Free gear, but that wasn't part of the official contract.

Dude is so short he looks up to Lee Priest.

Looks a lot better though. Unless he breaks down and starts getting tats.

Shawn & Ronnie have already parted ways. This is from Shwan's facebook:
"Recently, I received a few emails inquiring about my Sponsorship relationship with RCSS.
As of Dec 20, 2013 RCSS and I have come to a mutual agreement to part ways.
During my time with RCSS, I had the opportunity to work, train, travel and pick the brain of one of, if not, the greatest bodybuilder to ever walked this planet. For that, I am very thankful.
Thanks to Ronnie for the opportunity and best of luck with the future growth and development of the RCSS brand."

Today marks a bittersweet day. On a mutual agreement, Gaspari Nutrition and myself decided to part ways.
Over the past 7 years I have cultivated life long relationships, friendships with staff, athletes, vendors and distributors around the world. I've seen parts of the world I thought I would never see, and I was able to grow with a company as they grew with me. I appreciate all that Rich Gaspari has done for me and to this day, still regard him as my "Big Brother". My decision to leave Gaspari was discussed and agreed upon between both parties. With that said, I looked into my future and I was no longer the prefect fit for Gaspari.
I wish Gaspari Nutrition and their new signee Branch Warren the very best in their future endeavors and believe what was best for my career and life was to move in a different direction. I move on with nothing but love spoken about my old teammates and my time as a Gaspari athlete.
With the need for change, great opportunities presented themselves. I am humbled by the different companies that showed interested in me, but only one team shares my vision, my goals for success, and beliefs, and that was BSN.
In order to achieve greatness, one must take risks and make change. If I feared change, I would not be where I am today, as two-time 212lb Mr. Olympia. I say this because, in life it's about taking risks, both calculated an spontaneous. In order to learn and grow into a better version of ones self. I believe I will achieve what I set out for as an athlete and a businessman with BSN.
I am excited to move on to the next chapter in life, and thrilled to be with TEAM BSN, representing NEW products and standing behind a brand that is determined to FINISH FIRST.

So, he's going from one bullshit company to another bullshit company.
Sounds about right.

What`s with all this bullshit and fancy philosophical lingo - BSN paid more than Gaspari. Period.

He couldn't hang with Ronnie when it came to training back, and his ego couldn't take it.
*That's what I keep telling myself.

Height not an issue when most people will never see how short he is in person.
BSN paid a decent contract out on him after those gym shots in Wales.

GASP CLOTHING IS THAT GASPARI'S LINE ?GASP SHORTENED VERSION NAME..
-
I have followed Flex for a long time and it seems that Gaspari screwed up by working flex to death. He has complained and even took a year off to just train and grow. Rich requires all of their pros to work every show travel way too much etc..
I think Flex was able to get much more money now that he is on top of his game and would be able to restrict the amount of appearances he has to work each year. It is hard to get a company to change their ways once your under contract. Now Flex can call the shots and not burn himself out.
I like the pro, not the sponsor, because in the end, the chemicals do more for the pro than any protein powder!

This.
It doesn't matter who they're with at the end of the day, all protein powders and supps work the same when you're shooting boatloads of gear into yourself on a daily basis.
-
Saying that he was the perfect fit for Gaspari and then congratulating his replacement being Branch Warren, isn't exactly a compliment to oneself.
-
THANKS..
I love their clothing line, but it's way overpriced.
-
Branch "The Lump" Warren still pulling contracts while looking like shite at it's deathbed ???
-
if it wasn't bad enough that troy alves announced his retirement now this.....
