Hey i figured i'd drop some knowledge since i study Digital Media Studies, and tell you about some good ways to publish pics on the net.
Facebook (completely free; limitless photos)
http://www.facebook.com
Picasa (Google's answer to online photos; photo software as well; 1GB space)
http://www.picasa.com
Flickr (also good and free to an extent; 100MB per month)
http://www.flickr.com
But really if you wanna talk more about tech stuff, it is what i do and enjoy and will be more than happy to tell you more about anything just PM me. Enough from the nerd corner for now.

Count me in for sure! Ordered my shirt just now...should get here by Friday! Is it okay to bring a couple of friends who are wanting to check it out? I am trying to get them to sign up, but they may be more interested after getting to know the whole thing better.

If anyone has extra Animal Shirts, bring them to the event on Saturday for any guys who have just decided to join us in the last few days. It will probably be too late for them to order a shirt and get it by Saturday!!!
born0withno0soul
04-03-08, 4:03 pm
Pain4Life is right. anyone with any extra animal shirts need to bring them. if everyhting shows up in the mail on time, we will be hanging a large animal banner for a group picture and signatures. everyone needs to have an animal shirt for this.

Well guys, the first colorado event was a huge success. six people showed up with a strong will to move a lot of weight. the gym we chose to workout in was needless to say, a hardcore gym that most people will never get to see. there were barbells and 45 lb pies everywhere. they had everything a strongman competitor could ever need. a bodybuilders dream. we hit legs today and it was the best leg workout i have ever endured. we started with squats to get the blood flowing and i think its safe to say almost everyone hit a new personal record, one cat hitting 500 lbs for deep reps. but that was just a warmup. after that we went to front squats and continued warming up with the heaviest weight possible. then we moved on to the leg press. the fun started and people began really feeling the burn here. after that, stiff legged deadlifts. followed by leg curls, extensions, and of course supersetted calves. i can honestly say this is the best time i have had in along time and actually brought the fun back into weightlifting that i had lost awhile back. thanks guys for the experience. next time is my favorite. back day. deadlifts until everyone sees stars or pukes.
born0withno0soul
04-05-08, 5:48 pm
oh, and we also took a lot of pictures that will be posted up as soon as possible.
pain4life
04-06-08, 3:56 am
Today's workout kicked my ass!! I am still feeling the burn and just know I will be in more pain tomorrow!! All you guys were great and I can't wait to meet up again very soon for the next Animal Session. You guys gave me the energy I needed to keep pumping out those last painful reps with weight well above what I had been doing.
There are definitely some HARDCORE ANIMALS in Colorado we just had to find them and bring them together in one place.
pain4life
04-06-08, 4:04 am
I also wanted to say that we couldn't have picked a more Hardcore Gym!! The Colorado Pro Gym is just that. It is a gym for those who go to the gym to become Animals, not to get dates. It is by far the best gym I have ever been to in Colorado and will be joining very soon. Everyone in the gym had one goal, to get bigger and stronger.
pain4life
04-06-08, 4:04 am
I will be posting the pics tomorrow so everyone can see them and share them!!
pain4life
04-06-08, 4:05 am
I want more pain guys!! When is back day fellas?
GrayBull
04-06-08, 4:12 am
Hell yeah. It kicked mine too...was still trying to stretch in the shower at 1230am because my legs were so tight.
But today was awesome, guys. I'm really glad we all got to meet up and train together. Seems like we're really going to be pushing each other from now on, which is stupendous. Colorado Pro Gym is going to suit us very well. I can't wait for our next meet!
PS- if you're sure about joining, let me know so I can get a hold of Matt and let him know. His policy is 5 or more need to join to get the cheap discount, but if there aren't that many wanting to maybe I can talk to him and see if he can make some kind of exception.
Let's get planning on the next meet...BACK!
pain4life
04-06-08, 4:14 am
Graybull, let me know when you go down there to join. I am definitely in!!!
GrayBull
04-06-08, 11:12 am
Born/Boon, I wont be able to make it to the gym at 12. But I can go at 330...
My cell is- 832.212.1412. Call or text to let me know if this is a problem or anything as I wont be able to check this. Sorry for the confusion, didn't know I'd have to be doing this yesterday.
Boonetang789
04-06-08, 11:26 am
yeah my legs are pretty tight today. That was a good workout for sure. I am excited to meet again. I won't be joining that gym though, because i got DU's gym. Monday when i hit the gym i will ask if we all could meet there sometime in the future. If we did chest or arms there it would be awesome because DU has a lot of flat benches i think they have like 5 or 6 benching benches and then probably like 4 more just flat benches.
More to come later on that.
Graybull: just sent you a text, but either time is fine. Let me know what born says.
born0withno0soul
04-06-08, 12:45 pm
Im just throwing this out there and you guys can tell me what you think. May 11, 2008. Its on a Sunday and a little over 30 days from today. After talking around with you guys, would Sunday be easier for everyone to show up. A lot of people have shit going on Saturdays like work, and their kids' sports games. Colorado Pro Gym again of course
Boonetang789
04-06-08, 2:13 pm
yeah May 11th is fine.
born0withno0soul
04-06-08, 4:22 pm
We may or may not do an ABC every month but i figured we needed to get another going soon so we can get the Animal banner up and signed. I also sent out private messages to 20 people from Colorado on this forvm that did not come to the first event. May 11 should give enough time to spread the word and get it worked into everyones busy schedule.
born0withno0soul
04-06-08, 7:49 pm
Well it was brought to my attention that mothers day is may 11 and i dont think we need to meet up on that day. So lets do it the next sunday, May 18, 2007

