Hey everyone, hope everybody is doing well. Just wanted to give another shout out to Monster-Gear. I've dealt with them for several years and they have consistently been on point. Every order I've placed has always been delivered in a timely fashion (I don't remember ever having waited more than 3 days, and I've received orders in as short as 2 days), and has never been missing any items. The reps are great and worked with me over during a several month time frame when I was having difficulty with my coinbase / bitcoin account and the payment took as long as 4-5 days to reach them. Fortunately that issue has been fixed but the important thing is that Monster appreciated my business and my loyalty and was willing to work with me, even for orders that were fairly small, as well as continuously providing excellent customer service and opportunities for discounts.
Another reason I wanted to mention what a solid company Monster is has to do with several posts I've read recently about people being ripped off or scammed by fake companies, people getting bunk or under-dosed products, and even people getting entirely different products than what they ordered. I have used other companies at certain times, for various reasons over the years. I generally didn't run into many issues with them, however, there have been multiple times where I have been suspicious about whether certain gear was up to par. I never made a big deal out of it, but the fact is, I work hard for my money, and I'm trusting the word of people I've never met to provide me with something that I put into my body. Additionally, I put it into my body for a specific reason, and it's not so I can experience the full array of side effects from a different product altogether, or so I can feel pip from poorly mixed juice. It's also not because I like gambling. If I wanted to throw around some money and hope for the best, I'd go to a casino.
The reason is so that I can use products I'm familiar with, as well as experiment with different products that have led me to understand my body on a whole new level, to allow me to live the lifestyle I have chosen in the least complicated, safest, most effective manner possible. We all have made this choice to take on certain risks, make certain sacrifices, and incorporate certain tools that most of the world doesn't understand or stigmatizes. However, for me (and for most of us, but I'll just speak for myself), this is just part of that lifestyle. Eating clean, 5-6 times a day, if you count protein shakes, as much as 7-9 times a day. Taking in at least 250 grams of protein, 500-600 grams of carbs, or as few as 200 grams of carbs, even below 100 when aiming for extreme results. I've given up certain vices, sacrificed time, opportunities, income, relationships, other activities, and allowed close friendships to grow distant, all so that I could fit adequate sleep, meals, and training into my day. The point is, I have chosen a particular path and, with regards to everything I have control over, I have done my best to do what is required in order to achieve the best results. Then I try to make progress every day by evaluating all of these things and determining what works best, how my body reacts to different training approaches, different foods and diets, different supplements and levels / types of juice, and even when to pin what compound.
With Monster, I can make these evaluations of what dose of what compounds I'm using, as accurately as I can examine what my diet looks like, how my training is going, and all other aspects that contribute to reaching a goal and know that I can trust it. I have never had a problem with the product quality and purity from any Monster order. I'm not a chemist, but I have seen paperwork regarding the mixes from Monster a few times and which has verified my belief in the quality of Monster products. Again, this allows me to make decisions about how to what will be optimal for me and for my goals. I think that this type of trust is underestimated. While pricing and selection of compounds is very important, and certainly not overlooked by Monster, knowing what you're using is necessary to keeping track of everything that influences your ultimate results and adjusting accordingly. Moreover, it's essential to your health and safety, even if its just so you can be honest with a doctor.
