Any Brothers out there from the Charlotte area? I live at Lake Norman and would love to start a new chapter. Let me know if any one is close enough to work out together. I lift @ Peak Fitness in Cornelius (Lake Norman)

First of all welcome to the movement that is the ABCs, my brother. I know Charlotte is a major city that I'm sure has several serious gyms and hardcore trainers--which makes it seem like an ideal home to an Animal Barbell Club chapter. I look forward to seeing what you guys can put together.

Just as an FYI, there are already 3 chapters in North Carolina...

I do strongman training and I use to be a bodybuilder and powerlifter, still look the par. I have some friends we do strongman training with in Lake Norman: Dex Sommerville, Shawn Lane, David Hansen, Corey Belden, Steve Jordan. You're more than welcome to join us. Got an ABC coming up, let me know if you're interested. pm me or email me your info, jasonmullens@hotmail.com, your email address and name and phone number.

Young One and I competed at Brute Strength Gym's Strongest Man/Virginia's Strongest man this past weekend, well just yesterday. Young One was in a novice open weight class and placed 4th, which was damn good considering it was his first show and he was outweighed by his fellow competitors by 50-100lbs. I competed in the 231's or Lightweights and took first in the 231's and won overall lightweight. Hells yeah. Now we are getting ready for the South Atlantic Strongman Showdown on 02/13/10 in Columbia, SC. Come along.

if I can get a list of guys, i'll do one. Shit, noone else is. Tried getting TTL to come down here for one, but don't think its happening lol. I know a perfect gym for a hardcore event like ABC, its in Huntersville (about 10-30mins north of Charlotte depending on where you live). PM me and if I can get a few guys, i'll get it started

My body Rob Polenik is opening a new gym in Rock Hill, SC. Planning to open up in March 2011 as of right now and it will be completely geared toward strongman and powerlifting. Will have a ton of strongman implements, bands, chains, dumbbells up to 175lbs. Go to www.facebook.com and search for Brutal Iron Gym. Check it out and offer support and get ready to come and train. More info on site.

ive been trying to find some Animal boys to lift with in Charlotte or around Charlotte. Been talking to Beast about setting up an ABC event. I work out in Charlotte (Any where from Corneilus actually down to Ballentyne/Ardery Kell) so anyone feel like lifting let me know

I don't train with anyone, I'll also check out that facebook page.

I tend to lift really early (5am) but I'm up for whatever...

kinda curious, when you guys say you work out wherever, what type of gyms do you join? hah, I need to get away from Planet Fitness, but its just so damn cheap and when I first started working out/losing weight, it was my best option...i'm looking to get into a more meathead orientated gym...but I don't want to spend life savings moving from gym to gym.

Peace, G

G Diesel,

It looks like the Charlotte chapter is stagnant. Do you know otherwise? I do see a few guys at my gym, Blast Fitness (formerly Ballys Total Fitness), that sport the Animal shirt. I'll get up with them and get some info.

BTW...an odd question...do you have any ABC flyers in Spanish? There is a large Hispanic demographic that goes to my gym, to include a few of the guys with the Animal gear, one of which I believe is a trainer there.

Ductus Exemplo,

Hey boys, I'm over at Bragg right now and my schedule is looking pretty tight until this fall. But I will keep checking in... I'd love to give this NC ABC a run for their money!

I see a lot of you guys are Charlotteans and that is awesome, I hope this isn't dead yet because I want to help get this going.
I lift at the Fitness Factory off Hawthorne, any one else close?
