Shawn Rhoden Parts With RCSS

[jcrobles92]

From his ******** page,

"Recently, I received a few emails inquiring about my Sponsorship relationship with RCSS.

As of Dec 20, 2013 RCSS and I have come to a mutual agreement to part ways.

During my time with RCSS, I had the opportunity to work, train, travel and pick the brain of one of, if not, the greatest bodybuilder to ever walked this planet. For that, I am very thankful.

Thanks to Ronnie for the opportunity and best of luck with the future growth and development of the RCSS brand."

that was a quick end to what seemed like a great partnership in my opinion I wonder what went wrong or maybe a more lucrative offer is in the works for Shawn?

Maybe Shawn refused to add bbq sauce to his diet.

[sedrik]

wotttttt Shawn ain't want to lift no heavy ass weights?

[BartPimpson]

Interesting.

I always thought Ronnie needed Shawn as much as Shawn needed Ronnie. He had a new brand trying to break into a crowded market, and he needed some big names promoting his products. What other athletes does he have signed? Just that chinese chap, right?

I got a feeling Ronnie is gonna sign some juicy booty bikini wemens an a few men physique guys.. could be wrong though

[FilmOfWater]

Zhang Hong Yu has the lower body but his lower body doesn't match up with his upper body (srs)

[BartPimpson]

^ I can see why they don't have a picture of him on the RCSS athletes page. He'd look like a joke next to Ronnie and Shawn without serious photoshoppage.

He's got Giant Killer Shaun Clarida who wrecked sh*t in the WNBF and turned pro at the 2012 Nationals


Here's him 6 months out from the NY Pro

[ResovoirDog]

Shawn will be just fine with out Ronnie.

This guy looks terrible, not sure why Ronnie would sign him.

I'd much rather sign somebody like Molnar or even better a fitness model with a huge following.

He signed him b/c he wants to tap into the Asian market.

Maybe he has a good following in asia, and he isn't as expensive to sponsor. Although he has a great lower body i don't see much future either.

[NVious]

I think that too, but still...aren't there better asian bodybuilders out there?

I often wonder how much value these guys truly have relative to someone like Seid/Rakich who I think you could get for relatively cheap and both of them have a pretty big following.

That's what I was thinking, but can anyone confirm/deny?

A simple google search of his name you will find nothing but old BB comp pics. Dr Hongyu Zhang Associate Professor School of Software (idk who that is lol) is popping up more than him

[Iceman1981]

I just saw this on FB. It happens all the time. Bodybuilders leave supplement companies for others. Ronnie and Rhoden will do fine for themselves.

[du3ce]

shouldve gotten hide or huh

[BartPimpson]

Shawn will be just fine with out Ronnie.

But how will he maintain his mass without Ronnie's signature Myo-Blitz XS(tm) preworkout?

[spamy]

Shawn has advanced in the rankings, and he'll be in top at the 2014 AC and Olympia. Probably he wanted a bigger sponsor, he doesn't have many years of top placings under his belt like Dex, plus he is closer to 40 and who knows how long he'll remain up there.

[RoroCwalker]

Dare I say that his lower body isn't that great neither?

He has what people thought Ramy had at first, big quads with no separation. Judging by the pictures, he literally has little to no separation what so ever. I'd rather see smaller legs with more separation.

lol!

[purdey]

RCSS is a small time company and Shawn probably thinks he could sign with a bigger one

[Problematique91]

So who do you guys reckon he'll go with?

MuscleTech?
BSN?
Ultimate Nutrition?
Gaspari?
Swisse?

Universal.

Universal.

Maybe Blade Nutrition?

That's probably it.

Now that he's had two good years in a row and has proven that he's not a one-show wonder, he's probably getting more lucrative offers.

China has 1.34 Billion people, they would have bread like rabbits if nthe government did not have the one child policy. As far as I am aware they are starting to relax that, so we will see even more potential customers for Ronnie, he is getting in early.

He signed him b/c he wants to tap into the Asian market.

This Ronnie studied accounting, and with a 1.18 percent male to female ratio Ronnie has forcast big dollars comming out of the world's most powerful communist nation.

Pretty much spot on.

Don't get me wrong, Ronnie is a hell of a name, but his brand doesn't really carry the "name" that Rhoden needs right now. The guy is a two time top 5 Olympia athlete. He just needs something bigger. RCSS seems more suited to high level national guys breaking into the IFBB

[NVious]

Maybe Blade Nutrition?

It'd be great to have both him and Dex updating that epic thread they had on our board.

[B-Neva]

Universal.

I can't see them ever signing him lol
