I'm up for it brothers!! But it will be a while though. I go in on December 12 for back surgery (three herniated disks) so I will be out of commision for a while. Plus I'm waiting to find out about another surgery, they found a tumor on my pituitary (explains my low T levels), so I gotta find out about that too. Keep me informed though. Stay strong.

Welcome aboard guys. Like the other guys have said, we need to have some sort of date and place in mind so we can get this thing off the ground. A few of us from Minnesota will make the trip to help you guys make this thing a success. Any information you need just ask.

The ABC is a movement that has been started here at the forum where people get together to train and talk shop. We just find a place that we all agree on and meet up. Everyone shows up in their animal gear and also signs a large banner that will be hung up in the Cage at the Arnold Expo in Ohio. Here's a link to "The Board" section. Take a look around at the various threads in there and you will see some more information as well as pictures from other chapter events.

Yeah I know, MN was the same way. You can only stand to look at pictures from other chapters for so long! There's another guy coming that cannot post yet. He's a trainer and also has some competition experiance. We'll get this going! Try to find some friends or other people at the gym that would be interested in signing up here at the forum.

There's a new member coming on named oregonpanthers. He is the VP of the bodybuilding/powerlifting club over at UW-Lacrosse. He has access to a pretty serious gym over there and said he could rally up about 50 members from the club. He's very interested in being the coordinator for the Wisconsin chapter and Lacrosse sounds like a great place for us to set up shop. He'll post in the thread when he becomes active and by the way it sounds, Wisconsin will be on the board in no time.

I am finally here my friends! Norrim I owe you one big man! Thanks for getting word out. Yes he is right. I am more then willing to take the positon of Wisconsin State Coordinator. I have been itching to take a role like this since I started college and began to feel and see the need for such orgs like this! I did some good work with the Fitness/Bodybuilding Club at Milwaukee and hope to do the same in January 2008 when I get my ass to LaCrosse for graduate school. For now I am focusing on doing what ever it takes to make this chapter a VERY active chapter. This means we actually do things and we do them often! I was also presidnet of my university Golden Key Honor Society and we never did shit, no one came out to events, no one set things up and no one helped me out. That sucked a big fat one! My other fitness/bb club was doing stuff every other weekend or monthly at minimum and we had membership growth rates better then any new org formed that year!


I do not care if your a veteran lifter or competitor or brand spanking new to the sport of lifting like an ANIMAL, I want every Wisconsin member to let me know what you want to happen in this chapter. Then with your feedback and some grunt work it will happen. There is no telling how big this could get, lets get this show on the road hey?

Thank you for your support! Riesjs and myself are here to help in any capacity possible. We have some big ideas that we are throwing around. I have mentioned that we could even use Wisconsin as a launch pad for a Massive Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Chicago gathering in the future. It's a big task and we are all in this to make the ABC a revolution in training. See what you can do about rallying the troops in Lacrosse when you get there and we will make the Wisconsin gathering a big success. I've talked to some other guys who are very interested in attending and I have high hopes for this chapter and all the surrounding ones. Again, thanks for your support and if we all work together on this, great things will come of it.

After voting closes I will simply go with the popular time period and location. From their we find the gym of choice and the events that we wish to have take place during the event.

Ok let the votes begin! I dont have a clue how to post a poll in these forums yet so we do it the old fashioned way. Do not reply with anything else other then the one combo of options you choose.

Locations:
UW-LaCrosse
UW-Eau Claire
UW-Milwaukee
UW-Madison


Time Frame:
Early Feb (1st weekend)
Mid Feb (2nd or 3rd weekend)
Late Feb (4th weekend)


I have connections to each of these universities as well as the gyms at those campuses. I can be absolutly sure to get a gym for the group if we did it at these locations. I will note that Eau Claire has the only remaining Golds Gym in Wisconsin and its not far at all from the EC campus. It would be kick ass to hold our event at a golds! But I am game for any one of the times and locations above. This vote will be tallied by me and me alone on Jan 1st and 11:59pm....have your vote and all your friends vote by then if note sooner. In the mean time lets figure out what we plan to do on this "1st Annual Wisconsin Warrior Animal Pack"

oregonpanthers
12-10-07, 9:17 pm
Yes the Arnold is taking place on the final weekend of Feb. This means we must move up the dates. We do this event either the final week of January or the first week of Feb and thats that. I think a Saturday would be best for everyone. So take pick between those two weeks. The locations remain the same.

