      Looking forward to it. Feeling beat up from my schedule, and an extra leg session. Hoping eight hours of sleep gets everything feeling right. Taking extra A7 and protein.

      Next ABC...

      So, starting to go ahead and get some rough plans together for the next ABC, hoping to get a big turn out this time. Looking at April time period, mainly because it'll be spring and Deanna will be in town, so IF it works out with her schedule and she can make it, sweet!!!! If not, we'll still rock it like always. For whoever is interested, let me know so we can start building this thing up. It'll be a big way to start off the summer and get everyone hyped for some serious training. For the bros/gals who live a lil ways away, plenty of time to start planning for the trip now!! Those who have came down to Elite before to train know the atmosphere and how awesome it is to grab a workout there. Not to mention you'll have Joe almost ready for his show, i'll be 8 weeksish out, and of course many powerlifters and strongmen, not to mention strongman pro Adam Scherr will most likely be there throwin his normal 800lb+ deadlifts for reps around, hot off his Arnold debut. Were gonna throw this shit DOWN this time around guys & gals.

      Since we're starting to gather dates now, should be no excuse for this thing not to be huge!

      Still throwing this out here, trying to see if any one is interested. Seems forum activity is a lot less than what it used to be, so trying to see if any one wants to get together for an ABC in the Carolinas

      I would be in, pending ABC date and work calendar.... lots of traveling this year so far.
      To make PROGRESS, you have to learn to be COMFORTABLE with being UNCOMFORTABLE.

      Those who worry the most about overtraining are the ones that don't train HARD enough and aren't STRONG enough to need to worry about it.

      I see we have a few more guys in the forvm now living in NC, thought I'd give this a bump. I'm always game for a good ABC. Great time to get some lifting in, eating in, and just all around iron comradery. If anyone is interested, hit me up. Doesn't HAVE to be around Charlotte, we can do it further north or west if needed too.

      Again, just throwing out the bump in here. ABCs use to be a pretty big deal and a great time. Seeing if any interest out there

      Still just bumpin this around to see who in the area would be game. Even if you have friends who are not on the Forvm but would like to get in on an ABC, that's fine. The more the better.
