I me got a single "prototype" of an Animal duffel bag. Rather than keep/test it for myself, I'll send it out to one lucky member. Animal is looking for some feedback on this one. So if ya use a gym bag and wanna give this one a road test, post here. This bad boy is a classic, lightweight duffel, 24" long and 12" in diameter. One zippered side pocket, a zippered pocket on one end, and one main compartment. Handles for your hand and a shoulder strap. Definitely no frills. Animal logo. This is a one of a kind bag and may never be made again.
Eligiblity:
Open to all.
Requirements:
Gotta bust your ass in the gym and be willing to put this bag through its paces. Afterwards, you'll be required to provide a detailed report on the bag--the quality, the durability, usefulness, how much you'd pay for it, etc.

My duffle bag is my briefcase, it is my life. Everyday, I throw it in the back of my SUV and take it with me everywhere I go. In it, I keep my gym gear, my stuff for my athletes, meals, even my school stuff. It's gotta be tough, big, and it's gotta represent.

Traveling from work to home I put in 90 miles a day for work I leave at 430am arrive at the gym at 515-530 with trusty bag in hand...Do my training and pull a shake and a meal out of my current bag....change for work and throw it in the trunk...arrive at work drag said name bag to office take out protien and supps and meals in the mini fridge in my office.....at 4-430 leave office drag my bag once again to the car and go back to the gym for some cardio and abs......shower up and change once again and start my journey home....take the bag out of the car empty dirty clothes and pak wrappers and repack for the next day....rest and repeat monday-friday and take a trip to the gym on everyother saturday.....
I think that I can put any bag to the test...I have gone through 2 so far this year with wear and tear....straps bust, zippers break...shit happens haha

I would love to test this as my gym bag is not an ordinary gym bag, but my war bag. It is the thing that I take into war with me every session, every training day. It carries the supplies that I need to wage the battle that I fight to be better, stronger, leaner and to become who and what I want to be. The bag I carry is required to handle all that is thrown at it and in it. It can't be flimsy or weak and neither can I. My bag is me, and it carries my lifeblood to the gym. And to represent Animal and myself with such a bag would be an honor.

I've gotta test this bag.
I put gym bags through their praces so easily.
My current bag is held together by duct tape and superglue, the straps are broken on both sides, which I knotted through the metal holsters.
I'm toss everything in my gym bag and carry it around campus all day long.
And I guarantee you'll get an honest write-up from me.
Wow, great opportunity.
I will be buying one as soon as it's available.

i can test it here in delaware at The Training Center, i don't think there is another gym locally that is worthy of such gear....plus my bag doesn't fit in the new lockers and has seen better days....duct tape only holds a bag together for so long lol

I'd love to give this thing a test run for ya. I currently use an old beat up backpack I've had since like the 3rd grade. If anyone beats their gym bag up, Its me. I keep all the essentials in there, everything I need to get work done.
I'd love to sport the animal bag.

I might as well throw my name in the hat. I currently don't have anything to carry my stuff around with me. Sometimes I use my backpack from school, but an Animal duffel bag would be much sweeter... Oh yeah, and Santa Claus, it would be merry if one of those yellow shirts somehow found it's way in that duffel bag if I win.

Pick me. I'll put it through the paces. Just got my girl into training, and carrying my belt, straps, wraps, shaker, pak cans, plus her crap is too much for my old bag...

I carry 3 bags around with me everyday. One is my laptop/messenger bag which doubles as my booksack for college. The next is either a bag or a box. I have all my supps in it that i bring to work and take to the gym. I can't fit them in anything else...and I HAVE to carry them everywhere. And Last is my Marine Corps "Diggy Bag" which is basically a green digital camo bag that is NOT designed to hold much. I have my musclemag int'l magazines, gloves, straps, weight-book, and my mp3 player. I can't ever fit a whole change of clothes in it.
So i believe I could put this bag through hell and back. up at 6am, hit the gym, tossed in the trooper, head to class, back home for a break, back to class, to work, to the gym, back home. This bag will be opened, closed, tossed, oggled at, stretched, bitten (my dog), jumped on (dog again), thrown over shoulder, have supps, clothes, books, water, music, reading material and anything else I can stuff in there in it. If it can withstand my daily routine, I'm sure it can handle any other ANIMAL on this site.
-lycan
I started to drool the second I saw the title of this thread.
I would kill to have this bag. But it better be as good as all the other animal products. I have literally torn through a few gym bags in the past year. I now walk around the gym with an expensive ass Nike bag, which is torn to shreds, and people keep asking me when I'm going to get a new bag. I just reply, " I'm waiting for Animal to come out with one. I refuse to get another one until it says Animal on it."

