State Fair grounds has plenty of Space to GO BIG! Build It...They will come. Plenty of Colleges around to draw a young crowd. Then you have guys like me in their 40's and in the best shape ever. MMA event would be Phnomenal, do'nt you think?

Don't know if this thread is still alive or not. Saw the last post was in July? You guys still trying to get a chapter together up here? I just moved back to Redmond, OR. Working in Bend, OR and I'm actually headed out today to check out some gyms. Anyways, if anyone is going to schedule a lift, let me know so that I can get the day off from work.

Hellreaver - - Ever find a gym ? Got any dudes you workout with or anyone at the gym you see would enjoy an ABC?

Hellreaver
05-13-09, 1:27 pm
Hey treetrunk, nice to see someone finally replied on this thread. I thought that perhaps everyone moved out of Oregon and I was the only one left! Well I did find a decent gym up here in Redmond, but I am in the process of moving to Bend (about 14 miles away) so I will be finding a new gym. Once I get settles there I'll let you know what gym I hook up with. Most likely it will be a 24 hour gym, as I work night shifts and I like to work out after work. I will def keep in touch.

C.Coronato
05-13-09, 1:47 pm
Sounds good brother. You can also seek out some dudes in whatever gym you hang your hat, introduce them to the site, and make some new Animals. You dont necessarily have to have an ABC of guys only from here.

Hellreaver
05-13-09, 8:14 pm
Yeah, of course. I will see who I run into. Don't see many people working out at 3am though.

Hey guys were are trying to push the ABC movement even further. Coordinators : Please insert your ABC chapter into your signature, quote this thread and add it just as it is.

Anyone else in the chapter is more than welcome to add this as well to help further promote the movement. PM me if you have any questions. Thanks fellas.

No posts in here since June? Fellas I just moved here to OR from MI. Technically it's a temporary move as I am deploying to Iraq in just under a month but I am stoked about my return here from the deployment and highly anticipate that I will be staying here. Sorry I can not contribute much this year due to deployment but I was side by side with Rcrott1 when he got the Detroit ABC off the ground and am definately fired up to be a part of any and all OR ABC(s) that start.

I am and will most likely stay in the Roseburg/Winchester/Eugene region. Anyone close to there? I'm currently living out of the Charlie Company 1-186th INF Armory and lifting in the weightroom here.

Hey R.Bearse, good to see some life on this thread. How's the lifting room in there? Can't imagine it's as nice as a real gym, but some of the posts I've been to have decent gyms. When is your deployment? Who you going with? MOS? Are you guard, reserve, active? One of these days maybe I can skip up there and lift with ya.

So all in all it actually isn't that bad. lol

I'm on a bird to Camp shelby Mississippi on the 18th then from there I'm not sure of my time table but they are saying it shouldn't be more than a month. I'm going with Charlie Company 1-186 INF. I am 11B, Infantry. National Guard. I'm here in the armory 24/7, sleepin on a cot, lol. Shoot me a PM if ur thinkin of coming. I'm sure the guys here wouldn't mind.

What's goin on, Oregon Animals. I only recently became a member of the forum, but I've been coming to animalpak.com for a longass time. What's goin on with this chapter? I live in the Eugene area, and go to gym generally at like 2:30AM, but am willing to switch it up every now and again (anyone else in this area who works out late, hit me

I always go to Hood River for Christmas. My in-laws live there.
If anyone wants to ever workout at a good gym in Hood River, "BIG GYM" is a great place to train.

$10 drop in fee, or if you know a current member of the gym and they walk in with you, its only $5.
They play some good classic rock in the gym really LOUD too.

I'm going to be doing some heavy squats at "BIG GYM" next Saturday 12/26, if anyone is around! I'm hoping more of the Oregon Animals pickup on this thread...there are alot of guys that lift iron in that state.

I fly jets for a livin so Im gone 4 days a week and somtime off 10. Im on a tight budget so I am going to keep lookin for old school iron.

Popped my head into Loprinzi's today while the wife and I were running errands in the city. I have heard of the legend of this place while training at Downings Gym here in Corvallis it lives up to its rep. Open, in the same location, since 1948, Loprinzi's was one of the first gyms in the country to get a full set of Nautilus equipment and they still have GLOBE DUMBELLS! I spoke with Bob, the current owner/manager and he said he would be happy to have us. We would have to pay the $8 fee, but its worth it. I told him June/July. Hell, it could be earlier.

I hope that since this is IN Portland we can get some of our Washington brethren to come down. This place is freaking classic. This should not be missed.

I am working out there right now and the owner said he would be down to host another one here.

I text Ben Seath and BIG BEN to see if the Aberdeen boys would want to do a road trip that weekend, but no response.
My sister in law can get a great rate at the Best Western Hood River Inn that she works at. Almost $40 a night for a ELITE hotel and killer restaurant/bar.

TMunnel from the Universal USA Forum has already said that he would make the trip from Ellensburg, WA to Hood River for this possible ABC. Any other takers?

Let me know. Gotta finish up my workout here...

Stopped in here and they said they would love to have us. I want to just get some talk going. I was thinking August 27th or September 3rd, both Saturdays.

I'm going to make a few flyers and post them here in Corvallis as well as at Giants, see who we can get.

We fly out to Quebec on 8/31 thats why for a contest I'm doing in Gatineau.

Yo,

My family and I are headed down to Oregon today. Staying at a friend's house in Albany.
Pretty sure I'm going to get an early AM workout tomorrow at 5am if your interested at this gym:

Fitness Experience, Inc.
1715 Hill Street SE, Albany, OR 97322
(541) 917-3488   (541) 917-3888 (Fax) ‎

I need to blaze through the workout and leave at 5:45am thats why because we are leaving Albany by 6:45am so that we can get to Crater Lake early.

I will PM my cell to you.

Things in OR are slow bro. I've been away from the site for awhile now, but I would be happy to train with you if I ever have something planned for the Portland area. I live in Corvallis.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and check out the Seattle Animals, Grant Higa runs a solid club and its worth heading up there for a day to train with them.

Whats it take to get something up and runnin? Not tryin to be a pain in the ass but what does it take to get a chapter up and running? I do thank Universal/Animal as they were the first supps i took and feel i owe what lil size i have to them. Id love to see some support coming from oregon for you all. If you have the time or know who i should reach out to so i can see if i can make it happen that would be great. Thank you,Kurt

Now I have sifted through the thread. No one has posted forever, and it looks like Higa has been the main support for this chapter. I'm working out at 1826 Elite Fitness in Kelso, WA right now, it's a small gym not really tailored to the hardcore (except for the giant poster of big Lou and myself getting odd looks for screaming through deadlifts) but there isn't much else. I'm motivated to start helping you guys get some shit organized in the Portland area (I'm only 30 miles North as it stands), I'll be moving in the next month or so and won't have a gym at all, but I got a barn and started collecting my own gear. We've got one of the biggest states around, and after playing football all over, I'd say we have enough hay-tossers to make this thing shine. Higa, next time you come down I'll give my all to at least come out and hand you a seltzer. I'm not going to write a novel, so I'll just keep it at I got some extra time and I'll help out anyway I can. Anybody need a spot, hit me up.
