View Full Version : South Carolina Animals
Anyone in the forum around the South Carolina area. I live in Hilton Head Island and would be willing to set up a training session if anybody is willing to lift. I train at a pretty good gym, old school pure iron dumbbells that go up to 140, power racks, hack squats (those are few and far between), benches, shit some of the 45 pound plates exceed the 45 pounds and are 47, 42, 49, haha. Im not gonna say its a completely hardcore gym, but it definately doesnt meet the standards of the facilities that are around today, which is why i stay, love the old equipment and free weights. So if anyone is in the area, just post up and hopefully we can set something up.
Dude, little too far, I was hoping you were South of the border SC close to Charlotte, but oh well. Not sure what gym you're at, I vacationed last april at MB and worked out for a week at the Golds Gym there, 2 roads off the main highway, turn left at the gas station, sorry if this doesnt make sense. Nice gyms though, kinda hardcore...Funny story about it though...

You could try and run a search under "The Legion" tab. I found some members for the Iowa and Minnesota chapters by finding them and sending out PM's. Maybe that will help.

Hey man,
If we ever get enough animals together in Charlotte, it might be a shorter trip for you. Charlotte is right on the border of SC and NC. Anybody else in Charlotte, North Carolina or close? I know there has got to be some animals out there, its a big flippin city, lol. Anyone?

Yea it would be good if we could find like a group of 10 or so people and have a workout like once a month at different gyms.
FAO and Legacy, I would be down for a meet anywhere, of course the closer the better but it don't matter cause this is the ABC were talking about! Just let me know.

I go to school in MN. But when I am home I live in Beaufort. There are a number of big cats that roam the YMCA there in the evening if you are looking for some old school dudes. Mr. Terry, and Q are both large men. Anyways. Next time I am home maybe we can get together. Because your only a 20 minute drive.

Yeah man sounds good. My training partner down at school here in Florida actually lives in Beaufort and comes down to my gym often and trains when we are back home from school. We can try and work something out when it gets closer to summertime.

ABC event. Let me know if you are interested. I live in Easley and train at the YMCA and I will ask about an event, but if anyone has a better gym or ideas I would be glad to talk to you. If we have enough bros from the lower part of the state it would probably be better to have one in Columbia which would be central to everyone. Looking forward to seeing a huge turnout!

I live down at Hilton Head and might be able to get an event going at the gym I work at. Its a pretty badass gym with real weights, got some hack squat machines, squat racks, bench, pretty much the basics, no fancy equipment or any of that shit.

Sounds good to me, I never cared for machines anyway. If we set it for July that would make 3 of us, 4 if YoungOne could make it. Hoping we have more animals post up in the next few days. Been a long time since I was in Hilton Head, last time I was there I got to see a panama jack bikini contest, it's been a while.
SC needs to get rolling, we've got a decent start but we need to get an event scheduled and would like to see some more Animals post up. I know you are out there, we are everywhere. So post or PM me and we will get to liftin.

So far we've got Hilton Head for sometime in July. Would like to set one up for June, either around the upstate or in Columbia. If we do it around Columbia I would need some help setting up a gym. If we do it in the upstate we could use my gym. SC needs to have some events, so post up and let's get it going!
We got YoungOne hitting me up on getting an event around Columbia for June. Any other takers?
Legacy, I see that you work at the gym you mentioned, if kcinnitram91 is in Hilton Head July 18 would this work for ya? Maybe around midday cause I will drive down and then drive back afterwards. If this works let me know and I'll PM kcinnitram91 and see if that's good.
Still looking for something this month. Anyone interested post up.

Would love to, only prob is I don't know anyone in Myrtle Beach to get a gym together. Legacy is in Hilton Head which is a little far from you and Youngone is in Sumter which is probably a 2 hour ride, and I am a good 5 hours ride from there. I will do another search or something to try and find someone around that area. Hold tight, hopefully we can get this going.

Looks like we may have something for end of June @ Myrtle Beach. Going to contact a gym and try to get it rollin. We got Youngone and HardGainer on board. Legacy are you in? The more the better!
Im not sure about the July 18th, i know i have to work during the day, but probably anything after the 19th and before August 1st is what i can do due to the fact im leaving for school in august. What about the 19th? I think I am probably workin the gym on that day, so there would be no problem letting yall in and gettin shit done.

