I greatly appreciate your support G Diesel! It was a pleasure meeting you face to face in the Cage.

Animals-

Let us move forward to further develop the ABC. No more time and efforts will be wasted. I will, once again, develop a workout session for all interested Animals to gather and lift in a gym.

The only thing I ask is that you bring Respect and Intensity!

PM me if you have any questions. I will get you all details as soon as possible!

I plan on having the lifts rotate around IN, hitting the major area’s were I have seen a lot of interest from our fellow animals. The first lift will most likely be in Merrillville, IN. It is a straight shot down I 65 from Indy. I have a great gym in mind. We will defiantly have a lift in Indy as well!!! I hope for the first lift to be within 30 days. I will start a new thread with all details by the end of the week. We need to keep that thread alive and recruit as many Animals as possible. Great to have your support!!!

I have 3 buddies that are in as well and 2 in mind. Let’s get the lift to have 15 to 20 Animals to maximize the INTESITY!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel free to PM me with any questions.

For the two hour period the Animals of Indiana are in the Dungeon the Earth will stop. AnabolicMass and myself have had intense lifts for years..i look forward to the experience to unite Indiana and the Chicagoland area in one crazy iron movement. For headcount reasons- I have 6 Animals fully commited to being at the Dungeon.. I will encourage them to make posts.

G Diesel it was good meeting you at Arnold.

AnabolicMass02
03-10-08, 2:34 pm
Keep it coming!!! The more Animals we have will just make everyone’s workout more INTENSE. I want everyone to get fucking crazy in the gym; lift some iron like there is no tomorrow and represent Animal to its fullest potential.

Thanks. That’s a great idea. We are currently setting up an ABC for Merrillville. As I receive requests for different locations, I put them on a list. I will be sure to have an ABC in Fort Wayne. Round up some Animals and look out for when the IN ABC can make it your way. Thanks bro.

Spiece Fieldhouse is great..lots of good equipment and pretty good atmosphere...but depending on the day you go there is always a shitload of AAU and other basketball games going on, and it can be distracting. It is a cool place though for sure.

Which Golds? Unless there is more than one that closed in Ft. Wayne I think you and I used to train in the same gym.

Aside from the many Y's, I trained at American Health and Fitness before I moved to TX. Pretty cool place...nobody under 18 allowed, which makes it more intense.

Any ideas of actual lifts we are looking to hit, so i can coordinate my workout to maximize muscle performance for that day.

I was thinking a full body session hitting all the core lifts, basically rip our bodies into pieces.....

Also, nice to meet you at the Cage G.

Glad you can make it !

I am sure most of us have some sort of bodybuilding or powerlifting routine already being implemented. Also, this coming ABC session will have too many Animals for all of us to be hitting the same muscle group. Let’s fill the gym, get crazy, lift some heavy iron and crush whatever muscle you desire.

I just ask that you lift with extreme intensity and noise. Let’s tear up the fuckin gym!

me either. My job is usually days till 4 pm weekends off but occasionally I have to work weekends and sometimes evenings in another department so that is why I hesitated about this great opportunity but if you are willing to help it would be great. I figure we could schedule events Evansville, Vincennes, Newburgh and more in Indiana and possibly even skip over to Kentucky to Henderson, Owensborro, Maddisonville if we arent stepping on any of our Animal brothers toes. Hey I just saw we have our own thread now cool they moved my last post and didnt know it LOL

Evansville and Merriville are about 6 or so hours apart drive time, give or take what roads you run.

Merrivile is extreme NW Indiana, maybe 45 minutes from down Chicago. Evansville is extreme SW Indiana, almost to where the two rivers meet.

Indy is about 4 hours out on Merriville and roughly 3 on Evansville.

There are many people that wish to attend an ABC workout session. As the word gets around, more and more people want to become a part of the ABC and explore Animal. The word is traveling fast for the lift happening on the 29th. We can have ABC lifting sessions where ever there is a very high demand. I agree with STFU that Indy is a good location. I have been looking into a second ABC session in Indy already. After the session on the 29th, Indiana ABC plans to hit Indy and move all around Indiana. This will give everyone in Indiana to attend the ABC! I am glad that there is an increasing volume of interested Animals!!!

A continuous process of increasing size and strenth. Besides that, I just do not give a fuck. Simple...I am an Animal. I do not know why, it just is.

ABC lift 2 was crazy, intense and some heavy iron was lifted. I could have hoped for more Animals to attend. I will still do a 3rd ABC, but we need to pick it up. We all want to be heavy lifters, get crazy and eat big but it is the Implementation that is important!

ABC lift 2 was crazy, intense and some heavy iron was lifted. I could have hoped for more Animals to attend. I will still do a 3rd ABC, but we need to pick it up. We all want to be heavy lifters, get crazy and eat big but it is the Implementation that is important! I know plenty of Animals on here implement everything they say, but I would like more Animals to step up, support the ABC and attend the next lifting session.

This summer I'll be looking to do some short travels to hook up with some various ABC's. I am a teacher, so my summers are pretty free. I'll be checking this thread for the meetings in June-August.

I agree nick it would be awesome to lift together with Northern Indiana. I would definately be willing to take the drive but for right now the company I work for has people quitting, getting fired, calling in all the damn time(hence getting fired :) ) so until that blows over I may not have much time for a 5 hour drive but it will happen sooner or later hopefully sooner.

As far as what to lift....I will do legs. I usually say lift what you want as long as you get crazy. Everyone is more then welcome to join me in lifting Legs.

