New on here

[Bbuildersteve]

Hello, everyone. New here, well I used to be on here many years ago, but never really got on since then and forgot my password, log, so screw it. Starting over.
Still trying to navigate these forums. Name is Steve, compete as a IFBB pro and been a personal trainer and coach since I was 19(now 40). Also, own a bodybuilding gym here in Columbus, Ohio called Flex Barbell.

I’m currently in prep for Masters worlds on September 1st, Legion Sports fest and possibly still Tampa Pro if I can pull it off. So I’ll try to post my progress pics, diet, cycle, the whole plan of attack. Below was my check in pics this morning. Currently 254lbs and I’m 5’10
Cheers to meeting yall.

Welcome bro, I worked in Columbus 2011-2013. The gym scene is way different there now. Back then Metro Worthington, Powershack and Old School Gym were pretty much it. Awesome physique.

Welcome (back)

It was World Gym a million years ago, then it was Metro Downtown, and now it's called The Pros Gym.

John did alot of videos ther, he also trained at Lifetime, Powershack, Metro Worthington, and the Metro in Dublin later called American Barbell...yeah I'm a nerd, but I miss my friend

I don’t think Cbum did, I had so many guests in and out, but for the Arnold I had to work for my Sponsors booth all weekend, so idk who all came in honestly. I did have a ton of strongmen and powerlifters come through the most.
Most out of town people stay downtown and go to The Pros gym. It’s easiest but gets insanely crowded.

Yeah we all miss Meadows. John was a true blessing. When I got into bodybuilding and started competing, I started working with a local trainer here Mike Davies, and wayy back in early mid 2000s we all used to train together sometimes. It was John, this other big ass guy who’s a retired pro Brian Yersky, Frank Thomas and myself. As a 18/19 year old, I feared those guys especially leg days.

Welcome (back)

My place is called Flex Barbell. I’m about 10 min west of where the Arnold Expo is always at. I just opened it 3 years ago during all the covid stuff. But, it’s Pros gym now. Used to be World Gym.

Nice. I worked for Metro at Hilliard location and when we used to be Worlds and the old Westside world gym location. Was with that company since 2000. I still go to Worthington once in awhile to get out of my place.