Hopefully that will work, I have to go out of town right at that time for work but it has been changed 3 times so we will see. I was curious if you could lift at Myrtle Beach maybe June 28, looking into Gold's, but will post the info up when I get it.
Alright, Hardgainer is going to be in N. Myrtle Beach starting June 28, and I am waiting to see what day is good for him, but I have talked to someone @ Gold's on Hwy. 17S N. myrtle beach and they told me they were fine with us coming in for a lift. Will have to get guest passes which are: Daily - $12.00
Weekly - $30.00
Legacy has July 19 at his gym in Hilton Head. So there is two options for everybody. Post up and let me know.

Im gonna have to switch to the florida animal club, too bad we couldnt get something started sooner, but ill keep posting up here if i get back in SC. Train Hard!

How about Columbia in July. This would be middle of the State and shorter distance for all of us. Really need to do this, SC has been looking pretty bleak. Post up and when I get some info I will let you know.

Try and bring your belts, straps, sleeves and anything else you need, whatever you don't have we have for you to use. We will do an hour training session with a little cardio and enjoy a big meal afterward. Cool?

we decide wat we are training?
We'll train back. If anyone is opposed or hasn't rested enough to train back then we will lift alongside each other.
We'll train back. If anyone is opposed or hasn't rested enough to train back then we will lift alongside each other.Sounds like a good day! You said 8 or 10 what do you prefer?
Try to be there promptly at 8 a.m.
Make sure that you can bring a 10 entrance fee to the gym, if you can't cover I'll help out. Make sure you bring your appetite and money for a breakfast buffet after the training session.

Event time changed to 1:00 PM on Oct 25. Looks like possibly a strongman day?
The Young One
10-19-08, 11:22 pm
ok, event time is 1:00 on the 25th? and we are still training chest right?
Anyone mind if I join you guys this Saturday? I have been waiting for a ABC in charlotte but I dont think its gonna happen. I lift at the Peak in Rock Vegas all the time, I probably have seen you guys before, lol. Sorry if I dont seem too friendly, I usually just put the IPOD on full blast and try to block everything out, no offense. If you are doing chest I can stagger my split to hit that this weekend. I have a metro buddy pass as well if anyone needs to get in. Just started a bulk so looking to put on a few Lbs. Just let me know.
Peace...

hell yeah, sore already
Had a great session and thanks to all of you for another intense ABC. My whole upper body is hurtin! All of you did a hell of a job and I'm looking forward to the next one.
Hey brothers, everyone either contact on here with each other or e-mail me and we will figure out what will be the basis of the next event. The Animal Field Day will be only for the strong and the few that can handle it. Trust me it is tough. On the flip side I really want to welcome and congratulate the new Animal brothers that we have in our crew, you guys brought some new intensity and blood to our crew. Also everyone, we put up one hell of an event and everyone really did me proud and did each other proud, if we can put forth that much brotherly love, intensity, and skill to each event we will be the biggest and the best in no time. It's our time for the spotlight of the Animal Community to shine on us for a little while. We ain't going nowhere. I love you guys. Like I said just get in touch with each other and me and let's get this next thing popping.
What up guys...I had a great time lifting on Saturday, my chest is "kinda" sore today, lol. I was trying to figure why the heck my abs are sore? It was nice to find other fellow animals out there. My wife said whatever i did she could notice, she was like, you should work out chest more, lol. Anyway, I got up the pics, maybe Beast you could throw them into the gallery section? This is the link...

