The NJ chapter closed out the year with a big event. We hit up the hallowed halls of Diamond Gym. Diamond is widely known as one of the most hardcore gyms on the East Coast. All the champions from the NJ bodybuilding scene have trained at Diamond at one time or another.

We really want to thank Dwayne who is the owner of the gym (and a big strong mofo himself) he was a great host and has always been gracious to Animal.

What a dynamite turnout we had, not only did we have Vinny, Ox, The Giant Killer, Big Al, JoeyD, G Diesel, Big Wides, Scals, The Enforcer, Aggression, Treetrunklegs, Jay Anticoli, Greek Elite, Alk, Newbreed, Blkdragon, bon dons (I know there are more, sorry if I left you out) but we also had a lot of pro's and national level competitors come down to join the Animal crew such as Rodney Roller, Guy Cisternino, PJ Braun, Kris Lecompte and others. There was a lot of energy and a ton of weight being thrown around.

Here are my pics:

And to think, this may only be a warm-up for what Columbus is going to bring.
Awesome gym, great atmosphere, and a lot of heavy weight being thrown around = Successful ABC.

One of the best ABCs ever in my opinion... An awesome and very inspiring time. I'm lucky I had the chance to be there and am quite fired up from the experience.

I want to thank all of those who braved the elements to hoist some iron at Diamond and Big Dwayne and his crew for making us all feel so welcome. This is also a good opportunity to encourage all of you who haven't yet had the pleasure, to support your local ABC chapter and to come out and throw your hat in the ring if you can make the haul to come bang with my boys in Jersey. This is just the beginning, it is gonna be ON in 2010.

Peace, G

Looks like I really did miss a heck of an ABC gathering there. I've been to that gym a number of times and when it comes to old school gyms, it's hard to top Diamond. Good stuff fellas.
