#076: Blessing Awodibu: The Boogieman Joins MuscleTech

1 hour 23 minutes

On Monday, November 14th, MuscleTech held their first ever virtual press conference with a major announcement: Blessing Awodibu, otherwise known as The Boogieman, has joined Team MuscleTech!

PricePlow joined media companies from both sides of the announcement, which included sports nutrition supplement press as well as bodybuilding news experts. This was announced just a month from the 2022 Mr. Olympia showdown.

MuscleTech is back in bodybuilding with The Boogieman

MuscleTech has recently taken the supplement world by storm, releasing their iQ Series of supplements that include enfinity brand paraxanthine – a caffeine replacement – headlined by their EuphoriQ pre-workout supplement.

Blessing is well-known for his high-energy antics, incredible work ethic, and jovial sense of humor, which can get under the skin of his competitors, to say the least.

In this podcast episode, we’re merging two interviews with Blessing:

The MuscleTech press conference, where Blessing tells a must-listen story about his previous sponsorships.

A PricePlow Podcast episode that was live in our Discord chat.

Both are great, and show you an entertaining but competitive man who will have the freedom to do some really fun things at MuscleTech.

Note that the podcast audio file includes MuscleTech’s press conference, which is then followed by our Podcast episode. Parts of the press conference — especially at the 14 minute mark — were too good to not include!

This included PricePlow and Fitness Informant from the supplement news side, but RX Muscle and Muscular Development from the bodybuilding news side. It led to some good questions from both sides:
