This is just for shits and giggles, but who'd be interested in volunteering and working the long hours of the Arnold Classic? All you'd get in return, if we do this, is entry into the Expo all three days, a few meals during the Expo, and maybe a special t-shirt or some other outfit. That's it. You'd be responsible for getting there and your hotel, etc. If you are going and are interested, tell us why you'd want to be part of this crew...

First off I kicked myself in the ass because i couldnt make it this year. I had to scrimp and save to get my flight out there. now that I have that locked and loaded coming from california. Volunteering would be the icing on the cake. Not only to I value the sport but ANIMAL is my way of life and I hold it dearly. Also all im going for anyways is the CAGE. I dont care about anything else.

Just edited.
I live in Columbus, and would give anything to work with the crew. I believe I could help a lot. I know the city, and could help set up the national ABC like I did this past year. And I would do this all for the experience and the fun times, YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO GIVE ME A FREE T SHIRT! haha. Man, this would be an awesome experience, especially after reading how rcrott loved it so much.
I would love to help out.. told yall this at the cage this past year.
Would love to give back to a company that gives so much. That and hanging out with everyone would be well worth it.

Im down for that! already got the room reserved a block from the convention center, got the days off work, and will be a month out of my show by then!... so the whole party thing is outta the question for me, I will be training and cardio like usual, and will be representing Animal to the fullest

Hell yeah I would be interested. I was down there around the cage all three days last year and will be there again.
Let me add a little more. It would be a huge honor to be able to show off my Animal Pride to everyone and to gather in all the knowledge from all the pros and Animal crew. I feel like this would be the oppurtunity of a lifetime.

Yeah... x 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... or something close to that.
The cage is always my first and last stop every year at the expo. I would love the oppritunity to help out, where ever Animal needs me. I preach Animal to every lifter who asks like its my religion. So.. I guess if I got to work the Cage.. I could tell everyone I had been to Mecca. LOL
You know I'm there U-rep. Was there this year as well and helped with some stuff(thanks J)....I'd be glad to help more next year again for sure. No better company to volunteer for and help out than Animal. It was an awesome experience just being around the guys this year, Looking forward to it.

I would do it in a heart beat... I have been there the past 2 years, first being told of it through House. This past year, I had the pleasure of being introduced to an ABC (in Columbus, in January) and it's been a whirlwind for me ever since. Before the ABC, the only thing I knew about ANIMAL was "Pak" and didn't really know anything more.... I knew that that House was "sponsored" by them, but other than that, I didn't know that there was anything else to it. I met Vinny at the ABC and I knew at that point that I needed to find what this "ANIMAL" stuff was all about. I signed up on the Forvm and never in my WILDEST dreams would I have EVER thought that I would have met such AWESOME people.
I went to the AC knowing that the Cage is where I would be. After getting there, it ONLY got BETTER... I met the most amazing people, many are closer to me than I could have thought and it's hard to believe that I have friends from England and the Netherlands and from California to Connecticut, Canada to Afghanistan, etc all based through the ANIMAL lifestyle. Who would have thought that a formerly chubby PE teacher recovering from 2 back surgeries from Tiltonsville, Ohio would have friends that are professional bodybuilders, well respected personal trainers, business owners, doctors, lawyers, bankers, white collars, blue collars, and just normal well rounded and grounded men and women from around the globe all through our lifestyle???? Floors me....
I was at the Cage the 3 days and the teamwork, mindset, respect, and just overall friendships that were seen pulled me in even more. Knowing what the AC Expo is like, from the previous year, I knew that I was going to be bombarded with T&A (I know you fellas don't have a problem with that...lol) but ANIMAL is not like that. I have a much higher respect for ANIMAL/UNIVERSAL for this reason... I have lost 50+ pounds and competed for my first time this year. I'm not a bombshell, not about showing my body to get attention, (my self esteem has improved, but not to that extent)....lol I am not the type of girl that feels comfortable with the T&A aspect, I'd rather feel respected for what I do and where I came from rather than what my body looks like in a shorty short skirt. I am more than T&A and I was accepted by the Animals for more than that. I felt comfortable in my skin, rather than feeling bad about myself because I don't have "assets" like some of the other women there...
One the other side of that, when you walked around the other booths, yes, they had BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL girls at the booth, BUT they had NO IDEA about their product, no idea what they were handing out, they were just handing crap to anyone that walked by. Animal didn't go looking for customers, their people came to them. The athletes were there talking, mingling, and mixin' it up with the people, not sitting behind a table charging for a pic or a signature... They are REAL athletes, REAL people, and TRUE class....
Okay, I am rambling, but just know that I am available for that weekend, would love to help out and hopefully something arises that would give the opportunity to help and lend a hand in the hopes of letting ANIMAL/UNIVERSAL know that we respect and appreciate all they have done for us...
I could go on...lol