Glad you could make it FAO!! Hopefully you can can lift with us from now on, we were glad to have you on board! I'm pretty sore today too, that was a great session we had! Thanks for posting those pix, I'll get them over to the gallery.
I love it! We had new blood and old blood, and it made good blood, heck even a little blood was spread at our latest ABC, LoL! Glad to have FAO and Jambarino as part of the family now.
I put our vids on Youtube and my Myspace.
ABC # 3 November 22 Location - TBA, Training - TBD.
ABC # 4 December 20 Location - TBA, Training - TBD.
Alright everyone needs 2 let me know what they want to train for the upcoming ABC. So far the vote stands at 2 - strongman, 2 - legs, 1 - shoulders. Who has voted you know who you are no need to recast, also I haven't cast my vote yet so I guess mine might be the deciding factor depending on how close our election is. I'm basing all this voting stuff on the whole election deal and Patriotism. Do Your Part And Vote. Remember also do your part to join with Animal and Us. I am loving everyone's participation and enthusiasm. Keep it up brothers! Also what does everyone want to do as far as eating and hanging out sometime?
The Young One
11-05-08, 9:30 pm
my leg is still not 100%, cant squat or leg press, only extensions n curls. So if we could legs in december i might be better n atleast be able to attempt squatting.
jambarino
11-05-08, 10:55 pm
due to my job i wont be able to make the next two abc events.i work for bilo and the holidays are crazy.I will make it to the one in january and every one after that if my job allows it.sorry brothers.as far as hanging out some time keep me posted on when and i will try my best to make it.
The two dates look good to me, and you got my vote through PM and I still stick to it. It's good to see everyone come out to these events and I hate that Jambarino can't make it but we talked about that last time and I'm sure we all understand, BI-LO and Holidays = Very Busy. Looking forward to it!
Sucks you can't make it Jam, but we know if it wasn't 4 work you would. Gotta make your money. As for Kyle let's do you right and Everyone we'll do Shoulders since his leg and Rashan's leg areas aren't good yet. As for me don't worry I'll do what it takes but this past Saturday I was doing my sparring training and striking and hit the bag wrong and about broke my damn arm but i'll push through it. Haven't been able to move my arm by then.
The Young One
11-09-08, 11:19 pm
iight, ive been frogetting to bring my autographed "Young Gunz" poster i won in a promo, so ill bring it for the pics.
Shoulders sounds good, I should be able to make it. Looking forward to another great session...
The Young One
11-16-08, 3:30 pm
i might be bringing 2 guys who might be future animals
Let's get through this week and hammer it out. My elbow feels better but not 100%. Shoulders it is votes and injuries have been cast. Do not be fooled, shoulders may seem easy enough but when it comes to my workout it is not. I usually cant sit at my desk right because I can't lean on my arms and put any pressure on my shoulders.
8 a.m.

Rock Hill, SC 29730
Bring your animal gear and products. Everyone yellow shirts if you have them.
Yeah, well, I used to think chest was kinda easy til our last Animal session...
I told ya, my training is beyond normal but only met to be used for a limited amount of time because if not you'll start to decrease in strength and really overtrain.
Alright so far we have attending:
js71474, the young one, fao, beast1, wand 77, ct, ready-ra
Remember to try and get others in your area interested and to tag along. Print out the flyers I sent you and hook it up. Remember everyone bring your animal gear and supps, yellow shirts if you got them if not then some animal gear. Let's do it.

I won't be able to make this one, found out this morning we have to pick up out of town relatives at the Atlanta airport Saturday morning at 9. They were supposed to be coming in next week but they had to make a last minute change. It's been 5 years since I've seen these people otherwise it wouldn't make any difference. I really hate to miss this but I know you guys will understand. Lift hard brothers and get some killer pix so I can show them what I had to miss.

Our third succesful animal event. Not the turn out we were expecting but still good. I want to give props to FAO, The Young One, Dougbh, and his girl. You guys did excellent. The pics will be up shortly so check back in about an hour or two. Looking forward to the next one.
I put them up either go to my myspace or youtube to view the vids.
Looked at the pix, nice job everyone! You guys moved some serious weight. Sucks I had to miss it but I'm looking forward to the next one!

those are what you call rear shrugs, and you guys killed it.
Looking forward to December 20th, remember to let me know what you want to train because I haven't recieved votes, I think from Jam, and Josh.
Going to have to miss this one too, we got shutdowns to man for the last two weeks of December and it will take everybody we have at work to do it. I hate it but I gotta work. If I remember right Jambarino will miss too because of work. So I'll be looking forward to January. Beast, missed your text messages until today, the new phones I told you we got are SHIT, and I haven't forgotten about our chip in. You want me to wait till January to bring it or you want me to mail it?
Brothers hit it hard and I'll be wishing I was there. The pix from last time were great, do that again so I can see what I missed!

