[deanna7272]

[fgchk10]

There is no whispering - only yelling at me to pull more fucking reps or up my weight.

The relationship is left outside of the door.......we are "in the zone" when we walk in.

BTW - Barbenders Babe - you owe me a workout or two......we will meet up soon! I have something in store for you.......

[Barbenders Babe]

Bring it on girlfriend! i want all the inside tips i can get my hands on. we live close enuf to each other to hook up soon. i wanna pick your brain. get with the sisters tomw and rock that place!

[BAD ASS MARTIN]

All jokes aside...

When you walk through the doors its go time...

Bring the hardcore Ohio Animal style to the table and push your body to it limit. Take plenty of pictures to let the forum know the way we rock it out at our sessions. We all worked together with a common goal to make this session BIG. There is no doubt in my mind everyone will bring it and bring it hard.

Vinny Galanti's seminar is something we all look forward too. I would expect nothing less than a MAD show of RESPECT for his commitment and class.

The dedication from many of the people attending this session is nothing short of amazing, making 2-5 hour drives to support ABC is what it's all about. Everyone be careful and hit me or B.A.M.'s GIRL up if you need anything.

See you all tomorrow!!!

[Diesel454]

Yo Fellow Animals,

We started OSU Powerlifting about a year ago and things have been going really well. We currently have 12 members. Our coaches include former Westside lifters with multiple world records and world titles. A few of our lifters also lift at Westside so we have an in there. If anyone is interested, I will be at World's today for the event or message me for more info.

O yeah, I will be the one with the OSU powerlifting shirt on so you will know who I am.

Peace.

[LHS Monster]

wow just got back from the columbus abc session hit some shoulders and it was a great time cant wait for the next session

[Diesel454]

Columbus ABC was sick. Training legs with Vinny was definitly intense. I fell out of the leg extension after Vinny told me 5 more when I had already failed.

Walking to the restaurant after legs sucked as well, but that's the sign of a good leg day!

[Madcat]

Good good stuff. Vinny was dope, the seminar was amazing and everyone was really into getting help with the knowledge that he holds.

I learned a ton and didnt even ask a question. However at dinner Vinny gave us a few more pointers and was very helpful with talking about our strategies and living in a real world but still trying to be the best we can.

BAM rocked out, sorry to hear about the last week man, Cleveland is ruff, what can I say.

Everyone was really friendly and sweet.

I hope everyone who left early and didnt eat drove safe and made it home. Dinner was awesome and we owned that place, plus if you checked your receipt they gave us a 3 buck discount, charged us for 1 trip, I know I are more then that...

Good stuff, thanks to all that met us in our hometown.

Stay strong.

Lol, sounds about right!

[escholar05]

Great session fellas, well worth the 2 hr trip. It was great to meet everyone and put faces to screen names. Had a great workout, and learned alot from vinny too...Thanks to everyone that came and lets get those pictures up asap, haha.

[deanna7272]

Great session tonight!!! AHHHH..... I can't wait for the next.... It's great to get everyone together to do what we love!!!!!! The Arnold is going to be out of this world with all the Animals in the house!!!

Info session with Vinny... AWESOME... Thanks so much, Big Guy... I love it when you can sit and talk one on one with those that we admire in the industry... It was great hearing about your start, present, and future in the industry...

Hope everyone had a great time at dinner... IF I KNEW that I could have found my way HOME, I would have joined ya!!! I just got in a bit ago and I am BEAT!!!!

BAM and BAM's Girl... Thanks SO much for turning me onto these events and giving me the opportunity to meet such GREAT people... You guys Rock!!!

By the way... BAM... What's up with the GRANDMA comments????? URGH...

[Flash419]

Another great ABC session!

Thanks to Vinny for coming out on his own dime. Lots of info shared, awesome training, and some cool conversation at dinner. Great guy.

Another B.A.M. inspired session.... like he says... BAM goes BIG! Great job again bro..

Great to see everyone. Some of you for the third or fourth time...other for the first time. Looking forward to the next session already. Everyone was hitting it hard, and Elisa worked the woman hard. These girls can work it with just as much intensity as the guys, and should be welcomed to any session with open arms.. ;-) LOL (Just kidding ladies..)

Thanks to the Columbus guys for being great hosts. The workouts and seminar flowed well, and dinner was close and great food.

AWESOME TIME!

..... So... who's got pictures?

[LegendKillerJosh]

Come on guys get the pics up! I'm so disappointed I missed it.

[Big C]

Can't wait to see the pics... Great gym you guys trained at--that is where we'll hold it down every Arnold weekend. Vinny G made the pilgrimage out of nothing but love for our sport and for all of the Animal brethren. Yet another session driving home the fact that BAM most definitely goes big. Peace, G

[mikeye3313]

That session was awesome!

Vinny was cool as hell...trained legs with him, and I barely made it over to Mongolion. Dude murdered my legs! The seminar was awesome too!

