They spend ungodly amounts of cash being the main sponsor at the Olympia every year, but you never see their products in the stores. Maybe big outside of the US market?

They used to be huge over in Europe,but started screwing distributors all over especially after the crisis and ruined the market themselves as most of the us companies did.

does the public even know the difference anymore since they all end in "nutrition".  i saw arnold's bullshit in walmart when i was buying bulk toilet paper.  shredz has a catchy name but they have been silent too.  are the florida investors recouping the $1M they pay phil heath upfront for "Gifted"?

The budget  companies like myprotein cut the big boys out of the fart powder business.

It's like when the columbians cut out the cubans in the Miami coca powder business.

No whey powder has ever matched optimum nutrition's though.

Wal-Mart brand will work jut as well.

Why pay for more a name when the products are very similar.

Post by: Body-Buildah on June 14, 2021, 06:48:31 AM
People who use the stuff need to pop in to those stores like "Big Lots" etc.

Local one just got in tons of Dymatize EAA's for 5.99.
GNC sells the crap for 48.99.  ::)

Whey is whey.

Animal was cool as hell to me in my youth.  Grungy black n white photos of  a dour faced Frank McGrath lifting in construction boots, that kinda shit.

Much rather see them stick around than MuscleTech's cheesy fake lab advertisements

Yeah I was really into their advertising growing up also. I used to keep cut outs of the ads to motivate me before workouts. They made it all sound so hardcore.

What's hardcore about some depressed guy, scowling over a plate of mush, acting as if hitting the weights (in some condemned shack, disguised as a gym) is the equivalent of a root canal?

Those ads were more likely to make you pick up badminton than continue bodybuilding.
