From Animal's Myspace page...
Where else but with Animal can you train with the pros like
Evan "Ox" Centopani and
Erik "The House" Fankhouser and the rest of the Animal Crew? Nowhere else but the Animal Barbell Club or the ABCs. With Over 100 chapters across the country and around the world, you never know when an IFBB pro is gonna show up to train with you and share a meal afterwards. That's what the ABCs are all about... Stepping up and lifting with other like-minded individuals. Then, after busting your balls, you share a meal. It's an experience unlike anything else, this brotherhood. You don't have to be big. You just have to have spirit. Any and all are welcome to attend a local ABC Event. Here are some key events coming up.