Well since my zipper finally broke about a month ago because I stuffed the Pack can in there one too many times on my bag, I'd like to try a new one out. Apparently Storm, Pack, and Stack were too much for my old one to carry.

My strap's close to breaking on my adidas bag.... I need a new bag... help a brother out!

I don't care at all, you make it and I'll buy it. I'm not difficult. If you can't find a good use for any bag somethings up..
I could def use a new gym bag...right now im using an old ripped up nike bag to carry around my protein shakes, workout cocktails, belt, knee wraps, straps, towel, and log book...
I'd love to represent animal with this bag! And ill def give the feedback on it!
i could def use the animal gym bag...my college gym isnt that great and im always bringing my own equipment from chains to different types of lat bars to the gym. i also always bring the essentials of chalk, belt, and supps. basically i lug around a lotta stuff. i go to school in ma but live in nj and i go home very often (lifting in my basement gym when in nj) so i need to lug my supps and gym equipment back and forth every couple weeks and currently im jus throwin it in my trunk.
representing Animal and taking log of the durability of the bag would be the least i could do for getting this bag.
this animal gym bag would be a great help to me and if i cant get my hands on this one ill def be ordering one the day they become available.

10-18-07, 2:02 pm
count me in, i dont really have a bag to put all my stuff in right now, but i would love to show off that bad boy in the gym.
Hey, this looks like it's for me. I am notorious for carrying a little Animal pharmacy around with me. I have jars of protein and oats, containers of EAAs, creatine, and chalk. I have chains for dips, a change of clothes (2 actually) and I also carry around at least 10 meals at a time. You want someone who would be hard on a bag, that's me. You want someone who would carry it everywhere like a purse, only worse... that's ME! Send me one and I will put it to use. I am a workhorse and I will put it through it's paces.

I've been looking for a bag but one that can handle me putting it to the test. Haven't found one yet. Send that bag over here and I'll throw my gear in it and put it to the test.
I take a bag with me everyday, pack it with my stuff, then end up having to cram it in a tiny locker. It'll get thrown around going with me from class to class, in my truck, sweaty gym clothes, boxing gear, etc. I'm positive it would get a good testing in my hands.

10-18-07, 2:49 pm
would make a great tester, not only am I in the gym everyday but I work there..therefore I need to bring a ton of stuff with me, shakes, pills, water, meals, straps, clothes ect...I need a good strong bag so I can stop using my ratty bookbag

10-18-07, 2:54 pm
im in the gym 5-6 days a week i need a bag that can take all the stuff i carry and not ripp like half my other bags... i would love to test out that bag cu i kno it would shine clear and through and be able to take a beating when i gotta toss it to the side as im doing a set and hold all my gear safe and sound...

10-18-07, 2:56 pm
I would love to test the bag. If I don't, I'll still buy one but I use my current bag for all my books, workout clothes, supps, gear. It would be put to the test with how much weight I lug around.
Since I work out right before work, I use a gym bag EVERY day. It carries a full set of BDU's including boots into the gym, and all my workout gear and everything I need to get ready for work out of the gym. I'll definitely give that thing a road test!
Send it this way!
B.C.
I just started powerlifting and all I have is a shitty Eastpak backpack that I have to carry some of my shit in, and its not even mine, its my fiances. I have to keep all my bands and extra shoes and other misc gear/clothes in my trunk. Talk about a fuckin hassle making 2-3 trips to my car to carry all that shit in and out of the gym daily. I would love to have a good durable bag to haul my shit in. So PLEASE mark me down for this great opportunity. Thanks!

I would love to test the bag. My bag is my life, everything is in it. It has holes all aroud the zippers but still going strong. It would be awsome to have an animal bag.

The Under Armour bag is falling to bits and can't cut it anymore. I'd love to test this bag......hopefully it'll get thrown into production in case I don't get picked.

10-18-07, 5:40 pm
My current gym bag is tiny. I load that thing up everyday straps, clean clothes, a shaker and supps (there is no room for a water bottle or shoes). It isnt big enough for two Animal cans so I have to consolidate Pump and Pak. It might have a couple of holes but those give it character! I bust my ass in the gym and my gym bag takes a beating, but my current one just cant keep up.
Woot i gotta get this for my dad (Xmas is coming up). I know that he will put it through the paces cause as long as i have been alive in 17 years he has gone through i believe 9. If it hold up to him its good for anyone with a need.

