Alright guys. There's been talk floating around and I've posted here and there about this on my thread and a few of the Ohio threads; I figured why not make it official?
A little while ago Steve contacted me about trying to get some of our regular Ohio crew together in Middletown at Power Station. The idea was to see friends about a month out from the Cage, bc let's face it, we're family and we really just can't wait to see everyone. I sent a few texts out and as word has been passed around the list of people planning on coming has gotten bigger and bigger. So I want to get an official head count rolling.
Date: February 7th
Time: 2:30PM
Where: Power Station - 4343 S Dixie Hwy, Middletown, Ohio 45005
Food: To be decided
Power Station is Mike Ferguson's baby. Mike is a former Marine and State Highway Patrolman. Power Station has many machines I've never seen before. Mike has collected mono-lifts, sledge hammers, dumbbells, bands, boxes, and stuff that I have no clue what it's for. He has a dead lifting platform, prowlers, sleds, wheel barrows, and a strip of green turf to do crazy fun things on. Power Station is attached to a place called Xtreme Fitness which is a Crossfit box and MMA studio combined. You will see an array of power lifters, body builders, physique competitors, Olympic lifter, crossfitters, and MMartists. It's really a melting pot of fitness. He's got two pit bulls, Charlie and Carson, who roam the gym. There are chalk buckets abound and Mike even has a "wall of fame" with pictures of athletes he's trained.
I cannot express enough that this is really the PERFECT place to have an ABC, especially (as Steve called it) a PreCage ABC- a month out from the National ABC. A month out to get us all pumped up and rearing to go. A month out to spread the word, make people aware of the Arnold and of The Cage itself.
Let's DO THIS!
