I think this was the closest I cut getting this submitted: 8:59pm, the rollover kicked in the second I updated the title. THEN I noticed a few spots I missed editing - dammit. Well I fixed it:

Yes, my garage gym that my oldest son and I have been putting together since August of last year. More details and backstory on the image below...
Regarding the process of putting this together - I started with about 3+ hours to submit. I had several change of clothes, some wigs, arm tattoo sleeves and assorted things, many I never used. I set the camera in a good fixed position and then with one outfit, went to each of the different machines and acted like I was lifting or coaching. I did this with each outfit, each station and then put together the ones that made the most sense and where I was mostly visible. The part in the back where I am looking at my watch is me, waiting for me to get out of the sauna and sauna me is saying "just two more minutes" ;-) With about 8 minutes to go, I realized I left a big space right up front so I rushed down to the garage and shot one more of me standing there saying "pfft, look at these jokers!" Got back and edited that in just in the nick of time.

previous comment was to make you laugh. This comment is to tell you that this IS IS IS IS what DPC is all about.
Awesome. I've done a few shots with this concept but this one was worth showing my kid to remind him what creativity combined with humor and know-how can do! Love it.
Congratulations!
This image is one of the most perfectly executed images I have ever laid my eyes on.
Nothing left out, editing to perfection. A well deserved blue in an incredibly hard and high level challenge.
WOW!
Helluva score for a helluva work! (and this is not even your PB, mind-boggling). Huge congrats Ken! I also feel a little sorry for you... how many originals do you have to submit? 150? ))
OMG!!! Look at that score! And not even a personal best! This is beyond brilliant! I can’t even imagine the effort in pulling something like this off. You are aMAZING!

this is so jam packed with talent .. shaking my head here .. in a good way .. :)
how cool .. second place on your profile page .
this totally deserved the blue .
its a fantastic image ..
and how lucky you got in with one minute to spare ..
over 8 in a challenge these days is almost a miracle .. unless you are you know who . !! .. ;)
real laughter here opening this ..
LOL are not just words on a page . !! ..
this is BRILLIANT . and i cant get over how many Kens there are .
i thought one was enough in this world . but it seems i was wrong ..
what i like a lot is how much 'trouble' you went to to get this final image . how many changes of clothes . hats . expressions . and more .
i think my fav Ken is the guy in the very back looking like he's getting ready for another wardrobe change .. oh and the guy who's going .. look at those idiots behind me . !!! .. very cool .. :)
