Fellow AR animals, I'm going to take the lead in trying to keep us as a solid brotherhood here as I know there are not many of us...I live up in Fayetteville and I know Crash does too.

Let's make this chapter of the ABC a strong one by keeping each other accountable and helping each other out whenever we can.

I would love to set a workout and meeting sometime here in the near future, I will be getting married two weeks from this Saturday and won't be back until around the end of November and I know that all of us will be getting ready for the holidays, but you guys give me some feedback on what you are thinking as I was thinking about doing something around the first of the year...

Let's go ahead and introduce ourselves and let everybody know what part of AR you are in...If anybody needs to ever get in touch with me my number is 479-225-2371

Maximus told it like it is. I'm down for whatever, whenever, however. Just give me date, time and place. It's high time that we poor lost souls out here in Hillbilly Country, raise up, to Layeth the Smacketh Down. PM me for my Cell.

...Strength and Honor...

That sounds awesome, man, now we just have to get us some more guys and we will be ready to rock and roll!

Surely there are more then three of us animals here in arkansas? Anyways, I should be able to make it up there any weekend between now and when I come back for xmas break. Also, have either you guys ever been to the golds? I here the rate is pretty cheap...

Maximus
10-27-07, 9:46 pm
I have yet to see a Gold's up here, unless you are talking about the World gym...anyways, those gyms are too froo-froo and we will get in trouble for making noise there...Crash and I are both members of the Northwest Athletic Club and trust me, that is an Animal gym if there ever was one...

That's the problem, with living in the Walmart capital of the world. They think "Good Enough" is "Good Enough". Believe me. Enough times of seeing three Lunatics, running around in Animal Gear, training their Balls off, will create a stir. It only takes one to start a Revolution.

Maximus, Torque, and Crash......it's mchik and I'm down in Arkadelphia, but I will do my best to make the trip up there to Fayetville/Springdale even if I have to take a friggin bus. All i need is a date, time, and place.

Crash
11-20-07, 4:15 pm
The Place will be Northwest Athletic Club, where Maximus and I Train. The Day and Time have not been set yet. Maximus is wanting to wait till the first of the year. I do not know how that will co-inside with Mchik, and Torque757's schedule since you two are both in school. Feasibly, the earliest and most convient time looks like December 15th and 16th. We could train in the early afternoon, and then hit Panda's Chinese Buffet. They have Spicy Fajita beef, Steamed Seafood and Vegatables, Rice and Vegatables. Etc. Etc. Etc. If we are wanting to wait till the first of the year, then I believe that the 5th and 6th would be the very latest before Mchik and Torque757 are called back to school. Let's get this ball rolling. I say we do Back or Wheels as I want to show the masses how you train to be a freak.

We won't turn you away bro...come on down! Now that I am finally back from the honeymoon and life is starting to get back to normal, I don't think that the 15th and 16th will be a problem...Crash is definately right about going to the Panda Buffet, that place has sushi, fajita beef, and all the good stuff that we will need. Let's tenatively mark off the 15th or 16th as our meeting day...and back or wheels is fine w/me.

Crash, thanks for taking over w/the VP duties while I was in Cabo...you are the man, bro!

Not a problem buddy...I feel that the 15th may be the best b/c its a Saturday and that will give everybody a chance to make it home on Sunday...Give me some feedback everyone

Crash
11-21-07, 2:47 pm
I agree. I have work committments on both days, But on Saturday I have to be in at 5 pm, as opposed to 3 on Sunday. The gym opens at 10:00 on Saturday. I say we stride in at high noon. At that time the early Weekend Warriors should be finishing up, and the Gun Bunnies that are sleeping in will just be getting their cups of Mocha-Choca-Latte, or their Cans of energy drink.

I say Wheels till the first person passes out. Since you are the Salesman, Maximus, do you want to talk to Lee?

Haha...yeah I can talk to Lee, last time I went in there w/one of my buddies, he let them work out for free since they had never been there...but even if we don't get everybody in for free, it's only $5 so it's pocket change

mchik
11-21-07, 3:42 pm
everything sounds great here. I'll just make some final arrangements and should be good to go.

