Come on utah animals, IF anyone knows of a basement gym or just some place where you can get shit done without being bothered lets hit it up, from the sounds of it somewhere around salt lake or a little north would be close for almost everyone so lets here it if you wanna get a session in and help each other push some limitations.

Orem is a good mid point and thats pretty close to leamington. Orems Gold it is unless anybody has any other suggestions

Alright Utah Animals,

I've read how we tried to get a ABC Session going and I dunno if we failed or not, regardless I think we should get one set up for Nov or Dec. I'm up here in No O-town, but if you fellas are serious about getting this shit going me and Brew will go anywhere we need to. You guys let me know which gym is best for us to meet in the middle. I was thinkin maybe Layton's Golds. But I am sick of hearing about all these sick sessions fellas are havin elsewhere, without us havin a session to tell about so lets get rollin on it.

Gotta support S on his holler for a Utah Animal sesh. I can only speak for myself, but as long as I have at least a weeks notice I am down, no matter what. Ogden to Salt Lake is no problem, hell I might even be willing to go down the the righteous "happy valley" if need be. he he. It's not very big, but of all the gym's I have trained at in Utah, Fat Albert's in Layton is a real place to, come and get it. I think it would be a great environment for Animals.

Come on Utah, lets stand up and be heard.

Hey brothers,

Just wanted to say Saturday's ABC Session was a success. I believe it was the first time us Utah Animals finally got an official session. A big thanks to Nick for gettin us into Fat Albert's for free. He nailed a sick chest/bi session! He's an awesome guy fellas, definitely one you wanna cross paths with. Trains right, eats right, has a great attitude and awesome potential. So thanks Big Nick. Lookin forward to our next meeting. As for Woody and myself, we had a killer arm session and can still feel it this morning. To all the Utah Animals who missed out, we will try and hold another meeting in January, so keep some days clear. If ya have any questions shoot me a PM and I'll get ya filled in.

+1 to a great session. I'm not discouraged in the slightest that we did not have as big as numbers show up as the east coast boys. The three of us were getting some serious work done. Realizing that the Utah Animals are small in numbers in comparison to other chapters, any other Utahn's lurking on here really should consider coming out. The friendliness and hard working ethics of Shaun and Woody left me with a big smile on my face and a great sense of accomplishment!

Woody, plain and simple is a nose to the grindstone, extremely hard working fool! You watch him push himself the edge and the guy just digs deeper and deeper. Then there's Shaun, a fuckin beast of a dude who pushes you past your limits. Besides, one look at the guns on this dude and you for sure have something to shoot for. HaHa Very great first session with the Utah ABC chapter.

oh man it sounds like you guys had an awesome time training together! sorry i wasn't able to make it, my car broke down when i was coming home from draper friday night. It sounds like all went well though. Good luck to you guys, hope you can get another session together and post some pics up!

01-12-09, 6:58 pm
bumpin this thread in hopes that there are some more Animal bro's somewhere in righteous ol' utah. i know the guys who were at the first ABC session will be down for another soon, but i am hoping to recruit some more people.

naturalguy, and suggestions on how to build the ABC here in utah? i have made acquaintance's with some pretty serious guys in the gym i work at during the evening's, i wasn't sure if i should tell them about it without them first knowing about Animal.

step up utah.

N. Motta
04-02-09, 1:34 am
What's next is for us to keep checkin here in the FORVM so we can pin down a day to have a session. Most everybody that has posted in here with big talk has flaked out or pulled a no show. I am more than down to have a session, anywhere, anytime. If some hardcore training appeals to you guys, then I would hope you would have the same time of enthusiasm. Let's start hearing some ideas on when and where to have a session fella's. I am on the boards here every day, so I would love to do anything I can to help this go down.

How about Utah County? My schedule is a beast but i'll have days free the 16th thru 18th. Thats the soonest. I'll do what I can to make another. Camp Williams has a real bare bones gym but it should have all we need for a sick session and I can probably get a few heads without a problem.

