Anyone in Pittsburgh or surrounding area...

Looking at an old school gym in Ambridge (about 20 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh) Highway 65 north you will run right into it .....across the street from O'neil Steel and Kopple Steel mills...Owner is down to earth and all about it...

if we get enough people we can get the date locked...

get some people, Lift some weights, and go feed our faces...

Man if i still lived in PA i would be there. Use to live in Butler. Hang on to the idea, i'll be back up during the x-mas holiday for 2 weeks. Maybe we can hit it up a day then. try to burn off all the extra cals from x-mas dinner.

we are shooting nov-dec....Erik "house" said he will try to make it if he gets time and his schedual lightens up around that time so that would be a sick leg or back day....

Where at in butler are you from I just moved from Aliquippa, to Mercer and now looking in cranberry

Extreme

Lived in East Butler, just off of 422. Use to work just outside of Cranberry at 3 Rivers Ice Cream. Cranberry's a good place to live and it's growing faster than a lot of other places in PA. Man, if we could get together late December with House that would be awesome. I'd never forget that workout, probably never recover from it either, lol. I do know of a good, old school gym that we could use too. Owner use to be Mr. Pennsylvania at one point. Has moslty free weights, blasts the music, and keeps an intense vibe going in the gym. I plan on meeting up with him no matter what when I'm there in December.

Gym is in down town Butler. Jeff Harlan (dont know if thats the correct spelling) is the owner. It's called J&M Fitness. Its been a few years but I think he is still there. But a gym is a gym for me, as long as it's got Db's, squat rack, bench's, and incline bench's i'm good to go.

Brutus_515

Good to see some more support rolling in on this idea. It's awesome to see how so many of us from all around can unite with a common interest. I'll be up in the Pittsburgh area, more specifically Butler, from December 22 - 31. If we can all decide on a time and place I'm in, and I don't have a problem traveling closer to Pittsburgh if I have to. Oh, and for Broken_515, I'm currently in Warner Robins, GA. Coming home to the cold and snow for the holidays.

Extreme
10-02-07, 8:42 am
Could possibly work for me. I'll be driving to PA from GA on the 21st, mainly at night. I'm hoping to get into PA by 9am. If we schedule something for the afternoon I should be good to go. Just need a few hours rest to rejuvinate myself.

Brutus_515
10-02-07, 9:29 am
If you have any suggestion let me know I know a few people have to work on week days but since the holidays are close they might be off...I will take the day off of work for this

Extreme
10-02-07, 9:36 am
Any day but Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be fine with me. Don't really have much planned while I'm there, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Whatever will work best for those of you that live there.

Big Pete
10-02-07, 2:27 pm
but don't forget about me lil' bro...if i have to drive through 4 feet of snow up here like last year...we may have to make it later than afternoon!! hahaha...

Yeah I know we will get it figured out I will get ahold of Erik and see if he has any time around those dates

Demographically what are some other gyms would anyone perfer south or north of the city?......Butler, Allegheny, Beaver I know a few of us are all spread out but we can throw down a few places for that week

G Diesel
10-18-07, 11:19 am
Looks like those roughneck Western PA boys mean business... I know a good gym in the Pittsburgh outskirts. I'm gonna have to holler at my boy House and see what's what. Peace, G

Your damn right G. We're all work and no play, lol.

North of the City would be best for me, but only b/c I'll be staying in Butler. I know a little bit of Allegheny and some of Monroeville, but don't have a clue when it comes time to Beaver. Oh and I know the Cranberry area fairly well too. But like I said I'm fairly open to when and where. I can always just map quest the location.

Brutus_515
10-18-07, 1:10 pm
First off G thanks for the involvement your the fucking man!!


Ex! Hey man if you need, me and Pete are north up in mercer so we can alway snag you up on the way down...just found out J&M switched hands and isnt really the same type of gym anymore.....and for all intesive pruposes i think it would be best to go alittle closer to the city for every one Chaz is down in West Mifflin by kennywood and a few guys are from newcastle so why not try to find neutral ground......and if anyone from WV wants to head up from wheeling or weirton that would be easier to find around moon or robinson......


SOME ONE PICK A DATE!!! haha

Sounds good to me bro. Glad to see some good involvement and interest. Sucks to hear about J&M, that place use to be awesome. I heard through the grape vine they changed names and everything. The intensity style gyms are getting to be few and far between. As far as dates go the 27-29 are best for me, just don't know about everyone's work schedule and getting time off.

