Climbing the Animal ladder is not an easy process, but it is certainly one worthy of aspiration. Over the years you've seen the meteoric ascent of the pros and the steady progress of the other brothers who have contributed in their own unique ways and laid out their personal journies in front of you, all creating what can best be coined the Animal experience. I've seen it first hand... Hell, I've been a part of it.
The common thread amongst all involved is a commitment to paying dues and the pride to represent themselves and as a result Animal, in the most positive of lights... To be role models that the next generation can look to for guidance and as a positive example of the lifestyle lived properly.
We recently brought Hola Bola into the fold, elevating him, bringing him to Vegas to rep Animal at the Olympia this past fall. Hola Bola will again be in attendance in The Cage. Following in his footsteps, I'm proud to announce that Big Wides and McFly will join him and be in the mix at the 2009 Arnold. Like Hola, Wides and McFly have been active, helpful, positive members of the F O R V M, staunch supporters of the ABCs and have distinguished themselves in the gym and in competition.
These three have stood apart as athletes, as representatives of the Animal brand, but most importantly as men. We're honored to welcome them into the fold and congratulate them in their accomplishment. Much respect fellas, this is just the beginning. Here is where the real work begins...
Who will be the next to be inducted and elevated in the Animal hierarchy? Well fellas, that is up to you...
Peace, G
A huge congratulations to Big Wides and McFly. Very well deserving!

Congrats go out to the three 'em, HB, BW and Mc. In my very limited dealings with 'em and based on their posts I've read here, it seems pretty clear they understand the Animal ethos and know what it means to represent. The Cage is gonna be one big party...

I also commend these fellas for living the life. We all know that it's not easy going against the grain of what others feel is "normal" but it's something that we all understand. They have all proven to be ANIMAL through and though...
Congrats to you all and I am sure that you will continue to live, breathe, and believe in ANIMAL...
Congrats and very well deserved.

Thanks fellas and a big thanks to UN for allowing me this oppurtunity to work the CAGE this year. I went to the Arnold last year and the best booth was the Cage, not only because of the atmosphere but also because of the dudes there. I will do all I can to represent UN/Animal to the fullest and the best of my abilities.
Big congrats to all. Thoroughly deserved.
Big congrats fellas. It'll be great to have you guys working along with us at The Cage. We've got some cool things in store for this year and it's nice to have some new faces in the mix.
