I noticed Kentucky has nobody speaking up and taking the initiative to get an ABC Chapter in our great Bluegrass state. I have plenty of friends, family, etc who would love to join and I am sure there are many many more who would do so.

I want to be the one to step forward and tread a new path for my boys in KY. I want to ask Universal Rep, G Diesel, or whoever it is to let ME, BAMBAM92 ( Joshua T. White ) be te one to have the honor and privilege to start it. ANIMAL has made a huge impact on my life. Let me help ANIMAL grow as well...

Select a gym, time, date, and have 5-6 new members join and post in this thread and you will have my support.... You have to "EARN" the ABC leader role by displaying leadership qualities. Get the session rolling by staring off with new members. If I can help out along the way shoot me a PM.

Good luck bro!

Ok ...

Start off by getting your training partners and friends to sign on the forum and start posting. Once the number is up we can start promoting the session and have a good turnout.

Search out some local Kentucky Animals!

Hell yeah Fury. I would love to show you how we rep it in KY. I am def. also in for the Jan 5th session in Colombus. I am also trying to get my girl to come with me too.

Just let me know when would be good for you. Thats my main problem now is to just try and figure it out when the best time would be for ALL who are going to attend. I might try to have it on the 12th (the next saturday...maybe later?) Again it WILL be b4 the Arnold so again any help much appreciated and keep in touch bro

I know for those down there towards Bowling Green and what not... das a bit of a drive, but I reckon any of ya'll in Louisville or North Kentucky outside of Cincy would give half a thought. Check our Indiana thread if you're interested.

You know it man- id love to come down sometime. Im an OSU student, so it would have to be a weekend. Saturdays are the best. Im starting a new job once winter break is over so give me a week or two to figure out a schedule then we can get something rolling. Id be glad to help set a date and get the hype going. A thought might be to set it later in Jan- not the 12th- just so there is enough time to get a good number of people there. Maybe the last weekend in Jan? or the first in Feb? Ill def keep in touch man, we'll get something good together. Im sure BAM can help too, hes been helping me out alot

Hey just to help you out a little bambam, if you want to make this "official" then you have to set the date and keep a head count regularly. Sounds like you got about 5, so that would be plenty to make it official, as long as you keep the numbers growing. There is a thread in the board room, for the coordinators, about official vs unofficial, so im just giving you a heads up. You can still have a gathering, but an official event needs to draw a lot of attention with a good amount people- Id say at least 10. And now that I think of it, you should probably PM G or Jdawg about being appointed coordinator of KY so you can request the care package and shirts post event, if you get everything set up in time. Good luck with everything and PM me with any questions.

BamBam
12-26-07, 9:16 pm
Thanks man...I am going to go ahead and set my date for February 9th. Thats when I am wanting to have OUR ABC meet. That would be the 2nd saturday in February. I hope you all can attend and I have PM G-Diesel for some extra help and letting him know I want to be the coordinator, I got the date set up, numbers r growing, etc.

Thanks again fellas and lets get these numbers up!!!

Hey fellas,

I was sitting around thinking about where we might eat after we have our session here? My town has some good eats, nothing spectacular but good none the less. If anyone has any ideas or wants to know what my town has (probably where we are going to have it unless things change within the next few days) lemme know!

Get a gym picked out and shoot for a date and time... post the event info in "this" thread.

Once the date, time and gym are posted it will be well on the way to getting off. Shoot me a PM like I said before and Ill get you some info that you can use and share someday with others.

Just a heads up to all the folks going to the Arnold this year.

It is official. On Saturday, March 1, 2008 after The Cage shuts down and the expo closes, we'll be holding the 1st Annual Arnold Weekend ABC in association with the Columbus chapter of the Animal Barbell Club. We'll have the gym after hours, open exclusively for us and our event. Training first with a Q & A to follow.

Location: World Gym/Metro Fitness
9 E Long St, Columbus OH

Time: 8pm

Cost: Free to all Forvm/ABC members. Let em know at the front desk that you represent Animal by wearing your favorite Animal t-shirt and you're good to go.

Here is the link

Sorry to tell you guys but the Kentucky ABC Session is being postponed for a few reasons..

1.) The gym I want to hold our session at hasn't returned my phone calls for the past week and I can't find the owner...never around when i go out there...hmm..?

2.) I am going to be out of town on Saturday...My aunt's boyfriend is going to propose finally so my family and I are going down to Lexington to surprise her

3.) The people I called "friends" and ANIMALS are not such...I have a few guys who I will get together with and sling the Iron around when the time comes when we have our meet. I plan on doing it 2 weeks from now...letting everyone have time to get one here and posting their intention to come..I plan on about 10...and letting them get their shit together.

I will post again when the details are finalized. Texas Roadhouse still wants to host us and feed our mighty stomachs...and dont worry...those of you on diets will be catered to! I already asked!!! =)

KENTUCKY WILL DO IT BIGG!!!

