strongman crew ???

[Arnell Castillo]

hey guys I was wondering if anyone would know of a strongman crew in san diego,ca ? i'm looking to start competeing and would like to find a group of guys to train with locally.

Check out Kegrice Gym. A few guys are training out of there. I think they hit events on the weekend. I trained there a couple of times and they had logs and stones you could use in the gym. I saw yoke, farmers etc. lying around.

Lots of PL stuff there as well. It a real hole in the wall place but Jim Kegrice is a great guy.

For strongman in San Diego, there are a couple of groups.

Chris Brock, Chris Bogart, and Ty Roberts train together in a small group.

Don and Kristin Rhodes and Joe Miller sometimes train in San Diego but sometimes drive to Downey to train with the Freak Factory.

Hey man, I'm training with Chris Bogart and Ty right now. Brock moved before I got here, I just started training. Kegrice gym moved to Chula Vista, so we've moved to World Gym for lifting and looking for a place to put the strongman equipment. What gym are you lifting at now?

I'm sure we'd welcome another member of the crew, have you ever trained events before? I just started recently and am planning on doing my first contest in January in Arizona..... shoot me a PM.

thanks guys !!!

Josh, get Ty Roberts to come out to AZ with you, that'll make your first contest even more enjoyable. I met Ty and his wife at Nationals, nice couple.

[Josh Kamins]

Yeah Scott good idea, I was thinking that last night. I haven't seen him since Nationals though, since we moved the equip. Event training has been off for last two weeks and this one too. Hopefully we'll get things going again soon.

What did I tell you, Arnie? You'll be training events with a good crew before you know it.