Brutus_515
10-18-07, 1:31 pm
I need to burn up my PTO days by march so I can do what ever Pete should be on break or atleast get the day off...Right man?.......other than that we just need some mo people...yeah I wasnt aware some chick who competed in the NPC mid atlantic in WV told me about J&M changing hands...I was surprised i heard nothing but good things about that place but there is a newer YMCA right between portersville and cranberry so they probubly ate up most of the members....sucks but thats the way of the beast i guess...


I train at the Oxford athletic club in wexford right now....It aint very animal but it has everything you could think of

10-29-07, 10:40 am
Looking good fella's. I'll be in PA till the 31st of December. As long as plans dont change count me in on this one. I'll be anxious to get to a gym after eating mom's home cooking for a week. I see a time and place, do we have any particular body part we'll be blasting on this day?

Brutus_515
10-29-07, 10:44 am
I guess it depends on how many folks actually show up we can split up or just hit everything together...I am always down for a good back day

I'm down for a good back w/o. It's always good to get a good burn going when working on the ole back. And I'm sure we'll all get tore up Animal style too.

Brutus_515
10-29-07, 11:06 am
Just a refferce point for everyone the gym is right off of 65 north just north of swickley


It is the middle ground from almost everyone attending.....I live 2 miles away but there are folks from like 2 hours north coming and people from the other side of pittsburgh so it is pretty much smack dab in the center....

Brutus_515
10-29-07, 12:55 pm
Actually Read this in another thread, Just wanted to see if it would be in the intrest of the people attended....a BBQ after the training session?

Very simple some chicken beef and steak have the old ladys get some stuff together to bring bring the family after the training session sit around and bullshit or whatever.....

We can do it in the parking lot but since it is december and probubly going to be cold as shit outside I will invite all attendees to the house bring the family make a day out of it.....

Just dont feed my dogs they will take your fingers off!!!

Great idea! Depending on what else I have planned for the day I may or may not be able to do a BBQ. Time constraints may get me as I'll be about an hour away to begin with. I can let you know as time gets closer. Nothing like some high quality, whole food, protein after an intense training session. If I can make it and the BBQ is a go I'll pitch in some money for the cost of food.

Just to get a number to the gym for logistic purposes

Myself, Big Pete, Waugie, Extreme, and Joe Mamma thus far.....

we also got some soon to be fourn members going to attend...If you were at the cage last year the dude who was rep'n out 20 with 135 on barbell curls on the last day...he will be attending too....and we are trying to get Marc (who won his division (over 50 middle weight) at the the NPC Masters Vinny competed in this past july)...

So it looks like we got a solid crew here if anyone else want to pop in give me a heads up

I am going to be hitting back probubly any training partners?

Brutus_515
11-02-07, 2:16 pm
I am pretty laid backed but with all things in life there are rules or guidelines for this session


1. - You must wear your OWN Animal gear to the event. Those who have plenty to share should do so if you dont mind. (I have a few shirts to lend out to you or your buddies let me know if I need to get more)

2. - Carry yourself with pride, be a gentlemen. Repersent yourself, your family and the "A" to the fullest.

3. - As a guest in a new gym, be sure to leave it BETTER than you found it. Clean off that bar, rack that dumbell, show others in the gym how an Animal does it. (this is my place of employment and its like my church I dont piss on your toilet seat dont jack my gym up)

4. - Leave it all in the gym. Make every rep, every set, count. (why waste our time)

5. - Do your best to enlighten others on everything Animal. Invite them to the FORVM, exchange info so that they can join us at the next Gathering. This is a movement and movements need brave souls, not afraid to give it all...

Do these simple things and you will be rewarded (more info to follow). But do not just do it for free swag, do it because it is the right thing, fuck that, the ONLY thing to do...

Animal Banner and magic box of goddies to be provided before the Gathering. All attending members are to sign the banner so it can be returened to Corporate..

All attending gathering MUST take a group photo to be proudly displayed on the FORVM...

Extreme

I'm in bro. Back may not be my absolute strong point, but I'll still give it everything I got. I need to attack my weak points in order to make them my strong points. This will be the perfect opportunity to do so.

Steel City - I have high expectations from this one. I look forward to seeing the pics.

joe-yamma
11-15-07, 9:35 pm
maybe back in honor of the newest Animal training vid?
i'd say it has to be chest (everybody likes that), back (the real deal), or we could be totally sick and go with wheels (might have a problem when none of us can walk out of the gym though, haha).
after we pick a bodypart maybe select one of the routines from either the AOM or possibly the Titan Training so that we all know what's up?
from what Intensity said, our rep as a hard-working-blue-color town, plus working out at a gym in an old steel mill town, i think we need to do this right and represent.

