If you don't realize that the entire bodybuilding world is directed, driven and controlled by the sports nutrition industry, then you just might be sleepwalking your way through life.

Ticket prices would never even come close to covering the rental fee for the venues.
I'm shifting gears this time and interviewing a male bodybuilder who also happens to be "MAX32"-- one of our RX Muscle forum members. His life seems to have picked up some serious momentum lately. He's one week out from the NPC Junior Nationals, he's currently the Midwest Regional Manager for Gaspari Nutrition and his girlfriend is IFBB Figure Pro Katina Maistrelli.

After all, if those guys could totally transform their bodies there was nothing stopping him from obtaining similar results. He may have opened that magazine as an average guy but he closed it as an aspiring bodybuilder!
