      New Animal seminar idea...

      The fellas at Corporate wanted me to pass this idea along... If its possible and based on logistics, anyone interested in having the seminars moved outside the CAGE and to a different, more quiet room? This seminar would feature some of Animal's bodybuilders and powerlifters. Mebbe like a Q/A type seminar or sumthin. Chime in fellas if ur goin and interested...

      Its a cool idea, but i think with the masses rolling around the arnold, its gonna tough. Not really a hassle per say, but its gonna be really weird hearing NG or vinny saying that everyone who wants to go to _____'s seminar has to leave the cage and go elsewhere, potentially missing some other cool shit.

      Just my 2 cents.

      No, it would be in the AM I believe and before the CAGE gets rollin. Certainly wouldnt conflict with a liftin exhibition. Sunday makes the most sense I think. Plus, the seminar would be close by but in a private room, a large private room...

      Ill tell ya, Ive watched the livestream over the years and when they get to the seminars, I can barely hear a word. I can only imagine its worse there with all the crowd noise. So I know folks want to listen to and ask the athletes questions. So why not move it and make it an official seminar?

      I am assuming that with all the new powerlifters added to the family the company is trying to find a way to put on the best show possible but trying to keep the bodybuilding seminars as part of the Arnold. I know people really do love picking the bodybulders minds about diet and exercises. While the company has moved more towards powerlifting, the likes of Ox, Wrath, and House are always fan favorites. It would have to really be communicated well in order to pull off something before the Cage starts and you will lose people that just showed up that day and are not part of the FORVM that knows the schedule.

      Maybe you can have 1 or 2 sessions in the Cage. They are sometimes a nice break from the action as well as allowing time for the powerlifters to warm up. I know you would get a big draw of you were to have a combined Ox and Wrath seminar. And a Blue Collar one with House and maybe Seath with his huge transformation to bodybuilding while working. Just some ideas.

      I think this seminar would include both powerlifters and bodybuilders at the same time... And I think the point is to move the seminars out of the CAGE but move it where people can really relax, ask, listen and learn...

      That is really a great idea. I know on several that I have seen I end up spending the entire time really trying to listen and unless you are right up on top of everyone there is no way it will happen. The Arnold just gets bigger and bigger so I can only assume it is just going to get louder as well.

      I think it would be great a opportunity for people who are either new to the sport and/or have an interest in competing/training and would like to learn directly from the pros. The private seminar would provide a more personal experience where people would not feel as timid or reserved as they would at a large setting like the cage.

      So what your really saying here, is that the live feed will be back up for those that cant attend, and they will have a better listen to the seminars!

      That's a solid idea, and have it so those who attended were able to walk in with the crew? Make it a small, private thing?