I would love to do it because i've never been to the arnold classic and if i knew i had this to do, it would give me an actual reason to go. Ive always made excuses for how expensive it was and always told myself "next year" But if i am selected to go then i wouldn't have a choice but to go.
Animal has been a way of life for me for a while now and i have nothing but good things to say about the company. Also, i'm one of the younger guys (18) and i think i would learn valuable information that would serve me well in the future. i think by selecting a younger guy, it is allowing me to soak up as much knowledge and experience as possible so i can become an experienced lifter and representative of Animal. i would be able to share my experience with all of the younger guys as well and spread the knowledge of Animal everywhere. thanks for the opportunity.

Because it would be a honor. I kinda hung out there all day last time, and at one point Big Al thought i was a worker, and i actually did kinda help when i could. And hey, just a few meals there would be awesome, cause Expo food was fucking expensive! And who doesn't want a special shirt?

Its the first weekend in march. I believe march 6,7,8 if im not mistaken.
It would be an honor to volunteer for Animal! I've already got plans to go next year. I went to the Arnold last year and spent pretty much all of the 3 days at the Cage. The whole time I was thinking how badass it would be to work side by side with all of the Animals! It would be a great honor and an experience of a lifetime. The Cage is the main reason I make the 6 hour trip to Columbus! Consider me in...

I would love to do this. It would be an honor and a privilege. I've been to the Arnold twice, and both times I spent the overwhelming majority of my time at the Cage. Each year I saw how hard the crew worked, and how EVERYONE from the Animal crew was helping and working the entire time. Besides the fact that it would be like a dream come true for me to be a part of the Cage crew, it would also be really cool to me in that I would be helping the guys that I respect and admire, not to mention my favorite supplement company.
Id love to do it. I'll spend the whole days at the cage anyway, so i might as well be usefull and help put.

Hell yeah I would be down to work some long hours in the cage! To me, bodybuilding is the only way of life I know and NOBODY represents the sport like Animal Pak! The supps are out of this world, the ads are sick, the dvd's are fucking awesome, and the crew are true ANIMALS who have the respect of anyone who sees them! I live 2hrs from Columbus in Akron, OH.. so it isn't shit for me to get there. I always rep Animal to every guy I talk to at the gym. This would be a great way to be part of the Animal Crew for the weekend and a sweet way to enjoy the Expo! I am down for whatever Animal wants me to do! Just hit me up!
i would help if you need me...
This is an excellent opportunity for someone and I`d be well up for it if it was my 2nd or 3rd Cage visit but its my first and I need to be taking it all in, lol.
I couldn`t care less what else is happening at the Arnold, I`m there purely for the Cage and to meet all the Animals.
Looking forward to meeting you all there, can`t wait.
In saying that if I can help anyone out in any way please don`t hesitate to ask me.

I just pm'd you Universal Rep about this, just found the thread
I've gone to the Arnold for the last two years (I'm 18) and its been the best experience of my life. First year I tried to visit everything and get all the free stuff. Last year, just chilled at the Cage all day, wasn't worth it to go anywhere else. I'm figuring if I'm gonna be there all day I might as well help out and volunteer. To chill with all the pros would be amazing and to train with them would be like a dream for me
I'm competing in my first event in 6 weeks, The Eastern USA Championships, and hopefully when I come to the Arnold I'll have a 1st place trophy to show. Just the thought of winning my first show and coming to the Cage on my first planned off season to throw around some weight with the pros, its really what has helped me get threw these 45 minute cardio sessions and the half a cup of rice I get with my first couple meals everyday. I know alot of guys here would be honored to be picked, and the same goes for me. Thanks
