Does anybody know if there is a T - Cell organized for the Chicagoland area? If not anybody intrested?
a couple weeks ago there was a call for people from illinois that went nowhere. i’m in naperville, and up for it.
I missed that post…I live in Lincoln Park and train at the powerhouse there on lincoln/school.
I can’t believe we can’t get anybody from Chicago area to get together. I live in Westmont and hate all the gyms in my area and I have found very few people who know what they are doing and like to train heavy. It would be great to get together with people who aren’t full of shit. Who have the same enthusiasm for strength as I do. Instead all I find is peole who lie about their lifts to try to impress me, but when you are a 135 lbs and till me you can bench “at least” 300lbs I want to hit them and I stop talking to them. I am 6’1" 360. I am fat but not a fat pig. I am a big guy. I have been lifting on and off since HS but I recently got serious. this last year. We need to get the word out about T-mag in Chicago and stop dicking around. We need to set a day and call all Chicago T-Men and T-Vixens to arms. Lets get something going. In an area as big as Chicago land we sould be able to get a good amount of people together.
I should mention I have limited access to a computer so I will only be able to check in once and a while. So lets all get working and set something up!!!
Hey PGH where do you work out? I live in the southwest suburbs not far from you.
I am willing to meet up with people. I live in Schaumburg (& use LifeTime there) but work in Streeterville.
Maybe we should set up a dinner or something in Aug or Sept just to get people together to meet at first. Anyone have any ideas?
I have just sent a message to TC asking him to put an invite in the mail section. For any one interested to come to this forum.
otomix,
I work out at X Sport in Darien. The only thing good about the place is it 24 hours and it isn’t too expensive.
Where to you work out?
I haven’t been on the forum for a while, but I am also in Chicago. Like DanK, I work out at the Powerhouse on Lincoln/School (I’m about to head over there right now). I’d be interested in setting something up too to motivate my ass.
A Chicago T-cell definitely has my support.
TC will be posting an invite I sent him in next weeks mail to come to the forum. So start thinking of Ideas of what to do. I assume once we see where every one is from that will dictate where we should meet and when.
I am a student and I recently moved into the ‘el’ area. I want to find a gym that is not expensive and will let me perform all of the beasly exercises I have picked up from t-mag. I would be interested in training with others from the area.
And Yes, I DO bench 300.
The thing I need to work on is my body weight - 175

Animal,
I do not kow what you consider the ‘el’ area since the ‘el’ goes all over the city. Ther are a ton aof gyms in the city. I would look into Quads Gym. It is owned by Ed Coan. it is 75 bucks a month but I know they have a reverse hyper machine. they also have no contracts. If you do a serch of the forums with chicago someone asked this same question and you might find the responses helpful. I know some of those resposes were like Gorilla Gym and Quads.most gyms will deal on price especially if you are a student.
PGH,
I also work out at your gym. I split time between that one and the one in Bolingbrook. I am just getting back into the gym after taking a short sabbatical
I live in St. Louis. It’s only 4 hours away. Can I take part?
Missed the earlier calling. I live in the Western Suburbs and would be interested in a meeting.
JW,
Everyone is welcome. If you don’t mind a drive. I am getting stoked. I hope everyone is thinking of something to do. Lets say mid to late sept.
Spidey,
If your ever in the gym at 4 in the morning come by the free weights and you might just see me. I have been in the gym since January after a litle time off and I have dropped 60 pounds since then. I am sort of sick of fat burnning work outs so I am currently doing on of Waterbury’s work outs. it is nice to do strength stuff insted of fat burning.
I’m busy sept 27th. I’m going to the Illinois v Wisconsin football game. Don’t be jealous.
I would be interested. I live in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area. I have worked out at both the Powerhouse and Quads mentioned but I don’t want to pay for a membership when I still have an old Bally’s memebership that I pay $12 a month for.
Hey PGH sorry about the delay, I work out at the Powerhouse in Hickory Hills. It’s ok but alot of dickheads doing curls in the squat rack with real bad form.
It has been a while I hope y’all haven’t lost hope on the T-cell. It looks like this is it, so lets set some thing up. I am throwing out October 4th as a date. The place we will have to discuss and if any of you want to meet before then send a message and we will talk. JW has a long drive. The rest of us are split Burbs and city. If anyone has a suggestion on where to meet, throw it out. I hope all is well with you all and I hope to hear frome each and every one of you.
