Things missing in sponsorships

Performance. I think if Nike or Adidas should there sponsored athletes squatting 495 ATG or benching 405 or any other big, but not unachievable, weight in there ads they would pull in a lot more business. Same holds true for supplement companies.
I just think that if the average gym rat or noob sees this he will assume product "X" will help him lift big weights in the gym. And as much as gym rats want to look impressive they usually want to lift impressive also.

Just a thought

I also would like to see something besides the same old team sports figures. Yes, I know that's what the public wants though...

yeah, it worked real well for both EAS and Brady Quinn. Oly lifters should get more sponsorship. Ripped, strong and pass drug tests.

That's true... I think that is why Optimum Nutrition does so well.. for the most part (minus 1 guy who has a big roid belly) they use everyday athletic looking people (Well built of course)- but not nearly the freaks most supplement companies have.