To tell you the truth, I am probably going to be attending the Arnold in 2008. Not only the Cage, but I find an extreme calling to represent the ABC in our area and be part of whatever they have in mind for the weekend. I like your ideas so far on the locations. Do you have any links you could send me as to what these places look like that you have in mind? Intensity threw out a pretty good idea once, but I don't remember where it was.

Get some new members to the session... build your member numbers and go with it, train hard then eat big thats it bro!

Signing the banners the easy part. Start getting the word out on the session and made it big. YOUR ALL ON THE RIGHT TRACK!

I don't thimk I'll be able to get to this one, but hopefully some other time. The location is 4 hours away from me, which equals about $150 in gas in my truck (don't have that much $ to spend during the holiday season).

If someone is driving up from the Kenosha area, let me know and maybe we can split the costs.

oregonpanthers
12-13-07, 2:00 pm
I am going to Milwaukee this weekend to recruit from my former bodybuilding club at UW-Milwaukee. I have the executives from LaCrosse and Madison clubs doing them same. I suggested they all get a group(s) of 5 to carpool up to Eau Claire for the event. If enough time and warning is given out then any ride can be planned out to work. Break down the cost of gas and it will be much cheaper.

It was alright I guess. Not a lot of space in the basement to do Cleans or Deads. Had to move preacher curl out of the way to make room. It was pretty empty when I was there both days so it didn't matter too much. When it is busy things will probably be a pain in the ass because you know there will be a bunch of people doin biceps. There always is no matter where ya go. Anyways, I had a guest pass for the weekend. Member rates don't seem to terrible bad from what I saw. The place is twice as big as it was when Wisconsin Health & Fitness still had it. Good things happening. The owner is an older guy who seems like a pretty cool cat. Well, Thanks for includin me in this band of brothers. Be Easy, Peace- Nick

If I have some help I would be willing to try and set something up. It would be at "The Real Fitness" in Cedarburg. Shout at me if anybody is interested. I have a wedding to be at on June 29th but Saturday June 28th would be a very real possibility. The owner seems like a real cool ass dude but their free weight room is a little small. My girl knows the area better than I and I am sure she could recommend a great place to chow down afterwards.

Sorry for the long lay off guys! I forgot all about my animal brothers while getting adjusted to the new city, grad school, new job, all that shit! I am back now and here to stay this time. I am more eager then ever to step up and do what ever I can to make things work for the WI ABC chapter. I currently live in La Crosse, WI and plan to be here through May of 2009 before I graduate from graduate school. I am president of the strength & power sports club here at UW-La Crosse right now and we have a strong mens and women following in weightlifting, powerlifting and bodybuidling. I really really want to organize and coordinate a summer gathering for all WI animals and the like!

I feel that the Golds Gym in Eau Claire WI is the most appropriate location for a group like this to meet at. Getting the venu and date is easy on my part, promoting this and recruiting animals to come is another, this will be a collective effort from all of us!

I think the time should be early afternoon, like around 1pm. However I think the one who has the furthest to drive to get here should make the ultimate decision.
I asked about having non members lift at my gym Club West, but they charge some bullshit out of town fee so it would cost $15(!) to lift for the day. I havent hit up Golds yet, which is a block from my house, but that might be a better option. Also dont know if anyone who is coming is a member.
Another option if you want to go the free route,and if theres not too many people, is to have you guys come over to my house, we can bring my weights up from the basement, and lift in the driveway or my garage. We can also flip the tractor tire up and down the driveway if you want. Old school.

I'll be there. No question about it. I'll have a couple other animals with me as well.

