid session. I am going to put up the pics for those to see.

Hopefully we can get another one soon and the ones that missed will be able to make it this time. Let me know if you have any ideas and we will try to set something up.

Thanks again to Old Skool and Flash for making it out.

Killed it... yeah.. that's what we did. My Triceps are not DEAD... R.I.P.

Made for an interesting chest workout today. Lots and lots of Flys, Pec Deck, Cable Crossovers, and few sets of Incline Presses. Now, I'll let them rest til the end of the week. Then I'll KILL THEM AGAIN! :)

Got to love it...

Ok lets throw out some dates for the Next Cleveland Chapter. I am thinking anytime from the middle of Nov to the Middle of Dec to give people enough time to set up their schedules. Throw out some dates and locations you would like to see. We did Delts and Tris last time. Thinking Back and Bis, or maybe a Wheels session. Leave your vote for that too.


Oh and I finally received the Animal Banner so we will be all set with that this time.

Have we all decided on a session date?

Just to throw it out there... The new Gold's Gym in Crocker park looks like a great place to train and there are a few places in the same spot to grab some food afterwards...

If we can make this happen in two weeks lets shoot for November 10th if not December 1st. I would like to attend both Cleveland & Akron so let's put this together.

So let's all show everyone how we do it in C-town!

Also if you have a friend or training partner that's interested in attending, get them on the forum. Introduce them to Animal and get them posting on here.

Keep RooRooTJ posted!

10-31-07, 12:47 pm
So how about this for a date.
Dec 1st
Gold's Gym Crocker Park
131 Market Street

This is the tentative date and location. We could also try the Saturday after Thanksgiving if you guys like. Lets take a vote.

I called Gold's to check on the one day membership rate. It's $15.00!

I spoke with the manager to get a group rate. She would give us a $10.00 membership for the day. I did my best to charm her into a cheaper price but thats whats up.

Those that are thinking about the Cleveland session should also look into the Akron/Canton session. This should be a great session and will get you to find some other Animals close by. Bad Ass Martin has this session shaping up to be a great one. It will be held on Nov 17th at 1 so hop on over to the thread and sign up. You'll be glad you did.

Also if you have someone that wants to come to either session, get them on the forum and participating. The more the better.

And I definatly plan on attending the Canton session too.

Ok So we will take votes for either Dec 1st or Dec 2nd. Since the the Akron/Canton session is going to be back and bis, I vote for Chest and tris for this session since alot of us will be going to both. Let put some steam behind this session and get some new guys in here.

December 1st or 2nd is cool with me, I am open both days.

What would all of you Cleveland Animals say about having the next Cleveland ABC meeting professionally filmed? If its not too far away, I'll do it as long as its ok with everyone. I'd understand if it wasn't, I mean I wouldn't want someone filmin' my ass while I'm trying to lift but if you guys are up for it, I am.

Have you been out to an ABC before? We are going to be getting a Cleveland session going in Early March after the Arnold. We do have an Akron/Canton session coming up soon. Why dont you go and check out the thread and maybe come out and lift big with us and see what it is all about.

Roo, did you mean May 2 or June 2? April 2nd was yesterday bro. Blame it on the lack of carbs lol...

Anyway, you know I'm down for whatever. The last couple gyms I went to in Akron were sweet, but I know this is more of a Cleveland session....I'm not familiar with any Cleveland gyms so whatever you guys decide on is fine with Big C.

hey... well I'm all moved into my apartment. And joined a gym.... There is NOTHING hardcore looking about the gym but it certainly has about everything I could ever possibly want. I joined URBAN Fitness in the Legacy Village, I guess it used to be a Gold's gym...
And shew, I'm impressed they have it all there....
Only thing I don't like is it is abit further than what I would have liked, but the closest gym was a bally's and it was just plain pathetic.

Barbender (Paul Vargo) (World Champion bench presser) wants to have a session at his new gym that he just recently purchased...he would love to have the Akron crew, Cleveland crew, Pittsburgh crew and anyone else that is local or near by to start having some sessions there. Plus we could have one big session there with all the local chapters. It is in Hermitage,PA which is not very far away at all. Is anyone interested in this? Below is a message he wanted me to relay to you guys!

Hey brothers. This is Paul "The Barbender" Vargo. I just wanted everyone to know I recently purchased my own gym in Hermitage, PA. It is right on the line almost half way between Cleveland, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA. I just wanted to see if there was interest in me starting up the "Barbenders Gym" Chapter of the ABC. I talked to Lewy23 and he said he was all in. Bringing the boys from Akron, Pittsburgh, and the group from around me could make for a good time. If the powers that be allow, is there interest out there?
