Any fellas interested in heading to the NY Pro to see the pro debut of Evan "Ox" Centopani and have an ABC event around that?

Fellas are startin' to organize: Invalid Link Removed
 
wish i could make it to NY for it. will be a GREAT show, and another great ABC!
 
I know there will be a SoCal ABC at Gold's Venice sometime late april. I'll post details once we work it out. If you haven't hit it before, this would be a great excuse.

And we are planning a MuscleBeach workout and BBQ for June.

Nice. Here's the ABC Chapter: Invalid Link Removed

There are 2 Socal Chapters--this one is for the San Diego area: Invalid Link Removed
 
Update: Golds Venice is gonna be on May 2nd. Probably at 11am. Estimating 10 ppl so far. Might be more.

Also, we are having a smaller get together this weekend (28th) in San Diego at World Gym with Derik The Freak Farnsworth. Yes, the man who squated 405 for 25 in The Cage at the Arnold barely edging out Rage. Barely. And Rage will take him next year. ;)

So if you are in SoCal and want to see some amazing stuff you should come over. Lifting starts at 10am.

He's a great guy. We spent a good 15 min chatting over the course of the morning. Which was his leg day so I felt quite humbled that he'd break out some time to just talk.

We've got some pics up in the SoCal Forvm thread but my post count isn't quite high enough to post them here yet.

Speaking of - The Freak mentioned the Aug 22 event at World Gym. I know Universal had a nice booth there last year. The SoCal ABC group is going to be there in force. You guys making it in?

Derik said Jay Cutler, Brandon Curry and 13+ pros and figure ladies will be there.

Come On

Reminder to all the Ft. Campbell Animals out there: Invalid Link Removed

Trying to get this ABC up and running, not sure why no one has joined. I printed about 200 flyers, place around every Ft. Campbell Gym, but no one has signed up, even though most of the flyers are gone. If your having troubles PM me for direct links and other guidance.

Definitely!!! I'm proud to call him friend, mentor, and trainer...

I'm proud to smoke him in calf raises at the ABCs ;)

He is truly one of the best examples of everything - a friend, a competitor, a sportsman and a human being. We'd all be better off with more people like him.

Right here brother:

New ABC date is official... A great new gym in Delaware owned and operated by FORVM member UncleFester. He's trying to keep old school and hardcore alive, catering his facility to the needs of iron warriors and serious athletes, so we've gotta represent and show our support.

Where:
OSX Fitness
28 West Ayre St
Wilmington, DE 19804

When:
Saturday, May 2nd, 1pm

Little video of the last SoCAL ABC at Gold's Venice. If you want to see Rage in action then this is the video to see.
 
That video is from FireDrake - a member of the SoCal crew. Pretty good stuff. You should check out his journey if you haven't seen it before. I know Mr. Dead posts in there.

Rage has had him on an excellent diet and workout plan since fall. He's dropped something like 50 lbs. Crazy for someone about to turn 55 who has a titanium spine thingie.