It was also great to meet everyone...all you guys and girls are great!

BAM's Girl - I told you the steelers would lose! haha

Mongolion was the shit, gotta love that damn place.

Thanks to everyone for showin up! I better see you all at the session during the Arnold weekend!

[Fury317]

So the event turned out pretty damn well. Had about 25 Animals training their asses off. I was lucky enough to hit wheels with Vinny, along with Mikeye3313 and Diesel454. Let me tell you it was intense. I had quite a time trying to get out of bed this morning. I was really glad to see those who traveled just to make this event. We had guys from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Kentucky etc, so I want to thank you for making the trip. Big props to Vinny for putting on a hell of a seminar, adn putting my ass through a great workout. Coming out on his own dime, man, thats awesome, and I have the utmost respect for him. BAM, glad to put this together with you, you rock dude. But make sure you bring some change for the meter next time LOL.

[Madcat]

Aww shit, Bam get a ticket ??? Actually did anyone?


Yea man Vinny coming out on his own cash just shows how everyone really will go out of there way to support others on the boards. I mean I know traveling ain't cheap and just to come for a weekend to show support and lead us with your knowledge was amazing. Actually Ive never been part of anything like that before.

I only had like 10pics, was too focused on getting shit done yesterday, so sorry, I ll get um up now that I wokeup to my shoulders screaming at me.

Fury and BAM good stuff organizing by the way, not sure if I put that in my last post.

Great session!

Thanks to Vinny G for coming out and doing what he does best. I had the pleasure if picking his brain for lunch before the session. Good time Vinny!

Fury... Your the man bro! Your a great leader and host to us all in your town. Food was the bomb even though I scared the waiter lol.

It was great to see all the new and old members we are starting to put together a strong Animal Family.

Lunch for two Animals $23 dollars

Parking meter ticket $40 dollars

Lunch with Vinny Galanti... PRICELESS

[escholar05]

Well i woke up this morning with my chest at a new level of sore, so I ate breakfast, went to the gym and hit back...I needed that ABC meeting as a wake up call, because I now know a new level of intensity, and that carried over to my workout today, and will in my future workouts. I just wanna thank everyone for making the session so big and so intense. Can't wait for the next one.

[Madcat]

Shoulders are still killin me. Wanted to wash my truck today, but I def. dont see that happening with the pain Im in lol. A good pain of course.

Cant wait for the next one. And especially for the Arnold.

Just ordered some new supps. should have um mid week along with some more Animal Gear. Trying Torrent that everyone seems to love and Mstak along with Pump and multi/glucosamine.

Good stuff.

[Vinny]

Yeah I got a parking ticket.....WORTH IT LOL!!!

Damn thats an early flight. You were probably up and at it at 5 as usual lol

[Reacher34]

Great pics guys. Again, I'm jealous. Can't wait to see you guys face to face at the Arnold.

My favorite pic is the one where Vinny is smiling and waving while he's torturing cats on the leg extension.

[Fury317]

The leg extensions were probably my favorite part. Heres how part of it went down...

Vinny (Already at about 10 reps): Gimme a number!
Me: 22!

*Vinny finishes and gets off, Im up...

Me (at about 10 also): Gimme a number!
Vinny (with a grin): 30!!

*I failed at 16 haha

Really an awesome workout though, my quads are still fried.

my niece can do 2 more reps..........

[Fury317]

my niece can do 2 more reps..........

HAHAHA that was awesome too....

[Fury317]

Some things that just came to mind...

1. It was a Columbus ABC, but about half of the people there were from out of town. Big props to Vinny, BAM, BAMs GIRL, BigDick, Big Chris, Roo, Ajack, deanna, and everyone else from out of town for making the trip. It just wouldnt have been the same without the big number we put up. Thanks everyone.

2. I know we all had a fucking sweet time, BUT I would appreciate it if all of you would toss new ideas out there so we can change things that need to be changed or add things that need to be added to make the Columbus chapter one of the best. So if you have any suggestions or something you think should be changed (gym location, parking, food, workout situation etc) please throw it out there so when we plan another, its perfect. Thanks guys....and gals!!!

[Diesel454]

my niece can do 2 more reps..........

Haha, that was one hell of a set. I could barely walk this morning, probably because I fell out of the leg press after Vinny told me to keep going.

Then at the start of the seminar Vinny looked at me and said I didn't accomplish my goal of throwing up so he told me to go squat 315 till failure. I grabbed my belt and was about to go but he said he was kidding.

Thanks to everyone for making my first ABC experience awesome. And Vinny thanks again for making the trip to columbus. I can't wait for the Arnold!

[Big C]

Since I was hitting chest I only got to catch a glimpse of the leg workout...

Looked brutal, so can someone who smashed legs post the workout you guys did (exercises, sets, etc)? Thanks, and since Im doing legs on Monday I wanted a new workout.

