Last year we saw two of the highest ranked IFBB Pro bodybuilders make a jump from their previous sponsors to team Ultimate Nutrition. The reigning, six time Mr. Olympia Phil Heath moved from his self-titled brand Gifted Nutrition, and the 2008 Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson parted ways with Blade Nutrition. It’s now been revealed that another big name bodybuilder has left his major sponsor, although there is no word yet on where he is going.
As you could probably tell from the headline and title image, the IFBB Pro making the change early in 2017 is last year’s Mr. Olympia runner-up, Shawn “Flexatron” Rhoden. For quite some time now he has been with the European company Scitec Nutrition, although before that he was with a couple of other major names with the likes of Ronnie Coleman Signature Series and VPX Sports.
There has been no mention of where Shawn Rhoden is going just yet, only that he’s officially left Scitec Nutrition. He’ll definitely be an athlete that’ll help shape a brand, or even the other way around with what ever company he signs with being something that could help shape him.