Well.... I am working on some BIIGGGGG things for the KY ABC...I mean HUGE! haha. A little secret though...nobody will want to miss this wherever we decide to have it ;). It will blow most all the other ABC's out of the water!!!

No worries, we will def. have it in time for you to make it! Probably looking at July. Probably Lexington is the best bet. Kind of a middle ground (as you and I have discussed Renegade)

Maybe McDiesel would be down for meeting up when we do R.R. ??!!

Well, myself and RenegadeRows are going to meet up sometime this summer and lift (besides the ABC I am going to hold) and just lift, chill, and eat! I have family in Lexington so we can go there and chill, spit game, watch TV, relax, etc when we get done lifting. But, we r still hashing out a date to do so, but it will be more toward a weekend if I had to guess.....

Well, this will actually be the first for the Bluegrass...the guy who owned the gym I was going to use the first time got shut down cuz he owed $24,000 dollars in backed taxes, and was 15 months late on his water and electric bills...

But yes I am planning a HUGE ABC for the good ole' Bluegrass state! I talked to my boys in Colombus and they said they would support me since I am supporting them, and I have about 8 people here in Ashland where I live who are going to the ABC, and now I have Renegade and Mikkey D...so I would assume they will bring people, as well as others who read this thread, and any of the BIG ANIMALS I can get to come down (I have talked to G' and HOUSE about coming to our event..). SO, things r happening, wheels turning, and big things gonna happen very very soon...

Well, my boy Renegade wanted me to post some updates, and I in fact have some...

The new location for the KY ABC is going to be Lexington KY...its in the middle of the state, BIG city for BIG guys (and gals lol), and plenty of eating options. I spoke with 2 gyms down there about having our ABC there and they bost said it was cool and an "honor" to have us want to choose them for the event.

1.) Urban Active Fitness- old Gold's Gym that was bought out
2.) Lexington Athletic Center

I will find and post pics of both places and let my brothers and sisters in here decide which one you would like to choose. This is a democracy and a "commonwealth" state so we'll all help run this show. I will just hold the title as Coordinator! ;)

The ABC will take place, more than likely, the weekend after the 4th of July. Let everyone enjoy the festivities, food, and fun, and then get back to the grind with our ABC. We will have an official date and time within the next few weeks.

Well, the date is kind of up in the air...for a good reason...

Our lis of special guests, although not entirely sure if they will come (if not we will stick sling some major iron), are as follows...all have been asked by me on the FORVM to come down and I am hopeful and very optimistic on getting them all down here. Shit, if corporate won't send em' down...I will pay for them to fly down! I want this KY ABC to be huge...it is my job as a coordinator to ensure that!!!! So, here it is...

OX
HOUSE
G-Diesel (maybe...I got mad respect for this guy and if you haven't met him..well, u r missing something!)

So, I am awaiting on the HOUSE to get back with me when his schedule is free to come down and train. He is in contest prep for the Europa which comes first in my book and his too, so hopefully we can find a date that will work for us and it will still be in the late June, early Jan. time frame so that hasn't changed. And yes, the Lexington Athletic Center has given us the OK to lift there. I will post pics shortly...

OX
HOUSE
G-Diesel (maybe...I got mad respect for this guy and if you haven't met him..well, u r missing something!)

So, I am awaiting on the HOUSE to get back with me when his schedule is free to come down and train. He is in contest prep for the Europa which comes first in my book and his too, so hopefully we can find a date that will work for us and it will still be in the late June, early Jan. time frame so that hasn't changed. And yes, the Lexington Athletic Center has given us the OK to lift there. I will post pics shortly...

IN IRON,

I asked on your Journey if you would like to come down to our ABC and you had the CT and MA ones to go to (think those were the two)...I thought since u knew it was in july, and said u were going to those two, then they were in July...if not...then my bad, my bad. Hell, I don't even need to take a head count of people who want you to come down...I do, and thats all that matters haha! I know my boy McDiesel and RenegadeRows would love to sling Iron with ya...plus I can introduce you to some southern gals..hehe

We will just drag the weights outside if it is a nice day (or hell even if it rains) and pump some Iron and let the chickies come to us haha. But yeah dude, I hope those guys can all come down. I told you all I wanted to make our ABC, the first, a HUGE ONE!!!

Anything you guys have for advice, wanna see, etc...lemme know!

Also, would you guys be down for getting some supps or shirts cheaper for this ABC? Just something the big dogs r throwing around for ABC's.

I think House would come down....I havent heard back yet from those guys though....Hmmm? I believe Enforcer and OX would be our best bets...but HOUSE lives "close" to me so hopefully he can just drive down with me and chill and the head home after or something. It is creeping up on us guys....can you smell it?

RenegadeRows
05-24-08, 10:04 am

Shit, tell me about it. Makes it easy to stick to it when the guys will rip ya a new asshole for missing a workout. It takes weeks to live itdown. That is what it was like with the guys I hung with in PA. So far, I only got cardio partners. But since cardio sucks, I can't bitch.