I would love to test this. I carry around my under armour bag with the animal stickers from the cans all over it. I am always with my bag, it has my belt, straps, supps, protein, shakers. You name it it is in there

after not even 1/2 a semester of college so far, my gear bag is shot. I use it to carry everything from my food, shakes, measuring cup, water bottles, straps, belt, etc. and all the use and abuse has taken its toll on the bag. the inside is covered in protein shake stains and the handles are starting to rip off. I don't have a job in college due to no car on campus/no availability of on-campus jobs so money is tight.
an animal bag would be badass, and really showcase my attitude whereever I carry it around campus, including our sh!thole of a weight room, if you can even call it that. I'd love to test it out and the feedback would def. come after some real use and abuse.

I'd love to get my hands on this gym bag. My girl recently bought me a new dip belt for my bday, so I've got plenty of equipment to haul:
Weight belt, Dip belt, wrist wraps, wrist straps, knee wraps, chalk container, shaker bottle, water bottle, and random single serving packets of protein, bcaa's, and creatine (from the Arnold Classic).
This bad boy will get it's share of beatings. Dropped, scuffed, sticky from protein spilling, chalky from my chalk container exploding, soaked from walking to the gym in the rain.
I'll put it to the test, I promise you that U-Rep.

hell yeah count me in. My poor $10 duffel from target has seen and smelled better days. Anything that can live through the trauma that I will put it through will be an excellent addition. I am sure with the animal name on it, it will be tough and durable. Hopefully I will get a shot to try it out

I am a collegiate Animal duffel bag would definitely be worth while. My other gym bag is falling apart and I am afraid one day when I am going to the gym with my pre-workout pump music going my Animal cans will fall out...that would not make my day, no that would ruin my month.
If I would be granted the duffel bag, I would be one step closer to my journey.

My lifting bag... Full of blood, sweat, pain, growth, sorrow, success, and every other feeling this fucking game gives you... It's time for another one, a true animal bag..Give this bag to bigbull and it'll go for a fucking ride! Whenever i'm being a pussy I can look down and say "You call yourself an Animal, but your training like a bitch." And I my friends can not live with that, I expect more in life and I expect more from my bag.... I know i'm gonna grow and something else animal in my arsenal is always welcomed, so send it over brotha.

I'll beat the fuck outta one.
I work as a field engineer and my job is about 80% travel. And I myself and the good folks at TSA in each airport, can really find out what that bag is made of. Send one down, I'll beat the brakes off it.
I would love to be the one to test this and rep Animal wherever I go....since I have never been able to test anything out yet from Universal/Animal, this would be a good opportunity. My bag is filled and packed every single day, it goes with me everywhere.
Even when I go on vacations...like I went to Hawaii for a whole week, to the beaches, etc. IT ALWAYS GOES WITH ME! ALWAYS! Let that be to the gym or anywhere else. I got my water in there, protein, food, all my lifting shit that I never take out...Nitro G, shit...there is just too much shit and this crappy bag is starting to rip on the insides now too. Hardcore is what it is, that bag is my life saver with all the shit in it. I will guarantee you a no bullshit feedback...Peace.

This Is The Promo Ive Been Waiting For. The Gym Bag I Use Now Stinks And Is Starting To Get A Hole In The Bottom. I Would Definitely Be Able To Test It Beacause I Take The One I Have Right Now To School Every Day And I Carry It To Each Class Including My Strength And Fitness Class Where We Lift Almost Everyday. I Usually Have My Clothes, Shoes, Straps, Knee Wraps, And Chalk In It. This One Is Bigger Than Mine, So I Would Be Able To Carry All Of That Including My Animal Pak, Pump, And M-Stak. Another Cool Thing Is That, I Would Be The Only One With An Animal Duffel Bag. Im Willing To Bust My Balls In The Gym To Test This Thing. If I Win I Would Use It Until All My Shit Falls Out The Bottom, I Would Take It Everywhere. If I Dont Win This One, Im Sure I Will Buy One If They Ever Come Out.

im on my second gym bag this year, all the others are weak lightweight crap, ive tried every type i could get my hands on but once you load it up with ALL the stuff you need trouble is only a broken strap or busted zipper away.
i reckon this animal bag could be the one to change things, i'll put it through its paces and then some just let me at it u-rep

I'd love to test out an Animal gym bag...my bag is packed to the gills right now with wraps, supps, towel, chalk, shoes, mouthguard, shaker, water bottle, etc, etc. If selected, I'd put this bag through it's paces and report back thoroughly and honestly. Plus, if I got to test it would be another way that I could rep Animal, especially when I'm lifting with the Chicago chapter of the ABC.

