Hello all!

Cantide · 08-04-2005, 10:47 PM

Just signed up by way of my brother, Aqua-Beowulf. I suppose I will introduce myself as he did.

I am 23 years old, 6'2", and live in Lexington, KY. As I had mentioned, Aqua-Beowulf is my brother and trainer and while our philosophies of training have, in recent past, differed considerably, we both embrace bodybuilding's lost concept of aesthetics (instead of the mass monsters of today). Guess you could say we are old school.

I am an 'act on a whim' type of person, but have a great job as Director and Head Coach of USAG and USTA Gymnastics. I train to compete which I hope will be realized in a year or so. Gotta wait for Aqua-Beowulf to give me the okay on that.

Future plans consist of moving out to California and, well, living the American dream!

My brother gave mention to his kick ass gym he invested in. Hopefully he will jump aboard this thread and give some insight into it. But until then, I got a few pictures of his setup:

Gym Pic 4

It's great to be here and maybe my brother and I can stop bitching about BB.com forums...

In the near future we will do just that. We share a dream of someday opening a gym through joint ownership. The only way I could help with his current gym is by providing the picture series of Arnold that you see hanging on the walls, which rock.

Thanks for the welcome!

The smiley's alone are good enough reason to use this forum.

Ah yes... simply put, it's a flying robot that smashes the hell out of something with an electric guitar.

The original is located here (a little more clear):
http://tinypic.com/a0i1ir.gif

But I edited it by lowering the frame rate, color dithering, and color palette to fit the avatar image requirements. After all of the editing, it was difficult to see what it was. But I like it that way as it makes people say 'what the hell is that?'

It rocks in various aspects: robots, guitars, and smashing. :rock:

Geeze, I had to much spare time in the office today... :confused2

**powerman2000** · 08-05-2005, 05:18 AM

Great to have you here. And a gymnastics coach? Yikes, I remeber how hard my gymnastics coach would work us back when I was a kid! Gymnastics is no joke when if comes to strength, that's for sure.

:nosthumbs Hey bro! Man, I didn't realize you had posted already. Glad you joined. You saved me the trouble of posting some pics of the gym, as well. Thanks to everyone for the complements on the gym, and like Cantide said, we hope someday to open our own. As far as someone mentioning we could charge memberships already, you'd be surprised just how many people have hit me up about it.