Crash
11-21-07, 3:51 pm
I didn't know if Lee would want to do anything to promote it or not. I know he's got some "big" guys there. But if Mchik is actually able to make it, she would blow those three housewives on diet pills out of the water. Could you actually see one of those skinny bitches putting 135 on their back for reps? That, and Four other guys training their balls off. I think it will be quite the event.

I am sure they paired off, and went with the "I Go, You Go" method. Our gym has 2 squat racks, a cage, 1 leg press, and 1 hack squat machine. They have 3 leg extensions(one upstairs), all of which suck except the one back in the Leg Room. a Lying Leg curl, a sitting leg curl (Which Sucks) and a Hamtractor (Upstairs) (Which is pretty good as a finishing exercise.) I don't think we'll have a problem.

Snow has been forecast for this Saturday. I know I have 4 Wheel Drive and Maximus should have it on his Expedition. I am unsure about Gelbach! and Torque757. Knowing the weather here in this Fucked up State; It's either going to be sunny, or we are going to get a foot of snow. If either of you two guys need some help, let us know.

What's up Brothers,

Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. I'm 23 years old. I'm originally from Springdale, but I'm currently in Italy serving in the military. I've been in the trenches for about a year and a half now. I've had a few setbacks but hope to stay healthy for a while. I'm 5'10", 205lbs, and 10% bf. I have the itch and I can't get rid of it. I go to the gym to try and change my body every training session. Looking forward to getting out of the service and getting back to my roots in Arkansas. Can't wait to do my part in the FORVM and hope to be a part of this club. If anyone could PM me an up to date scoop that would be great.

Gehlbach!

Maximus
12-17-07, 8:23 am
There was only three of us, but we rocked our legs really hard! It sucks you got sick, you missed out on a great session, but there will definately be plenty more. I hope your feeling better so that you can get back into action quickly. Crash and Torque, thanks for coming and bustin your tails like a true animal does. Torque, Crash and I look forward to your prescence at the Northwest Athletic Club while you are out on break.

BigCountry-we will be more than happy to add you to our ABC. We need all we can get and let us know when you are getting back and we can probably plan another session around that. Thanks for keeping us safe over there and we look forward to having you with us soon!

The next time I should be home on leave is around the middle of March, so if you wanna start planning on something then. I'll be home for at least 2 weeks so I'll be open anyday. Plus my house is only 5 mins. away from Northwest Athletic Club.

That sounds like a plan...did you workout at the Northwest Athletic Club when you were here?

BigCountry021
12-19-07, 10:40 am
I just worked out wherever I could. I've been in NW Athletic Club a couple of times. I'm not picky on where I workout as long as I can get in there and not worry about people being in the way. I'll let ya know the exact dates when I get the flight plans arranged.

BigCountry021

mchik
01-23-08, 2:53 pm
My parents barely let me drive to Benton alone to watch the movies, but I'm still trying to conjure up ideas. My spring break will be sometime in March....so that might work out great!

01-23-08, 2:55 pm

mchik
03-12-08, 9:29 am

If I do get to go, I would come by bus....doesn't matter what time to me.

What are we gonna train?

Maximus
03-12-08, 9:45 am

Seems as though you and I are the only one's around here. mchik is hasn't sounded here in awhile. Torque757 is back in Conway, although he might be back for the summer. Maximus is concentrating on getting ready for his trophy, and I never saw BigCountry021.

Have two people I lift wth in The Rock. One of them is 22 and is still in college and the other is 28 and working everyday like me. Our gym is small but we have everything we need and people stay out of our way so it works. Our gym manager and good friend still competes at age 64 and looks fantastic. No one in my workout group competes although we have the size to make some noise. We have Justin 6'4 250-260ish, DJ 5'6 230, and myself at 5'7 190.

Started a blog as more of a workout journal last week. Check it out at CelticMuscle@blogspot.com

If anyone ever wants to come down and hit chest on a random Saturday just let me know. Gym guest fees are free for my boys. I'll buy the protein.

What do you guys think?