[fgchk10]

For those of you guys who had cameras and haven't posted pictures - we are going to have a little tutorial on how to get that done. For real guys, come on!!

Thanks to everyone who made it to the session. There were people who drove for hours to get there and support their fellow Animals - that is really what it is all about. Fury and BAM, you guys really worked together to make this happen.......when people work together and help one another out, offer ideas and suggestions - look at what happens. Really...take a look at that group photo - that is teamwork......teamwork = success.

Everyone had their part in making this session a success......we all believe in ourselves and one another - for me, there is no better environment to be in! No matter which way you turned, you saw a group of Animals helping one another out.

On multiple occassions after the session, BAM and I reflected back on it and during every conversation we both agreed that this was one hell of a crew of people. We got our business done in the gym and went to dinner holding conversations like we have known one another for years......family guys, that what you all are to us and we are very fortunate to have that.

For the girls that made the trip out, you all hung in there and went up at least 10 pounds heavier than what you thought you could do. I was proud of you all.

Vinny - thanks for making the trip out and sharing your knowledge and own personal experiences with everyone there.

Roo - just wanted to say thank you for making a mess of the rice! I guess I was the lucky one to take most of it home with me on my clothes!

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Arnold!!

You are absolutely right, BAM's Girl... When those that have same interests, passions, and goals get together, it's hard not to be friends. No one understands "our" world. Those there at the gym that are either "cardio junkies" or the occasional "Aunt Ethel" that showed up probably thought that we were an inconvenience to them. Yes, we were there, we got our shit done, and we left...

In the world that we live in, we are the "freaks" that NO ONE understands.. except... US... Why not be in GREAT company???

Thanks for kicking my ass yesterday... I would have never thought I could get 30's over my head.... Seriously...

[Fury317]

Since I was hitting chest I only got to catch a glimpse of the leg workout...

Looked brutal, so can someone who smashed legs post the workout you guys did (exercises, sets, etc)? Thanks, and since Im doing legs on Monday I wanted a new workout.

No problem bro...heres what we did

lying leg curls- 4 sets
leg press- 4 sets
front squat machine- 4 sets
walking lunges- 3 or 4 sets (cant remember)
extensions- 4 sets
calves- 3 sets

The thing is, I usually do more exercises and ultimately more sets, but the intensity level was crazy and the rest between sets was minimal, thats why my legs are really sore. Probably could have hit SLDL, but the quads were definitely burning....and actually still are.

[Fury317]

BAMs GIRL and deanna are absolutely right. I honest to God felt like I was hanging with some of my closest buddies. And especially BAM and BAMs GIRL, maybe because weve been planning this for so long and talking so much on here, but I felt like I have known you for years. Even after the lift when you called to hangout, just felt comfortable talking to both of you. Everyone was so cool- Id never spoken to Roo before but sat across the table from him and BAM and we were laughing the whole time. It was just a damn good time, with a hell of a group. Its all going to happen again in about 50 days...

[Madcat]

Ya, being one of the smaller guys there, its always a little intimidating when I walk in to see all the bigger guys tossing around weight that I can only dream of, like nothing. But the thing is, no one cares. Its not like anyone is there to prove they are better then anyone else, or that so and so did this, etc. Everyone is there for the love of the game and thats what makes me keep going after it.

At the gym, I hadnt met either of the two guys I worked out with, and both were quite a bit stronger then I was, but yet they helped me take weights off, put them back on, spot, and push me through sets.

It was the best shoulder workout Id ever had and it was awesome having everyone there supporting each other.

At dinner, everyone was so personable, and just chill, kinda crazy story... One member who came from Tcounty(sorry I forget your first name, but the last is Perkowski), has a brother at the college I went to and I knew him for a yr, then I had hungout with his uncle and nephew a few times too. Funny the things we have in common.

Anyways, I cant wait to keep trainin and hopefully reach some more of my goals, and I hope the same for everyone else.

Stay strong.

[Big C]

LOL yeah that was me bro. I sat by you at dinner. I agree with everyone, this was like family to me. 95 percent of the guys where I lift reguarly don't have half the heart of all the Animals that attended yesterday. That is why these sessions mean so much to me, it carries over when I go home to my other workouts....I push harder and have a stronger mindset.

Can't wait to smash with everyone again very soon. Loved Worlds Gym and the neat restaraunt afterwards, I probably pounded like 200 grams of protein with all that meat.

[Vinny]

Haha, that was one hell of a set. I could barely walk this morning, probably because I fell out of the leg press after Vinny told me to keep going.

Then at the start of the seminar Vinny looked at me and said I didn't accomplish my goal of throwing up so he told me to go squat 315 till failure. I grabbed my belt and was about to go but he said he was kidding.

