You may look at one of the world's top bodybuilders and think, "Man I wish I could be like them," or, "It looks like they are really living the dream." What you may not be aware of is the struggle that comes along with the journey. The sacrifices that come along with being the best, in any arena; it's not what happens in the gym that creates the best bodybuilder, but rather how they are able to cope with the everyday life struggles.

This was us…

Five guys in a crowded expo hall. Wearing "PS" logo'd shirts we made two days before, carrying around a binder full of product images we hadn't made yet. Others laughed at us I am sure; those "friends" of ours snickered at us as we walked by, commenting "those guys will never make it". What I realized and underestimated in those times where I was surrounded by hate and doubt, was just how powerful determination, desire, and the will to win really is.

Amino Acids are the building blocks of the body. They make up every tissue. Hair, skin, nails, teeth, and most importantly, MUSCLES are all made from amino acids. There are 20 amino acids from different structures used to create tissues in the body. Of these, there are 9 essential amino acids (cannot be made by the body) that must be consumed from diet and 11 non-essential amino acids (the body can create as needed).

From my very first memories I have as a child, I remember being a competitive person. I am an only child, but grew up with a ton of cousins who were always there to ensure that I was being pushed out of my comfort zone and into my breaking point. I played sports throughout my younger and high schools years that helped me stay in shape. My diet, however, could have used some help.

How do you "improve" perfection? Well, it took us FOUR LONG YEARS of waiting for the right time, the right ingredients, the right opportunity, to make a perfect product "more perfect". At Prosupps, we don't launch any product unless it passes the "iron test"… If we don't move more weight, spend more time in the rack, or see more digits on the scale, we start all over, from scratch, until we get it right.

We get asked every day, multiple times a day… "How do I become part of the ProSupps Team?"

First, getting sponsored by any company takes work. A lot of work. You have to be on your social media game like never before because companies are checking out your Instagram, Facebook, engagement, and your content on all of these platforms. Social media is a BEAST and it is constantly changing, but there are a few things that will step up your game no matter what they throw at us!

As most competitors know, being consistent and adhering strictly to your dietary needs, is absolutely necessary which sometimes makes it the most difficult part of prep. Not only do we spend hours in the gym, but we can spend just as much time in the kitchen as well. These factors alone can make prep difficult, but what happens when you add constant traveling and being on the road into the mix? How do you not only stay consistent, but motivated? Here is a look into my daily routine with being on the road and prepping, which hopefully can show you that you can achieve your goals no matter the difficulties that life might throw your way.

There is not much to it!

I've got goals… in different area codes… area codes.

Yeah I went there.

I'm sure most of us have heard the saying, "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail." But no need to fear! There are a few fast-food joints that will do the trick. Here are 5 places that you can always count on to get you out of a jam.