awesome pics pain. as much as i hate taking pics i can say i am proud to be in these. just for anyone wanting to know, so we can learn names better, i am the one wearing the beanie. everyone else describe yourselves so we can better match faces with names.

That's a great idea Born! I am wearing the red Animal shirt with the blue/white shorts!!

I would definitely like to meet up before the next event for a workout session or two.

Hmm...that's weird. I didn't talk to that lady about any prices, but every time Matt's mentioned it it's been $15/session.
Chad, are you going to call and find out who's right, or do you want me too?
born0withno0soul
04-08-08, 3:28 pm
i would assume the owner knows best. i will pm everyone and tell them the admission is 15. i wonder if he will cut us a deal if there are 5 or more people?

I apologize for the inconvenience but i was mistaken on the admission price to Colorado Pro Gym. The one day entry will be 15 dollars. I know this is a bit expensive but the time invested in the ABC event and getting to workout in a hardcore gym like Colorado Pro is worth it. Hope to see you there and spread the word. I pm'ed this everyone in my list but i thought i would also post this here.

For sure, man. My current split has me doing chest on Monday so it'd be best for us to have another chest session. Plus it's good to have a spotter on that day.

No, I'm just playing. I actually think DB, both incline and decline, feel pretty good. It's just that first set that threw me off with that over-stretch in my right pectoral. Like I said....terrified of tearing something. That's why all my reps are so controlled.

i want to get everyones address before i get to work on bothering the staff. i dont want them having to orer out several shipments at different times. i only have two so far. there are three more that i need. i need strokin, cyrus, and pains addresses

born0withno0soul

That is all.

right on bro. im still waiting on strokins address and then i will see what the deal is with the abc shirts.

how did the back day go pain? dont push it too hard you need to be healed for the abc event coming up. resting for an injury isnt as bad as it seems. any mass you lose will bounce right back after you start lifting and eating again
born0withno0soul

Well boys, i have talked to the chairman of the ABC and sent him the addresses and shirt sizes of everyone who attended the first Colorado ABC. The shirts they give for this promotion is currently out of stock. We just have to wait patiently and they will be sent out as soon as possible.
born0withno0soul
05-07-08, 2:07 am
Also, the second Colorado ABC event is less than 2 weeks out. Its time to start inviting freinds, family, and co-workers to come have a very painful but fun event.

