I'm betting we were 150+ last year. That place was PACKED!!!

Animal having food catered like last year? We could set up a lap top onto a projector and watch Ox kick ass while we eat. Just a thought.....

in any case,..... I'M IN!!!!

My company will have a booth at the Arnold year so I will definitely be in town, the hotels are already booked. As far as the ABC you can bet your ass I will be there this year. Last year I worked another companies booth and kind of had to chill with them and it was a miserable time. We were lifting at this wack ass "Fitness Studio"...it was the size of my living room practically... The whole time I was like "Damn I wish I was at the ABC"...so this year its going down!

Hmmm... Lemme check the date... PSHHHHAAA.... My room is already booked... So, yea... I'm there....

Just a note to those of you that have never been... It's hard to put into words what The Cage/National ABC means to any one person. We are a family, from the Pros to the Bros, we are one. It's amazing to see how everyone comes together and there's a bond that can be felt from the moment the doors of the Expo open on Friday morning... Friendly competitions, seminars, meet and greets, the best products at great prices (stock up), limited edition gear (that everyone wants come the Monday following when the pics are posted...lol) In addition, last year we had the live feed for everyone that couldn't be there to share in the happenings of the weekend...

NOW TO MENTION THE NATIONAL ABC!!!!
What a freakin' awesome experience!!! So many of us, doing our thing, learning, sharing tips and tricks, and just getting to be around those that "get" us... AND... How may of us are lucky enough to be able to train with the Pros, pick up tips, and grab a whole lot of inspiration to boot???

It's too much to describe, ask any of us that have been there... I will say this, there is enough memories made in 3-4 days to fill the 365 days in between.... Can't wait...

Hope to see you there!!!