Brutus_515
11-16-07, 9:37 am
Yeah man I am pretty excited the gym is actually closed that day so no need to pay the owner may stop by to see everyone.

If we do legs I vote for Wheels of Steel from G that is pretty sick I do it once every six weeks before switching up my split I feel it for about 2 weeks
http://animalpak.com/html/article_details.cfm?section=training&ID=146

But we can always split up the people to do what we want I know that alot of us are bringin the "Ole Ladies" with us so the can take pics if they dont want to participate.

For the group pic we can go outside and have to old closed down steel mill in the back ground...It is dreary and nasty looking (perfect fit)...

Extreme
11-16-07, 10:19 am
I'm getting pumped for this one! The time is drawing near. To me, the workout chosen isn't what counts, it's the intensity at which you attack it. I'll be 6 full weeks into a cutting phase, so my strength may be lacking, but I'll sure as hell give it everything I've got. Just reading posts, written by other's in the forvm, fuels my fire for this upcoming gathering. Can't wait to meet up with all of you.

by the way how is the test stack coming along?

Test/Stak 2 stack was AWESOME!!! Gained a good bit of strength and stamina. I was using Routine #4 in the AOM, killer routine! Didn't gain any weight though, which was a disappointment. I actaully lost a few pounds a week into it, then gained back what I had lost by the end. It was a little confusing to say the least. I'm sitting at 268 lbs right now and am starting the keto diet, starting next week.

Didnt mean to sound like a lunatic in the above post, just getting excited to meet up with other's of a like mind, as you put it. There are few people like that where I train down here.

The pic's you saw weren't lying bro, I'm 6'4", my wife is 5'9", I just make her look shorter b/c of my height. But to be honest I dont even know what pic's you saw, LoL. I've never seen what my wife has put up on that site. In fact I've never been on that site period, might have to check it out one of these days. She did tell me that you had viewed her page though.

Yeah man it will be pretty sick for some reason it is always dreary down on that street...the town is ran down and the empty mills just give it that nasty feeling...It is going to be good time....I also think that the gym has some of the first machines ever made instead of pulleys the stuff is operated by chains (like bicycle chains) ...with the super old and rusty york dumbells...but I consider it home still...it was the first gym I ever went too and I always come back to it..now I work there

Yeah, I know my wife, Kirsten, and maybe a few other women will be in attendance. Don't know if they'll lift, that will be up to them. I know that Kirsten has recently taken an interest in Figure competition, so this just might be the motivation she needs to get started. I think she just needs some positive encouragement.

Damn Bro,

You got things rockin and rollin on the Akron ABC and I'm lovin the energy your bringing over to the Steel City ABC. You don't know how much I want to be at that Akron ABC gathering, but I won't be coming into the Pittsburgh area until the 21st of December. I can't wait for the Steel City gathering though, I'm excited to see my wife getting excited about meeting up with B.A.M's GIRL. She's talked about figure and fitness comps for a while now and after she read that a figure champ was going to be there she got really excited. It's awesome to see how Animals from all walks of life are able to meet up and do something of this magnitude.

The Gym is going to stay the same but there will be a charge of $5 a person (training) if your wife or girlfriend is attending just to watch they dont need to pay...The owner is very happy with the turn out and would love to see more people check out his place....

Just for the record and to stop any further confusion-

1. We are getting together to lift...people may come to watch since alot of people are visiting home for the holidays so its not a "family gathering" it is a training session. everyone is invited and everyone is treated like an equal.

2. If you wish to invite someone its on you make sure they arent assholes.

3. If you want to attend a lower key (less people) and training session... shoot me a PM we can set up a smaller session as well.

4.any further questions post them up here my PM box is taking a beating hahah

What myself and my girl both are looking for is to attend a Animal Barbell Club training session Held by Steel City with members who COME to train. I really am not interested in working out while a crowd looks on. We are looking to come to this session for a all member training session. If a session with others watching is in the plans. We will continue to support the session, but are more interested sticking to the ABC progam of training with members. I am not at a session to have fun. The ABC sessions are training sessions not social gatherings. Please understand where we both are coming from.

one of the coolest things about the ABC session that broken_515 has arranged is that the gym is closed to the public that day and open only for us.

From the above thread by broken_515 -

"1. We are getting together to lift...people may come to watch since alot of people are visiting home for the holidays so its not a "family gathering" it is a training session. everyone is invited and everyone is treated like an equal."

Like B.A.M. said, we are coming to train. Keepin it real - 2 things:

What's with an audience? Is there a point with those coming to just watch and why go to the gym and this session you're not going to touch a weight?

