Oh ok sweet.. How you liking that new center over there?? It's pretty damn sweet..

I wish that they had not of closed down GOLD's there..
I usually train at Rivera.. it sucks and it is small..

Sometimes I train out in Hazel Green.. Where I lived and trained at my Uncles Gym.. The Bullpen..

Its ok. Its big and I have good connections there so nobody gives me any trouble for chalk, bands, slamming weights, whatever. Its still a "fitness center" and not a powerlifting gym, but its what I have to deal with.

Gold's is supposedly coming back to town. I know there is a guy who has bought the licensing rights, and that aint cheap. Supposedly 2 Golds are coming, and one with a Powerlifting room, but we'll see...

Yeah Riviera sucks, I went in there once and will never go back. I'll train anywhere though, your uncles gym sounds cool, whats it like?

It is basically an old barn that he turned into a gym.. Pretty hardcore gym. Not the newest equipment but its the best IMO.. It not big by any means but it gets the job done.. He used to be a powerlifer so I'm sure he would love if the Bama crew got together for a session

That would be sick if GOLDs would come back.. I buddy of mine's dad used to have a partnership back in it YEARS ago but got out of it long before it shut down..

Does he still run that gym? I would love to see what he has. I dont care about new crap in the gym, I like hardcore, no frills places.

I know there are some powerlifters down in that area, I am not sure where they lift at but I know they have a Monolift, chains, etc. I only really run in the Powerlifting circles, so if you are interested in some more info I can hook you up with the right people. PM me for details.

I'm new to the Montgomery, AL, area and would like to join the ABC. I don't know if I need to meet a certain minimum, but I have the desire to get big and converse with like minded people. Also, can only men join? My wife sees me taking my Paks and got interested when I described the ABC.

Thank you.

What all is involved in getting a Coordinator for Alabama's ABC? I don't know about you guys but, i work night shift so finding someone to train with is next to impossible. Unless you count my girl, who isn't quite enthused with the type of work outs i do.

OK...bama animals....how about sunday, may 11th, 2008? how does that work for everyone. the gym will either be IRONWORKS in hueytown or WORLD GYM in gardendale which for most will be near I-65. but i want to see if this date works first. i know me and my partner will be doin accessory shit like back/traps or shoulders/some benchin/and arms....AND i know BIG IRBS will be down too...

i say IRONWORKS OR WORLD GYM because IRONWORKS are open early sunday to 12 and then 4 til 7 pm...depending on time, we could do it at WORLD GYM in gardendale which is closer to the interstate...

04-01-08, 8:54 am
Either works for me Curt. I would prefer Gardendale, since it is on the North side of town and I will be coming down from Huntsville.

BAMA Animals;

Curt (BEASTOFRAGE) asked me to relay this info, he doesnt have web access at work:

The first Bama ABC will take place on Sunday, May 11, 2008 in the Birmingham, AL area (Curt is working on setting the location, but it will likely be at one of the places listed above). Once we set the location we will set the time, but it will likely be sometime after 12.

Please RSVP for the event in this thread so that we can get a head count together.

So far we have:

1. BEASTOFRAGE
2. IRBS

Just add to this list.

More info to come, stay tuned,

Hey BAMA Animals, I am from TN, yet stationed in Korea. I will be home on leave in April-May. I will also be in the Atlanta area, Duluth to be exact and will be staying at a hotel near Basspro there in Duluth, was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of a GOOD gym in that area. I know the hotel gym will be crap. Not sure if any of you are from that area, and I know I could Google it, but thought I would try to get some Animals to reccommend something before I go in blind.

As to not Hijack this thread shoot me a PM if you know of any gyms in that area. I will be there April 2-3.

Thanks everyone.

I'm new here. I'm live in Hartford, Al and train at BBS Home of South Alabama Barbell. I'm a powerlifter. Been doing the weight training on and off for about 25 yrs. Started when I was high school doing bodybuilding training and worked into powerlifting. Joined the Army in 1987, still trained but didn't do any competitions due to Army training and traveling. I'm retired and working as a Flight Training Academic Instructor here in Ft Rucker, Al. My health is kind of tore up so, I'm going back to my roots of training. I'm starting over with a bodybuilding training routine. I'll show up here and there asking for the young guys advice on new training routines or exercises. I'm one of the person's that's never to old to learn from the younger guys. Hope to start talking to ya'll soon. Here's my first question: Like I said I'm starting a old routine and need to know if it is too much training, here goes:
Mon- Light day, legs, back
Tues- light day, chest, tri's
Weds- shoulders, bi's
Thurs- Heavy day, legs, back
Friday- Heavy day, chest, tri's
This will be a 4 week training routine and then I'll change it up

Hey, Brothers,

I'm from the L.A. area, but will be in Birmingham starting the afternoon of the 21st and through the 25th for a family occasion, and don't want to lose my workout schedule. I'll be staying with friends in Trussville, and was wondering if there are any decent gyms out that way.

