and how legit was it

I was contacted a few times by bogus arse companies wanting you to spending a frick ton of money on their wack clothes with like a 10% discount

I have a couple friends who do it for 1st Phorm which is pretty legit

Did you guys actually enjoy or did it become more of a hassle

I got contact by FNX which is Brooke Ence, some of the guys from Brute and camille leblanc-bazinet line so its actually got weight behind it and they give a legit discount on product.

About 12 years AP when I fought MMA I one of the best amateurs in the state and a fightwear company called Beat2Sleep made me their primary male model and poster boy. I got a bunch of free merchandise, better exposure to more fights, and maybe a little more puss* from fighter groupie chicks. I know it all sounds stupid now, but it is the answer to your question!lol

Legit cool story bro

I got contacted for FNX by Jacob Heppner (although I don’t believe it was truly him lol).

I really did it just so I could get the 25% off coupon and no intentions of selling it to anyone. All I had to do was make 2 social media post a month. So I ordered some stuff and all of it taste like absolute garbage, I’m done with it now.

I really have no reason to post in the this thread, I don't even have an instgram account. Also I have no idea who you are in real life and you seem like a solid dude here so I'm not talking about you.......I just assumed most of these I'm a normal person and this supplement changed my life posts are BS and most of the insanely ripped folks are probably photo shopping and on some type of gear.

So if you are an ambassador you don't get free stuff, only a discount?

That's about 95% of the supplement industry. With the popularity of forums, having people to push your product there as well helps with visibility, and that's 90% of the supplement game.

That's why I only use MuscleTech products. MuscleTech, the products that make you swole.

Check out new CreaDurea! It combines creatine with the Durea fruit, which has been a staple among bodybuilders in the Chilean Alps for decades. Ever wondered why every Chilean person you meet is jacked? Find out with CreaDurea.

Approached all the time on Instagram and will never do it. Back when I was younger in the early 2000s I was a product rep for a few companies on BB.com and the like and yea....to much work.

Now the company you are talking about, I might would consider just because of who is behind it and Brooke is a badass business women. CLB...great person but not a hustler like Brooke. Anything Brooke touches is gold because she is a hustler, biggest in the CF arena imo. Her and DLB are the queen of the business side of things.

What is the discount? if you don't want to use their supplements, is it worth any time at all to do it? Understand with supplements too..it is very limited market overall.

You should. CreaDurea is proven to increase muscle mass by 40% among wombat embryos in a cutting edge study from the University of South Lake Titcaca.

It’s bullsh*te.

The FNX guys are logging into accounts (which is illegal even with permission) to make it appear that some top athlete is reaching out to you to become an ambassador.

I’ve been contacted by 3-4 known athletes on IG for the FNX brand.

A while back, IG caught Margaux Alvarez doing this and locked her account. She acted like she was hacked, but it was due to the FNX crew using her account to try and lure ambassadors to the brand.

Makes sense why I was contacted from the FNX official account

Also got a follow up email saying if I don’t activate my code and order in two days it expires

It was their Brute Force way of growing by using top names to expand the brand.

The products are good, but Progenex, XEndurance, Ascent Protein, etc all make great products, too.

I’m currently using the Ascent Chocolate PB Protein.$40 on Amazon prime. Great tasting product.

Jesus, back in my day things were different.

There weren't all these different companies and there wasn't social media.

Brooks running shoes back in the day wanted me to only wear their stuff when running races. I only wore their stuff when I was running training or races so it was no big deal.

Back then they either have you stuff, paid you, or have you stuff and paid you depending on how good you were.

None of this coupon stuff.
