Gyms in my area are aimed at the fitness/techy crowd, not to many if any BBers around save for a couple of us here and there. Well, I met this dude, a powerlifter, at the gym I use, and after a bit he got one or two young dudes lifting for strength. Soon, he had about 5 dudes going ape shit lifting, training primarily chest since that is what he plans to compete in a few months from now.
Powerlifter dude (I'll refer to him as PL from here on out) and I quickly became friends, found out he runs gear, blah blah blah. Soon, some of these young cats were asking me for advice on training and diet, and of course I obliged. Now, we have dudes training for hypertrophy, starting clean diets, and getting strong. Last night, 3 of us Ran the Rack, that bicep/tricep superset where you start heavy work all the way down to 5lbs and go right back up non-stop SF wrote about. Well, one dude wanted to start at 35 lbs, I convinced him to start at 40 or 45, he settled on 40, and proceeded as planned. BUT! he made it all the way back to one rep of 55. You should have seen the smile of pride and confidence on this dudes face (he is the smallest one of the bunch). Man, seeing these guys grunting and sweating, and making progress is fucking awesome. These kids grow fast as hell too 
All of these dudes need to bring up the legs, so I am going to get some leg training done for these cats, while PL is going to get their upper bodies strong as oxes. We got us a new wolf pack! One dude is aiming on pro-football and at 20 years old is built like a damn tank, he has some great genes, and is inspiring these young fellas to get stronger. PL is making these kids crank out a shit ton of weight, and volume, and keeping them focused on pure strength. I am absolutely digging this new environment. Always looking for new recruits to kick ass and make some gains. I saw one dude about to join in the RTR fiasco, but I couldn't convince him, he said next time. Well, folks, next time he's jumping into the pack no excuses. It's fucking hella fun creating a "Lets grind this shit out" atmosphere with some other folks. Its a damn dream I tell you. Sweat, grunts, fist pumping, and muscle pumps.
I am finding out that I can create the environment I want merely through inspiring others to aim high and work hard. Run the fucking Rack Wolf Pack. Even Running the Rack with single arm rows, Talk about sweat and gnashing teeth. These youngins got some fuckin grit, just gotta give em something to grind!If you want blood, you got it!
