PROMO: "Train with an Animal"

[Blondie Weapon X]

I love that Animal makes this possible for us and that the Athletes are so willing to share their personal training methods, experiences and time with the those that are striving to become better in their own sport. This is what makes Animal family and sets them apart from other companies!

The above list of names is impressive!

I am a bodybuilder that started powerlifting last Sept BUT is now currently training for a bb show. Lol...yes I'm a little confused, but that happens to be because I am a strong ass bb!!

So I would like to continued learning the roll of a powerlifter bc it has made me a better bodybuilder.
So if P Diesel is available I would love the opportunity to train with that freak

I can't believe more people aren't posting in here...this is the opportunity of a lifetime!

Agree! I am in prep and really don't want to ask to train with anyone. I get to train with The Ant every day! I don't want to take away the opportunity for someone else to train with anyone!

Ill be deadlifting, and Im sure a few of the Athletes will be as well!

I'm with ya, BUT... I'm NOT prepping, I'm fat and sassy, but I do plan on picking the brains of several folks over the weekend... I have a lot of questions, form improvements to be made, and overall "stuff" that I want to learn, and like you I don't want to take the opportunity from someone else...

Will definitely be picking some brains on a few things! But just want to catch up with all my friends and family!

LoL fat and sassy! Ah damn I forgot to make us yoga pants that say, "Mmmm beefy."


I agree with you and Jimmy. I definitely want to pick brains, ask advice, and such, but I don't want to impose or take away from anyone else who has yet to experience any of this.

[J-Dawg]

FYI... The first post was updated to include Andrey Malanichev!

[dannynb]

I pick J-Dawg!!! Guys, get those entries in. I have had the honor of training with Pro's every year I went and the experience and knowledge is off the charts.

I agree this is definitely something you will remember for the rest of your life. This is my second year I have tried to train with Frank McGrath, hopefully this is the year!

While looking over the list of athletes in attendance I recognize many great names, but more so the realization sets in that these names are merely just given titles. What appeals to my interest is that within each of these titles
there is much more. Each of these names carries a story, a method, a rise and a fall. While many of these athletes are currently within the pinnacle of their career one currently reigns supreme. Andrey Malanichev.

His current victories within the sport are not what draws me to him, but instead the fact that until recently I did not realize this man existed. Throughout history the warriors and leaders less known became victorious,
because their tactics and methods were not easily available for others to study and adapt. I feel that Andrey Malanichev, like those of old, is such a leader. Given his distance from the western world it would be misguided
of me to excuse any chance of opportunity to train with him.

To elaborate this further, as of yet it is impossible for one to merely go online and download a text based version of his training, also it would be more than difficult for me to meet this individual at any other time within my life.
Unlike Aundrey and his contemporaries I am not at the pinnacle of my strength career. Although I have proven myself to be above average I am not yet great. As a student of this sport I have gathered all the knowledge I
currently have within my grasp. I believe Aundrey may hold the knowledge that will be the key to the door that leads me to the next stage.


In short, it has been said that "knowledge is power."
It is my hopes that I receive the opportunity to acquire a mere fraction of the power that Andrey Malanichev possess, because in a sport where "power" separates the average from the immortal I could use every ounce afforded to me.

I can't believe there are so few entries. Can I train with 2-3 Animals if no one else puts in entries?

[naturalguy]

Want to train together Thursday at BLT?

Thanks Trebs

Yes, if all goes well with booth set up (and it should) we can make that happen

[twoheadedboy]

I was going to hold out because both years I've gone to the Arnold, I've done this, and it's been Ben Seath and Grant Higa (+more) both times, didn't want to monopolize anyone's time. Generally there's a big group of squatters and deadlifters and I'm a part of that.

Squatting is what I want to do this year, both because my injury limited my ability to participate last year, and because that's been almost my singular focus for months (aside from 2 months of illness and personal-related delays). Specifically knee wrapped max attempt squats. I would love to work with Ben again, and/or any Animal athlete that wants to work on a tall, long-legged guy's squat. I've completely rebuilt my form and have a different "feel" for the lift now, and done tons of mobility work, so while I know I have a long way to go (both strength and form-wise), I think I have made a ton of progress. I smoked an easy 235 in Chucks with no belt and sleeves on Thursday and I've done a static hold with 315, so I'm hoping that my lifetime max (a high 275) would be in play with wraps, belt, and my new lifting shoes (the Mark Bell Reeboks)?
