View Full Version : South Carolina Animals
Anyone in the forum around the South Carolina area. I live in Hilton Head Island and would be willing to set up a training session if anybody is willing to lift. I train at a pretty good gym, old school pure iron dumbbells that go up to 140, power racks, hack squats (those are few and far between), benches, shit some of the 45 pound plates exceed the 45 pounds and are 47, 42, 49, haha. Im not gonna say its a completely hardcore gym, but it definately doesnt meet the standards of the facilities that are around today, which is why i stay, love the old equipment and free weights. So if anyone is in the area, just post up and hopefully we can set something up.
Dude, little too far, I was hoping you were South of the border SC close to Charlotte, but oh well. Not sure what gym you're at, I vacationed last april at MB and worked out for a week at the Golds Gym there, 2 roads off the main highway, turn left at the gas station, sorry if this doesnt make sense. Nice gyms though, kinda hardcore...Funny story about it though...

I am sure we have to have some Animals down in SC. Give it some time, we will spread the word.

You could try and run a search under "The Legion" tab. I found some members for the Iowa and Minnesota chapters by finding them and sending out PM's. Maybe that will help.

Hey man,
If we ever get enough animals together in Charlotte, it might be a shorter trip for you. Charlotte is right on the border of SC and NC. Anybody else in Charlotte, North Carolina or close? I know there has got to be some animals out there, its a big flippin city, lol. Anyone?

Yea it would be good if we could find like a group of 10 or so people and have a workout like once a month at different gyms.
FAO and Legacy, I would be down for a meet anywhere, of course the closer the better but it don't matter cause this is the ABC were talking about! Just let me know.

I live in Pelion, right outside of Columbia. Sorry Hilton Head is to far for me.

I go to school in MN. But when I am home I live in Beaufort. There are a number of big cats that roam the YMCA there in the evening if you are looking for some old school dudes. Mr. Terry, and Q are both large men. Anyways. Next time I am home maybe we can get together. Because your only a 20 minute drive.

Yeah man sounds good. My training partner down at school here in Florida actually lives in Beaufort and comes down to my gym often and trains when we are back home from school. We can try and work something out when it gets closer to summertime.

If we do an ABC gathering this summer, we should try to find a place in Columbia to hold it so that more people can come (central location).
BTW, the Dungeon > Fike. Haha, Miller.

ABC event. Let me know if you are interested. I live in Easley and train at the YMCA and I will ask about an event, but if anyone has a better gym or ideas I would be glad to talk to you. If we have enough bros from the lower part of the state it would probably be better to have one in Columbia which would be central to everyone. Looking forward to seeing a huge turnout!

I am not familiar with any at Hilton Head but that definitely doesnt mean that we cant get an event going there. I know weve got animals all over so we should be able to do something.

Check with management and let me know. Your location is fairly central to the state, so if they OK it and we can get a few animals we will have us a session!

Hey man I actually live down in Hilton Head. I train at Legacy Fitness, it use to be a Golds Gym, but changed the name. Let me know exactly when your coming down bro and we can hook up a training session.

I live down at Hilton Head and might be able to get an event going at the gym I work at. Its a pretty badass gym with real weights, got some hack squat machines, squat racks, bench, pretty much the basics, no fancy equipment or any of that shit.

Sounds good to me, I never cared for machines anyway. If we set it for July that would make 3 of us, 4 if YoungOne could make it. Hoping we have more animals post up in the next few days. Been a long time since I was in Hilton Head, last time I was there I got to see a panama jack bikini contest, it's been a while.
SC needs to get rolling, we've got a decent start but we need to get an event scheduled and would like to see some more Animals post up. I know you are out there, we are everywhere. So post or PM me and we will get to liftin.

So far we've got Hilton Head for sometime in July. Would like to set one up for June, either around the upstate or in Columbia. If we do it around Columbia I would need some help setting up a gym. If we do it in the upstate we could use my gym. SC needs to have some events, so post up and let's get it going!
We got YoungOne hitting me up on getting an event around Columbia for June. Any other takers?
Legacy, I see that you work at the gym you mentioned, if kcinnitram91 is in Hilton Head July 18 would this work for ya? Maybe around midday cause I will drive down and then drive back afterwards. If this works let me know and I'll PM kcinnitram91 and see if that's good.
Still looking for something this month. Anyone interested post up.

Would love to, only prob is I don't know anyone in Myrtle Beach to get a gym together. Legacy is in Hilton Head which is a little far from you and Youngone is in Sumter which is probably a 2 hour ride, and I am a good 5 hours ride from there. I will do another search or something to try and find someone around that area. Hold tight, hopefully we can get this going.

Check your PM bro.
Looks like we may have something for end of June @ Myrtle Beach. Going to contact a gym and try to get it rollin. We got Youngone and HardGainer on board. Legacy are you in? The more the better!
Im not sure about the July 18th, i know i have to work during the day, but probably anything after the 19th and before August 1st is what i can do due to the fact im leaving for school in august. What about the 19th? I think I am probably workin the gym on that day, so there would be no problem letting yall in and gettin shit done.

Hopefully that will work, I have to go out of town right at that time for work but it has been changed 3 times so we will see. I was curious if you could lift at Myrtle Beach maybe June 28, looking into Gold's, but will post the info up when I get it.
Alright, Hardgainer is going to be in N. Myrtle Beach starting June 28, and I am waiting to see what day is good for him, but I have talked to someone @ Gold's on Hwy. 17S N. myrtle beach and they told me they were fine with us coming in for a lift. Will have to get guest passes which are: Daily - $12.00
Weekly - $30.00
Legacy has July 19 at his gym in Hilton Head. So there is two options for everybody. Post up and let me know.

Well i hate to break it ya guys, but i cant make any of the animal sessions in south carolina, im heading back down to florida earlier than expected, so i will be gone over the dates we planned to have sessions and most likely wont be back. Im gonna have to switch to the florida animal club, too bad we couldnt get something started sooner, but ill keep posting up here if i get back in SC. Train Hard!

Damn bro, hate to see you go, but if you ever get back to SC post up and we will def. lift. Good luck and hope Florida treats you well!
How about Columbia in July. This would be middle of the State and shorter distance for all of us. Really need to do this, SC has been looking pretty bleak. Post up and when I get some info I will let you know.

It would be 2 1/2 hours from greenville and 2 1/2 hours from clover, I could make the trip how about you tatersalad? Looking at late July, work for everyone?
Thinking last weekend of July or first weekend of August.......thoughts?
Let's get this rolling at YoungOne's gym in Sumter, just need to firm up a date. Post up what works and let's DO THIS!
