Anybody in Texas wanna get together? I got a couple my guys here at FT Hood ( central TX) and know of a couple in San Antonio. You can be military or civilian ( we can get you on post if we pick here to do this. Or we can rotate between locations.

I know there are a few Texas Animals, lets do this ,either reply here or PM me.

how many of us are military and have the brothers in arms shirts? figured we could get a group pic of the military guys for G Diesel and them.

at the risk of being too controlling ( hazards of the job), what do youthink we should do? chest?back? LEGS? My choice is Legs.
so far it seems like we are all relatively along I-35 ish, so maybe we can alternate between the cities?
anything wrong with saturdays in nov/ or dec 1 ?

if we pick to meet here or in San Antonio after, we can go to the mess hall to eat good army food ( or not)

hit me with your suggestions

I'm here in the west houston area. I would definitely try to make it for a gathering. Not military though. USMC wouldn't have me because of my crappy hearing. A Saturday would be perfect for me. I think any workout with the big lifts would be great. Chest would be good for those of us who train solo. But I freaking love leg day.

JMC
11-01-07, 2:37 pm
Robert, as far as switching up cities, that's fine with me...as long as it's somewhere in the general area. Unfortunately I cannot commit to a certain date as of now, my job has me travelling quite a bit. But don't let that hold any plans back. As far as lifting...it wouldn't matter to me.

Also, I think there are some more TX folks out here somewhere...I just don't know who exactly they are.

Oh, I don't have one of the military tees, but a few Animal tees.

its ok if you are civvie, we can get you in , and a bonus is that there is no user fee for the gyms on post so that should mitigate some of the costs.

I know where katy is at, I used to live in and around houston as a kid. you are a little less than 3 hrs away.

11-02-07, 3:20 pm
in order for us to be "sanctioned" each forum member needs to show up wearing animal shirts, and also sign the banner ( which I will request once we get set up).
If any questions contact me.

ldskenpo
11-02-07, 3:29 pm
I havent gotten any negative responses about doing this on 1 december. i really want to do this, so
suggested
1 dec 1100, meet at the front gate to ft hood ( myself and the other servicemembers will get all in), if you mapquest it, the zip here is 76544.
we need to be wearing Animal shirts, I will wear the yellow Animalpak shirt so I can be easily seen. then we will go to one of the gyms on post ( its free, no coordinating prices) do a leg workout, meet outside and get the group photo for G Diesel, sign the banner and then go somewhere to eat.

any changes?
let me know if you are gonna be there, JMC- if you can be there, be there even if it is last minute- you got a spot reserved.

JMC
11-02-07, 3:43 pm
Sounds awesome...as of now, I'm there...but like you said, it will be a last minute deal with my f-ed up calendar! I hope all others can make it out there.

I know we have been planning this for dec 1, can it be moved to dec 8? the plan for 1 dec just fell through the floor (the gym I was going to use has some scheduling problems, myself and the other 2 guys in the same unit have got to do "stuff", etc)

if this screws everything up too much, let me know. I just got out of the field yesterday and found this crap out.
We ARE gonna do this, even if it is in my garage with some hijacked plates.

I noticed a pile of powder in my van next to the box, opened it up and found that one of the Real Gains samples had burst. you guys are gonna get a buttload of stuff ( samples, new AOM's,posters).

get with G Diesel and see what happens, Texas is big enough that we might need regional chapters that all come together every once in a while for an all day event. To make the drive more worthwhile ( its about an 8 hr drive from here to there). And just because we call ourselves "Central Texas" does not mean people down south , east,west or north cant come.

