      Yeah, it could get tricky, but I think a lot of people would jump at the chance. I know that Richard Hawthorne invited people in to critique their deadlifts during his portion and people loved that, so it just gave me the idea. I would have no issues with having someone do it, but I know a lot of lifters can be more specific about who they have helping them.

      Not sure about a line up but there are going to a lot of awesome lifts! Also as far as ABC , I checked in that today and yes there is going to be a national ABC at a new location this year!

      Awesome!!! Thanks for the response. Even with the over crowded Gym last year we had the chance to squat with Rob “Savage” Hall so I’m definitely pumped about the new location.

      After last years mess the gym caused im am pretty sure that issue wont happen again. If last year was any ones first National ABC then you are in for a real treat this time!!! Animal always does a great job on it and last year was out of the hands of Animal but I know this year will be so much better!!!

      Yeah, last year was my first go-round, and the whole thing was just...wtf. Definitely not how I’d heard it described in the past, lol. I had like 20 dudes staring me down while I was deadlifting downstairs because I got there before them and used up all the 45s...and some dude was trying to do a photo shoot with some girls in the corner between my sets. I could tell it definitely wasn’t the sort of event animal was trying to put on.

      It was an awful situation last year, none of which was in our control. Thats not how it usually is. This year's will definitely be better!

      Oh yeah, don't judge the ABC on last year's cluster**** ... This year will be better... It's at a different location, not as "close" to the venue as before, but the short jaunt will be worth not having to deal with last year's mess, I'm sure...