Thanks to everyone for making my first ABC experience awesome. And Vinny thanks again for making the trip to columbus. I can't wait for the Arnold!

great to meet you....and you train hard.

see you next month at the arnold

[BAD ASS MARTIN]

Most defiantly I feel a strong family vibe off our crew. I am honored to have you all in my life. Big C is so right about post sessions carrying into the rest of the week. When I hear and see the words about how great our sessions are nothing stops me from going bigger and better for the next one. We have a great year ahead of us with alot of future sessions and some of BAM's great ideas.

The Arnold is just about 8 weeks away. I will be a part of the Cage crew for Animal Barbell Club at this coming Arnold Classic. As the Midwest leader I can use the strong support from all the Ohio Crew to make Animal Barbell Club the talk of the Expo!

See you all there!

B.A.M.

[Madcat]

Big Chris, ya man, that was totally nuts. Good meeting ya and glad you all made it home safely.

Cant wait for the Arnold. Reminder I got a house with room to crash if anyone needs to save some cash that way. I got 1 members from London, England staying and 1 from Indy. But I got room for a few more.

Get at me.

Going to cover that Expo hall in Yellow Animal shirts top to bottom. I'd say the ABC will be the talk of bodybuilding!

[LHS Monster]

Yeah I got a parking ticket.....WORTH IT LOL!!!

holy shit you too damn i was pissed but was def. worth it as well lemme guess u park in the lot right next to the gym?

[mikeye3313]

No problem bro...heres what we did

lying leg curls- 4 sets

You hit it right on the head bro...

Vinny was all about gettin 12-15 reps too, sometimes more, which really tore my legs up!

I also wanted to just thank all of you one more time. A session like that was just what I needed to get my ass moving for 2008.

[Lewy23]

Looked like a killer session, I fuckin wish I coulda been there. I am definitely sorry I missed it! Saw the pics, looks like everyone tore it up and I bet alot of you are feeling it today lol!! Great job!! Hope to see all of you at the Arnold or before!

Lewy

[deanna7272]

Thanks to all you guys for accepting the ladies with open arms, and there were some big ass arms there last night...lol There are some of us that CAN stand our ground and do more than cardio... Now, I do have to do 2 hours of cardio a day, but that's AFTER my ass is training for an hour... I spend my time there, I might as well do it right.... You guys give me the drive to make my goals a reality and know that I have "family" backing me....

I hope to see everyone at the Arnold... Also, you guys are going to have to keep me posted on the next go round...

[RooRooTJ]

Some things that just came to mind...

1. It was a Columbus ABC, but about half of the people there were from out of town. Big props to Vinny, BAM, BAMs GIRL, BigDick, Big Chris, Roo, Ajack, deanna, and everyone else from out of town for making the trip. It just wouldnt have been the same without the big number we put up. Thanks everyone.

2. I know we all had a fucking sweet time, BUT I would appreciate it if all of you would toss new ideas out there so we can change things that need to be changed or add things that need to be added to make the Columbus chapter one of the best. So if you have any suggestions or something you think should be changed (gym location, parking, food, workout situation etc) please throw it out there so when we plan another, its perfect. Thanks guys....and gals!!!

Fury you did an awesome job. I dont think we would change really anything. It was hardcore and that is what we are. We will get something together between the Akron and Cleveland Chapter real soon. I am looking to go big, like BAM big. haha

[McFly]

man, this session looked awesome....really setting the bar for other sessions. us Delaware boys are going to have to step our game up!

[fgchk10]

Dee, next time I'm cracking the whip if you wander away again!! You'll be on a short leash!

Never thought you would pop 30's up over your head girl? The thing is, you did it and didn't give up until you had it.....never doubt yourself girl, you have it in you!

[deanna7272]

Why do you think I bought the "I'm not here to talk...." shirt???? It HAS to be my new MANTRA... I wanted to meet everyone and you all are just lucky I DIDN'T come to dinner... I have a bit of a talking problem when I am in good company...

I've never had 30's up... I was afraid that you'd kick my ass if I didn't... You inspired me to be more than I am and to be more of what I WANT to be... Thanks...

By the way, I will get back to that email here soon....lol

[slats06]

Lived in Columbus, past 6-7 years. I just heard about this ABC. Sounds pretty slick. 27 years old have 5 shows under my belt. Placed top 5 in all of them. Live in Hilliard out west a ways. Taking a break right now, we have our first child on the way, so I will be lifting in my basement for a couple months. Getting together for this club once and a while sound good

Let me know

Slats

[DocMay5506]

any of you do work at the jesse owens south @ OSU...

[tift84]

a buddy of mine, on the Ohio State Powerlifting team as I am as well, had an away message up the other day about a meeting at the animal barbell club. i have never heard of it before, but after i found out what it was i was truly interested.

if anyone could send me any information on the meetings and how to become a member i would appreciate it.

