[69challenger]

Who here is sponsored? What do you get and what is expected from you?
How did you go about receiving the sponsorship?

I ride some coat-tails and have some sponsorship by Elite Perrformance centers.. but even if I didn't, that would still be where I train.

One of my long term goals is to get sponsered by True Supplements. Chances are its not going to happen but if i talk and post less and spend more time kicking ass in the gym and on stage you never know. Maybe if i one day make it to national level they will but as a moderate size company i dont think they sponser many athletes at a time like the big fancy guys like MT, and all that. I wouldnt want anything out of it really there prices are good enough already just a title would be sick..

Im sponsored by PVL. Alot of it is luck realy. I got sponsored after they saw me on a magazine cover and gave them my bio.

guys i know who got sponsored by muscletech, nxcare, got about $500 a month in supplement (at msrp, not retail, not wholesale), and if they did a photoshoot about $600-1000 (usually just one or two shoots).. and a 4 year exclusive deal meaning they can't do shit for any related product, so locked in. plus had to do a couple events a yera and work the booth, ie. arnold classic handing out samples all weekend

not alot really.. but if you look at it, they're a business.. you're an adult.. if you can demonstrate you can add X Value to their company, profit, over the next guy, then you can get something...

muscletech had open post on getbig a while ago for anyone interested in sponsorships with b and a's...

I thought I was sponsored by a local Nutrition Store for many years. I sent them dozens and dozens of customers who would spot my photos in the gallery of their stars and say "she sent me". I wore their t shirts as my uniform in the gym and at shows.

I had to submit my entry fees, and costs like posing suits etc. Only to receive a 200 or so dollar gift certificate back.

I wish I had a sponsor but I'm ok going alone for this May. After doing 5 shows up to Nationals I now realize I'm OK on my own. ONLY I make this work.

I've got a few sponsors right now, its definately nice to save a few bucks on supplements.

But if your gung ho on making a name for yourself and getting publicity and sponsors you need to win contests and market yourself right. Winning contests doesnt guarantee any of that but def helps.