I would love to have an animal duffle bag. I would be reppin Animal everywhere I go but also because right now I have to carry all my gym stuff (straps, chalk, log book, supps, gallon jug) in my regular old back pack that I use for school. I absolutely need another bag for strictly my gym stuff and nothing would be better than an animal duffle bag.

I'd like to test this out. I use my bag I have now all the time for the gym and shopping, but its falling apart. I'm like to test if an animal bag can handle a sweating gallon jug, hard edged supplement cans, and constant weight shifting when I ride my bike. I'm up for it.

Give me a chance, I'll put the bag through its paces, and give you a 100% honest evaluation.

I would love to give it a shot because I would love to finally find a bag that can hold up...

10-19-07, 3:44 pm
I could mos def use a bag period. Supplements chillun in and on my dash, the floor of my backseats. Car hoppin when I'm low on gas, and we gotta swap rides to the gym. Always losin supps and shit. My car is my bag. The only thing that has a safety net from not being lost are my muliti's I take soonafter waking up at home.
I could most def put it to the test. Apart from my general abuse, it would have to make it past my two boys using it as a sled (one pulls the other around on it). Plus, I would much rather rock an Animal bag then my current Bass Pro cheapo.

Sign me up for this! My gym bag right now is starting to fall apart on me. I like to take a lot with me to the gym and I need something that can hold up for more than just a couple months. This would definitely be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the opportunity.
I've gone through three other bags and am of the mindset that there isn't a quality duffel out there. I use my bags for supplements, logs, books, water, - work stuff - everything. My bags go with me in the gym, at work, in the car and out on the road when I need meals as I travel.
In short, I have a tendency to beat the scheiss out of my bags, so I challenge the "Animal Duffel Bag" to see if it can handle me...that's right, I don't think it's cut out for handling my lifestyle, given that all the other bags fell to ribbons.
Prove me wrong!
I'll buy it once it hits the production cycle!
Directly after school, I hit the gym.
That means I need to carry all my pre/post w/o supps with me, along with my books, writing utensils, logs, clothes, squat/dead shoes, knee supports, and straps.
My bag has taken a beating: has a few holes, and my handles/straps are torn and now useless.
It'd be an honor to give this thing a go.
Thanks a ton, bro.

I live out of my bag....at the gym training 2 hrs a day...1 1/2 hour of lifting and 1/2 hour of cardio....Then I am there another 6-8 hours a day working there. My current bag has so much chalk in the bottom of it, everytime I take anything out, I have to blow it off....Hell, my straps which were originally black are freakin' grey from all the chalk. Not to mention the animal pak packets....I got so many empty packets in there I could build my own hot air balloon!!!

I go to college in downtown Atlanta, so all my bags get torn to shreds all the time. They always get dragged against rough concrete walls; the strap breaks while I'm riding to the gym, thus resulting in gymbag roadkill; and my bags never seem to have the right amount of space to fit my schtuff. I use it for classes as well, so its alternate use is as a backpack. So yea, I would give the A bag a ride through hell...

Geeze. I was wondering when is A gonna produce one like this. I tore my last backpack and brought myself a gym bag fitting that description. I just use it like, to keep all my stuff, coat, med apparatus, books, gloves, belt, clothes, food, drinks, supps. lol. Just one big compartment, and after 2 months, it's like about to be torn. Would love to have a chance to test it.

The only thing that are as used as my gym bag are my hands which I use to lift fuck1ng weights. I was about to buy one but this one will be fine for me and believe me I'm gonna give it hell of a roadtest. BB.com gym bags just wont do anymore, I want something raw,strong, Animal...

Damn, so I wasn't gonna post here. As much as I would LOVE and Animal bag I had a pretty good one, and was going to let some other Animal have it. True mine is falling apart some, but I got it one year ago when I got serious with lifting and it's been with me.
Things have changed..lol. I recently changed my workouts to the AM, so I pack my work clothes to change into after I shower. I did not realize until I started doing this that my gym bag smells like....well like a gym bag would/should...haha. So anyway, ,my current bag has given me one good year and now it's time to burn it. I really do need people to want to be near me at work!
I will rock this bag with pride when I hit the gym. My Animal skully gets notice, just imagine the bag!