[Barbenders Babe]

hey fellow sisters! damn, i wish we could have made the c-bus session. Barbender and I hit the Akron session Animal style and enjoyed every moment of it. it was great to be there for my man but would have loved to have trained as well. i hear i missed a hell of a shoulder workout with the champ and you sisters! Hate when i miss a good thing! i hope to meet all you guys at another session or at the Arnold. we have to stick together to support our big ass boys and along with ourselves. we are the few who understand this lifestyle and love it. glad to hear other sisters can train among ourselves rather than being up the asses of our big ass boys! cant wait to meet everyone at the Arnold. the count down is on, weeks are getting shorter.

[slats06]

Just heard about this club, and haven't read much on it. Would like to be a part of it. Is there a sign up or membership or anything like that? Want to join and lift with some columbus animals

Thanks

[Fury317]

Guys, the big man himself BAM is thinking about having a session in a couple weeks. Who here would be able to make the trip with me and give me an idea for a date that would work for the most amount of people. we could caravan there and have a damn good time wiht a solid lift. they supported us, its time to repay the favor. NOT TO MENTION WHO WOULDNT WANT TO TRAIN WITH THOSE DUDES AGAIN! COME ON IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

let me know either here or PM

[escholar05]

I wish I could make it...but on a good note I am having surgery on my other foot 3 weeks earlier than expected...which means I'll be walkin around the arnold WITHOUT crutches. Sorry, thats not really related as much, I'm just pretty fired up about it, cause it means a whole lot less downtime for me. See you all at the arnold.

[BamBam92]

Will do...I will do my best to bring my best friend/ bro Cory with me and introduce him to the ANIMAL community. BUT...I can make it whenever so whatever date you set I will set my KY ABC meet around that or whenever. I might just do it after the ARNOLD just to get numbers up! Anywho, just lemme know the plans or whatever

[Madcat]

Hey I might be in, just depends when it is. I got alot of weekends full for the next few months, but I can see whats open.

Need a date, the other issue is Im pretty Fing broke. So Id def. look to carpool with several, if we made it a full day trip, I can fit 4 more guys in my truck so 5 total, to akron wouldnt be bad at all. But I cant do overnighters unless we stop and drop my dog off at my parents in mansfield, which is on the way....

Let me know.

[jer]

Just bumping this to see if there is gonna be a get together during the Arnold weekend.

I know a bunch of guys work out at World Gym at 9 E. Long St. Downtown.

Anything official in the works?

[jer]

We were at the World Gym on Long St. in downtown Columbus. We will be at the same one during the Arnold.

Just saw this post.

[Fury317]

Yup. Be ready to train there. It should be nuts.

[jer]

Yup. Be ready to train there. It should be nuts.

Well, since I'm getting in to Columbus so damn early on Friday(5-6am), I plan on hitting the gym up for some cardio and mostly for a shower after my 10 hour drive.

I'm absolutely down to move some weight while in Columbus too.

[whodeybaby]

whats up fellas,ive been away from the board fro about 3 months and just checking back in, i see there is a ABC in columbus thats some cool shit i am in pataskala and work out on morse rd. just wanted to pop my head in and say whats up and ill keep checking in to see whats next.

[Madcat]

I know we had some big things planned for the Arnold, and alot of the big names were posting in here before. Whats going on now? Is there gonna be any real time for ALL of us to get together and workout, get to know some of the big names and pros??

I know Ill be training down there that weekend as well, and I know Fury, Mikey, and many others have been talking about this since Dec. when we had our first meet. Hell it might even have been Nov. I forget.

Anyways, I know we need to set soemthing up for one of the evenings or something after the Expo or early in the AM before the Expo.

Lets get this rolling, today is Feb 1st. less then 1 month away, and its a shorty. Cant wait.

[rocky36]

do any of you go to the GNC at easton, and if so do you kno if they carry the entire Animal goods. im asking because the GNC in my town only carrys Animal pak, mstak, and cuts.

[Fury317]

If you can avoid GNC, do it. Im not bashing (hence no rule breaking) but their prices are outrageous. Try ordering online from bodybuilding.com or supplementwarehouse.com

The prices are a lot better and they usually come in 2-4 days, which isnt bad.

id love to .. i just dont have a credit card

[Madcat]

Dude if you are living in Cbus, and need some help ordering stuff online vs GNC(again not bashing just trying to save you cash), I would order supps. for you anytime and you can pay me cash. Im ordering tomorrow actually.
I have my accounts setup already with all the places online because it saves soooo much cash.

Let me know ASAP cuz I need Mstak and some other stuff tomorrow.

That's good looking out right there. Online is the way to go, Big time savings.

[Pizzalamp]

id love to .. i just dont have a credit card

if theres a cvs or similar store where u live they usually sell the credit card gift cards like american express gift cards in different money amounts

get one of those to use online

[Madcat]

Fury,
Thanks man, appreciate the props. Good luck with Mids this week man. Im sure you ll do um up just like in the weight room.