For all of that, I'm thinking of moving back there in a couple of years (I'm tired of Los Angeles), and would appreciate neighborhood advice.

Thanks!

I spent Friday morning at The Gym at Deerfoot in Trussville -- shoulders and triceps, mostly. Nice gym -- I'd have like a couple more Hammer Strength machines, but the free weights and smith machine and dumbbells fried me well enough.

Met one of the guys there -- Kevin G. -- who's talking about establishing a "hardcore" gym "with none of that pussy music" *grin*, and more serious iron. He's a good spotter, too.

Thanks for the tip, or I'd have wound up at the "Y".

Legs on Monday, and I'll try to get Back before I get on the plane Tuesday afternoon.

World Gym in Tuscaloosa would be awesome! It's a new gym they just made a little less than a year ago i think. Hardly ever packed, usually after 5 is when it might get packed with people coming from work and stuff.

I could do something in the Huntsville area soon, but with 2 meets coming up in the next 3 Months, I wont be traveling out of town unless it is to Squat out of a Monolift with my team...

sweet man. I'll tell you what, we'll work around your meets... we don't want to set you off your routine brother so let us know what time would work for you in the up and coming months.. I wouldn't mind doing one in Huntsville or even down in T-Town.. Doesn't matter to me...

What I'll do is hit up U-rep and since this will be our first meet maybe we can get the banners, tshirts, and all that good shit going.

You're not the only one that is lifting here in Alabama. I lift here at Ft Rucker, Al and out of my friends garage in Black, Alabama. This coming May I will be training Squats and Deadlifts with a good friend that has his on place to lift. He lives down in DeFuniak Springs, Fl, his name is Bobby Myers. So between lifting in Black, Al, DEfuniak Springs, Fl and Ft Rucker, Al training should be awsome. I used to train at Body By Scotty, Hartford, Al- Home of South Alabama Barbell which dismantled because of lack of participation of team members and one of the co founders of the team selling the gym. Now I am part of the Rock Solid Barbell out of Defuniak Springs, Fl. Also I will be directing a APA all Teenage meet at the end of May If anyone needs more info on this meet email me at mkssixpax@aol.com and I'll send you flyers and entry forms.

Curt is getting ready for a meet on the 17th down in Arab, AL as am I. (SPF Southeast Regionals I think is the name)

Theres never been much of a push to get anything going. We train at a few different places, some public, some private. Most of the guys I train with are Powerlifters (competitive). You BBers should be able to get something going though at one of the commercial gyms. They all suck though, haha.

Icon Performance, over in Cahaba Heights, near the Summits, though small, is a pretty complete gym, and the owner, Jeff Green, is both powerlifter and bb'er friendly. I trained there when i was in Birmingham in May, visiting family. I'd love to move back there -- great atmosphere, every kind of specialty bar you can imagine, a real Monolift, and all manner of bands, chains, cable handles, etc.

What's Up gentlemen and ladies, names Kelton, I'm from Wetumpka/Montgomery Area in AL. Looking to Join up in the AL ABC. I noticed aint none of you Beasts got up in awhile and a ABC meet is a MUST. My intentions, Gain Weight, Gain Power, Crush Gyms, Be a Boss. No Bullshit, No Crying, Just Real Shit. Anyways, BEAST can we set something up ASAP, I'm ready for it whenever, and I can probably get a couple of my lifting pals to join up, I train in various places, currently I'm setting up a Gym in my Shop. I sometimes train in my neighbors gym, he's a oldschool BB, and a local gym in town as well. Anyways, that's my RAP and I'm ready to setup, hoping to hear from you guys soon.

What's up fellas, my name is Isaac and I am a fellow Animal based out of Birmingham, AL
I am a personal trainer and bodybuilding coach and work at SportPlex Total Fitness in Birmingham.
I've been using Universal's products and following the methods since I was in high school and I have gotten far in the sport. I have spoken to management at my gym and they have agreed to let me host an ABC event for anybody who wants to come. The daily membership rate is normally 15$ but I can get you all in for 10$ or less each.
Was thinking of a Saturday in January or February to give people plenty of time to fit it in.

I think it would be a good time to meet people and to share our combined knowledge.
Also, if anybody has any questions regarding training, diet or anything bodybuilding or powerlifting related, PM me on here or email me at:

I want to make it a regular occurrence, something we do every month, twice a month or whatever. Let's get some dialogue going on the first ABC event.

With proper timing, I'd be more than happy to coordinate events as far as Birmingham, Alabama, too.

Anyone who is interested at all, please post in here and let's get the dialogue going so we can get the party started!
