Would have to suggest these guys as a chance to train with a pro. Great stand up guys that deserve the chance.

I want to train w/ GUNZ, I know he is probably gonna get picked by a bunch of people because he really is a badass. My bench is a little stuck and I need some love on figuring out my setup and moving myself towards that 405 mark. Plus I picked up some of the Iron Rebel Rhinos and need to see how they work.

I'd love to get the chance to train with Grant for the night. He's got a holy hell of a lot of experience in Competitive Strongman. Of course I want to work any of the main events allowed by the available equipment but even without any of those I want to see your accessory work as well as mobility. Going into my 3rd amateur SM competition in May (STL Strongest Man) and would love any advice possible.
A lot of new faces on the Animal roster this year. Gonna be a good time for those who show up. An education in the art of hoistin'.
Brunos400ex,
You got it. We´ll train.
Let´s decide on the day what we´re going to be hitting.
Ganderson,
I feel honored by you picking me out of all these great athletes. Thank you.
But honestly, I don´t feel comfortable training with you since you have those injuries that I don´t know anything about. I´ve never had any shoulder issues and therefore my knowledge of how to train with one is limited at best.
No hurt feelings I hope, brother.
Looking forward to meet you there and chat!
It is such a great opportunity that Animal puts out there for us.
I would like to train with Derek Kendall. I know he is doing Military press in the Cage, but I am down to train just about anything. I am also looking forward to picking his brain about how he utilizes his BB'ing background in his training to maintain a physique while getting massively strong. Also interested to see how he has trained around some recent injuries since I am working around a torn meniscus. Thanks for the consideration and I hope I get to train with the big fella.
I'm new to the FORVM/Animal and accordingly think it would be awesome to train with another new face in Jason "HUGE" Huh. Since joining I have been surfing through info on all the athletes and have yet to soak it all up but I am very interested in learning more about HUGE's constant tension techniques, I'm a sucker for continuous learning and what he is doing is obviously working haha. The guy's philosophies are awesome, I love it how he gives ZERO fucks what anyone thinks (as evident in the awesome quote below) and its great how dedicated to his family he is, I don't have children but I am the oldest of 6 siblings and we are super close and I wouldn't have it any other way! If given the opportunity I would like to work on how he gets his shoulders so damn big or on getting my back even 1/2 as wide as his but I would train anything and try to learn as much as I could. See everyone in the Cage and at the gym.
Dorian "Heavy D" Hamilton
I've gotten to see this guy training with Fouad Abiad & Frank McGrath, he's a beast. Young and hungry, chasing that pro card, it would be a blast to train back. Thanks guys.
I would like to Bench with Garrett Gunz. I went to ASF2014 for the first time and it changed my life. I walked by the Animal Cage and realized everything I thought I knew about powerlifting was completely wrong. I looked up Gunz on youtube and I've been watching all the Animal athletes ever since. I will be competing in my first meet in April 2015 and it would be cool to have The man that got me interested help me reach my goal.
Dan Green
I have been around Animal legion for a long time now and the person I have gotten the most insight out of their videos (both through Animal and before he signed) is Dan Green. I really dig his approach to training that you can't avoid the everything else and simply just do benching, squatting, and deadlifting in their basic form. What impresses me the most is that he is so humble about everything. He is the best but you wouldn't know it because there is no boasting or anything. No bullshit, just letting the weights on the platform speak for themselves and constantly setting the bar higher. What I would really like to pick his brain and learn from the best would be his benching technique and how I can improve mine. I have paid attention in his videos and I do realize everyone's technique is different but the fundamentals are the foundation. What I really need is work on my leg drive and I know that's when Dan said his bench really started to take off when he learned how to horizontally drive. I am thinking this is exactly what I need to get my bench moving in the right direction because it has been stuck in the same general weight ranges for some time now and I cannot pass up an opportunity to be able to learn from Dan and break through those plateaus.
It would be an absolute honor and an amazing experience to be able to learn from such an experienced and knowledgeable master of the sport.
Not to mention who could resist training with Steve Lattimer's twin from the Program!
If given an opportunity I would love to join forces with the Canadian trained boys Jay and Kade. Unfortunately for myself I am recovering still from shoulder surgery and am super limited to hands on training at the moment. That being said I am all ears and would at least love to hear any advise and techniques they utilize on the platform and in the big 3 and watch their craft in action, that Would be unreal.
