Eggcellent pitchmen

Flex, May, 2006 by Kris Gethin

Recently, two of the world's best bodybuilders were shockingly defeated by a newcomer. The contest was close, coming down to the chicken wire, but in the end the vets lost by a wing. At least, this was the scenario played out in a new television commercial for Perdue Farms chicken.

"[In the commercial], MELVIN ANTHONY and I were posing onstage as if it was a real bodybuilding contest," GUNTER SCHLIERKAMP explains. "We were posing against a chicken--who was obviously very good, because he finished up beating both of us."

Watch for the spot to air nationally ... and perhaps we should also keep an eye out for that bird. If he's good enough to beat Schlierkamp and Anthony, who knows what damage he could do in a pro show? P.S. The chicken's favorite exercise? Flyes!
