Pros Vs Bros (Or even Bros vs Bros), the seminars, "Train with a Pro", Intern opportunities, live webcam, more photos, a new supp to be unleashed, new LE gear, etc...

Pros vs. Bros, Pros vs. Pros, Bros vs. Bros... This is one of the unique features of The Cage at the Arnold... Sure there will be a coupla these.

Pretty sure about the interns again, the webcam, and LE Gear... Not sure about the new supp. Maybe sampling what Agent O turns out to be?

I'd like to see the Animal Crew go toe-to-toe with some of the Universal Athletes. The "Battle of the Brotha Brands"... Who's with me? The House vs. Kuclo, Big D vs. BIG BEN, etc. Would that be cool?

I'd like to see a couple more seminars.

When the chiefs are sitting around the fire speaking wisdom, the Indians all gather to listen.


Plus exhibition lifting, always gets the crowd rocking.

and maybe a guest appearance by Snookie again that was funny haha.

Yeah.. more everything.. LOL

Having Interned last year.. I know alot of the supps and gear were gone by Sunday, and if I remember right most of Saturday too. Might be worth it to send more stuff to sell.

Keep the box.. GREAT IDEA!!!! I personally would like to see another promo to train with an Animal.. maybe set something up for Friday and Saturday. Give 2 chances for people to train with a pro. Doubles the amount of winners.

How about a limited edition run of the new Animal Manual? I've read it a dozen time as a .pdf file on my computer and my phone. Would be nice to have a paper copy to keep in my gym bag, or the car..

Definately keep the two Boxes.

Plenty of room to move around last year, unlike the previous year.

I know this may sound rediculous too, but a Porta-John or two would be GREAT if there was somehow enough room.......I drink so much liquid in the Cage I have to miss out on some exhibitions, etc. because I'm constantly running to the bathroom and fighting the crowd it takes me 10 minutes to get there and 10 minutes back. I dunno, maybe I just have a weak bladder lol.

Maybe we could just hang up a curtain in the back and use one of those old barrels? Leave a little neon yellow Animal toxic waste before we leave Columbus. We could always stick a bunch of Muscletech stickers all over it... throw off the finger pointing. LOL

Last year being my first experience was amazing to say the least. Finally putting names to faces of my brothers and sisters was such a rush. And seeing demos of almost every facet of the culture was just as awesome. My only wish to make the cage even better would definitely be more LE gear!!

I came up with this last year dk how it will fly. But instead of the pros vs bros competitions we do the People vs. The Animals. All of the guys working the Cage that can compete will do so. They will have it set what lift they will do either bench, squat, or deadlift. Or even having the choice of 1, 2, or all three. Then people from the crowd will fill out an entry form and be chosen to compete. Then those chosen will come into the Cgae and select which Animal athlete they want to go against in what particular lift. It can be bodyweight for reps or a certain desired weight for reps. So it would be like this:

Joe Somebody comes into the Cage and calls out G Diesel out of the group to bench their bodyweigth for reps.

I hope this makes sense and if not feel free to ask me any ?'s to elaborate.

I have a feeling that would go bad so quickly. It would be worse then a troth at a Giants game...ahahhha. No number 2's in the PortoPotty...lmao.

Awesome idea. Especially since I'm working on high BW reps, if this goes down I may work towards 40-50 instead of my current 30 rep goal.

LOL that's true bro never thought of that...the Cage could get stinky pretty fast. Might scare people away lmao. I just wish there was a pisser closer to the Cage itself. With the Box and all the supplement powders and water cooler, I'm always on the run.

A brief seminar of sorts, on how to set up an individuals squat stance, with the emphasis on a powerlifting technique. Maybe as well, a head to toe check, to see if guys are squatting correctly. Maybe some of our resident powerlifters could run this one.

What I would like to see, is BIGGER sizes in the Limited Edition hats at the Cage.

I have been to The Cage in Ohio and last Sept in Las Vegas, and was SICK that I could not bring a hat home that fit me.
I was at the Columbus airport last year and saw Juggernaut, G Diesel and random Animal Pak fans walking around with the camo green hats.

But none on Higa's big head...sigh.

Amen sir. Coming from a guy who has always been the epitome of an 'orange on the end of a toothpick,' I second this. I'm at least a 7 3/4 in a fitted hat. People say, here, try this flex fit on. It ends up looking like a yamaka.