We are doing BACK! A couple of our members are not 100% so we're doing whats best, remember don't train back this week, save it for the weekend, trust me you'll need it. Don't be afraid to puke, just step out the back door where we take the pics. Remember try and get others to join us so that we can grow our family. Same bat time, same bat channel. Until next weekend.
Your Animal Friend,
Beast1(Jason Mullens)

Yo fellas...I'm in Greenville SC. Just started my journey on here but I've been a huge fan of Animal and the products for YEARS.
You can add me to your ABC SC list
Welcome C huck and SuperFlexSteve, glad to have yall on board! We havent had a full fledged event for a bit but would love to meet you guys can make the next one. js71474 or Beast1, you guys got any ideas for an upcoming animal event, maybe hit back or legs or somthing? I know you just had the surgery Jason, so not too sure what youre percentage is. Hope everything has done well with the strongman. Lets get a time set to lift some weight...
The Young One
04-20-09, 10:20 pm
we havent even been trying to organize anymore abc's bc poeple stopped wanting to come. Me n Jason hit strongman training pretty much every weekend. SO if there will b another abc im pretty sure that it will be a strongman session bc our daily training is set up for the strongman on weekends. ill text jason tomorrow n let him we got some fresh meat on the forum. lol
wellingtonb74
04-21-09, 1:18 am
Im from sumter and im down to do the strongman with yall.
Sorry guys, not really into the strongman that much, so if you are going strongman exclusive, thats cool, but Ill have to take a rain check. Definitely hit me up though if you r having a lifting bodybuilding session...best of luck!
The Young One
04-21-09, 7:49 pm
just got done talkin to jason were gonna start organizing an offical abc. he's goin on an anniversary cruise this weekend, but when he gets back he said he'll get on n we'll c who all is up for some seroud liftin
I wanna know dates and times you guys are free and we can do something in the next week or two, I don't have another competition until late May so let's get something going. Yes me and Young One do strongman training exclusively on the weekends but the gyms and place we go are the most equipped places too do anything you ever imagined in your workouts and train muscles you never knew you had. What I'm saying is we can organize a strongman/regular heavy lifting session together and me and Young One can show you guys a thing or two, we are versatile so training mutiple things in one training session wouldn't be too far of a stretch. Let me know asap. Contact me via email for more info or questions - jasonmullens@hotmail.com.
I need everyones contact info since I switched email addresses. Emails and phone numbers. Just PM me. Thanks.
I have new videos up of training at SC Barbell yesterday and Lake Norman today up on my youtube page. www.youtube.com/indigoracer

When does everyone want to get together for a hardcore training session? Strongman/regular bodypart training.

05-14-09, 12:02 pm
Beast i like your pressure. Keep pushing. Even if there are some dudes from your gym that you want to get together thats cool too. Let me know if you need any help brother man.
Hey Jason,
Is the 30th too soon, or maybe June 13th. Strongman or BB, whatever is good with me, (id go more for a good back day though :) - not too sure where we would meet now since they shut down the Peak, got any ideas?

Is the 30th too soon, or maybe June 13th. Strongman or BB, whatever is good with me, (id go more for a good back day though :) - not too sure where we would meet now since they shut down the Peak, got any ideas?
I have a strongman competition the 23rd and wont begin training again until the Tuesday after so that's cool. Everyone let me know if you're available for the 30th and we can have a strongman/back workout. Sound good?
Yeah Peak may be closed, but one of the best place you're ever gonna train at is South Carolina Barbell. Check them out, www.southcarolinabarbell.com.
The 30th sound good for everyone? Details are in your emails. If I don't have your email and phone number then pm me.
Crap guys, just realized I have to be in a wedding on the 30th. Exciting. I will try to see if there is a way to get down to Columbia and back that day but its not looking too good right now. Either way I really like the look of that gym, gonna miss that back workout too.