Hey Big Nick is that you up there on the threads! how's it goin big fella. i've been talkin with Elem Entree and we're trying to get a session set up. I know you out of all will get this bitch finalized! Myself, Brewha, and his brother are down for a session. We too have a dicked up schedule but we'll try and get it all straightened out for a sick session. Let me know what you guys got in mind as of Location and Times/Dates and I'll get the Greath Northeners in line.

Finally you jumped in here! Where the hell ya been?

Yea Elm has suggested going down to Utah county for a session on the 18th, a Saturday. It's a distance for me, but I have been wanting to get something together for so long I will drive down there. You guys better show up, we had a great workout last time.

For the Gym I'm thinking of working out on Camp Williams. It's real bare bones but good enough for a good chest and back day. I was thinking of rolling a super set session chest and back. Everyone down with that?

N. Motta
04-04-09, 11:46 am
Well then let's lock down the location, down at Elm's house. Saturday the 18th. Now all we have to do is work out a time.

I'm looking forward to training in your gym Double E. With my new split, back falls on Saturday, so I will be looking to torture my lats and traps.

Hoping all/most of us have some Animal tee's to don, snap some pics to post on the FORVM. It would be nice to show that there are some legit Animals in Utah.

Utah Animals- We are finalizing the details of an Animal Barbell Club session scheduled for the 18th of April (Saturday).

The location is down in Utah Valley, at Camp Williams. Elem Entree has been kind enough to volunteer his home field for us to come battle the iron. Most of us have mentioned that an afternoon session would be ideal for respective schedules. More details will follow soon, especially the exact locating of the gym, driving directions and the exact time we will be meeting. Keep checking the thread.

Right on! I don't have an Animal tee but I'm sure I could find a black magic marker and a blank tee somewhere! HAHA I'm looking forward to this. I need to try and make the time an early afternoon thing. I'm thinking of starting around 11-11:30am. I know thats a little earlier than we were wanting but it would work out best for me. What do you guys say? I'm also hoping for a back and chest super set day.

N. Motta
04-05-09, 7:28 pm
Right on EE. Let's give it a couple days, wait for the others to chime in on what time would work best for them. Keep in mind all of us are driving AT LEAST an hour one way to make it down to your place. I forgot to ask, how does everyone feel about the location?

Your Saturday split sounds sick. I will be blasting back that day too.

PS: EE, could you throw up the address or directions to the gym?

Hey Northern Utah Animals,

Since we're all travelin south, what would we say to a car pool haha. Meet up somewhere in L-town or Ogden and hop in with everyone and head down to EEs. I know that if your plannin on attending you need to PM EE with your name so he can put you on his guest list at the guard post. We're goin to a place that houses true men so be prepared to bust ass. If your interested in hopping a car pool let me know. Saturday, the 18th, and EE wants a kick off at 1130ish. Any questions you can hit myself, or big Nick (iwontquit) and EE up since this is their baby. Lookin forward to makin the iron sing with everyone!

Brothers,

Alright, all that will be needed is an ID card for each driver coming onto camp. You may be subject to a random check of all ID so bring one with you just in case. I wish we could have made the show time a little later in the day but we can't. I am looking forward to getting together with some real Animals. I'm just getting back into the game after an injury so, like always, I look for the most motivated pushers of steel to hit it with. I percieve this as a Brotherhood so I expect that kind of love to be shown for one another on Saturday. I expect us all to give our best and push our limits with out injuries. Again, I am truly looking forward to meeting with you all and I am greatful to you for making the trip all the way down here. I recomend the carpool since it should make it easier for everyone to get onto Camp and it will save everyone a little coin. PM me and I will get you my cell number so we can have commo once you are on your way.

