It is a very cool experience URep....putting faces/bodies with the names and training with them is pretty awesome...we push and motivate each other....and it's just pretty cool to see other people with the same interests and Animal mentality! The ABC is a great idea, thanks for all the support, posters and sup samples!!
Gotta thank Animal/FORVM for all the good friends I have made and the ones I'm yet to make. Because of the ABC I have a training partner now and meet regularly with some of the other chitown Animals to train.

It's pretty cool bro, walking up to the gym and see a mob of all black, gym bags in hand and that LOOK. Hit the iron like a pack of wild dogs. No dicussion nessceary. Every one is on the same brainwave. We moved as pack of 7, faster than most in the gym who were working alone. The t-bar row station at never going to be the same after we got threw with it.
Hit the resturant, that was classic. I was watching the fellas attack the salad bar, the look on the managers face was priceless, If she could have done something about it she could have, but she was powerless as she watched us eat the days worth of fixings...LOL...
Working out with a buch of guys that are all on the same wavelenght and push you to do more, go heavier, break barriers is awesome, an awesome experance...can't wait for the next time.

Hopefully, this thing is gonna continue to grow... Who else could pull it off but Animal?
Great looking at all the other ABC pics across the country; seeing the ANIMALS and some impressive gyms! Looking forward to more pics from more events. Really makes ANIMAL come alive!

Our first NorCal meet was great, being able to put a face with the screen names. I went way out of my comfort zone that day, lifting more than I had lifted before. Being motivated beyond my previous max weights. Being able to meet every one really makes the Forvm come alive for me also. Just meeting a great bunch of like minded guys (and Gals if we get some sisters here in NorCal) is great.
It sounds like this December I will add 3 more to my list of Animal friends.

I mentioned this in the other ABC thread, but figured it would be good to hit it again... I'm working on trying to get Corporate to offer Animal Ts at a slight discount so that members of the ABC can pick one up more easily for their event. If we could organize it through the ABC coordinator, that would be great. Stay tuned.
counting down the days till dec.2 when the MN chapter "ICE WARRIORS" meet for the first time

There's a few others that may be interested as well. I know for future gatherings we will have a few more due to the time constraints of this gathering. I'll see what I can do for the Dec. 2nd gathering. Any significance with 10?
I have a guy who I am trying to bring along, good beginer, knows enough to get by. Again all the thanks in the world U
It is like the best w/o you will have. You are hitting iron with people who have the same intensity and work ethic. That makes you work harder and strive to get it done and help your partner get there goals done. It is a real honor to work with the fellas no doubt.
I can not wait until dec. 9th. The indiana crew I am gonna try my best to bring my crazy ass down there as well....

Thats what it's all about ^^^^^^^^
have been getting alot of positive feedback for the upcoming session here. Its actually gotten to the point where its now a second job for me to coordinate this here. I have so many people wanting to do this. I am talking all walks of life...young, old, male, female, experienced, novice...The only problem is that everyone wants there own workout plan and I am trying to give everyone some advice but it becomes crazy. So my only answer to them is shoving a AOM in there hands and telling them to read it and get back to me after they have done so. It has opened some peoples eyes and they come back to me saying that they couldnt put it down and kept reading and reading. The more they read the more motivated they became to start on there own "journey" hell, i even had people ask me to hold 3-4 ABC sessions a week...So moral to this story is, the AOM has saved my ass from spreading myself thin, it has helped light a fire in people that needed it...awesome, just awesome....

G, thanks for the feedback bro. The AOM is a great piece of work and is probably something that many of us have read over and over since it first came out. If you or anyone in the military need any AOMs, just let me know. We send them to anyone in the military with APO or FPO addresses.