I understand that it's the holidays and people are in town but we have a purpose when we walk into those doors......if people want to be a part of it but not train, think about setting up something else afterwards - grab a bite to eat and hang out and have them hook up with you there.

Sorry guys if the above comes off wrong but I'm just not getting it and it's because I never walk into a gym to just hang out and watch, I walk in there to get to get it on and walk out spent.

It was an idea tossed around to keep it small so everyone could get a little more farmilar with each other.....but I have sent out pms inviting anyone interested to come by when ever they get a chance to get more of a "Unity" feel for this.....and alot of the people that would be interested that are members to the gym are coming to the ABC session

I have some questions...

Between my girl and myself 10 people can come, is this gym open and can it hold a possible showing of 20+ ?

I have been asked to make event posters and promote heavy.

Is this something this Chapter can handle?

HOUSE can pull mad people with his name alone. I don't really feel comfortable calling my sources to show and promote if the gym is a small rec center type and can not hold the possible LARGE group. That was the reason I thought I was getting involved for. I felt it would be a great show of respect to HOUSE for the sacrifice of his time and family to come to Akron to promote heavy and get him publicity here as well.

I am very well connected in the Ohio underground Bodybuilding community. Pittsburgh is my girls playground and she is well connected as well. Pittsburgh is a two hour drive from Cleveland and people will come to see HOUSE.

I think things should be planned for a gym to be open and hardcore enough to have serious Bodybuilders and like minds to want to come. There is still time to promote. If this is something that the Chapter does not want. I will come and show my full support for the Chapter and ABC in general. Be none the less I will need to know.

THANKS,

"Where is the gym you are talking about I know the dude who won the 89 Mr. Pittsburhg move umm i think ultimate fitness in center twp moved to the BV mall and lost alot of good members......Gary Udit's (edge fitness) gym is in scott twp. as well alot of local NPC competitors train there and Gary is always around to shoot the shit

I Know 3 rivers ice cream .....it aint no brusters but it isnt too bad haha"

Hey, to this post, I just wanted to say a few things. Ultimate Fitness was one hell of a great gym, exactly what I wanted, as I lifted there often. Guy (the owner) moved up to the Beaver Valley mall and ran his business there until a lot of personal and medical problems took hold and he had to close up shop. He is now awaiting a kidney transplant (3rd one in 9 years) and needs all of our prayers. So let's pray for the health and recovery of an iron brother.

Also, when is this event going to take place? If it's in december/january, count me in. I live in the area, although I go to PSU out in the center of the state. I'll be home for three weeks though, so let me know. I love hard lifting sessions. Who's up for it?

just like broken_515 said, it's all good. we're all going to be there to train hard and have a good time doing it... maybe some competitive juices to do our best and step the intensity up a notch or two. but helping each-other out too, no egos.

Hey B.A.M.s Girl! i just jumped on the steel city thread. kinda lost, are you guys planning on having one down your way soon? living on the Ohio/Pa line, we are right in the middle of everything. i'd love to come up to your gym and check shit out. i've looked at the same beat up old equip at my gym for 10 years, always up for new ideas. hey, another thing. you lifting sat? tryin to catch up on the threads and wasnt sure if you're talking about akron or pitt session. help me out here. i wasnt planning on doing any lifting sat, just hanging. Barbender does his own thing warming up but when he puts his bench shirt on and starts playin in the 550-700 numbers, im right on him. im his eyes to make sure he is even and the bar touches his shirt. i dont miss a move, i track his progress everyday. its been nightmare for him coming back after the arm breakin, but he is bigger and stronger that before it broke. cant wait to see the other Animals there yellin and tearin shit up! gimme some scoop, 2 more days!!!! call me later if you get a chance. we get home from gym after 8:00 or so.

Hopefully Barbender and I can make it up to your session on the 29th. BAM'S GIRL & I are trying to get some of the other "wives" of you big ass boys to bond together. most of us girls stand alone, at least in my area of the world. we have gym friends that live close to us but no "wives" of the power world close by. not many women understand the importance of supporting you guys and what it takes to help you achieve your goals. check out the post i wrote in the Akron/Canton thread. if any of your girls want to band together, get em signed up and lets get togther. you boys have a brotherhood, no reason we cant have the sisterhood to back yins. we are all family. bottom line, you guys are a different breed, you will beat your goals with or without us. we have to stick together and keep you guys solid! my motto: Behind every strong Champion is one hell of woman. . . or no one!

Naw man I am rocking the good ole Black animal one...It isnt a fasion show haha aslong as it is an Animal shirt thats all that should matter....

Also if you dont have one I have a few I can lend out.....and if you are nasty and dont shower..you might get to score a free one because i wouldnt want it back..LOL....