5 to 10 minute warm up walk
Stretch

Leg Press (static contraction movements / 3 sets)

Squat (10, 8, 6)
Deadlift (10, 8, 6)
Leg Extension (10, 8, 6) 3 to 5 seconds holds at peak contraction
Calf Raises (10, 8, 6)

One leg at a time, progressive squats on Smith Machine (2 sets till failure)

If they have a power plate, I will do some finishing work on that.

leo's blackiron gym on the east side is pretty dungeon-ish. not the greatest hours, but its only 5 bucks for a day if you want to hit it ever so often. no a/c, few mirrors, and no new equipment. t-bar row station is literally a 2 inch pipe with a stop on it for the plates. 615 main st beech grove is the address. besides that, gold's gym on the east side isn't too bad. the one on the north side sucks though. there's also a gym out in plainfield called Next Level Fitness. they've got the only kinesis machine around as well as some really advanced machines. on the other side of the gym, they've got two of the nicest power racks i've seen. the owners are heavy into powerlifting. they also have equipment to train for strong man competitions (i.e. atlas stones, 150 lbs kegs, tires, sleds, and a prowler.) its a great place to work out, kinda pricey though. These are all the ones i've checked out man, hope it helps.

Cost: To be determined. (I'm working on getting guest passes or a reduced day rate.)

So there it is. The gym is basically right off of I-55, just past the mall at the Route 30 exit.

Like I said, I'm going to try and get some guest passes or a reduced day rate for people. I'll post that info up as soon as I can get it.

As for eating afterwards, there are alot of restaurants right near the gym. Here's a list of some of them:

Outback Steakhouse
Texas Roadhouse
Lone Star Steakhouse
Hooters
Diamond's (Family style place.)
Steak and Shake
Old Country Buffet
TGI Friday's
Crapple...I mean, Applebee's

Personally, my vote would be for Outback or Texas Roadhouse. Let me know what you all think.

Also, please post up in here if you plan on coming so that I can get a rough headcount, and so that I can get enough guest passes if I can manage to get those.

Hope to see you all there!

I need everybody's input on this one. Here's my plan. Yeah I have a lotta equipment in my garage but not enough room to hold an ABC. So this is what I'm doing...

1st Annual Midwest Animal Open and BBQ

I've got a cement platform in my backyard where we can put a bench and deadlift mat (may not be perfectly flat, but it'll work). I've got a big yard, a grill, and plenty of room to park. So, I'll be holding the first Multi-State push/pull meet for FORVM members in my back yard! Followed by a cookout.

So here's what you need to do. I'm gonna need a headcount, donations, helpers (spotters, loaders, judges, grillers, help cleaning after) and dishes to pass.

This is gonna be real laid back, nothing fancy. Because I don't have the time to basically do this whole by myself at this end until people show up that day. If this is gonna work, I need HELP. People willing to stay afterwards and help me put the house and yard back together. I'm really looking forward yo this, and I'm hoping this becomes a yearly event. I'm happy to hold this even and spearhead it. I've been wanting to see something like this happen outside of the Arnold and Olympia. Everybody here in the Midwest gets screwed because we don't have access to the pros, corporate, or even the sheer numbers of participants like the huge ABCs on either coast. And if you cant make it to The Cage you don't see any of is stuff. Let's make this ours guys/gals. I'm thinking end of September, on a Saturday. Start throwing some ideas out there.

Welcome to my nightmare...

This is where the Lilliebridge's train. We talked to Ernie Sr. at the National ABC, and he invited us to come out on a Sunday. I know he will be there, I'm not sure about Ernie Jr. or Eric. Either way, this is going to be a good one.

New Chicago-Area ABC scheduled!

When: Saturday, September 7th, 12pm
Where: Atlas Gym 2, Kenosha, WI http://www.atlasgym2.com/
Why: Fundraising drive for the LETR Plane Pull benefiting Special Olympics, sponsored by Phil Darin/Chicago ABC Chapter http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/chrishickman/PlanePull2013/team
Cost: TBD

Atlas Gym 2 is an awesome gym situated halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee, about 5 miles east of I-94 which includes such implements as: Atlas stones, tires, kettlebells, deadlift platform, multiple power cages, competition bench, prowler, farmer's walk implements, bands, chains, deadlift platform...etc. etc. Bring your own chalk. They also have a smoothie bar.

Official post-gym eats will be at Captain Mike's Beer & Burger (& Whiskey) Bar, near the lake shore. Featuring a couple dozen craft taps (including an O'So tap exclusive to the Mike's locations, O'So being from Kenosha), the best burgers I've ever had outside of Kuma's in Chicago, over 100 whiskeys, mac & cheese of the week, and I've also seen a bloody mary that includes a mozzarella cheese stick (welcome to Wisconsin). Beer fans should also make plans to stop at Woodman's Grocery to stock up on New Glarus, only available in WI, for the cheapest prices available (you will overpay at Cheese Castle/Brat Stop/gas stations/etc.)

Also, if anyone's interested, I'm going to plan on breakfast at Frank's Diner in Kenosha (http://www.franksdinerkenosha.com/), a famous breakfast restaurant featured on the Food Network known for its garbage plates (a shit ton of meat, eggs, and potatoes basically) and the fact that it is built out of an actual boxcar, and after the ABC I plan on heading to Chicago to see Local H at the Metro for their last show with their current drummer.

Please post here if you plan to attend. I'm going to iron out the details with Atlas tonight.