For nearly 6 years, I have been pounding away day after day, week after week, and year after year paying my dues and trying to get my piece of the pie. During that time, I went through MANY MANY so called "gym bags". Everything from grocery sacks, backpacks, and many brand name "gym bags" such as nike, and adidas... None of them could ever hack it. The zipper broke, the bag tore, it couldn't fit what I needed... It was always something. I consider my gym bag a part of my life. I carry everything I need in it, including my supplements, lifting gear, spare clothes and meals if I am on the go. I also travel quite a bit and would love nothing more to represent the Animal brand wherever my feet may touch next. Whether I am rowing a 180lb dumbbell, getting on a 10 hour flight, in my truck, I promise you this, if I am humbly given the opportunity to put this bag to the test, I will carry it with me with honor and pride....

Ok so my old gym bag just busted today and all of my stuff scatterd all over the floor of the gym the problem had to be that the material it was made out of could not hold the stitching so when i put 5 lbs of protien in it along with my pack ,gallon of watter, flex and belt in it over the past 2 month it just wore out and broke at the seams! reguardless of the outcome of this contest I know I will be first in line to get a bad ass animal gym bag!

I me got a single "prototype" of an Animal duffel bag. Rather than keep/test it for myself, I'll send it out to one lucky member. Animal is looking for some feedback on this one. So if ya use a gym bag and wanna give this one a road test, post here. This bad boy is a classic, lightweight duffel, 24" long and 12" in diameter. One zippered side pocket, a zippered pocket on one end, and one main compartment. Handles for your hand and a shoulder strap. Definitely no frills. Animal logo. This is a one of a kind bag and may never be made again.
Eligiblity:
Open to all.
Requirements:
Gotta bust your ass in the gym and be willing to put this bag through its paces. Afterwards, you'll be required to provide a detailed report on the bag--the quality, the durability, usefulness, how much you'd pay for it, etc.
Deadline:

I lift heavy 5 days a week & live in the north east. It's coming into fall pretty good now and anyone will tell you it rains alot and it's colder now. I'll purposefully put this bag through alot of abuse, more or less like I do to my body when I train. I'll carry that motherfucker everywhere and double it as storage for my class books. I'll walk in the rain with it, throw it in the bed of my truck .. really see what kind of pounding it can take. Rep if you want me too I'll pack that fucker full of as many plates as I can lift just to test the durability of the stitches, I'll put a bag of sand in it and run up hills if I have too. I'll pay $60.00+ for that bag .. actually I pay what ever you want me to pay. Ive been carrying the same gym bag for about 5 years now and I cant part with it because I cant find a suitable replacement .. So what better than an Animal Pak bag as a new one ?
I train outa two gyms, a Gold's in the town I work in and a community center gym in the town I live in. The community center is brand new just opened this month.
This would provide good exposure for two reasons:
1) the folks at the community center don't have a clue how to run a gym, and ask my input every week.
2) I have not seen a single Animal product (shirt, hat, logo, etc.) at my Gold's. I even asked the front desk girl if they were ever gonna start selling Universal products in their retail section, and she said she had never heard of Universal!
Not to mention my current bag is torn on both ends and my gear keeps fallin out. (I've had it for several years and it is like an old blanket, can't seem to throw it out!)
I'll gladly provide a solid feedback review of the bag. I have shopped several "brand" gym bags, but haven't been able to pull the trigger.

I would love to give the bag a work out. my current bag is full of Animal cans, straps,belt,shirts,mixer,iPod,torrent,AOM,and some tuna cans with an opener. the top is torn by the zipper from all the hard times, and the grips are blood stained from deads. and if that aint enough i took the Animal stickers off the Animal tops and slaped em on the sides of my bag.

my bag right now goes everywhere. Work, where i teach martial arts, the gym, everywhere. It will store workout equipment, a few weapons, food, drinks, supplements, my log book, it will be tripped over, kicked over, stretched out, stuffed in places so it could be a good test.

Just finished Animal Cuts and am closing in on the bottom of my most recent Animal Pak container. I NEEEEED the Duffel Bag to load up on new Animal product! :)
Anyway, enter my name in the hat or however you're choosing the recipient. Looking forward to reading the eventual product review. I currently carry my gym clothes in an Adidas drawstring tote thing that I got at Dunham's or maybe Dick's sporting goods.

