"Ask yourself this: if everyone else is training once per week, what are you doing that's so different that you would expect to get better results than anybody else? You might have good genetics, be tough enough and disciplined enough to train hard... but so are a lot of people." - BOSS
"I think I must be overtraining"... no, you're just a pussy - Machine
Its in the works. Not sure what we are gonna be doing, but we are gonna come up with something challenging and entertaining... Then again whats more entertaining than watching C.Coronato out rep me by 10+ on bodyweight bench. COUGH jetlag COUGH...
Haha ANOTHER call out i see??

I cant believe talks about the Arnold are already happening, feels like we just left there. I have been to the Arnold 3 times now and every year it gets better and better. Hope to be there once again in 2012
Nothing in life is ever handed to me, I go out take that shit for myself.
1. Strict curl for reps contest. Standing against a wall. Imagine if House & Wrath get in on this.
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...

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...

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.
Hey dont act surprised. Cant let you keep me down, gramps. We talked rematch at the Olympia. Now we just gotta make it interesting.
Im looking forward to it brother. I gotta step my training up, i guess. We will be on your home turf now.

We have a few things that could carry this ABC along. Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few months!

Hoping I can make it. Assuming I can, this will be my 6th Cage in a row.
