Hugo Signs With Labrada Nutrition! by Hugo Rivera
I am most proud and extremely honored to announce that I have signed with the top notch Team of Labrada Nutrition.
I have always admired Lee Labrada not only because I think he is one of the best bodybuilders ever (Mass With Class), but also because of all his contributions to the sport and the professional way in which he has always represented himself. His company, Labrada Nutrition, is really a superb and shinning example of how to properly run a sports supplements company.
What Makes Labrada Nutrition Different?
I feel that one of the edges Labrada Nutrition has is that Lee not only is very well in tune with the athlete's needs, being a bodybuilder himself who obviously practices what he preaches, but in addition, his top priority is product quality.
Every shipment of LABRADA® products are lab tested by a third party independent lab for purity and potency before they earn Lee Labrada's personal Quality Seal Guarantee: "If it's on the label, it's in the product." To me this is of utmost importance, as after being in the industry for many years, I know for a fact that this attention to quality is not the case for all companies. It is sad to have your bodybuilding efforts be sabbotaged by supplements of inferior quality. Because of this, like I have said for many years, it is of utmost importance that you stick to high quality companies. Labrada Nutrition, in my opinion, is at the very top of high quality companies because in addition to ensuring high quality ingredients and label accuracy...
Labrada Ensures Fabulous Taste!
While I come from the era when protein powders tasted like sand, Lee makes sure that his products taste as good as any regular candy bar or milk shake from a fast food restaurant. The way I see it, there is enough pain going on in the gym and in the diet (especially when pre-contest season comes around), so not having to swallow sand tasting powder anymore is a relief. In all seriousness, good tasting supplements make it easy for anybody who wants to get in shape to follow their diet program. Now more than ever these supplements are not just reserved for the hardcore bodybuilders (the ones willing to drink sand if it helps the cause), but to anyone out there as well who wants to look good and feel good.
Incredible Team
When you add to all the above his hand selected Team of high quality and genuine people who really care about the customer, then you have a recipe for success. Year after year I have always stopped by the Labrada Nutrition booth and said hello to the same people, and each time I have witnessed first hand how friendly, knowledgeable and helpful they all are to the customers that approach the booth. These days it is hard to see the same people stay in a company for a long period of time (and this is true of any industry), so the fact that Labrada's Team was always stable and happy hinted me that this company was special.
Lee Labrada Runs The Show
Finally, what I like the most from Labrada Nutrition is the fact that while Lee is the CEO and owner of the company, he is directly involved in all aspects of his operation. Lee's years of experience in the sport of bodybuilding coupled with his analytical engineering mind (he holds a Bachelors of Science in Civil Engineering) are one of his company's most valuable assets. Want to know how involved he is on running his company? If you visit the Labrada Nutrition booth at any of the major events, like the Arnold or the Olympia Expo, notice who works the booth. Lee Labrada himself is there with the rest of his staff! He is not a hands off leader by any means.
To this day Lee also continues to provide free fitness education to consumers through his articles, his online Lean Body Coaching Club, and through his community service. Houston is no longer the fattest city in the Nation and there is a good reason for that; Lee Labrada is extremely active promoting and educating about fitness in the community.
As Lee puts it: "Our goal as "Fitness Evangelists" is to touch the lives of others in a positive way by sharing the gift of fitness." This philosophy, which is the same one that motivated me to start writting fitness articles and create my first fitness site back in 1998, coupled with Labrada's commitment to quality, awesome staff, good nature, and shared vision of what we want to contribute to the industry, are the reasons why I am most honored to be part of the Labrada Team. Besides, it is not every day that one gets to join forces with a bodybuilding idol and legend to spread the gift of fitness.
