      2. Bodyweight dips for max reps contest. Get 4-5 guys only to compete. I remember Antoine Vaillant KILLING this exercise at last year's National ABC.
      3. Max Deadlift (3 attempts). I nominate BIG BEN, Big D and The Ant.

      HIGA's idea for The Cage at the Arnold:

      1. I will fuckin say it. "550 lbs deadlift for most reps" Pros vs Bros. Boom, that shit just happend.
      2. Me and Big D were talking about this at the Olympia...3 of the Animal Pros vs 3 other Pros from another supplement company in a Max Deadlift (3 attempts). Maybe we can tie this to a charity? Don't know if Gaspari would be down for this challenge.
      3. 500 lbs Squat for most reps, then immediately do 405 lbs Deadlift for most reps. Pros vs Bros. Total reps wins.

      That is all...
      HIGA MONSTER
      That some Animal Sets there Higa....

      How about a bench your bodyweight or 225lbs for 50 reps or more and get a serious goodie bag with the newest clothing items by Animal or Universal...
      current stack for 2011

      Animal Products: Pak -- Flex -- PM--and RAGE

      Universal Products: Intra Aid -- Atomic 7 -- Amino Tech
      Beef Aminos -- Pro & Oats

      Rage Review
      I’ve been a long time user of Animal products for 20 plus years. After being on RAGE for a week I’ve come to realize that “It’s not how big you are, it’s how far you’ll push yourself to the breaking point to get that last rep”… With Rage there are no more excuses.
