Tim,
You have a thread started with old time stories of different places you trained with some of the now famous, some infamous, and not so famous people that brought a lot to the world BB and to all who enjoy the brotherhood. I found it great reading but, have lost my bookmarker for it’s location. Could you possible point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

I could add a few to that myself, had some good workouts with Boyer, Flex, and I got picked on by the Barbarians once, it was actually funny in the end and I have a very good Quinn and Christianson story about Inclining heavy DBs...

Back in the early 90s I was in the gym I train at now and I was doing legs, you know the stupid training fool like myself who does 50 set workouts with legs cause I figured they were too small and not very strong, so anyways, after I warmed up with leg extensions I moved over to the leg sled, I started with 4-5 plates per side and settled in to have some fun on this contraption, soon after my 2 or 3 rd set I start smelling food, like fast food, yup it was Taco Bell, my favorite, would sell my mom for 20 burrito supremes, so Flex is resting on a bench about 10' away from me just enjoying the food and flexing his abs in the mirror, bast*rd, so he says to me, "how many more sets you got big man", as I looked behind me to see if he was talking to me I said, "well I like to do these til I get tired, no set number of sets", he said, "kool, can I work in with you", I said sure, well we got up to 12 plates a side and we were doing sets of 15-20 reps and he said, you tired yet, I was starting to feel them but no way was I going to give up, "ego reps" were about to come in, we had 4, 100 lb plates in this gym at that time so we placed those on the top of the rack, man I was scared they would come crashing down, so he got down and puped off 9 reps, I thought sh*t, no way can I let this guy shopw me up, hell he is only a pro right, so I did 10 with my eyes popping out of my head and after I almost died after that last rep he said, "well I guess you showed me who was boss, I will be right back need to get the rest of my food", as he walked away I collasped on the floor for like 20 minutes, he then proceeded to do Hacks, Lunges and Calves, the man blew me away with his intensity as well as strength...

IH
Wow....My legs are dead just adding up the pounds...Good Story. Do you live the San Diego area?
I visit friends that live in the Rancho Penasquitos area last month and hope to head back again in November. I lived SD in 83' and worked out at the Family Fitness gym on Balboa Ave. The area certainly has busted out at the seams in the last 20 odd years.

Great story IH........and people say Flex wasn`t intense!!
It`s weird how when we train with someone new,we can rise to the occasion to try to prevent that person from burying us.
I used to do that all the time........but never with someone of Flex`s caliber..........you animal!! :Rocker Dude:

Barbarians, man they were really a fun thing to watch at Gold's in Venice, one day they were in the Squat Rack you know doing the light weight they normally do 7,8 and 9 per side for almost good form, they spit in each others faces and slap each other and make fools of themselves, so anyway I was over at the Decline Bench and I was trying to move some weight, it was my first exercise that day and after warming up I was about to do 455, well Peter came up and said, "hey Paul, look this little guy is gonna try and do this little weight", I just smiled and did 8 reps, Peter than came back with, "oh man I think this little guy is tough", they both walked back over to the Squat Rack and continued with thier face slapping and spitting on each other, so I got to 5 plates a side, Peter comes running over and asked if I needed help with my small weight, I said sure I will take a spot, so I got off 5 reps, he said, "step aside youngen", layed on the bench and did 12 reps, then Paul came over and started calling his brother a pu**y little whimp and Paul got on the bench then he did it 13 reps, ok now it was a war, hell I pulled up a chair and grabbed my water this was gonna be good. Well after all the yelling and name calling and slapping each other they got up to 6 plates a side with a 25, so Paul got on the bench took it off and could not move it off his chest, I got up right away to help out and Peter said, "nope leave it there for a while, teach this punk ass a lesson", so we just stood there watching Paul almost ready to explode, I mean this went on for like 3-4 minutes, then Paul said, "if you don't help me with this I am goona tell mom you are a assho**e", Peter grabbed the bar and lifted it to the uprights and they both at the very same time said to me, "hey little one strip the weight", my being the brash Detroiter I am I said, "how about I pull a Detroiter on you guys and beat both your asses and steal your wallet and call the cops and have you both arrested", they laughed so hard the gym thought there was a comedy show going on, after they came to grip with themselves we all emptied the bar and then they asked me to come Squat with them, I said, "no thanks guys, I am doing upper body today, thank god"...
