What a weekend. We had a great ABC Saturday between the pre judging and the night show of the NY Pro. We hit up Steel Gym, if you are in Manhattan and need a place to train this gym is a great choice.

I met up with BigAnt, Joey D, callme47 and the boys at the pre judging and then we took the subway up to Steel where we met up with G Diesel and the others. Had a great workout (BigAnt killed me on arms, they are very sore as I type this), there was an impromptu posedown at the gym, then we hit up a great meal and then we hopped back on the subway to Tribecca and capped off the evening by watching Ox take home the title in his rookie debut at the NY Pro. What a great day!

BigAnt comes prepared. Even though he is off season and not competing for a while, he came loaded with a couple of meals and supplements. Before we headed to Steel he had to get his pre workout meal in:

He told us about his secret ingredients:

Some did not bring their meals with them and had to partake in other fare:

Twas a phenomenal ABC at Steel Gym and great to catch up with all of the fellas... With Ox's dominance, there was an air of positivity in the air that everybody seemed to ride through their workouts. Manny and the boys took great care of us, providing a hard training sanctuary in the middle of Manhattan. Thanks to everybody that came out to support the Animal Barbell Club in NYC. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next one...

Peace, G

It wouldn't be an ABC without some post workout grub:

A very cool moment after the show, Evan was still on stage and he asked if his friends and family could come up on stage and get a group photo. Before you knew it there was probably 100-200 people up on that stage, I got up there and shook his hand but couldn't get a photo, he was mobbed by people and he had to go run and do an interview.
