Nice. See what you can do to drum up some interest. I believe Corporate has a distributor in Australia, so if these Australian ABCs take off, you fellas should get plenty of support.

To say i'm excited about it would be an understatement. i work at a gym so drumming up excitement there will be like shooting fish in a barrel. (very easy). Im sure never2big can rally troops also.

When you have a suburb called 'surfers paradise' - you know your in heaven ;)

Theres also Dreamworld, Movieworld, Seaworld, Wet N Wild - Theme Park crazy.

Its hot all the time (usually) so society seems to have just gotten laid back. Life is outdoors. Tons of BBQ's, days outdoors playing with the kids in parks or at the beach.

Alright so I have talked to the powers that be. We are good for an abc event mid - late april. A Thursday night or a weekend would be ideal. - I will drum up numbers at my gym through the notice boards and im sure never2big could do the same. we tell 1, they tell 1 etc. This will happen.

Heres a link to the gym - http://www.spectrum.org.au/recreation.htm

They make it look new and fancy but once you get there you will realise other wise. Its a not for profit place so most of the gear is donated and all funds go towards finding work for disadvantage people.

I have never had to wait for a peice of equipment there mainly because most people in my area go to all the fancy gyms that are in shopping centres where people can look in and see them working out. This gym is actually in the middle of an industrial area.

Plenty of good places around too for a massive post workout feed.

Thanks for the vote of confidence G-Diesel. Wont let ya down.

Worst case scenario I'm thinking, Corporate could take care of the shirts and ship direct. In that case, you'd just gotta cover the cost of the shirt, and they will charge the flat $3.00....

Will take the 26th april to the powers that be N2B - we also need a date that will correspond to after everyone having purchased animal shirts. I guess that's in reps' hand.

How are your numbers looking?

so i printed out the animal spiel on the abc that is found on the title page of the website. i handed a few out as flyers to some guys at the gym and made sure the website addy was on there.

The guys that were a bit skinny and new were a bit intimidated by it all but im trying to bring them around and show them its not a bodybuilding competition. its a meet and greet and a chance to learn from some bigger fellas who might not usually stop to talk in the gym.

hard to know who to hand these flyers out too though. some blokes just come in, do their stuff, no talking and then go. like most of us i guess. im just handing them out to everyone without any of the assuming or stereotyping.

hopefully it will spark some interest.

If i were any more positive i would have a + tattoo on my forehead.

For all i know the gear could turn up today but as enforcer said it would be nice to have the full affect of the abc. plus i have ordered 11 shirts and its going to be a lot harder to get them to everyone if i have to chase them up after the abc because we are some distance apart.

TODAYS ABC - Brisbane Australia.

Awesome day. Never2Big, bedfox, myself and 6 other folks turned up. the guy from the supplement store around the corner turned up to find out all about animal too. the other guys that were there today will sign up to the forum this week too.

We had a good amount of numbers, we did a massive work out and had an awesome BBQ afterwards. thanks to Gordo for the beef.

We didnt have the animal shirts but made do with what we had. we got a shit load of good photos and a video of some of us boys doing a 250 rep drop set of shrugs.

Met some good guys and definitely created a new vibe in the gym.

Cant wait for gordos pics and the next event!

i got shirts and a banner.

I sussed out a place today for our next abc. its near where we had the first one but its a pcyc. massive big shed filled with tons of free weights, cages etc etc.

Once again a not for profit organisation which can often limit which products they promote. no matter how hard i try to explain the abc to management they are like oh so u just lift barbells, is it weekly, do you have to be able to lift a certain weight and so on.

easiest thing will be for me to say is 'my weight lifting club want to meet here on the (insert date), is that ok' - then there arent as many ridiculous questions.

what sort of date works for u gordo. hopefully my flex and pump arrived at bedfoxes place today.

gotta disagree bro... if you use bb.com mstak will be seized at customs... i've got it in before but i used a different shop... The prices are about the same but shipping is through the roof.

Pump and torrent will be fine though as you probably figured... oh and be careful ordering 6 cans of pump, there is some kind of 3 month supply rule that customs use to gauge whether youre selling the stuff or not. I've ordered 6 cans of Pak before and had no trouble just warnin ya though.
