Just wanted to give a shout-out to Blockhead for letting me train at his ultra-hardcore gym Pumps Gym in East Chicago. It's an awesome gym and Blockhead is a beast. He's about 6' 250 and about 10% BF and dwarfs me.
I got to have dinner with Blockhead and The Beast on Friday night and we had a great time and lots of laughs. <Table Thump>
Thanks Blockhead for the hospitality. Chicago is a great city with great and friendly people.

It was my pleasure to play host to the Special 'Live from NY It's...' Ed! Too bad we didn't have more time because I would have taken you over to God's crib...you see most people don't know this but God Himself lives in Chicago for it is the greatest of all big cities.
Glad you liked Pumps Gym. My arms are sore today. Dinner was fun! 'THUMP!' Signed&Sealed, baby!!!

Lets get some pics of this place up dude!

I will. It might remind you of TEMPLE GYM but with 'vivid green' walls and no door on the bathroom.
davidpaul and the good ol' Block are supposed to be training together this week.
To all of those who wonder...'Special 'Mystery Man' Ed is as witty and as funny in person as he is on here. He has GREAT stories about the 'who's who' in the industry. Some of the knowledge he dropped on me about all the heroes we debate about daily on here left an impact on me like when 'Sonny' told little 'C' in the great film, 'A Bronx Tale'...'Mickey Mantle? Mickey Mantle makes 100K/year how much does your father make? Go tell Mickey Mantle your father can't pay the rent and see what he tells you...Mickey Mantle don't care about you so why should you care about him...nobody cares.'
When Special 'Truth Hurts' Ed left last night...I threw all my magazines away and tore down every picture on my gyms wall(s).
You people would be suprised!
-
theres no supposed about it dawg, hardcore training babyyyy
-
that's cool as fuck

Hey Block, can you give a brief description of your gym? Like what kind of members, what atmosphere, music etc? Might be looking for a new gym to get back my body back up to form in.
-
well it aint called pumps for nothing, it got all the pink dumbbells you could ever ask for along with a lot of rubber bands
;)

I want a Pumps Gym T-shirt!!!!!!!! :D

I will. It might remind you of TEMPLE GYM but with 'vivid green' walls and no door on the bathroom.
Which means Crap equipment, very few true BB who train there, no cardio equipment that is less than 16 years old, no natural light and the place smells......sound like fun? :D
Might as well train in your basement.

Cardio?... who cares... go for a walk outside I reckon

Bitch Pleeeease! You can stick to LIFETIME FITNESS out in suburbia, 'Luv2Hurt'. Keep paying all that money for child care, juice bar, internet access, hair salon, tanning beds, whirlpools, plasma screen tv's above the 'Precors'...
I have a sign on the door...'No Suburban P-ssies Allowed'. Right about the sign that says...'No N____'s!'

"no one with superior genetics allowed"

'Luv2Hurt' trains at the softest of softcore corporate chain gyms in Chicagoland. LIFETIME Fitness. It makes Planet Fitness look like 'MetroFlex'. I walked into one once time to buy a 'protein drink' while I was en-route to some place els once...I walked in there is a giant fishtank on the wall...a hair salon in the place, old chinese ladies giving uppity yuppity women pedicures while the chat on their cell phones with sliced cucumbers on their eyes...it had 'adult contempory' music playing ever so softly...it had a section with leather furniture with a coffee table with 'Wall Street Journal, NY Times etc...' on the coffee table.
He probably pays $50-$60/ month to go there and on top of that...he buys FAKE 'gear' from a guy who is KNOWN to sell fake gear.

When I am visting home, I train at the hardest gym in chi-town, "Robert Taylor Homes" 8) 8) I owe this body to them and Cabrini Green 8)

Oh I know those gyms...
There isn't a juice bar in those gyms but they do have a cooler filled with Colt-45's and St. Ives instead of 'Pure Pros' or 'Speed Stacks' or any ABB drinks.
They train real 'jail house style' up in 'Da Greens'.
No...honestly the ebst gym NEAR Cabrini Green is the 'Crunch' gym over on Chicago/Orleans...
It used to be a Gold's Gym and 'Crunch' left the equipment the way it was and didn't 'commercialize it'. It's still somewhat hardcore.

LMAO dawg now thats some funny sh*t!! See I knew I would get you tripping. Again I dont train at Lifetime, I would not like it there either, altough you have been in one, I have not. I train at X-sport in suburbia this is true. Fake gear bro why you gotta put me on front street? And yes a broke ass scrub like you could not afford to train there. Living in your parents basement dreaming of a 35K a year job, come on now lets do this for real. I will come down to your gym and train with you Micks (can say that cause Im half Mick) and show you panzys how its done......That hell hole got a squat rack?

Oh, SHIZNIT!
My bad, G...snap! I be a Mic to..half MIC half SPIC! A SpicMic...youknowwhatIms ayin?
Honestly, I know you don't train at LIFETIME. I just like to giv you static. We have a couple mutual 'friends' in common. You train at 'EXPORT' Arlignton?
I go there to (Niles or Elston).
The 'fake gear' was just a 'warning to you'. Careful with the stuff comming out of the northwest burbs...
I be got a squat rack up in thurr...up in thurr! PM me for details...
-

I will bro, and you know I was just speaking out of jealousy with that basement and job stuff, Everyone in Chi town knows Blockhead is living large, has a penthouse in marina towers with a lake view and rolls around town in clean ass cars, Benzos and Bentley if I remember correctly. Hos always trying to get with him. I was just so damn jeleous of the player that I had to lash out, my bad.

Im out In Saint Charles, I think there are like 18 of em now. That one in Naper is the newest.
-
I got some 20's up on them to! I wear real clean fresh jeans and an all white shirt...I'm always making money and smokin that perp...
Cuz I'm fresh in my WHITE TEE they glance at my WHITE TEE...and I got a hat that match my pants and my WHITE TEE...whoever that you might be I know they got a WHITE TEE!
Hit me up, yo! Midwest Ironman. Dec-9th. Cutler to guest pose. I need some GETBIG back up there...PowerRod, what say you?

Did you go to that CONTINENTAL show last September, in St. Charles?
-
Did you go to that CONTINENTAL show last September, in St. Charles?
No I didnt had some comitments, but heard they had a pretty poor turn out. I hope they try it again as that show goes way back. Im gonna do the one in Ottawa end of March have not been on stage in years, but Im ready to do it again, hardcore diet starts new years day. Cutler is guest posing that one too.
-
I did that show last yr. I placed 7th out of 13 guys. Not BAD...but I could have done better. I weighed 220 on stage..should have been under 215 to be more competitive...according to Chuck/Ernest B.
That is always a good show. Great turnout and very organized. Jeff and Ann do a great job.
Cutler is guestposing. Jeff/Ann usually get different BIGNAME guest posers every year and this time it was Jay. The 'Chicago shows'...it's ALWAYS the same guest poser every single time. Cook or Jay.
That's a great show to do!
The St. Charles show was good. Great turnout and deep competition. I think a middleweight won the overall.

Yes Jeff/Ann do a great job just like you said very organized, stuff usually starts on time. Yeah they had dexter last year I heard. So the STC show was good thats cool to hear so they may have it again next year, a couple of my buds who really dont go to shows said they were dissapointed, thing is they think everyone should look like MR Olympia or something, its a local amature show! ::) A trainer from my gym took the womens overall, she is awsome Janna S, short platinum hair.
Man that dude Ernest B has been around forever!!