Just wanted to give a huge thanks to EE for gettin us on base to hit a sick bis/delts session! it was an amazing feeling driving on base. everyone you passed was in colors and you had a strong sense of pride and gratitude. these men sacrifice so much so you and me can hit a lift, go to work/school. it definitely was all the fuel you needed. EE is 230 lbs of fury. this dude is nothin but guts and nuts! he trained his ass off! you shoulda seen the sweat he worked up...it was incredible. Big E Smitty showed his sick physique had power behind it! this kid pushes everyone past their limits, and you should see the beef on this fella. Brewha, my TOC, was nothing short of amazing. So close to that 200 lb mark, he went round for round with us. And the drop set he knocked out on preachers was probably the feat of the day...his bi's looked like they were on the verge of exploding. he couldn't hold up his cell phone to his ear they were so swoll! just like last time though, i pulled the boner of the day and forgot a camera so you guys could see how we throw down in UT. to all the fellow UT animals who couldn't make it...another ABC meeting will soon be in the works and we expect ya there! again, thanks to EE, ESmitty, and Brewha....it was a hell of a session.

Brothers, I want to thank you all for coming out. Like the big S said "it was a hell of a session"! These guys can throw down and they had me hungry for the steel the whole time. You get one look at these guys and you know they are all business. Just a great bunch of motivated guys. I can't thank you all enough for making it out. I'm looking forward to the next session and seeing how far we can go. Just an FYI I started a tribe for us it's the Animal Utah Chapter of the ABC! You can see it on my profile under my tribes. Hook it up Brothers! And to the Sjmann, ESmitty, and Brewha you are sick Brothers! Just a sick bunch of Animals! Ha Ha! Thanks again for coming out!

Yeah us Utah Animals are a little behind the pack when it comes to ABCs. So it was good to see a little appreciation for our small turn out, bi-annual meeting haha. Wish it were more, but life happens. Anyways no pics from our session, as yours truly was a dumb ass and left his phone sittin on his dresser. Hopefully we can get a summer gathering and you can bet we'll have pics....show you guys how the UT holds down.

We have a pretty sick little crew that wrecks it every afternoon. The best part is at 245, I'm the smallest and weakest one of the five of us. You need to meet Sia, my "Uce." Islander who is 'down to 290' in weight. This guy is the definition of bringin' the ruckus. Haha. Throw some Animal's into the mix, could be a powder keg.

Shit son where've you been??? I thought you'd fallen off the map after the last ABC. You know I'm always down to sling some iron with Big Nick at his stomping grounds! Down to 290!?!?! Hell sounds like a cat that will light a fire under my ass! Let me know when your thinkin' and I'll start spreadin the word. I'm usually biting the steel at 1500 so that sounds like we can make it work easier than normal. Till then brother...fire away!

Shaun, didn't you get the PM I sent you shortly after your Utah County ABC?

Yea man, Fat Al's has been bumpin lately. There is a crew of 5 legit workers I train with every day. Honestly, with the camaraderie and the intensity we all bring, it's like a small ABC session every day.

You would love it. I would love to get you down here and train with the two twins from South Africa, they both compete in the heavyweight BB competitions and could bang with Big Shaun!!

Well the boy's and I at Fat's usually start at about 2:30-2:45. If it could work with Newbreed's schedule, I know we would have some serious energy and some serious training going on. A solid 8-10 lifters would be easy at this time of day.

I know this may sound somewhat materialistic, but I'm hoping everyone can rep a Universal/Animal tee at the ABC event. I will have 3-4 extra's if anyone cannot get ahold of one.

Could help give our area some recognition, which would further fuel my fire.

Thats a big part of it man. Everyone should be rocking an Animal T.

N. Motta
06-29-09, 4:24 pm
Good to know treetrunk. Thanks. I will have a hard time providing everyone there with shirts though. The regular crew I train with love the Animal philosophy, but probably won't justify buying a shirt just for a session.

I feel that this session may be a real legit one. Maybe we could get a banner sent out, collect some pics and sigs with it.

Yesterday I ran the idea by the gang I train with. A couple of them were not too enthused. Today I printed out some things I found in the FAQ area of the ABC section.

Hopefully, the flyer will give them a better idea of what it is all about, as I don't think my description came across very well.

After I assess who is onboard and who is not, I will post a little bit more solid list of attendee's.