Haha. While that is an option... I don't think there will be time for it. The zoo doesn't open until what- 9am?
This sucks man. But I understand; if I had a son I'd probably do the same thing. HAVE FUN!
That's two ANIMALS out for tomorrow...

Should we just put it off or what?

We did it with 4. Come on all you Colorado Animals! Lets step it up. Good session today. Lets grow this Colorado chapter. Maybe some pushing from G will help. lol See you guys soon. Lets plan on arms next time.
born0withno0soul
05-18-08, 6:21 pm
i usually workout alone, so working with three others was very motivational. i have fun no matter how many people show. but i know colorado has much more potential, we just need people to be more involved and show greater enthusiasm in these events. great workout for those who showed
pain4life
05-18-08, 10:08 pm
Sorry I couldn't make it today. I hope you guys at a hard-hitting back day. Lets try to make the next event very soon.

I would love to be able to sign it before it is sent to HQ!!!
born0withno0soul
05-18-08, 10:35 pm
hi pain, we will decide when the next event will be soon. im not necessarily waiting on certain people to sign the banner, im waiting on the event to grow so we will have several signatures on the banner. maybe next time will be bigger and we can do it then. so to answer your question i still have the banner and it is unsigned
born0withno0soul
05-19-08, 4:26 pm
So when do you guys want to try this again? i know next time around we must have more participation in the thread and with family and friends. i know a lot of you guys dont hang around here as much as i do, but it wont kill you to stop by once a week and say your alive and coming to the event. This state has potential to grow big, but participation and motivation is needed. who knows, if we grow big enough universal might just send some of the pros out to lift and teach
dragondad
05-19-08, 10:40 pm
I would love to see universal send some pro's. Nice!!! My buddy got pretty motivated yesterday. I had a great workout! It was cool working out with guys with the same kind of interest. Lets say we shoot for June 22nd. I think fathers day is the 15th???
Boonetang789
05-19-08, 11:12 pm
After June 7th i have basically nothing to do (school is done). So i will be there and if a camera is needed i have a decent one to get the job done. I might have a friend or two who would want to come, so i will talk to them about it. Also sometime in June my army buddy is coming back and i know he would LOVE to come and show us some crazy army workout/torture, hahaha.
I'll see when he comes and keep me posted about the date.
GrayBull

Indeed it was a great workout. Had a really good time and it was awesome to see two new faces there as well...
Next time all you slackers better show. LOL. We need to get that banner signed and sent off.
Born- I got that guy interested in joining us. The one that lady at Ted's mentioned lifted as well. So hopefully that'll be another new face.

GrayBull, Thanks. It was awesome to workout with others. I travel alot, gets kind of boring working out by yourself. I need you to show me how to get my arms to peak. I've got good size, just can't seem to get them to peak??? Maybe start hammering bi's 2x's a week?
Born, Keep pushing! This chapter will grow. Nice job on the back routine. Thanks again, had a good day. This old guy is still sore. lol
born0withno0soul
05-23-08, 3:37 pm
yo dragon, as far as the arms go, you cant make a peak, all you can do is grow them as much as possible and they will shape themselves. i know graybull helped me with arm growth by getting me to work my arms with fewer sets. i do 9 sets max on my biceps and im seeing better growth than ever. if you do a lot of sets for arms try this method. fewer sets with heavier weight and more intensity
born0withno0soul
05-23-08, 3:39 pm
oh, and age does not have a dman thing to do with the soreness because i am sore as hell too. its been 5 days and im still a little sore. thats the routine i use alot for back day, i guess you guys being around helped me push myself because im usually not that sore.
born0withno0soul

Yeah man. I know how it is working out alone... and to some it can really blow.
As far as the arms go- Born has the right idea. You can't shape or bring out a peak in your biceps. They are what they are. All you can do is make them bigger.

