Honestly, I love that animal stakes their image and reputation on guys like you and Mass, who - objectively/respectively - hadn’t done shit in the sport on the competitive level when first bringing you into the fold.
Anyone can throw some sponsorships at some guys fresh off the Olympia stage, and use their name to sell a few tubs of whatever, but it’s a whole different deal to see a stranger in a gym and stake your success on that which they haven’t yet achieved.
I appreciate that, brother. Couldn´t agree more.
I can´t think of any other company that does that...
I agree totally! More respectable that way for sure. Many tops guys in my opinion are NOT the best representation of products. I want REAL people
My problem with these sponsorship jumpers has always been their credibility.
One year they are
"so happy to be part of the XY family! Without a doubt the best products I´ve ever used. I´ve used their products even before I have been a sponsored athlete..."
the next year they say the same about company ABC. It´s ridiculous...
Especially on those days when its below zero and the car is covered in a foot of snow!
Or when you've got new born babies and you haven't slept well in 3 years =) funny how I've been the most motivated in that state, most likely due to my babies and wanting to see them instead of spending 2-3 hours training.
Dave Tate said it best, you shouldn't pat yourself on the back for shit you should be doing. He had also mentioned that training when you truly don't want to nor have the energy to is considered grinding or committed.

100%. Same here. I was using Universal why and Animal pak in high school! HAHH!
I love about our company is they allow us to say what we want and be free. Speaks integrity about the company.
