I wanna go old school and make the Lincoln Park Powerhouse an updated version of Golds Gym in Venice and have me and every other Detroit area animal replace Arnold, Ken Whaller, Franco, Mike Katz, etc. PRIVATE MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ORGANIZING A D-TOWN TRAINING SESSION. WE'LL GET PICS AND VIDS AND EVERYTHING.

You are mos def up for animal of the month two training session in two states damn a special award should be made just for you...

LegendKillerJosh
09-21-07, 10:12 am
Let's do this at the Lincoln Park Powerhouse. If everybody knows where southfield freeway is, all you have to do is take that to fort st, make a right and it's one of the first buildings, super easy for everyone to find. I'm serious about this too, so PM me anyone interested. I'm bringing my digital camcorder with the tripod and my digital camera so we can get sweet pics and vids.

LegendKillerJosh
09-21-07, 10:12 am
And also, there is a train station in dearborn, anyone wants to go that route, I'll pick them up personally, it's only about 15 mins from the gym.

LegendKillerJosh

LegendKillerJosh
09-21-07, 12:52 pm
28th is good for me too. I'm still thinkin we should go with the Lincoln Park Powerhouse. It's so easy to get to from 94, 75, southfield, pretty much anywhere, and if anyone takes a train to dearborn i'll freakin pick them up. I'm getting really damn excited for this.

LegendKillerJosh
09-21-07, 12:53 pm
AND if we go to powerhouse, I know the manager and I can get everyone FREE PASSES for the day.

09-21-07, 3:55 pm
Sorry it took me so long to post. I am definitely down with the training session. I dont care if its at my powerhouse (southfield) or at Lincoln Park.

Josh- I am assuming you know John then? Hes a good guy, I know him pretty well. Doesnt matter to me, I have never been to the Lincoln Park one so it would be cool to go check out.

Rob- I can pick you up since I am like 10 mins from you- that wont be a problem.

Lets do this brothers. Instead of everyone doing there own thing what do you guys think about doing a full upper body workout? Hit 3 sets of 2 excersizes for each muscle? I think it would be cool to check out each others techniques and form ect...Not only should we lift together but we should learn together.

Lemme know what you guys think.

Rob

ghost
09-21-07, 3:58 pm
awesome. i am fucking stoked to get this squared away!! digital, that would be awesome if you could pick me up.

Josh, talk to the manager and see about passes...


does everyone have an Animal Pak shirt of some sorts?

also, i have a pretty sweet digital camera ill bring with me...i will see if my fiance wants to come so she can take the pictures for us, and maybe even some vids too!

LegendKillerJosh
09-21-07, 6:12 pm
Well no I don't actually know John, but he's a member of the forum so he's pretty much family right? But seriously, neither of us are serial killers so anyone who wants a ride is cool with me.

There's only 1 potential problem with doing this on a Sunday - they close at 4 which means we'd need to get in there probably by 2p.m.

2:00, Linkin Park Powerhouse, Im in.


Just one question, if we have a large group of guys, do you think 2 hours will be enough time to do a workout? I mean, it all depends on what bodypart we do, but lets say we throw down on some legs with 5 or 6 guys, is two hours going to be enough time?

Im usually up by about 6am, so I can be there anytime,


Good Luck Brothers

ghost
09-22-07, 7:01 pm
Noon, or 1.?

SomeDayI'llBeXL
09-22-07, 8:31 pm
In my opinion, that would be better. You never no how long its gonna take. Besides, with a group of animals together, we cant waiste a workout like that on arms, we need to be throwing around some serious weight, legs or back is my choice.

LegendKillerJosh
09-22-07, 10:23 pm
1p.m. is good too. I usually work from 7am till 11am on sundays I would still have time to eat and pick up whoever I need to and get there by 1. 3 hours is definitely more than enough time to do this.

ghost
09-23-07, 12:00 am
Alright guys, so then we are in agreement upon October 28th, 2007 at 1pm at the linkin park powerhouse.

I had suggested that we work out a few things a few posts back but I wouldnt mind a chest or back day...or hell both I dont care. I am deaing with a leg injury right now so if you guys go for a leg day I will have to work something else out but I dont wanna hold anyone back either so I am down for whatever.

09-25-07, 11:07 pm
nah, no pairing off...most gyms on Sundays are pretty dead.

we shouldnt have any problem getting pretty much any bench we want.

LegendKillerJosh
09-26-07, 10:42 am
Yeah no doubt...if we go Sunday at 1, their won't be more than like 10 other people there seriously. And there is enough racks, benches, etc. we won't have to wait to get any machine we want.

I have got the guest passes. Everyone has to be a first time guest, never been a member before, and atleast 18. Does anyone not meet those requirements? If you have been a member or used a guest pass before, you'll just have to write down a phony name.

And also, everyone needs to lie and say they are local, so say either Lincoln Park, Taylor, Southgate, Detroit, etc. If you aren't local they won't let you use a guest pass.

Sorry I havent replied in a bit my fellow detroit animals, unfortunately I wont beable to make it today. My little brother was on his motorcycle 2 nights ago and some drunk idiot pulled out infront of him. There isnt a whole lot of protection for you when you are on a bike. By the grace of someone, or something, he didnt die, but hes pretty fucking beat up. I moved him in with me for a few weeks because he cant do much with both his legs in casts. I just cant leave him for that long.......Im really sorry guys, I feel like a real horses ass. Have a great time, cant wait to see the pics.

Thanks to Universal for supps, posters and everything. And the guy at the gym was cool about us hanging up the banner and everything. You will definitely all enjoy, and I'm sure everyone who missed out will be dieing to get in on the action next time.

shit i dont think i can make the 1st....but the 8th i am pretty sure i could get done. if u guys decide to do it on a day i cant make it i will let my training partner know and u guys can just make him twice as hard to make up for me not bein able to make it lol.

I don't think so...if we don't have atleast the original 5 I don't wanna do it, we gotta have everyone there. There has to be 1 day out of the next like 40 that we can all get out of whatever we have to do, right?

I don't think I have anything on the 15th. Even if I do, nothing I can't move around for a sick session. Where we will be training is more of a factor then when for me. So where are we training?