And yea the CVS etc idea would def. work too.

[Fury317]

Hey Guys and Gals,
Lookin to get a session together during the weekend of the Arnold. Please post if you would be able to make it after the expo. It would most likely be around 7 or 8. Maybe earlier, Im not sure when everyone heads out. Not 100% on a gym or any other details, just seeing how many would be down for an ABC event.

Fury

[Madcat]

Of course Im down. Dont forget people, PARTY at my house after, Im gonna take a roll call for it so I know how many kegs to get and what people want for food, Pizza, Chicken, Steak, Burgers, Eggs, Tuna, lol it ll all be here trust me.

Anyways, Fury, Im 100% in, my friends that are coming in town for the party and Arnold no Im leaving them for a few hrs to go to this, so yes, sign me up.

Also man, is anyone going to the Prejudging or Finals? I wanna hit the friday night Pre I think, but I dont wanna go alone. If anyone is going PM me we could get a block of seats...??? I wanna hit it up for sure.

[escholar05]

count me in for another columbus ABC, by the arnold time I'll be almost cast/boot free.

[fgchk10]

Hey Fury....we training out at this one or what?

[Fury317]

You know it! Unless something changes I can tell you Ill be blasting my shoulders, if you can work it out so youre training em as well, Id feel privledged to throw some weight around with you.

[Fury317]

I know its early on, but Im going to keep a running head count. That way, Madcat, you can kinda use this for a guideline of party numbers as well.

Fury
Fgchk10
Madcat
escholar05
BigDick54
TitanofIron
Diesel454
Polish Prince

Post or PM me if you feel you would like to join the destruction.

[Madcat]

Ok basically, this is a weekend for all the ABCs to come together etc. BUT its really a time for us OHIO guys/gals to shine. We need to show everyone whats up and really put together another huge session.

The way I look at it is its a once in a life time chance for some people and we shouldnt lose sight of what all there is to offer. Im sure that Fury and Gdiesel will chat and some of the big names will be involved as well. They might not all showup but Im willing to bet we could get a few, simply if we offer to them or keep a good thread in here about it.

Fury, once you get word back from Gdiesel, please start a new thread and lets dump this one. Too many pages of blah blah anymore to get to what we need. A huge showing and session.

Lets get things rolling and make this the best weekend of the bodybuilding lifestyle for the year.

Also is anyone going to the prejudging or sat. night main juding? I wanna go friday but need some peeps to go with.,

Come on guys.gals lets get this going.

[Big C]

Looks good fellas....would this be on a Saturday or Friday? Don't count me in for sure yet but this is one I really don't wanna miss. - Big C

[Fury317]

Big Chris, itll most likely be Saturday evening. Hope that you can make it.

[Madcat]

Dude Big C, I missed hitting it up with you T Countiers in Akron, you know you all wanna hit the Arnold with us.

Free lodging at my place/.

[jer]

I'm driving in from Connecticut for the weekend and I am most certainly down to train while there. So, you can count me and my girl in.

As for the Prejudging bro, not sure. I'm going to the Finals, but I wasn't sure(still not) about going to the prejudging. It's still up in the air for me.

[Big C]

Sounds good Matcat. I appreciate the hospitality....I may have to take you up on that, not real familiar with C-bus area but I can try and make it work. - Big C

Dude Big C, I missed hitting it up with you T Countiers in Akron, you know you all wanna hit the Arnold with us.

[Polish Prince]

i'm getting chills just thining about this session. oh and i have atleast 2 of my dudes comin from home that i am sure owuld be down to for a training session esp w/ some pros and madcat i talked to one about the afterparty which means the other will be in so prolly add 3 to that list as well!

[Madcat]

Dude yes,
I must admit since the first meet we had in Cbus a few months ago, Ive gotten so much more serious about it. I was real serious before, not missing days etc. But now I ve put cardio into my workout, abs, and Im pretty hard on myself when it comes to eating.

Im seeing some results, nothing major yet, but Im hoping shortly it ll relaly change.

Cant wait to see everyone at the session/Arnold/Post Party at my place. lol.

[Polish Prince]

why isn't this thread off the hook? arnold classic is only a few short weeks a way!

[The Landlord]

You know The House and The Landlord are down for the ABC at the Arnold!!!

[Madcat]

Sad actually.

I was hoping for something much better too. I know I wanna hook it up and get something together, but with alot of people coming to my place to party the session couldnt be too late, or it would have to be friday.

Either way I deff. wanna see and meet the bros.

Im still stoked for the Arnold, just seems dead around here.

[Rexor91]

Isn't the only place to train in Columbus that's near the convention center is that little Gold's on one of those side streets there? I dont remember it being big enough to hold such a massive ass ABC lol

[Madcat]

Its big enough. Our last Ohio ABC there had I believe 35. I mean it aint like 100 but its a good amount.

