Who Da Heck is BTB?

[BendtheBar]

We have quite a few new members on the forum, so I wanted to reintroduce myself.

I am a professional writer in the lifting industry. My articles appear in the print magazine Natural Muscle Mag, and on numerous other sites (Critical Bench, Female Muscle, etc.) across the world wide Interwebz. I am also the content manager for Muscle and Strength.

I have interviewed everyone from Clarence Bass to Dave Goodin to female Olympias Mah-Ann Mendoza and Lisa Aukland. I spend each day talking to world class bodybuilders and powerlifters, and live the dream life - my work doesn't feel like work.

I'm here to help you. If you are an athlete, I can get your profile up, do an interview, etc. I also accept articles, recipes submissions, transformation stories, workout routines, supplement plans, and anything else under the sun that might help the lifting community. These submissions reach a very wide audience, and can gain you some great exposure.

In there's anything I can do to help you, email or PM. It's not an inconvenience - it's my passion and job.

My recent interviews.

Recent transformation stories.

Recent athlete profiles.

Lastly, Muscle and Brawn is partnered with Muscle & Strength's supplement store. Please support Muscle and Brawn by clicking through this link and shopping at M&S. Help keep MAB free of bull and hype.

Mild mannered reporter by day. Time for a new cover story. We know your true identity.

Simply put, I was hired to do some work for another site, talked with them about some possible more ways I could help them take over the inverse, and was full time. From there, everything I accomplished was just from knocking on doors in the industry. Get your foot in, and use that as a means to get your foot in the next door.

Sooner or later, after you've spoken to a few, people start to trust you.

I was sick of working in the grind, and made things happen. Not much to it other then that.