Like most everybody here, my gym bag has alot of miles on it. So I guess the one thing that would make me a contender to be chosen for this Animal duffel is that I am in the Marine Corps and travel all over the world. As already mentioned in a few other posts, alot of people have never heard of the Animal line of products. I think having this bag in the hands of the military would not only promote the Animal line worldwide, but also help show their continued support to the troops.

you know what else I'll do ? I'll put a cooler in there, thats right .. a cooler full of my daily eats and a gallon of water if i can get that to fit in there on top of everything else. This bag is going to tripple as a back pack/gym bag/food transport device. Hell I'll live out of it for a few days and only out of it if you deem it necessary. I'm telling you .. I'm going to see what this thing is made of if you instill the test upon me
Not only am i thanking you already for letting me carry your bag with pride, but i am also new to the animal line-up. I cant believe it has taken me this long to find your product. I don't believe I need to look anywhere else. Animal has everything I need and more. Thanks.

Man, I was just taking a look at my bad and realizing that gym bags taking a beating, and most aren't designed to do so. In my bag, I carry around 6 Heavy Grip grippers for grip training, and these things tear apart the bag - they're heavy knurled metal so they really beat the bag up. Also, I sweat more than the ocean, so my shit is wet, and it stinks. My bag can't even handle the smell. Miscellaneous protein powders cake the bottom of the bag, it's gross and crusty, and my bag can't take any more Real Gains. Chalk is eating away at my zippers and getting stuck inside of it.
I beat my bag because it's supposed to be able to handle it. I haven't met a bag that has been able to though.
Hopefully I can meet the Animal bag and put it through some Philadelphian hard work.
If this bag can stand up to what I'm gonna give it, I'd be more than impressed.

Greetings,
I'm already sporting 3 different Animal shirts and Animal hat when I hit the gym each week. Yep, I'm flying my colors! This would definitely complete the ensemble! I'm currently using a 6 dollar duffle bag that I bought a Big Lot's store. I would love to get rid of that thing!
Thanks!!

The Duffel bag is a ‘standard issue’ item in my gym equipment. I’ve been dragging along my stuff in a duffel for long time now. I throw in that change of clothes and supps, sneakers, tunage along with my water and supplement drinks.
I’ve started a second job last month and I’m riding the bus and subway to and fro so this bad boy could get a lot more exposure then in the past. My co-workers have been inquiring about the animalpak.com site and the supplements, FORVM, etc., so this would be another awesome conversation piece, because I’ve been spreading the Animal word…
I’m scoping out another new gym to workout at too, so there’s new turf to convert to Animal and Universal.
I love duffel bags, bleed Animal and would be honored to be among the chosen. I’m hitting the iron 4-5 days a week at this moment, working M-F and repping Animal 24/7.
I want to take this moment to thank Animal and Universal for another awesome promo and wish everyone good luck. Peace.

If I get this bag, i'm going to have it with me all the time. I'm going to carry everything I use through the day in it. Sure I could just take it to the gym but .. thats simply not enough. After all bodybuilding is a 24hr a day sport so why not carry the bag that long ? I want this bag because Ive wrote 2 other post about it. That is why you should honor me with the chance

Even thoough I would love to have the bag, I would settle for just the pic right now!
There are a lot of very deserving folks on here that this would make their day. Me, it would be an honor, but I just replaced my old bag and this new one has lots of miles still left on it.
But Uni Rep, I just got one real question: It is well know that Animal is the line that puts its product first and hype second. Animal is the company that listens to it's customers cuz Animal customers are not here to be trendy or cool or temporary...Animal customers are FOREVER. So, since we know this and Animal knows this.....you guys at corporate must know that the demand for an Animal duffle is out there...therefore just make it and everyone is happy!

my duffel bag is essential to my functioning. I currently attend college and live off campus...sometimes Im on campus for hours at a time and I need a bag that I can drag around campus as I make my pilgramege to the Mecca of the body building world...the gym. My bag carries my food...my supplements...my gym clothes....and theres nothing better than going home with an empty shaker and empty Pak packages all over the place.
I would love this, i definately walk a mile across campus every day to the gym so i'd be putting it through some good testing.

My lifting bag... Full of blood, sweat, pain, growth, sorrow, success, and every other feeling this fucking game gives you... It's time for another one, a true animal bag..Give this bag to bigbull and it'll go for a fucking ride! Whenever i'm being a pussy I can look down and say "You call yourself an Animal, but your training like a bitch." And I my friends can not live with that, I expect more in life and I expect more from my bag.... I know i'm gonna grow and something else animal in my arsenal is always welcomed, so send it over brotha.
Oh, yeah, those are some sweet words. I can see why that one was selected the winning contribution. Kudos, bull. You da man!