That place is in walking distance and we get in for 5 bux if we set it up.

[Rexor91]

Oh hells yeah, we should do this.

[jer]

I thought there was a World Gym close by that G Diesel said they trained at in previous years?

[Rexor91]

I thought there was a World Gym close by that G Diesel said they trained at in previous years?

Pretty sure it was Gold's

[fgchk10]

I thought there was a World Gym close by that G Diesel said they trained at in previous years?


Yeah, jer, you're right. There is a World Gym right there on Long Street. That's where the last ABC session was held at in the beginning of January.

[Rexor91]

Yeah, jer, you're right. There is a World Gym right there on Long Street. That's where the last ABC session was held at in the beginning of January.

Shit, my bad... never knew that one was there. I just remember there being a gold's right new the convention center, but it always looked tiny... so I stand corrected! Are we gonna get together in the mornings or what!?

[Fury317]

Im going to get in touch with some people. We're looking at post Expo Saturday night. Check this thread for updates.

[jer]

I'm down for where ever, Golds or World, whatever time, as long as it doesn't interfere with the Finals on Saturday night.

[Rexor91]

Need to hit it up in the mornings before the expo!

[Madcat]

Ya know,I was just thinking that ited be nice to see everyone close to contest time. I know Fury and Deanna and Elisa and a few more are prepping, obviouslly RooRoo as well, and it would be pretty dope even if it was just the Cbus guys/gals. And naturally BamBam

Im out of town the last week of March, come back in on the 27th so Id prefer a weekend after that. I think that the weekend before(easter weekend) is Furys contest or it was originally planned that weekend.

So maybe like 2 weeks after which would be the first weekend in April??

Just a thought. April 5th, which is the first saturday of the month, which is what we had origianlly planned to hold these.

Works out nicely.

Yeah there are a few of us that are competing on April 5th. I know the Pittsburg guys are having a big one on the 29th if you guys are up for it. House will be there and possibly Vinny. I know Elisa, Deanna and most likely myself will be there. keep me informed on the next Columbus one though and let me know if I can do anything to help.

I won't be doing the April 5th show, but will be there to support Roo and others (You go Roo, I'll see ya on the 29th)... Let me know when the nexdt Cbus is (just not the 26th of April, I am REALLY doing a show THAT day...lol)

Keep us posted, we're heading to Cbus soon!!!

[escholar05]

I talked to fury and he said probably mid-april-ish, haha. So I'll let him figure all that out. But by that time I'll be able to do legs for the first time since december, so that works for me.

[fgchk10]

I know I talked to a few of the crew at the Arnold....I'm gonna be holding off from getting on stage this year. Time is an issue. My main focus is getting into grad school so as of now, competing is being put on a temporary hold - looking down the road, next summer (2009) is when I'm looking to get out there again. This will give me time to make necessary improvements and adjustments to get together one hell of a national level package. If blessed and so decided, I hope that at summer's end next year, I'll climb up into the pro status.

[Fury317]

Alright guys and gals, were looking at CBUS 3 the weekend of April 19th. The place would remain the same- World/Metro Fitness on Long St. seeing as they treated us so well the past couple times. Time and food afterwards is up in the air. Please shout out some times that would work best, and for the Columbus residents, some possible food places. We could always go back to Mongolian- fuck I know I love that food. Not to mention all you can eat chicken and steak for 12 bucks is a steal.

SO LETS HEAR SOME NOISE!!!!

[Madcat]

Sounds good here, personally I like the mid evening like we usually do. Like 3-6(start time) or what not, plus gets us to eat at a decent hour but leaves the evening open too. I was supposed to go home that weekend to get my trailer out for the summer BUT I can push it back 1 week so long as this happens.

Also who all is in the meet/show the 5th, I believe I originally said I would be in CO for my ski trip that weekend but looks like now Im going end of this month instead so Id be around. Not sure if I could make it but Id sure try.

Anyways, Id prefer the 19th like anytime in the mid evening/afternoon.

Roo, Fury, when/where are you guys for your shows. Also BamBam you still going next month to compete too?

Keep us all updated!!

[Fury317]

Madcat, my show is next Saturday, the 22nd of March in Covington KY. Im competing light heavy in the novice division. The thing Im looking most forward to is the post comp feeding frenzy..........I hate dieting lol

[escholar05]

Count me in. It will be my first ABC with no crutches, cast or anything, and hell, I might even be able to do a leg workout. Lets get the hype goin for this one early!

[deanna7272]

It's a week before my NEW show date... I'll bring TunaBreath with me this time....

[BamBam92]

[escholar05]

I understand a little about what you guys (and girl) are going through, I did keto for 2 months until ox told me to stop dieting, and I had all kinds of crazy food fantasies. I'll be sure to stick around for the meal after this ABC, just because it might be just as intense as the workout itself, lol.

