View Full Version : Training Thursday/Friday Night In Columbus

I'm sure alot of Animals like myself will probably be getting into Columbus on Thursday, and I know many of you will be there on Friday, so who would be interested in hitting up Metro Fitness in downtown Columbus to train on Thursday night, and then again Friday night after the expo?

I'm not really talking like an ABC or anything (since that will be Saturday night), and we don't even have to all train together or anything (although that would be cool). I'm more or less talking about just hitting the gym to train and represent Animal. Hell, I know we're all going to be fired up and ready to kill it, why not put that energy to good use?

I'll be there...who's with me?

Yo Phil, we just reserved our hotel. We'll be there FOR sure Thursday night...Last year it was loaded with Pros on thursday night. I'll never forget it...We were driving around tryin to find the damn place for like an hour. They had changed the name of the gym and I didnt realize it lol. So finally after driving by Metro fitness like 5 times, I look in the window...Ox, Big Ant, G-diesel...I see the whole fucking crew in there through the windows. I thought I died and went to heaven lol. I was in there each night training, and you can be damn sure I will be this year too...

Rcrott1 and myself will definately be there Friday Night. As the plan stands we're leaving early Friday morning and will be there around the time the Expo opens.

I'm trying to get on the horn with him now to see if we can switch our hotel reservations to that Thursday. I'd sure love to make it a 4 day iron vacation.

Thoughts?

01-30-09, 3:39 pm
I'm driving but should be in town before 5pm. So anytime will work for me.

I was wondering if you guys were going to hit someplace to eat after lifting. I know all the Pros are all going out to eat together and wondered if you guys wanted to plan something also.

Let me know what day. I'm doing nothing but Oly lifting all weekend.

Again, don't know what days, but:

Clean and Jerk, Arms (training them for an Oly point of view)
Snatch, Explosive Deads (from a Clean stance)
Front Squats, Jerk Press

I'd love to train some Olympic stuff with you if you're down.

I tried making it Thurs, but it didnt happen..

Made it Friday.. and my wrist decided to act up, and it made me sick to my stomach..

Meeting new friends and seeing old friends was great..

Big Ant and J-Dawg thanks for allowing me to attempt to train with you guys, next year.. I am coming back bigger and stronger..

And we will complete a full workout together.. so mark it down now, I am getting over this injury and nothing is going to hold me back..

Big Ant wrote Train Smart, and I always knew that saying, Ive said it a thousand times.. but once he wrote that on my new
Your Journey book, which everyone needs to pick up from The Shop, it hit deep, I hated feeling disabled, thats why I took the
brace off after 30 mins of being in the Cage Friday..

This Friday I find out about surgery, once thats over with.. I am not going to stop until I get to the top.. As G Diesel told me.. keep it real..

thats the only way to live.. too many people out there who cant be real.. who have to try to be someone else.. thats what makes us
who we are, we.. the Animals. are REAL.. we do this for ourselves.. I dont bust my ass to make someone else happy, I do this shit for ME.

talking with all of you guys this weekend, made me realize how much I love this life.. yeah we all have our bad days, but when another
"bad day" comes along for me.. im gonna dust that shit off my shoulders and remember everything I learned this past weekend..
this injury is temporary, my friendships with everyone here.. are for a lifetime and I will do anything I can for any one of you here.. Even Big Al (haha)

J-Dawg.. if it wasnt for you, this experience would not have happened, I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you have done.

I dont wanna waste anymore of everyones time.. but I just had some shit I needed to say.. I have more.. and I think im gonna write myself
a personal article.. that I can look back on everytime I feel that urge.. that im goin in the wrong direction..

again I seriously want to thank everyone..

dannynb
03-10-09, 12:03 am