12-06-07, 8:22 pm
with Texas being such a geographically large state ( it would take some upwards of 8 hrs to travel to 1 location) what if we set up not just a workout session, but a full day dedicated to the Animal way? what i am thinking is getting some of you guys ( G Diesel, wrath,ox,house,Vinny, etc) to come down here and spend the day with us- working out, clinic type stuff.

what would it take for Universal to send y'all down here? i am sure that the prospect of meeting and lifting with the "pros" would make it worthwhile to travel. what do you think?

the day started with me going by the gym to make sure everything was still ok, to my surprise, the shift leader reserved BOTH power racks for us and had the banner put up on the wall between them.so, after checking on that I drove back to the "rally point" to meet up with thoise who are coming down . I found ionacht and SQUAT OR DIE! waiting for me, czech boy, millsy and momo soon joined us and black carolina joined once we got to the gym. we waited until the appropriate time and then load3ed up into my vehicle entered post and went to the gym. After signing in, we went to the squat racks for our first exercise- squats. our workout was- squats, leg presses, leg curls, db lunges, calf presses ( due to time ). i think we had a great workout ( uused up all the 100 lb plates in the house), had a blast of a time, went to a buffet afterwards and chowed on some dead cows etc.
Everyone signed the banner ( which I will send to you G Diesel, as soon as I get the info from the guys).
the suggestion was put out there for our next meeting to be early jan 08 ( what about 5 jan 08?) here again, seems that we are fairly central to everyone and gym entry is free ( thanks y'all). - to understand that comment ya gotta come to a session, right ionacht?
for those who could not make this one, no hard feelings, I think we all agreed that next time we will do chest.
I had a F***ING blast y'all.

We all understand about work, injuries finances and stuff. But as I am thinking of how to make the next session better, I am going to do a few things differently,
First, about a week ago I pm'd everyone and gave them my cell# to use in case of need while trying to get here- next time maybe we should all exchange.This time, nobody called to say hey, cant come or whatever ( with the exception of ladysh01). I told G Diesel originally that we were to have 8 people show up, I want to try and double that number next time.

thats 18 people who have replied to this thread and the interest of getting together to show EVERYONE how its done in the GREAT state of TEXAS. Let's get together and have a kickass session, everybody chime in here.
Right now, the going suggestion is chest on Saturday, the 5th of January here on FT Hood again- it is centrally located to both dfw and houston and free use of the gym ( thanks). Now, if you dont want to do chest, that is fine, we are a group of people who just wanna have fun and throw weights around. Once again, it is understood about work,money,injuries and stuff- just come out when you can.

Oh, and the gym there is reason enough to go. Great facility with great equipment. I counted at least 4 flat benches so doing chest would be no problem. AND ITS FREE.

this is in no way bitching.... It is just something i happened to over hear at the rec today..


So i was on the LP, just finished a set and i stood up and was throwin on some more weight and i was leaning on the machine to catch my breath real quick and some girl and her friend walked by, and almost intentionally loud enugh for me to over hear one of the girls said "oh my god that guys a freak he must be on steroids".... and it took me everything i had to not go up to her and cuss her out.. So apprently if you can bench alot and have a nice body your some sort of god but if your big and strong as an ox your some sort of steroided up freak?? the frat boy whose benchin is probably the one on roids..

so feel free to throw back comments, am i over reacting or is she just some dumb bitch that doesnt know shit?

People are stupid. Just remind yourself, are you in the game for yourself or because you care about what others think? There will always be those ignorant folk, whether in the gym, at school, or in the workplace, that have an innate ability to not be able to recognize the hard work of others. The reason they can't is simple enough. To acknowledge the efforts of another would shine the light on how weak their own pathetic efforts are. Next time say "Thanks" and make them walk away scared when you start banging out 1000 lb leg presses.

whenever I get comments like that, i take it as a compliment, these people think I am where I am at because of chemicals instead of the hard work I have put in ( and I know you do).I am not in this for others I am in it for me.

see the freak part i kinda do take as a compliment, cause well fuck its true someone my age shouldnt be doin that, it is kinda freakish, but i guess some animals are freaks dependin on who you ask.. but peopel automatically assume and thats fucked up, i think thats what gets me more than anything else now, people assume i take the east way, instead of hard work and dedication that we all put in.. and yeah if i was in this for others and not me id be interested in a nice physique and not raw power and a beer gut.. but thats just me...

yeah more 100s sound good cause im runnin out of room on my LP with all the 45s and id like to be doin like 1400 (and make that girl run away in terror).... i suppose thats a reasonable amount next time we do legs..

and now when i get up i have the pleasure of yet another leg day, unforunately they seem to run together cause i have no chest days to seperate the blurr of 1000lb presses, GOD I LOVE BEIN AN ANIMAL!