[deanna7272]

I'm glad you can relate.... I can't tell you the peanut butter thoughts that are racing through my head as we speak...lol

After my competition, I can't wait to REMAIN eating clean... I don't want pizza, chinese, or anything like that REALLY... Maybe once, I've been off that since January 2007.... I want things like.... PROTEIN SHAKES, PEANUT BUTTER, OATS with BOTH of those in there, CHICKEN, etc...lol

Who in their right mind CRAVES protein shakes????

ME ME ME ME!!!!

[Madcat]

Deanna,
Im starting to feel ya on craving the shakes and chicken. Just today at breakfast I was thinking about starting a new thread about what we do without even thinking. Just go through the motions, in relation to eating.

For me its 4-6eggs/whites every morning along with 12grain toast or a wheat bagel, milk, and all my vitamins etc.

4pm protein pudding/cottage cheese/or a shake.

Within 5 mins of finishing my workout, Torrent and some H2O.

Immediately upon arriving home, I start cooking my post workout meal, a meat and some veggys of some kind.

9pm protein shake and maybe some kinda snack, cott. cheese, protein pudding etc.

And daily at lunch I get my balls busted for eating chicken, steak, fish, or pork, with whole grain rice or something similar. DAILY. No one at work understands other then the guy who htis the gym at 5am on his way to work. But he never eats with me so Im all alone when it comes to sticking up for our ways. Luckily I dont care what people say or think.

Id have to say the Mongolian BBQ has pretty much been owned by most of us on here after the last Cbus meet(not Arnold) and it ll be owned again shortly.

By the way, the weekend of the 3-5 my exspotter's bachelor party is that night so Im thinking Cleveland aint gonna work.

Sorry guys I need to make one to support, I know.

[deanna7272]

Boy, there's a lot on there and this girl isn't having it...lol

I'm ALL egg whites, greens, and fish..... ALL EGG WHITES, GREENS, and FISH....

[BamBam92]

Boy, there's a lot on there and this girl isn't having it...lol

I'm ALL egg whites, greens, and fish..... ALL EGG WHITES, GREENS, and FISH....

BamBam92

BamBam, I knew youd be on here in five minutes after I posted haha. Thats what Im talking about bro. What are you training on Saturdays as of now. We gotta get on track so were hitting the same shit....

[BamBam92]

I dont know...Im wanting to throw in a new split (as Vinny said.."What you aren't doing, is what will work). Here's my idea as of now...

Mon- Legs ("light",shaping)
Tues-Chest, Tri's (minimal)
Weds-Back, Bi's (minimal)
Thurs-Shoulders, Calves
Fri-Legs (HEAVY)

I dunno though...I also liked Ox's split from the new MD...so I might try that. My arms look good as of now, and I only need to bring out my forearms and tri's a little lower...so, thats why I am doing (minimal) arms. Legs always need to look freaky and be big, so I am going to hammer them twice a week...going to try it for this week, and then if it works or feels like I'm not overtraining, then I will keep doing it...but...this can all be changed in a heartbeat...But yeah, we need to def. hit something together man. Hell, just lemme know what you would like to destroy, and I will put that as my saturday and add a rest day in the week.

[Fury317]

Good stuff. I changed up my split also. Im hitting back on Saturdays so if that works for you....

If not we can just figure out what we want to hit and get after it.

[BamBam92]

Good stuff. I changed up my split also. Im hitting back on Saturdays so if that works for you....

If not we can just figure out what we want to hit and get after it.

Dude...I was just fixing my oats and told myself "I bet we work back...thatd be sick"

HAHA...Thats good with me bro! So whats the date you have in mind for the ABC?

[Fury317]

HAHA thats awesome. Great minds think alike. Lets fucking tear it up!

I had originally posted April 19th in the afternoon, but if we have to move it back thats cool. I just gotta let Mark at Metro know the date about a week in advance.

[Madcat]

Im in but the 19th is gonna be tuff. If we can move it back a week ited be sick for sure. OR move it up 1 week too lol.

Nah Im just playing I dont want to make plans based on my schedule, lets see what everyone thinks?

Honestly I wont know until a final date is decided. BUT I am planning to be there as of today.

[escholar05]

Someone better be doin legs with me, I'm finally gonna be able to do them again. Since I haven't lifted on them, jeans are starting to fit in the legs again, and I wanna fix that.

[Fury317]

Madcat, youve been a core member of this Columbus crew. I would gladly move it back a week if it is less stress on you. Its not like its putting any strain on me or escholar05, shit were down the street. We can make it whenever. So, the 26th?

[BamBam92]

HAHA thats awesome. Great minds think alike. Lets fucking tear it up!

I had originally posted April 19th in the afternoon, but if we have to move it back thats cool. I just gotta let Mark at Metro know the date about a week in advance.

J-
