Since 1977

Universal Nutrition has been leading the way in the supplement industry since 1977. Until the arrival of Universal, bodybuilders and athletes had very few supplementation choices. From BCCA's to Weight Gainers, Universal has it covered. In 1983 Universal started the very first product in their Animal Line called: Animal Pak. This pak revolutionized the supplement industry forever! Never before was there one product that contained amino acids plus essential nutrients a bodybuilder and athlete needs to fuel their body. One of my favorite products by them under the Animal Line as well is Animal Flex. Animal Flex is should be thought as an insurance as they say. Flex contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Flaxseed Oil, Shark Cartilage, etc. Flex allows me to bust out heavy squats without suffering the throbbing pain in knees and as well as from preventing injuries that might occur in the future. Universal continues to come out with quality products that work. In 2009, Universal signed bodybuilding's rising star Evan Centopani, New York Pro winner.

2009 NPC Nationals

This year the 2009 NPC Nationals are hosted at the Westin Diplomat Resort in Ft. Lauderdale, Flordia. This is the last chance of the year for the contestants to earn a pro card. All eyes will be on BSN's young gun Trey Brewer. Every since Trey sign with BSN, the bar has been set at Olympia potential. Trey placed 4th in the Super Heavyweight class last year.

To many this was seen as a complete flop but in actuality for any other NPC contestant it would be a great success for their first National show. Light Heavyweight Branden Ray is another contestant who has been long due for a pro card. If Branden comes in dryer and with better paint job he will earn what he desrved last year.

Bantamweight Rino Martin, our very own here at KeySupplements.com recently suffered a shoulder injury that opted him out of the contest this year. Rino and I have been training latley, and he is already weighing the heaviest he has ever weighed. If Rino keeps up the pace he is on, I do not see a reason why he would not be the 2010 Bantam winner.