Yeah I know. I really hope we can get this thing rolling... there's just no motivation, questions, communication, or just some bullshitting to pass time.
But eh- we'll get it going. Guess it'll just take a bit more time.
In other news: I lifted with Boonetang today and he said he would most likely make the next event! So yeah... just though I'd let you all know.

I don't know how you guys feel about the gym and...Born I'm not trying to step on your toes..but I think I found another "Hard Core Gym" on I-225 and Mississippi. I'm going to call him and try and work a deal on admin fee's. I have a problem paying $15.00 for a day when their monthly is $35.00 at Colo Pro. They have all the equip you need at Colo Pro...stuff I have never used but, to be honest, its not the money, its the principle. My gym is $3.75 (maybe $5 for non-locals) for a 1 day deal. So I guess on that note, its a hole in the wall but it seems to have everything I need...if you all want to make a field trip to Idaho Springs (its 18miles, 25min max from the Morrison exit off I-70) I'll still make that call to the other gym...keep you guys posted...

Was ready to go, as you can see from the posts that morning, but right after I logged off I made friends with the porcelain princess (my toilet) and spent quality time with her all day. I'm guessing it was the sausage from the night before, but don't understand why it didn't hit me during the night. I even had tickets to the Rockies game for after our meet and had to miss it!
Anyway, I'll save you from the details. But I certainly do apologize guys. This ABC is important to me and I want to see it grow from our continues efforts. The last couple of meets have been sub-par, so lets get serious and make this thing grow. It's really nice to have a big group of friends with the same interest in lifting as you. A group that can come together for support and encouragement. Don't let this die, guys.
I'm always around and always willing to meet up outside of out meets if any of you ever want. This ABC group is about building relationships as well as lifting. The synergism of the two are what make it special.

Sorry guys...I meant to send an e-mail this morning...I bought my daughter a car late yesterday and we got 10 miles from the dealer and it fucking broke down...we had box seats for the Crush last night at 6pm and didn't make that either...Mike and I spent the day at Autozone on 68th and Federal installing a new fuel pump in a 99 s-10 blazer...trust me, I would have much rather spent the afternoon with you guys...kind of unusual gray didn't show...do we want to try this again in a couple of weeks?????
Things happen, man... not to worry. I am sorry to hear about what happened though. I've had that happen to a couple used cars, and it blows hard.
I'm most definitely down to have another meet soon. But it needs to be a date that everyone can meet up on. It's not cool to have 8 guys saying they'll show and then less then have make it out. So check your calendars guys- what's looking good?

Hey guys we need to start planning the next ABC Event! However, I think we should try and find a cheaper gym so those of us who live far away don't need to pay the high daily fee for non-members. I would join the gym but I live too far away.
GrayBull
07-07-08, 11:50 pm
Those dates should be fine for me. And as far as the gym goes... I know it cost a lot to get in, I've been thinking the same thing myself. That means we need to start searching for another gym that would suite all of our needs. One maybe in the middle of all of us (not two minutes from me and 25miles from Pain), and with a cheaper entry fee. So everyone do their part and start searching for gyms around where you live. Then we can make a list of the best ones and choose together.
Sound good?

Kinda sad that the last post was from Graybull on the 7th. I know its summer time, but have any of you quit working out?? I know I haven't and I would love to get this abc chapter rocking. Would saturadys work better? Friday nights? Anybody have luck on the gym search? I was in Glenwood Springs last Tues. and the owner there knows the owner of that other gym off 225 and miss. and said he would give him a pre-warm up shout. (The Glenwood gym was pretty sweet. I walked in for the first time and they had Animal Pak posters on the wall. NICE!!!) I was supposed to look into it and haven't yet. I am going out of town tom and will be back fri. I'll try to get something rolling. COME ON YOU GUYS!!!

