From G's list there's no RI chapter. I know you guys are a small state but I'm sure there's gotta be some Animals there, who wants to get a chapter going?

Seriously, there's ZERO people in RI out of the 10,000+ on this board?

Probably would be best to make the drive to either CT or MA for an event.

RHODE ISLANDDDDDDD

so what do we got.. 2? i train with a guy who's registered here, but unlike me he doesn't have the extra spare 5 mins to check it occasionally. he'd be down. i'd love to get something started here.

What are we talking about fellas? Providence? Pawtucket? By one of the universities?

providence, warwick, narragansett (university of rhode island)

being in rhode island.. distance doesn't really matter that much, i think it's just about finding a good gym.

i got yelled at for doing tbar rows because i guess that's a "liability and safety issue due to the modification of equipment" so i guess my gyms out.

yea RI is so damn small, distance never is really an issue

im from warwick myself but work out in East providence due to convince of being near my work

I grew up in the Pawtucket area.

Is World Gym still on Branch Ave. in Prov.?

That was pretty hardcore 20 years ago.

i am a member of golds gym east greenwich, golds gym pawtucket, steves gym (most brutal old school dump of weights ive ever seen) in bonnet shorts, narragansett. and i regularly attend world gym in wakefield and warwick rhode island.

steves is the smallest but most suitable environment for an ABC event. but either of the worlds gyms in wakefield and warwick are very decent and totally sufficient in size, espescially the warwick location. warwick is a very decent location for everybody to get to. its directly off of route 2 and in the middle of the state so travel shouldnt be a hassle for many people. dumbells go up to 120. lets get this done guys.

i got yelled at today for doing t-bars in the corner, in the middle of the double cable station. ha! i wanted to see that jerk pull 6 plates of the floor for 8 reps. what an ass.

by the way, in case anybody is curious...

im 21 years old.
6'2
250.
15% bf.
350 lb bench.
510 lb squat for 2
475 lb rack pull for 7.

im serious about this stuff. if we have an abc event, il be thrilled. i eat sleep and breathe this stuff.

teeth... my summer job is 5 mins away from steves gym. ive been interested in checking it out but i have never had the time really. hearing what you said about it is refreshing haha. i used to train at world in warwick and im semi friendly with the owner and i'm sure that would be ok to hold an event there. good location.

edit: my bad didnt read that you trained there as well. does jim still own it? him and that kid youjay (no idea how to spell that dudes name) that works at the desk are cool guys.

what exactly needs to take place in order to coordinate an abc event?

i live in rhode island and am very interested in bringing animal to the smallest state in the u.s.

do i contact the gym first and alert them?
do i contact you?
is there a cost involved?
is there an application i need to fill out?

Gather up your crew, PM G Diesel and tell him you're trying to start a new chapter. When you decide on a date to get together, he'll send you a poster (and whatever else) so you guys can sign it and send it back to UN. If you don't have a whole lot of guys, then calling the gym to let them know may not be as big a deal, but if you'd like to hang up the poster or whatever, it's just the safe bet to let em know you wanna run a sponsored event at their place. I'd recommend calling them no matter what. No applications or whatever, just let G know you want a RI chapter and he'll take care of you.

alright guys. Which gym are you guys interested in invading. i for one nominate the warwick worlds gym on rt 2. VERY easy to get 2. Lots of space. Lots of free weights. Decent atmosphere.

EVERYBODY WHO WANTS TO ATTEND MAKE A POST ABOUT WHICH GYM YOUD LIKE TO DO THIS AT. WHEN WE FIGURE OUT WHERE WE WANNA LIFT, IL LET G KNOW.

I'm a short timer here since I'll be moving on military orders at the end of June '09, but would be willing to assist in getting something together. I think some of my best lifting days are behind me, but the itch will never cease. Located in Newport.

I'm new here & living in Narragansett. My girl has given me the lowdown of this entire state & I'm not leaving. This place is beautiful. Now that I have found home, who the hell trains here?!

I currently frequent two different gyms. One is Next Level Fitness in Johnston. It's an "athletic training center" and has plenty of equipment & turf to boot. I also train at Ocean State (Bodybuilders Inc) & this place is straight out of fucking pumping iron! TONS of old school equipment (that's full functional) Lots of specialty bars, etc. This place is every animals dream.

Animal/Universal Staff... If you are reading this know I am entirely up for the job of coordinator!

Hey. Im not too too far from R.I. Living in Mass I have the same problem with finding people. I've found 2, maybe 3 people on the forvm here from Massachusetts. We hold an ABC in Connecticut if that's not too far from you.

What's up bro's? Names Nick from Warwick, RI. I've been weight training for a while but I'm newer to the the Powerlifting world. Theres got to be plenty of strong and dedicated Animals in RI and we need to start linking up and training together. I currently train at Global Gym in Cranston (used to be Gold's gym), which is one of the most Powerlifting friendly gyms in RI. I also have trained at Ocean State Gym in Johnston, which is probably the last truly Hardcore gym left in the state. It's time to resurrect this thread and start bringing together some of the strongest people in the smallest state.

Peace