Alright Fellas, I have a second date set up to go with your Appleton date. Saturday, June 28th at the Real Fitness in Cedarburg, WI. I talked with the owner this morning and he said if we bring a group of us he would be willing to let us in for $5 a piece. My girl is tracking a buffet that we can hit up close by afterwards. Let me know if you guys are in for this and then I will email the owner all the details. Do we get a banner for our chapter or how does that work? I don't care who ends up being our coordinator as long as we can keep gettin dates set up. The team thing seems to be workin best for us right now. Gotta love Brotherhood.

Date: Saturday, June 28th

Time: 1PM as of now

Place: Real Fitness, Cedarburg, WI

Bodypart: Their free weight space is a little small so we might have to split up.

After workout food stop: TBD


Animals:

Two dates within a month of each other. Could you ask for anything more?! Be Easy Brothers, Peace-Nick

I contacted Gold's today and they normally charge $15 per person, but they will give us a 5$ discount for a group rate, so it'll be 10$ a person if you guys want to go there.
The chinese buffet is roughly $6.95 for lunch if we end up going there.

Glad to see my Animal brethren to the North getting things up and running. Good luck guys, hope you get a good turnout, and train hard! I'm looking forward to seeing some pics at the end of this month.

If you all ever get a lift going closer to Milwaukee (Appleton and Cedarburg are a little far for me, what with gas prices and all), I might be interested in making the drive up and attending the session. That is, if you don't mind an F.I.B. training with you guys, lol.

Hey brothers, new to the forvm and wanted to drop a line to my fellow Wisconsin Animals. Is there an ABC coming up anytime soon? I saw talk of November? I'm out of Milwaukee but willing to drive wherever to make it. Also, I don't want to come off that I'm trying to promote this because I have no ties to the competition but on November 1st Wrath is guest posing at the NPC Badger State Competition in West Allis. With him being an Animal athlete I thought it fitting that we all should go and show our support.

Hey fellas, just wanted to extend an invite to you all for our next Chicago ABC. Here's the info:

Date: Sunday October 12th

Time: Meet-1:00 PM
Lift-1:30 PM
Eat-Immediately afterward.

Location: Gold's Gym Joliet North
3595 Hennepin Dr.
Joliet, IL 60435

Cost: To be determined. (I'm working on getting guest passes or a reduced day rate.)

So there it is. The gym is basically right off of I-55, just past the mall at the Route 30 exit.

Like I said, I'm going to try and get some guest passes or a reduced day rate for people. I'll post that info up as soon as I can get it.

As for eating afterwards, there are alot of restaurants right near the gym. Here's a list of some of them:

Outback Steakhouse
Texas Roadhouse
Lone Star Steakhouse
Hooters
Diamond's (Family style place.)
Steak and Shake
Old Country Buffet
TGI Friday's
Crapple...I mean, Applebee's

Personally, my vote would be for Outback or Texas Roadhouse. Let me know what you all think.

Also, please post up in here if you plan on coming so that I can get a rough headcount, and so that I can get enough guest passes if I can manage to get those.

Hope to see you all there!

We can go the Golds that we went to last time, or to Club West, which is about three miles from Golds. I haven't called yet, but if only three people show up, I might not be able to get the group rate again. In either case, the cost would be $15 for each gym. I'm partial to Club West because I'm a member, also I like the free towels and hot tub. I'm cool with either though.
Also, we have to pick a spot to eat. I'm cool with the Chinese buffet again if you guys want to go, otherwise that area has restaurants all over the place.

I'll have to check the calendar, but I don't believe I have anything going on that day.

Football will most likely be over tomorrow, and I will start being around a lot more often again.

Thanks for getting this going.

So we're a little over a week away, and I'd thought I'd check to see if this date works for everyone, or if we need to push it back a week. Also, any thoughts on the gym options or where we want to eat.

Well, I'm not going to be able to make this Saturday now. Anyone want to lift on the 21rst instead?

Hmmm, well I gotta say fellas, Im a little disappointed in the lack of overall response here. So, if anyone happens through my area, hit me up and I'll be more than happy to lift with ya if Im free that day. It may not be an ABC meet, but hey its something.

I think there needs to be more activity on this thread. Also more concrete plans and commitments.
If nothing happens with this Dan, and you want to lift in Appleton, hit me up and Ill lift with ya on Sat. Jan 3.
