In it's continued growth to position themselves as one of the biggest name in nutritional supplements in the fitness industry, IronMag Labs has added another high profile athlete to their stable. Signing with the Henderson, Nevada based company is the San Diego native and 2014 Super Heavyweight USA Mens bodybuilding runner up Big Jon Ward.
The 33-year-old Ward comes from a long athletic background where he excelled in both football and track and field. He was first introduced as a young teen to the weight room as a supplement to his football training by his father. Apparently, based on his physique, Big Jon never left the gym. Jon lives up the the moniker Big Jon as he stands 6' tall and weighs in at more than 320lbs in the off season.
With an entry into bodybuilding in 2003, he took some time off to focus on his career and financial future before stepping up his game and making a big splash in 2012 by taking the Super Heavyweight title at the NPC Los Angeles Grand Prix. He followed that up by moving to the national stage and making a first callout at the 2013 USA's and then his big placing last year by being named the runner up on the same stage. Big Jon has his eyes set on the USA stage again this year with nothing but firsts in his sights.
IronMag Labs came to know Jon on a personal level and were truly drawn to this humility. When asked about the partnering with IML, Jon had the following to say. “I am humbled and honored that the team at IML believes in me as much as they do. It feels amazing to know a company such as IML who is on the rise has my back! I am excited for what the future holds!
