Spreading the word...
Thank you Dee!
For me the hardest part is getting people to understand that we're NOT trying to get them to GO anywhere. I am going up to TN because I need to deliver the Big Pak Can to Appollonian and then I want to train outside and spend time with Boo and that part of my family. But this is NOT something YOU, have to travel to. You can participate right where you are, just log some sort of training and if you can't fathom how to train WITHOUT going to a gym, then it's high time you developed some inner freaking resources. Develop yourself to the point where all you NEED to train is you and space to move. This is a great chance to get creative and try stuff you've never done before if you won't be near a gym.
Point #2, This is not going to make or break your training program, heck call it GPP if you want but you probably just inhaled half of a normal week's calories over two days so you need to reset yourself anyway. Don't agonize over how it fits in your training template. Don't worry about your coach getting mad, you pay that dude so HE'S YOUR EMPLOYEE. Tell that dude you did calisthenics and farmer's walks with cinder blocks outside at your Dad's house for cardio. Whatever. JUST FREAKING MOVE!!!
then log your training in this thread AND/OR on social media if you already are on there. If you post pics on social media, make them black and white with the hashtags #Animal and #BlackFriday. Put those links in this thread also.
This is a Digital, hopefully nationwide ABC, heck I hope it goes worldwide but I'll settle for the continental United States for right now. After that, I'm looking at you Canada.
Gunrock, you could always use the power of social media, like.... It can be made into an "event" with invites and shares... (( we all receive those posts about "my teacher wanted to see how fast the word/pic/post would spread if I posted this on the internet." ))
This could grow...

I do want it to grow Dee. Since I am no longer on Facebook, I need some enterprising young (or young at heart) Animal to post it and share. I agree though that this has potential to be huge.

So, you felt the need to put "young at heart" in there?? lol

I'm in...no animal gear that fits me yet but hopefully one day some Animal 3x or 4x tall shirts will be available. So, just black on black random gear it will be. Looking forward to it.

There are hats, beanies, lanyards, patches, straps, gym bag, stickers, shakers, etc.... The possibilities are endless.... :)

Jersey Animals, Ohio Animals, TN and Georgia Animals making it happen!!
If you go in the Jersey Animals thread, you'll see that they're really getting the ball rolling with the Black Friday event. I can't wait to see videos and read the training logs from what everybody gets done. We've only got about a week to get the word out so keep spreading the word to EVERYBODY on here and beyond!! Don't assume that somebody has already heard about it. This is a grassroots event, I'm not asking Corporate to do anything other than sit back and read the thread to see what we can get done.
On that note, most ABCs have some free stuff sent out by Corporate. When Boo and I first discussed this, we talked about doing that as well, but the bigger this gets the more unwieldy it would be for them to get us ALL care packages on the same day and over a busy holiday to boot. So everybody can do what they like, but I'm NOT asking for anything. That doesn't mean we won't be enjoying some Animal products but honestly, my freaking stomach will probably be full anyway so I plan to buy stuff along with all of my other holiday shopping planning. (My wife is cool so she's just going to roll her eyes when I order Juiced Aminos for Thanksgiving).
Keep spreading the word. Our rebellion is growing.
I'm in...no animal gear that fits me yet but hopefully one day some Animal 3x or 4x tall shirts will be available. So, just black on black random gear it will be. Looking forward to it.
Very glad to have you with us Bean! Can't wait to see your training log for the day in here!
Am also in.
Having trouble getting a lot of stuff into Australia as our 'fearless leaders' keeping adding tax's on to tax's..
But ill participate as best I can, cut the logo off one of my yellow shirts and glue it to a black one if i must!
will print off signs at my gym tomorrow spreading the word. I'll be working there all day Black Friday trainging and sporting my all black animal gear.
Glad to see the word spreading! To me having the Forvm buy into this and make it take on a life of its own means everything.
Let's get make this happen. Four days left.
