I just wanted to let everyone know that I am officially an employee of VPX as of this past Friday. My good friend GOPRO set me up to meet with Jack Owoc as well as others within the company and all went well. I was hired on the spot. I have always been a fan of VPX and now that I have seen first hand how the company operates I even more of a fan and proud to be part of the VPX team. Everything from their customer service to their manufacturing seemed first class. They treated me with the upmost respect. I look forward to joining them after the holidays.

prolangtum · 12-22-2003, 03:24 PM

Congrats. All though I have issues with a couple of products, and an employee or two, I think VPX is overall a good company. Clenbutrx is still a mainstay for PWO energy most of the time.

KataMaStEr · 12-22-2003, 06:27 PM

Nice, very nice. Just don’t come in here selling them only come when giving them up for free or half price ehh

JerseyDevil · 12-22-2003, 06:54 PM

That's great BigSwole. I guess this means you'll be forced to hang out with those VPX fitness models at upcoming Mr Olympia's. You lucky dog!

Power Rabbit · 12-22-2003, 09:10 PM

Congrats! But big warehouse of free stuff?! I couldnt take the temptation. Id do crazy stuff like 10 GRAMS of M1T a day just to see if my head would explode. :-P (matter of factly, if VPX ever wants a human guinea pig Im ur man :-)

Burner02 · 12-22-2003, 09:15 PM

gopro · 12-22-2003, 09:22 PM

Soon swole will realize that although all the products seem like they are at his fingertips, very little comes for free.

Congrats swole.

Hmm, although there was a little LOL there, I am still forced to ask..."what the f%ck did that comment mean?"

Dante B. · 12-22-2003, 09:23 PM

Best of luck to you, and congratulations.

Although I have some serious issues with this industry, it's still absolutely wonderful to be working in it.

in all seriousness...just mess'n with ya...

but, part of it comes from your drastic change of stance on supplements now that you work for a supplement company (I guess to be expected though), before you preached training and nutrition, now all you do is talk about supplements.

again, to be expected, I probably would too if I took a job with a supplement company.

This is totally incorrect Prince. I have always touted certain supplements as hugely important in the overall picture. I have utilized supplements throughout my career and always had my clients on the ones I felt were truly helpful.

Also, the supplement industry is beginning to get more interesting as more novel and effective comounds are discovered each day and the possibilities to getting a little closer to steroid like effectiveness looms large. In addition, being in the position I am now, where I am actually researching compounds and helping in the formulation of products makes this area of fitness more of a priority to me...in a way.

I still tell all up and comers that DIET AND TRAINING must remain #1 and that supplements are exactly what the name implies. A good diet and training program will do more than even steroids and that will always be the foundation of what I teach.

I do discuss supplements more now for sure, but it is also part of my paycheck...part of my job. But I do my best to always balance it.

this is true, the sad part is every time something is marketed that is truley anabolic the government will step in and make it illegal...at least it seems that this is the direction they're heading in.

Yes, and soon the govt will be swooping in and taking most truly effective supplements off the market. Then the challenge will fall back onto training and diet even more. Fine with me.

Power Rabbit · 12-22-2003, 11:37 PM

I hope they realize that when they make phoromones illegal I will just say f**k it and go to hardcore gear...

HoldDaMayo · 12-22-2003, 11:42 PM

let's face it, how much of body building is mental? Even if the supps do absolutely nothing...

PEOPLE NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN!!!

It pushes you, it makes heroes out of meer men.... if you can only believe...

Sound dramatic? well so is the feeling of believing you can push yourself further than you've ever been...

I believe that all supps claim more than they can actually do... but the mental advantage makes up for it.... that is.... if you believe...

I know that steroids aren't just a mental advantage... I know that some supplements really do make a difference, but don't you feel like maybe, the biggest advantage you can get in the gym, is the reaction of your own body when your mental and physical being are truly psyched?

prolangtum · 12-22-2003, 11:59 PM

Crazy Govt, its not like companies are putting PHs in bottles with rubber tops and suspended in BA.......oh wait.........

Well, retail you will not have to pay, that is for sure. Good thing is that just by working at VPX you will breath in the fumes of all of the worlds best supplements and just by doing this, you will grow! (Just don't get bigger than me...I like being the biggest in the office!)

Before you do, you better wait and see the increased penalties that will be involved. Steriods will be considered worse than a murderer probably. It will no longer be a slap on the wrist or probation. You will be looking at hard time.
Congrats BS!