N. Motta
07-01-09, 7:20 pm
Update guys

The owner of Fat Albert's expressed some concern regarding the ABC sesh. As Shaun could attest, Fat's is pretty small. It is a true hardcore lifter's haven, yet small and compact. I would venture to say ~1500 square feet. Her concern is that if our group is TOO large, we may step on the toes of her regular members, who have been loyal to the gym for 20+ years.

I don't mean to complicate things, but I have great respect for Mary and her gym. I will not show disrespect for her house or her regulars by bringing in a whole football team to do work. As the date nears, it would be very nice if all that have expressed interest could confirm their attendance. If we get over 15 people total, I am going to suggest an alternative location.

Thoughts/feelings?

Yeah man I was wondering how we were gonna pack the lot of us into Fat's! But Nick is right...this place is a hardcore, no bullshit, sweat shop! It is an unreal place to train, and the place consists of "family". Mary is an unbelievable woman and she has an unbelievable gym! And I don't wanna be imposing on the regular members myself...So I am totally in favor of your idea Big Nick. If we can get a no bullshit assessment of who's gonna be there we can determine whether Fat's will hold us. If we do become a crowd, I've got a friend who's wife works a Gold's in O-Town at the Junction. I'm sure we'll be able to throw down there if need be. Let myself or Nick know of a confirmed attendance and he and I will work to accomodate. Much respect Big Nick...it's great that you treat Fat's the way it deserves!

And as far as shirts go, most ABC's here everyone has a different one but I have to admit we once did one where Animal gave everyone a red shirt to match and it was awesome. I say where whatever has ANIMAL on it. If you wanna match let's go yellow. Any opinions?

And as far as the Fat Alberts owner is concerned, she should be honored for Animal to have a gathering even though pro competitors like Ox and such won't be there, the fact that it was chosen by Animal is saying that the gym is a great hardcore gym to train at. That's the ultimate compliment. Some gyms up here that are hardcore beg for gatherings.

I'm not gonna toot the horn and say it's the most hardcore in the state. But the thing is, privately owned and operated gyms, they are nearly non existent in Utah. The Gold's around here are fine and dandy, but if you want a no nonsense gym full or guys who show up to work and not flap there gums or drool over women, Fat's is the place.

Here's something funny. The supplement shop inside of Gold's, had Branch Warren come to the gym to sign some autographs and glad hand before he guest posed at an NPC event the next day. Obviously a guy who is at the top of the food chain is not going to miss his workouts when he travels. Did he train at Gold's, where he already was for the whole day? No. He came over to the little hole in the wall, Fat Alberts, and wrecked the weights.

For you East coast guys, it will not be anything you have not seen before, nor will it seem that hardcore. But for us guys out here, this place is an endangered species. Corporate or franchise gyms rule the game. Soccer mom's run the gym scene out here hahaha.

Yo guys! Just wanted to let you know that thanks to Treetrunk and Corporate, I have some pretty sweet swag to hand out after the ABC session. I don't want to give away the surprise, but when I opened the box I was like, "Ooooohhhh, keeeewwwwlllll." Hahaha

Don't know if I mentioned this before, but she has asked for a $10- fee from each of the visitors. A little steep I know, especially these days. But it is, what it is. Anybody that can't cover that, let me know. I will donate some change from my big coin jar ha ha.

Most people in Utah have no idea what Animal is. Seeing her side of it, what does she care if Animal fans, Muscle Tech fans, BSN fans or whatever wants to train in her gym? She has a business to run.

I was not enthused to tell you guys. But again, if you guys can't cover the fee, I will be willing to cover it for you, just so we have a good ABC.

Fella's, touched base with the owner of Fat Albert's today. We are still on schedule to train.

Don't know if I mentioned this before, but she has asked for a $10- fee from each of the visitors. A little steep I know, especially these days. But it is, what it is. Anybody that can't cover that, let me know. I will donate some change from my big coin jar ha ha.


I was not enthused to tell you guys. But again, if you guys can't cover the fee, I will be willing to cover it for you, just so we have a good ABC.

Thats solid dedication brother, and much appreciated. Your kindness and generosity will not be overlooked.

