I am currently in Iraq, however, I will be coming home at the end of the year. I wouldn't mind seeing an ABC up and running in the Western Kentucky area. I know a lot of folks from the Hopkinsville, Cadiz, Murray, Madisonville, Russelville, and Bowling Green areas find it difficult to get to the Louisville/Lexington areas, as well as the Southern Indiana areas. Gas ain't cheap. Ft. Campbell has an ABC, however, since it's on post, a lot of folks won't be able to attend. This would also be a good chance for folks from Clarksville, TN to take part in some of the ABC events.

Folks in the area wouldn't have to drive more than about an hour to get to Western KY ABC events which would allow us to have more events rather than drive 3+ hours twice a year or so. Personally, I think it could also attend other chapters' events as often we can. I would be willing to start getting things coordinated on my end. I already have a lot of contacts back in Hopkinsville who would be willing to help. I also know of a bunch of guys I lifted with when I was on R&R who would be willing to be a part of the first Western KY ABC Event.

What do any of the other Animals in Western Kentucky think? Would you like to see a Kentucky (Western) chapter of the ABC?

I'd like to thank the Watchmen for allowing Western Kentucky a chance to speak out about the ABC.

Now to all the Animals out there in Western Kentucky... let your voices be heard... speak up, get your friends to speak up, and let's get this thing started!!!

Good to have a new Chapter poking up through. Give it birth and get it running brother.

Oh I'm definately looking forward to bringing some life to an ABC in Western Kentucky. I'd like to involve some of the other chapters too such as the main Kentucky Chapter, Southern Indiana Chapter, and Ft. Campbell Chapter and getting some intra-chapter events going. Once I know about how many people are interrested, I can start looking into facilities based on capacity and general distance for everyone. I can also look into some places to eat. I'm ready to get this started. While the first event probably won't take place until I get back from Iraq in December, I'm willing to start working out the details so everything goes down flawlessly.

I also have an idea for one event that would best take place in the spring of 2010. I was thinking of an outdoor "Caveman" event, but with an ole' Kentucky twist... I thought of chuckin' some 70+ pound bails of hay, sledging some tractor tires, tractor tire flips, hauling loaded wheelbarrows up ramps, hoisting bags of concrete (or sandbags/feedbags) overhead... you know getting in a all around Good Ole' Boy workout.

I've got the motivation, and a shit-load of ideas guys. I just need to hear from everyone else who wants to see this happen!

I know there's gotta be some Western Kentucky Animals looking at this post. Come on guys, let's get this ABC off the ground!

Ok, here's the deal. I don't get back to Hopkinsville until I re-deploy to the states at the end of the year. That gives us plenty to plan out the first Western Kentucky ABC. I've always found that the best way to plan any event is to set a date in advance and let people adjust their schedules. I want to do this before the Arnold in March and before the Kentucky Statewide ABC. Right now, I am shooting for Saturday February 20, 2010 for the first Western Kentucky ABC. We can probaly get some support from the Sourthern Indiana, Ft. Campbell, and the main Kentucky ABC's for our event. So here it is guys and girls... the official Roll Call for the first Western Kentucky ABC Event.

ROLL CALL

When: February 20, 2010
Where: TBD (Possibly Hopkinsville or Bowling Green)
Time: TBD
Who: The Members of the Western Kentucky ABC
1. jon_carter13 (Chapter Coordinator) plus my lifting buddy and my girl.
2. YOU!!!

There are tons of good places to eat in Hopkinsville. Ryan's and Shoney's are probably the best choices since they both have buffets. We also got O'Charley's, Chinese buffets, and El Bracero for mexican. If we do this in Bowling Green, there's good food there too.

Also, the main Kentucky chapter coordinator BamBam92 and I are working together to host a huge all-state Kentucky ABC. We still havn't decided anything solid, but it will probably be held in Elizabethtown the weekend before the Arnold.

LET'S DO THIS RIGHT GUYS!!!

Oh hell yeah it's growing. I'm hoping more Animals in the area catch sight of this thread, because the event is going to be awesome. I've also thought about it, and once it get's big enough, having a meet for charity. Have folks go out and get pledges for reps done at the ABC and gather the money and give it to a charity. Something to give back to the community ya know? I'm sure once I get back to Kentucky though I'll be able to spread the word better.

jon_carter13
08-28-09, 5:44 pm
Come on guys. I know there is still a lot of time before the event, but the more people we get, the better the event will be. It's been known that some of the pros come to events where there are large gatherings. Let's put Western Kentucky on the map and do this right!

08-30-09, 3:06 pm

You're always welcome to join us bro. We'd be happy to have you. I know Feb is a long day away, but I won't be back in the states until the end of this year. Feb will give me just the right amount of time to workout all the small details. Glad to have ya aboard. Make sure you sign the roll call when you get a chance.

Ok so i just started taking animal supplements and have already fallen in love with how they work! I have been looking for an ABC to join and this seems like the one that has the most promise for me. I live in NE TN, and I know thats about 5 hours away from bowling green or hopkinsville but I would still like to make the trip to come workout and get involved in the ABC if you are still going to meet in Feb. Is that alright with you guys?

You are always welcome to join us bro. We're growing fast, and the meet in Feb isn't something to be missed. I'm still ironing out the details. Keep training hard bro, and glad to see you on the FORVM.

There's also an ABC that meets near Lexington, KY which may be closer to you, but we'd love to have you at the W. Kentucky Chapter. BamBam92 is the ABC Chapter Coordinator for the chapter near Lexington.

Western KY Animals, what's good?

Just read your thread, and I was wondering if you guys would want to hook up in Evansville at one of our chapter meetings? We have 4 as of now, but our next one shoudl turn up about 7 or 8. We're trying to get ours off the gorund, and I thought I'd see if our chapters would want to hook up one time? Let me know how it sounds to you guys!

8th Annual post Mid Atlantic Grand Prix Ohio Valley ABC (say that 3x fast...lol)

November 12, 2017
Noon to ???
The Body Shop in Yorkville, Ohio

I'm going to try to get some of my junior high and high school kids to come and see what it's all about. I have some that are getting interested in lifting and I want to make sure that they get some good information from those in the know... I'd love to see some of the Animal Family at this ABC to share some stories and knowledge.

Any questions, please contact me!!!