Yes. It's very sad...
I know I'm still working out, but it doesn't seem to be that way for many others. Or at least not together with this whole ANIMAL shindig. It's cool though- not for everyone I guess. I'm still around, though, if anyone ever wants to get together and lift.

Let me find a date that works and I would like to get together and lift again. I'll grab Mike and we can meet somewhere. I'm going to take the boat out next weekend but I think...the week after is looking pretty good. I'll keep you posted. I'll be out of town Mon-Fri next week so e-mails might be sparattic.

Life is wonderful. How is life treating you? Lets pick a day to meet up so we can get lifting again soon!! I will not be able to lift Aug 23-30 because of work-related obligations. Let me know where and what day you guys were thinking would work for the next session.

Hey guys! Sorry for the long hiatus! I didn't make it to the second lift and forgot to check back in from there. I don't receive any email updates from the site unless I get a PM so feel free to PM me if I'm gonna miss out on an event. Again, sorry for the long time away, I had a great time at the first lift.
Two thoughts, the fees at Colorado Pro are just too much. I'm sure you've all heard it before but I'm just flat busted right now. I would also be cool with doing an early workout on a weekday too...easier to fit into the schedule before work because that's my usual lifting schedule.

well boys its good to see you all continuing to show interest in this event. i have spent some time away for awhile but i will start logging onto the forum again. Its time to get things rolling and drop the bullshit.

I want as many people there as possible... especially if they're wanting to make it out. It's been so long since we had a good meet, i think we can either push it forward or move it back to accommodate for Pain's job. What do you guys think?

I'm glad to hear things are going so well, man. Life has been treating me pretty good as well. Just been dealing with some issues with my left knee lately though... will be setting up an MRI appointment tomorrow (doctor's orders) to make sure nothing's seriously wrong- since all of my tendons and ligaments seem fine.

Dude, it's GOOD to hear from you. I was wondering what happened to you after that first meet. Born had said he saw you sometime afterward at 24 but we never heard anything...
Things going OK with the job and everything? I feel you on pinching pennies.
And we're working on the gym situation.

I did see Borne at the Parker/Quincy location a while back, I totally forgot about that. I think I saw you the other day at the Tamarac locaiton but I was in the middle of a lift and didn't see where you went, LOL!
The job is good, my wife lost hers about a year ago and we've been whittling away at savings. She found a new one but the budget needed to be adjusted to accommodate her decreased pay. I think I will be getting a second job to makeup the difference and get to eating as much as I'm used to. It's been NOTHING but protein shakes, chicken, rice, and spaghetti. Need a little change but tilapia isn't as cheap as chicken!

I am glad to see we have some activity here again. I thought it was going to me and Graybull for awhile. Ok. The general concensus is that Colorado Pro is sweet but expensive. Where does everybody else lift? Seems like 24hr for some of you. How much is a drop in there? My gym is only $5.00, but, I am sure you guys are not up for Idaho Springs. I'm with Graybull on getting everybody we can there. As far as I know, I'm good for the 17th, 24th or 31st.

Pain, since you're working on the 24th... how do the other dates DD mentioned sound? Either one of them work for you (17th, 31st)?
The rest of you answer as well so we can determine which date would be the best to try and meet.
Either is fine with me as far as I know.

If I remember correctly... I believe me, Strokin, Born, and your friend Mike all lift at 24. That would leave you, Pain, and Cyrus (who I think is at Fitness 19 or Anytime Fitness) to come to come and pay the fee at 24. I believe it's only 5 bucks to get in for the day, and I have one more free pass for anyone who wants it.

Hey Gray, Mike is a Better Bodies member. So If you can check that drop in rate at 24. I would prefer to pay $5.00 than $15.00. We can get the same job done I'm sure.

I'm going to find out later today, when I go lift, how much it costs visitors at 24.
And DU is no longer an option... as Boone, the guy that attends there, is studying abroad for the semester.
I'll report back later tonight with what they say at 24.