Okay guys, try and plan your week accordingly.

Granted Newbreed and Blckdragun get in on schedule, I think it would be fun to meet at the gym a little early and meet each other. ~2:00, with the kickoff at ~2:30. We can actually put some names to the faces/screen names. We can wait for everybody to show up, since I am the only one that can get us inside (pinpad outside). Also, to help everybody's preworkout game, Corporate and Treetrunk sent us some assorted Animal/Universal supplements to get us jacked up for the session.

Shifting gears-

I know those of us here in the Forum know that it is generally considered an honor for an Animal ABC session to go down at an owners gym. But as said earlier, Animal, especially an ABC is an unknown thing out here in Utah. I think we have a responsibility to be good representatives. Not only do we have an obligation to show up and destroy the weights, but we have an obligation to show good etiquette. Don't worry about yelling and making some noise. Two pillars are, clean up after yourself/rack your weights and be courteous to the other members you see in the gym. Doing so could really be good for Animal.

We have an opportunity on Thursday to put the Animal name in a good light, gain some more members and spread the word for the best company (FAMILY) in the game.

It's official. Utah has got some legit Animals. Not to forget the awesome support we got from our brothers and sisters from the East.

We had, what I would consider, Utah's first official ABC session. Smaller and equally as productive meetings have happened in the past, but were not documented. Nine people in attendance threw down today at Fat Albert's Gym. The guy's and gal's that showed up were some of the nicest, most down to earth, hardest training group I have ever seen at one time, in a gym here in Utah.

A huge sincere thank you goes out to my new friends from New Jersey, Newbreed and Blckdragun for not only joining us and training their balls off, but for helping put some wind in the sails of the Utah ABC. They really gave me some good tips and insight as to how we can grow the Utah Chapter.

Sage and Monika came down from Ogden and really brought some excitement. Sage yanked some dumb bell rows with the 150's. A feat usually reserved for guys that out weigh him by +30 pounds. The dude is a dynamo! Thanks for coming guys.

Then there are the knuckle heads from Morgan Utah. Shaun and John. What they add in humor and good nature, they surpass with brutal work ethic. Shaun looks like a true freak and he mentioned he may be doing a show in October. Sorry to blow up your spot bro, but you need to do that, your a beast. Glad you guys came, wouldn't have been the same without you.

My buddy Jan always motivates me to challenge myself. He has got some freakish strength himself and is going to have an awesome run in competitive bodybuilding. We teamed up for a great chest session.

Wow, after reading all this I really feel like a bag of gas. Thank you again to everyone the showed up. Big thank you to Fat Albert's Gym for allowing this event to go down.

I am involved in Civil air patrol with my kids so that is how I get on, Sage is a veteran, Thought sponsoring was the way to go. How long ago did you do that? also it might depend on which gate you go to.

N. Motta
11-09-09, 12:28 pm
The last time it happened, I was up there for a job fair. Around July of last year. I had set up a sponsor who worked for a private contractor on base, and I still waited over 90 minutes in the visitor center to get in.

IF we did have the ABC event on base, does each person have to obtain there own sponsor? Or could someone like Sage sponsor a whole lot of us?

I see myself getting frustrated really fast if we actually line something up, coordinate all the attending members, just to get our chain jerked by the guards at the gate.

I have the same feeling. I would like to meet up with you, Monika or Sage and ask if you can post up some flyers on base. I have a few of them made, and granted you get permission, I think it would be a great idea to throw up some info on the Forvm and the ABC.

My schedule is pretty set for about the next six weeks 'til I leave again; I work from 0300-1700 usually, and at least for right now, I have weekends off, so I'm available either in the evening, or on the weekends. Don't really care where it happens, I was training at Fat Alberts for a couple weeks until I went TDY, then I found out I'm leaving again soon, so I figured there wasn't much point in re-uping for the short period that I have left. I did enjoy the gym though, so I would have no qualms with the ABC taking place there.

Saturday November 28th will be the day for the next Utah ABC.

Time pending. Though I estimate that ~3:00 PM might work for most of us.
