Yokota Air Base Strongman contest (Fussa, Japan)
If there are any Animals in the Tokyo area, I will be at Yokota Air Force Base this weekend. I will be helping with the "5th Yokota Strongman" contest, and doing a demo too.
Already packed a few ANIMAL shirts to wear in Japan, and also got an Animal Pak banner to hang at the strongman contest.
"Banzai!"

HIGA MONSTER invades Japan!
When I got to Nagoya last night, the Brazilian guy that picked us up sells Universal Nutrition products at his smoothie shop here! What a small world!
I stayed at his apartment last night, and he had Animal hats, NITRO lying around...way cool!
Driving 4 hours to Yokota Air Base today. Will try to post pics from tomorrow's contest later on!
