Both of these individuals have represented animal for a long time and have done a great job for all the visits i have made in the cage over the last 6 years. I would highly suggest picking them again.
Oh wow, I just saw this... Thank you for the kind words ... I really appreciate it... It's easy to show pride and passion for Animal when you have the support that I have received from everyone here, from Corp to The Legion... Thanks again...

My wife's family lives in Columbus, so we planned a tripped out there during the Arnold weekend specifically so I can attend. I've visited the Cage once a few years ago, before I got into powerlifting.
At the time, I was just an onlooker who loved training and nutrition, who had a parked himself up against the metal links of the cage with a camera and a Animal t-shirt under a flannel coat with pockets full of aluminum-foiled-wrapped steak sandwiches. I got some great footage, had a great time, and yelled encouragement to the lifters inside the Cage, but didn't interact with anyone inside and didn't make the trip back for a few years.
I'm hoping to get out to Columbus Thursday night, but will definitely be there by Friday night. I'd love to help out in any way I can.

It is ALWAYS a great pleasure and honor to work side by side with the brothers and sisters here on the forum. I take great pride in being a part of this group! The bonds that have developed over the years is as thick as family blood! To watch my fellow brothers and sisters reach their goals and their development for the love of their sport is remarkable and at times an overwhelming sight!!
So if there is an extra spot for me this year in the CAGE as an intern I would graciously make myself available!
My plans are to be there Friday and Saturday regardless.

I have a hotel room and expo ticket already driving up Thursday from Richmond VA
available: Thursday night Friday and Saturday
so now on to why I should be pick
I started lifting 4 years ago at the age 26 I just laid bricks so I had a strong grip and back but I had no clue what I was doing but what I did know is all the biggest strongest guys at the gym and on the web had something in common that iconic ANIMAL shirt. Well that was it for me after checking ANIMAL out on the old inter webs I was hooked. I started to train like an ANIMAL and loved the products, at 26 I could not bench 135 for 10 to save my life now at 30 I have a gym 1rm pr of 365 and 225 for 20 at 205 body weight. I know not really that impressive in the ANIMAL athlete world but getting stronger everyday and representing ANIMAL along the way. I went to the Arnold last year from Richmond Va for one reason to be in the presents of the cage. It did not disappoint, I was asked by one of my buddies to describe the cage and really as a lifter I first thought was its like the superbowl then the more I thought about it, its the fucking probowl the best of the best in the best environment putting it out there for the fans. When I came home I was more dedicated than ever and push my training new level. I would really like to give back to the company that has done so much for me in a short time. The ANIMAL family is truly unique and no other company can compare to the brotherhood that is ANIMAL and really would love to be apart of it.
Thanks and look forward so seeing everyone from the inside or outside the cage
This thread should be pages and pages long by now... If you are on the fence about doing this submit your entry and I guarantee if chosen there will be no way you regret it.

A tradition where we honor our FORVM members by giving them an opportunity to be a part of The Cage. The 2015 Cage is approaching fast and we will be selecting a few of you to help out. We don't know how many we may pick yet, however, if you are interested, this is the thread to post in.
1. You must already be going to be at the 2015 Arnold weekend and have a place to stay already lined up. You may be selected for one day or multiple days.
2. You must be 18 years of age or older.
If you interested, tell us why you want to be an intern and what day you would be available.
Good luck fellas.
Hey guys, anything I can do to help I'm down for. I'll be heading up with a couple friends the day before and will leave Ohio the day after the expo is done.
Get your entries in by the end of today. We'll announce CAGE Interns tomorrow.
Awesome...
So close, yet so far away!!!
17 days!!
