I think he means we’re training at 12 or 1 (I think thoughts told me noon on Facebook the other day) and then the food joint we’re going to doesn’t open until 5:30 so depending on how much we mess around at the gym, we might not get to dinner til 6 or so.
Am I the only one who is going to be bummed if we are not doing chest or deadlifting? Lol. I’ve got 4 chocolate FINiBARS packed with me, so I’ll be ready to lift all day as long as I’ve got those in me.
Oh! And I pray that someone has a stash of Spike on them that is going. I’m most likely pulling an “all-nighter” tonight (I’d have to wake up in 4.5 hours from now anyway) and I doubt I’ll get much sleep tomorrow night. I’m going to NEED a Spike! I’ll swap a FINiBAR for it, and if you haven’t had the new chocolate FINiBAR, you have no idea what you’re missing!
“I require a Spike Shooter” (throughts and Stu will get this) lol

Weak sauce i have done 5lbs and fries then cold stones biggest size of cake batter and still wanted more. I have pics to prove it 
Course i was only 170 at the time. Now at 190+ (finally) i could do even better :D[/quote]
Pics or it didn’t happen![/quote]

Not for a complete hijack, but I’m sure no one will mind more food talk.
That 5lb’er is beast, but I will tell you from having done a 4lb challenge before that it is much different doing multiple patties than a one frisbee sized patty. Even if the size is the same, the taste profile is gross and your taste buds want to give up well before you’re full.
With that said, you’d be a welcome addition to any eating challenge with that kind of capacity.[/quote]
Truth^^
I did a 4 lb burger challenge of one big patty. The outside were burnt and tasted like pure charcoal. My brother and I both did it and gave up because we wanted to throw up from the taste alone to begin with. I made 3/4 through and had to stop.

Lol yeah he just said “minados doesnt open at 530” and that kinda confused me. Thanks for reminding me to pack more than 1 FINiBAR, i also should have learned by now to bring a bigger water bottle to these things.
As for deadlifting, not sure if i’m doing that yet or not, hopefully Bev’s has the deadlift thing to lift up the bar to put plates on and off.

I’ll prob be front squatting if anyone wants to join : ).
Will be sipping on my aminos cursing all of you FINiBAR junkies.
hehe I love that I’m not gonna be the guy suffering with his food from a cooler for a change 
Yeah, Minado’s doesn’t start their ‘dinner’ until 5:30, but you want to get there early because it gets insane. Also, they always have a huge plate of sashimi out when they first open the doors, so i like to make sure I grab a good 5 lbs of Tuna for myself!
Definitely load a cooler with some Met Drive to fill the time between training and dinner. Bev’s is a huge facility, so I’m assuming we can find some unused space where big E can go over his posing for a bit.
Gonna be a great day!
S
Yeah, I meant ‘until’. Sorry for all the confusion.
Ashy, I have Spike Shooters, so I guess I found something to trade with you. How many you need?
Pretty excited for tomorrow.
Just to sum it up for anyone that may just be popping into this thread:
Bev’s Powerhouse Syosset NY
Tomorrow (Sunday 10/9)
Workout: 12pm-whenever we finish, prob around 2-3ish
Eats: Minados @ 5:30
You guys are going to be working out…while I’m stuck…ripping walls down.
I don’t think I have to point out how upset I am! I was ready to wake up at 4am and use public transport to make my way down there this time too 
Hope you guys have fun! Take some pictures or video footage or something haha
Triceps are sore. Traps are sore. Biceps are sore (damn you, reverse-grip shoulder presses).
Sorry I couldn’t make the chowdown again. I’m sure it was a sight to be seen.
You guys rock.
Definitely a hell of a good time. BSed for a lil bit when we first got to the gym, then everyone went off and hit what needed hitting on that particular day. Chris hung with me destroying delts n’ tris, Thoughts n Ashy did deads, Big E made his legs even scarier, Parsely did,… well, honestly I have no idea what he did -lol, and Cat and Heather (Ashy’s girl) did chest, delts and tris.
After we each took our respective beatings, Thoughts n’ I put E-Bomb through his paces and gave what I truly believe are some great pieces of advice on his poses (mandatories as well as specifically how to emphasize his strengths).
Sure these little get togethers are great in a social gathering sort of way, but being able to talk ‘shop’ is something I don’t really get to do very often. If anyone reading this has the chance to pop in on one of these and hasn’t yet, it’s undoubtedly a worthwhile experience.

I definitely think I saw his eyes roll into the back of his head as I was filming and I thought for sure he was about to pass out . . . . then he busted out another dropset lol. That dude knows how to work!
I’ve got the vid edited but it takes a bit to upload and I’m pretty swamped so I’m going to upload it tomorrow morning so I don’t have to have the computer light on all night.
It was a GREAT time and I hope we’ll be able to do it again come December if I make the trip back up to PA. Hopefully next time I won’t feel like crap and will be able to really put Jonathan to shame on deadlifts haha jk thanks for the Spike, Jon!
Here it is.
I’m really looking forward to meeting up again.
In the background for about half the video is me picking E-bomb’s brain lol

If I can summarize the vid: Badass hack squats, Badass deadlifts, More badass deadlifts, @7:26 A Wild Stu Appears, @7:50 A Wild Stick Figure Appears (Geez Louise, I need to eat), Welcome to the gun show, Parsley rows while Thoughts “takes a rest”.

Ha, that’s half the reason for getting the gang together, man. And really, probably the best part.
Definitely looking forward to next time. But Stu, you might want to edit the thread title. I don’t know if it still counts as a “Summer” meetup.
LOL at “welcome to the gun show”… Thats what ashy must have been doing when he snuck off

Cool. Now we can post in here for our eventual February meetup and not get confused, ha.
Hocus-cadabra. Newport News. Walla Walla Washington.
After randomly bumping into Stu and Cat at a Chipotle yesterday, I’m totally convinced that burritos are magic. The tacos are telling us to get the band back together, guys.
Thought this thread was worth a bump anyhow. December is ridiculously busy, not a weekend in the next few weeks that isn’t already filled with some sort of running around, but maybe we can start figuring something out for… whenever. New Year’s Day liftathon in January, perhaps?