Turns out my Y isn't that bad. I've just been goin at the wrong time. It's small as hell, but it's got all the building blocks i need to keep makin progress. It's been a while since I've hit legs hard and I have to wait for the weekend to annihilate them. Still moving some stuff in. Saturday is gonna be a bad day for driving home...

i am finishing up my masters, but am constantly checking out other sources of ways to learn

my current maxes are 405 for squat, 335 for bench, and 440 for deadlift. i weigh 205 and i am hoping to get up to 220 by the end of the summer. i want to gain good weight, not lazy slobby fat.

finish'n up school and looking for a job has let me focus more and more on training myself, bettering my pr's. i am strong as i have ever been now and i'm not taking any steps back. i want to get connected to other ky animals

Anytime you wanna sling Iron or try and get an ABC together...help me get the word out. I am trying, but it is hard to get an ABC together when only a small amount of people show interest.

Hey BB did the KY ABC event go? I'm in Iraqi right now, but I would have been there for sure. Lexington and Central Kentucky is a bit of a drive from Hopkinsville (3-4 hours), and once I'm out of the military, I won't be able to go to the Ft. Campbell ABC. It's gonna suck not having one around, kinda wishin' there was a Kentucky (Western) chapter of the ABC. I'd be willing to get one started, and I already have some guys back home that I lifted with on mid-tour leave that would be down.

The Watchmen have already stickied a Western Kentucky ABC thread. I'm looking forward to getting everything started. Would love to work with the Kentucky chapter on getting a huge event going, maybe around the time of the Arnold to get pumped up for the event. E-town would probably be a good place to have it since its about equal driving distance for both chapters. I'd be down to plan an event with ya like that if you wanted.

Awesome work here guys! I called the Fitness Factory and their hours on Saturdays are 11-5, and I should be good with that. I've got a few other members in my chapter who are down to ride. I sent a PM to machineman, just for the hell of it to stir some interest! When we get a date set and a headcount, I'll contact the gym and get everything taken care of. And as for the PWO meal, I vote P.F. Chang's....that place is stupid delicious! Any other suggestions throw 'em out!!

They own a little Italian restuaraunt which is really cheap, really fucking good. And I have not seen them in about 5 or 6 years. I am willing to pile as many as we can fit into my car and drive up there. Since this is an epic ABC we mine as well make it an epic after meal. Lemme know what you guys think.

Hey, Y'all!

As some of you know, I moved to Kentucky from SoCal in November. Luckily, the week after I arrived, a new gym opened in Richmond that's a true Animal gym -- they already have an Animal banner hanging in the center of the gym!

http://poyntersironpit.com/

Poynter's Iron Pit has lots of iron, chains, bands, kettlebells, sleds, prowlers, yoke, and all sorts of attitude. I rought the owner, Steve Poynter, to the National ABC, and he didn't want to leave! You can also check 'em out on facebook:-- look up "Poynter's Iron Pit". I'm getting better training in there than I ever did at my "fitness center" in SoCal.

I'd like to set up an ABC there for the near future! I talked briefly about it with BamBam at the Cage, but we didn't get far with the discussion.

Any suggestions/preferences as to dates?

I'll confirm with Steve, but he said he'd be ecstatic to have an ABC there ANY weekend.

That'll be the 13th.

Just fair warning -- there are no showers, and only a few lockers. Lots of chalk, chains, bands, kettlebells, sleds, battle ropes, tires and sledgehammers, though. Also a cambered bar for squatting (with the long arm), a regular cambered squat bar, a dedicated deadlift bar and platform, with bar lifter, two power racks, two olympic benches, a couple of incline benches, a smith machine, a chain yoke for yoke walks. Even, if you're so inclined, a TRX suspension system for various bodyweight work.

Loud music, he doesn't mind if you drop dumbbells (just not on toes), and he has a record board for lifts in weight classes for both powerlifters and non-powerlifters.

So, right now, I'm seeing:

Big_Country87
Firedrake
Little Z- (maybe)
Fit Princess
ProjectPuck
Wingman

. . . I know there'll be a couple of the guys from the Pit regulars there -- there's usually a squad of powerlifters in on Saturday afternoons. I can probably expect a couple of facebook friends who come up to the Pit about once a month from Campbellsville, and I'll see if I can interest a couple of the other locals.

There's lots to eat nearby depending on budget, from Outback Steakhouse (real close) to Logan's Road House (about 4 miles -- one of the Pit members works there), to BBQ places and a bunch of fast food. What's everyone down for, so I can warn 'em? I probably won't be having a cheat day, but I can come along and chew when you do, or get a grilled chicken breast and salad (Kentucky Muscle's November 5th). I'm about 25 lbs. softer than I need to be so things start ramping up this weekend. At least it's a LOT better than last time, percentage wise. 14.5% vs. 19% to start last year. 250 right now, wanting to come in around 215-220 solid.

Sounds awesome... and if I'm going to be setting any records that day then I need to eat big after.
