Anywhere in ohio is good for me. Logistically, Cleveland is a good bet for people coming every direction.

Being the Cleveland Coordinator I obviously vote for Believeland.

There is one place that would be 100% Animal for such an event Old School Iron Gym has everything. Powerlifting Everything including 2 monos, Strongman, Bodybuilding with DB's up to 175 lbs, Prowlers, Tires, and more. He just had a few WWE stars recently stop by. The owner TJ has always been accommodating for us and held the Regional ABC years ago in his old spot (Iron Asylum) as well as many ABCs in between.

Let me know and I will give him a shout if we decided on here.

Steve you guys could drive to my house and then we could take my car from there or something.

I could drive from Columbus as well. Tark carpooled up with me to that last ABC there.

Madcat
09-20-13, 9:35 am
Hoping I can make it, but have a lot going on right now and in the next few months. It will be a game time decision for sure, and I'm Cbus as well, so car pooling would be ideal. Get about 27 in my Volvo and can fit 4 people total, just if we take Mark or someover over 6ft probably best to just take 3 total. But a caravan would be cool too.

I wanted to post and update and I expect to not have any impact. My wife is due on 12/20 w/ our third kid so in November I cannot be out of Columbus due to the fact that our son was a month early and if I was 3 hours a way she would be alone. So unfortunately if it is not in Columbus I doubt I can make out.

I'd love to be able to make it out to this, it'll just be according to where it'll end up being at. Columbus, I can definitely make it no problem. Cleveland, though, that's a long ass drive for me.
But even still, I'll wait and see what the general consensus is before comitting fully.

If you're going to include the Northern guys, you'll probably want to get with Derek and set something in Cleveland or maybe Big C in Akron...

Hey Chase, I will get with you this evening... I have a couple things to talk to you about... ((Hope you aren't suffering too much from a Vegas withdrawal...lol))

Lol... I gotcha... That's why I didn't post anything earlier, but looking at it, IF those northern folks are SERIOUS, the northern chapters are probably more feasible...

Either way, still 2.5 or 3 hours from me, so makes no difference to me... :)

We gotta make a decision. Columbus or Cleveland?

Cbus has my personal vote as 1. I'm driving 9 hours home from NJ to WV the night before and its closer..... and 2. all my WV boys want to roll with me and Idk if they will commit to cleveland.



When I say whats most convenient... think about EVERYONE who is coming collectively.

Either way I have AT LEAST a 2.5 hour drive to Cleveland or Cbus, so either is good...

If we choose Cleveland, IMO OSI is a good choice... Smoothballer, Freighttraindane, MAB, Cellardweller, Tark, and RedlegDbell can attest... It has something for all aspects of the game... Cincy/Dayton is having a great one this weekend, and not that Cbus isn't a solid choice, but we have been there several times...

Thats what I was thinking too. Maybe we should get an actual list together or poll or something? Don't wanna shut al those fellas up northeast and west out.

However, I'm 150% for headin south to ensure Trebin, Tark, and all of chase's boys can make it. No question about that.

If columbus works for alot of the travelers, everyone up northeast and west can get at me and we can get a central caravan going.

If Cbus is the general consensus then a gym in Cbus should be chosen. Some talked about Beyond Limits, is it big enough to hold the expected numbers? I know that it has everything needed for our guests, I will email Rich now and see what he thinks... BRB... :-)

Most badass, largest, welcoming gym in Cbus has my vote. I dont know the area outside so I'll leave that to the Ohio peeps. Trebins gym is supposed to legit I've heard.

I believe that's Beyond Limits... I messaged Rich, I'm sure I will hear something soon... I'm checking in between classes... I gave him all the basic info that I know, if I don't hear something back, I will call him after work...

He said that he is happy to have us there... I've known Rich from way back (before Beyond Limits) and I knew that there wouldn't be an issue... He is either going to text me this weekend or first thing Monday to solidify a time ... I will update as soon as I hear from him!!!

((I told him how happy Trebin was going to be...lol))

We've had people from Kentucky make it to Cleveland the last time..Bambam and his crew came up. It was one of the biggest non-National ABC's I had ever been to. I just don't wanna hear Cleveland isn't convenient because we were at least 40-50 deep that day. Maybe it was just organized better than this one seems to be.

Beyond Limits Training Is an AWESOME gym! Great for all. And they just finished remodeling the upstairs! Rich, Adam, Wendy & Terrell are fantastic people!

Oh I also worry about if BLT can hold the number of people coming. I had asked Trebin to ask Rich what he thought about 60, he said we were good for that amount.

We can always go to the Worthington Metrofitness, its huge.

One other reminder...when I first talked to Chase about doing this ABC he also wants to do this again in about 3 months. Keeping that in mind, if we do Columbus now then lets plan on Cleveland next. But we gotta have a good turn out.

I talked with Rich today and he said he would contact me Monday to confirm for Beyond Limits. I quoted a possible 50, since there hasn't been a sign up yet.

No matter the numbers that show, it's not about that (IMO)... Whether it's 5 or 500, it's the brotherhood and comoradery that matters most. I think some are losing focus on what the ABC's are about. It's not a competition.

All right, what's the final say on this ABC? Cleveland, Columbus, somewhere else?

No place is going to work out best for everyone and like everyone else I can guarantee my attendance in one place, Cleveland, and will do my best to get anywhere else. What I would say is that if we are going to get some special guests (Lilly, P Diesel, House, etc.) then Chase should reach out to them and see where they are willing to go which could impact the location. I think we would all like to see a final place determined.