Dallas/Fort Worth metromess would take care of north and east Texas, San Antonio for central Texas and south Texas, El Paso for west Texas, Lubbock for the Plains and Houston for the Gulf Coast.
Texas = 268,601 square miles
New Jersey = 8,722 square miles
New York = 54,475 square miles
etc...

yeah if we could get enough people to join wed probably do that but right now we dont have enough... apprently they are trying to start a south tx/ Houston area chapter.. and theres a few guys out west who i think want to join the central tx, but there wouldnt be barely any people in each ABC if we had more than 2 right now.. and most of us are willing to travel quite a ways to do it anyway

I have posed this question already, right now there has not been much response other than to this one, my thoughts are- texas needs a state coordinator, with 4 or 5 chapters ( hence I named this one central texas) I know there are animals all around Texas and I have a few thoughts on who to nominate for the requisite jobs, but again I need the responses to justify it.

No shirt here yet.

For the next meeting, the 23rd would work better for me than the 16th. A lot of stuff going on prior to that, and even though my match-up fell through, the possibility of being a last-minute replacement is still there. One week out, I don't want to do much besides skill work and some short conditioning sessions.

As far as a chapter I am game for the west Texas area (Permian Basin). We have our own hardcore gym in Odessa. We have a few bodybuilders, powerlifters, general lifters, MMA fighters upstairs as well as boxers.

Actually, Tyster has the bodybuiling contest in April. I was going to be fighting here in College Station on the 22nd, but the match fell through. Unless, someone pulls out at the last minute and a replacement is needed, I'll be behind the scenes helping to corner our guys that are fighting.

As some of you might know, myself and a couple of others are in the same unit and we are getting close to going overseas. So close, in fact that our schedules just got locked down.

I was wanting to wait until I told G Diesel this first, but time is running out. When the ABC's were first started , I jumped at the chance to start one here in Texas, and as I expected the meetings that we had were great and motivational. When I was allowed to do this, it was with the knowledge that soon I would have to step down and let someone else run the Chapter while we are away.

So, here is your chance, step up and contact G Diesel and keep this thing going, if it were not for the deployment I would not be giving up this opportunity.
Thanks for coming out to the meetings I was able to participate in, and I am looking forward to them again when we return.

ok my event today was an obtacel course, so it was all continous and i think i almost had a stroke..

consisted of a rope pull with 115, to a ladder drill, to a tractor tire flip (2 reps) 3 hurdles, a farmers walk with like 185, then a aprox 30m zig zag run to a sled drag, where you had to walk backward with it (less than 135), then small bunny hop hurdles, then a smaller tire flip (2 reps) the a empty keg walk, 3 kegs, then a 15-20m jog then a 40m spring... i got in the 3 min range, rather disapointing but i now know i need to work on muy conditioning a bunch, but the lifts themselves i did rather good on.

wore the ANIMAL T, i hope i did the brotherhood proud today, i gave it all i had and it took all i gave and more..

Not intentionally. Tx is just so big. A 4 hour drive to DFW plus 2-3 hours for lifting/eating whatever and you have 10-11 hours in the day gone. One thing we should do though is try and plan an all Texas gathering. If we have enough people say in Houston or DFW maybe we could work arangements to put up those from way off for the night. Maybe have a BBQ afterwards. That would have to be something planned several months in advance though.
