Yeah, I could actually use one too. Where you thinking of having it? Hitting the gym with Domichi Friday's has been a definite help for me too, actually I need to see about meeting up with him this weekend too going to be local. Let's do this. If people want to come to Cbus I am sure we can get something together at one of the Metro's, if we want to eat out after that'd be cool too. Metro downtown is always nice with BD's within walking distance ;) Although Blondie, we could travel down your way too, get a good session in Cville!

Trebin mentioned to me that there is a Friends and Family Day down at Beyond Limits Training this Saturday 7/6. Maybe we can all can crash that?

I think I could make the 27th. At least a car full if us are looking to travel to Madtown for the ABC August 3rd in Madison. That would make for a bunch of travel but well worth it!

Bro, are you wearing pants right now? I should have texted ya, I just hit shoulders at lunch and cardio.

Anyways, let me know if you hear anymore info, I'd be in for that.

Lol, no pants. I had a conference call at 11am so I most likely would've missed you. I'll let you know what I hear from Trebin.

That would be great Dixie! Our plan at the moment is to drive up on Friday night, sleep in a little, head to the ABC (1p.m.), get a quick bite and be back home Satur day night. Definitely should be there the 27th too. My vote is Worthington Metro or CBC or BLT! They're all awesome!

Cbus always does it up no doubt about that. I'm not going to lie I've been wanting to try that Seafood Buffet for years, it's the only one I've seen except in like SC/NC/FL, so wanted to see how it was. My wife doesn't even eat seafood so I can't exactly take her there either lol.

I have seen some mixed reviews on the place but have never been to this particular one. I think it is pretty much a Chinese buffet with a little more seafood than a normal Chinese buffet would have. But BD's does sound awesome.

It's actually Aug 14, BUT everyone has pretty much said that she is very low and that things look to be happening soon. Add to that I was 4.5 weeks early and we are already to that point and I think there's a good chance of an early little one. Also add to that neither of us are tiny people and I think that the baby will be pretty good sized even if born now. Obviously we would prefer a "full term" but one of her coworkers just had twins and the Dr had the due date way wrong, like almost a month, both were 6.5lbs, no joke.

Ohhhh wow... A month off... I couldn't imagine... I'm hoping to be at the ABC, but it depends on when Lena goes...lol. Her due date has been changed, but only by 3 days...lol. Hope I get to se ya there...

Little Boy, Luke (Daniel or David) Mambourg. At least that's the plan :) We're pretty stoked, go tomorrow for our last checkup before we start weekly Dr. apts. So anytime now. If we can make it to 31st he'll be 38 weeks so "full term", so that's our hopes.

Too early to know what I'll be hitting, but I stopped in at lunch yesterday to workout and they already have a little dry erase board with all the ABC info on it.

Too early to know what I'll be hitting, but I stopped in at lunch yesterday to workout and they already have a little dry erase board with all the ABC info on it. That's pretty sick, promoting us 2 weeks out! Dixie is always on the ball with this and the guy said he had spoken to her earlier in the week, so thanks a ton Dixie!

That's so cool! I need to take notes from her. Most of the ABCs I have organized sort of felt like train wrecks LOL.

What's the off chance of some strongman equipment being a available this weekend

This Metro location doesn't have much strongman equipment other than a few large tires outside. If you want to do some strongman work, you'll have to improvise with what they have available in the powerlifting room.

Good time with all, great to see some old faces(BigC), and really catch up with everyone. Got a great leg day in with Blondie, and I can already tell tomorrow is going to be tough sitting in church. Sorry I missed PWO meal, but needed to get home for family stuff. Had enough time after our get together with the family that I could grill a huge T bone I picked up this morning along with some mashed taters. Life is good.

Hope everyone had a safe drive and can't wait to do it again. Some serious weight was moved today, there is no question about that. It was another moment to get back to reality and keep grounded, I thank Animal and Universal for that.

New Chicago-Area ABC scheduled!

When: Saturday, September 7th, 12pm
Where: Atlas Gym 2, Kenosha, WI http://www.atlasgym2.com/
Why: Fundraising drive for the LETR Plane Pull benefiting Special Olympics, sponsored by Phil Darin/Chicago ABC Chapter http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/chrishickman/PlanePull2013/team
Cost: TBD

Atlas Gym 2 is an awesome gym situated halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee, about 5 miles east of I-94 which includes such implements as: Atlas stones, tires, kettlebells, deadlift platform, multiple power cages, competition bench, prowler, farmer's walk implements, bands, chains, deadlift platform...etc. etc. Bring your own chalk. They also have a smoothie bar.

Official post-gym eats will be at Captain Mike's Beer & Burger (& Whiskey) Bar, near the lake shore. Featuring a couple dozen craft taps (including an O'So tap exclusive to the Mike's locations, O'So being from Kenosha), the best burgers I've ever had outside of Kuma's in Chicago, over 100 whiskeys, mac & cheese of the week, and I've also seen a bloody mary that includes a mozzarella cheese stick (welcome to Wisconsin). Beer fans should also make plans to stop at Woodman's Grocery to stock up on New Glarus, only available in WI, for the cheapest prices available (you will overpay at Cheese Castle/Brat Stop/gas stations/etc.)

Also, if anyone's interested, I'm going to plan on breakfast at Frank's Diner in Kenosha (http://www.franksdinerkenosha.com/), a famous breakfast restaurant featured on the Food Network known for its garbage plates (a shit ton of meat, eggs, and potatoes basically) and the fact that it is built out of an actual boxcar, and after the ABC I plan on heading to Chicago to see Local H at the Metro for their last show with their current drummer.

Please post here if you plan to attend. I'm going to iron out the details with Atlas tonight.

Awesome awesome!!! I know it is a stretch for two weekends in a row, but my folks at the Shop more than likely aren't going to the one in the 23rd... They shouldn't miss out..lol

And, yes you missed last year, but your Superstorm Sandy donation went above and beyond and was also well appreciated!! You rock!!

The national ABC is a blast and it's also packed haha. We had a very cool gathering at Beyond Limits Training the Friday night of the Arnold too. That's where we were with Higa and the gang before we took over Rodizio. A lot of great memories for sure.

Metro in Worthington has a PL room but not any real strongman equipment other than some tires outside. Trebin trains down at Beyond Limits Training downtown and they have some nice strongman stuff like logs, stones, and farmers handles, you should hit him up.

I am training for weight loss and powerlifting. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but that's my plan

That sounds great. I'm focusing on powerlifting. I'm currently training for a meet I've got on April 12th. I've been focusing on gaining mass for the past few months because it was hard for me to cut down to 165 and being in the 181 class just feels more natural. However, I feel like my strength now needs to be improved for all the weight I've put on.
