Don't forget gloves. Also, Grant Higa advised that tarmacs are slippery, so wear shoes with good grip. Please bring extra Animal T's (for those who will need one), and don't forget cameras. My dad is coming just to take pics and videos.
Finally, if you can, please print and fill out the waiver form ahead of time.

Team Animal pulled a 99-ton plane 20 feet in 16.94 seconds...excellent work boys! Pics and vids to follow. We also raised over $1800 for Illinois Special Olympics! Thanks again to everyone who came out and/or donated.

Thanks for putting this together Phil. It was an unforgettable experience!!! The rush after the pull was like no other!!
Yes Kudos to Phil for putting this together. I was happy to be a part of this with a great bunch of guys and feel honored that Universal helped us out with a wheelbarrow full of samples!
75% Awesome, 75% More Awesome (I don't understand math)

You heard the man.
I'm going to try and get this day off.
This gym is awesome, and it's a quick easy drive from the Chicago area. Like Chris said, right about two hours, if that. Just a hair over the border into the oven mitt.

I think Flower and I are going to carpool there. I will not let him use his GPS, because he sucks ass with it, that, and if I'm able to move into my apartment by November, I'll live like 10 minutes away from him.
Quick heads up for us, New Buffalo is in the Eastern Time Zone, so be sure to plan accordingly.

but a couple of things cuz im pretty new here, is anyone allowed to go? and do we all train together? or how does this all work out, thanks... big time

We would absolutely love to have you come out with us. It is pretty much open to anyone who wants to come out and sling the iron (preferably members of the FORVM).
As for how it works, we meet up at the gym, bullshit around a bit, lift like maniacs. Afterwards, we find a local place to eat, and put their kitchen staff to work.
A lot of the time, we train together, but different people have different training schedules, so it's all really open to what you decide to train.
