To all the Tennessee Animals and the surrounding states. I am starting up this thread to get an ABC going on October 1st, @12 noon in Jackson, Tennessee at Gold's Gym.

http://www.goldsgym.com/gyms/tennessee/jackson/216

I am in the military and will be home during this time in South Mississippi. I will be traveling up to McKenzie, Tenn to watch my son's college football game at 630pm that night. I thought it would be a good morning to put an ABC together. I have already contacted Big Byrd(regional coordinator) and G Diesel and Naturalguy. So if we can get more than just 1 or 2 guys, we can get this thing to happen. I am working on coordination with the gym right now. Also, I am not from the area and will need recommendations on where to eat afterwords.

So untill I get all the nitty gritty details

Starting up roll call.

Peace, G

GUNS

Official count:

Guns
Hooker +1(Hooker, we need your +1 to sign in on the board)
App(if baby waits for it)

What color shirts do you guys have. I have white, red, OD green. Plus Black "shut up and train". Let me know so we can plan this out and if I need to buy a shirt, I have time. I am going to put this on the Animal calander.

It's just crazy that we are having a Tennessee ABC, with no official Tennesseean's signed up.

Also, let me know if spouses or others will be there.

Appollonian
09-07-11, 2:49 pm
I have a red and a yellow shirt... just the iconics.

I spent the majority of my life in TN... but was born in the North.

Come on TN, represent!

MRmichael.hooker
09-09-11, 12:56 pm
I have the red animal tshirt, yellow animal tshirt, white animal tshirt, od green animal tshirt, yellow universal tshirt, yellow universal tanktop, and the "im not hear to talk" tshirt.

We better get more than 3 or 4 people! I'm working on deanna & katie(fitprincess) to make the drive together down from ohio, only about 6hrs for them

GUNS
09-09-11, 12:59 pm
That's awesome Hooker. The more the better. I think we should go red then. Looks like that may be what everyone has right now. I am going to put us up on the calander next week. Will notify corporate, and try to get the care package sent out so we can sign the banner and some other goodies.

My wife gave them a call and it will be $15 for the day, $10 with military ID. She told them a bunch of guys will be coming in that are associated with Animal. But did not talk to them about an ABC. I think we are good. I wil make all the notifications. I am gonna buy me an Animal tank and get my wife a red iconic.

Hooker, you may still want to give them a call and let them know whhat the ABC is. Plus ask them about a good place to get our grub on after. I hope you will stick around for an extra hour to chow, even if we just hit up a burger or something simple.

Ok let's keep this thing rolling and everyone get in here so we can make it a good get together!

So did we decide on what animal tshirt color? And what are we training

Appollonian
09-15-11, 12:56 pm
If I come, I would probably be hitting squats... and I also have the black '77 and the yellow '77. As for the baby, the little guy seems to be on schedule for November, but I don't want to 'jinx it'.

GUNS
09-15-11, 5:28 pm
I was thinking red. Seems most have red. And it needs to be Animal since it is an ABC. That will be either a chest and Bi, or Shoulders/tri day for me. But Im game for whatever except legs. knee is still giving me issues.

it will work out best for me for chest or shoulder, but if we can plan it now, i can go ahead and adjust my split for that week, recovery wise. But last thing i wanna train is legs, since ill be driving home 8 hours after lol

GUNS
09-16-11, 12:16 am
Ok chest and Bi's or chest and tri's

GUNS
09-17-11, 3:09 pm

GUNS
09-17-11, 4:51 pm
Hope it is legal, but I PM's a bunch of the guys in the original Tenn ABC thread. But alot of those are from 07-10.

Ok guys, Red shirts. If you dont have one, try to pick one up before then.

I take it you got my PM. Awesome RSTRAD! Glad to have you. Was beginning to think it would only be 2 - 3 of us.

As of now, I know me and Hooker will be doing Chest and tri or bi's. I think App said he would like to hit up legs. So feel free to jump in. Even if you want to hit up back or shoulders. We can have all body parts going all around Gold's.

And we are wearing RED Iconic's.

Hooker, since your going to be in town on Friday night. MAybe you can research the grub down spot before we meet. And it's not in my pants! LOL!

Let's keep pushing this and getting the word out.

Appollonian
09-20-11, 4:28 pm
If I can make it, I can hit up some shoulders. I will have to rearrange some things, but I want to mix it up with you fellas... if.

It's ok, GUNS and I have seen children birth before. We can help out if she goes into labor @ Golds. Lol, jk. Man, what an eventful ABC that would be!

Other note, Guns, did you get the carepackage yet for the ABC? And how far will you be from Jackson on next Friday?

Getting close fella's. Getting excited for the ABC!

Have not heard back from corporate on the ABC package at all and we only have 3 days till Im heading up. Not looking like it will be here. So we will have to make due with the Animal red shirts for the pic!

I also ordered my wife a red but don't think it will make it here either. So she will be in white Animal Iconic. Just wear what you got but red is the goal.

Appollonian
09-26-11, 2:54 pm
This hurts to say, but I won't be able to make it. Various reasons I talked about in my 'journey', but things have caught up with me and can't make it.

At least the baby is coming that early, haha.

Just found out that personally I won't be able to make it but I'm trying to convince the other guys to go. I have to run the Wing festival going down on Second and Broadway in Nashville on the 1st. Really bums me out because my VP told me it looked good until he found out he has to do work with the Predators...I will post more on the friends plans but I'll make sure they push some weight for me....

The only reason you'll disappear App, is because your head will be way out of camera range to get all 3!

Candie
08-12-16, 12:21 pm
Hello, my name is Candie and I have been lifting for 18 years. I did a few bench competitions many years ago but mainly I lift because I love it. I am really interested in competing in full powerlifting but know I could use a little guidance (programming, technique, etc.). There is no one at my gym who competes in powerlifting or even trains like a powerlifter. I read and watch a lot of videos on the sport but I don't have anyone who can give me feedback. I live, work and train in Jackson. Thinking of competing as a Novice at the Nashville's Main Event Oct. 1. Hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks.
