WHAT IS ARMS RACE?

There’s something about old school bodybuilding that just hits different. It was simpler times when it came to widespread training knowledge and principles.

There was a lot of variety in the way people trained, similar to today. But maybe the biggest similarity is how dedicated the athletes were. They weren’t worried about anything other than giving it their all. Earning every set and every rep.

Times are a little different now. For better or worse, there’s a ton of information out there. Whether it’s training, nutrition, recovery, supplements (the list goes on) everyone has their take on how we can perform at our best.

At ARN, we believe in earning what you’ve got.

Maybe you have a different method for doing an exercise or a new diet protocol, you still gotta give it everything you’ve got. That old school dedication and grit - married with the innovation we’re able to achieve in modern day science - that’s our north star.

There are not shortcuts in life. Whether your goals are to compete at the Olympia, get ready for a vacation or just live a longer healthier life, we’re here for it.

We will continue to demand the most out of ourselves, our brand and YOU!

OUR STANDARD

THE STANDARD WE CHOOSE IS SIMPLE:

Does it work?

Where has it been proven?

Who was it proven on?

If we can't answer those questions about an ingredient we don't use them.

THE BEGINNING

Take it back to 2014. Julian Smith had just signed up on Instagram, he was 5 years into his bodybuilding career, and he reached out to his favorite natural bodybuilders on social media. ‘Can you recommend a stack for me?!’ Doug Miller not only took the time to reply back with a recommendation, but he sent Julian a care package with a personal note. This seemingly insignificant interaction laid the foundation for what was to come. Little did either of them know, that in 5 more years these two would go into business together to build a successful supplement brand: Arms Race Nutrition.

A few years and a million or so followers later, Julian created a name for himself in the fitness industry as a no-bs trainer, who utilizes old school bodybuilding techniques with some field tested new-age modifications to build a physique naturally. His love and respect of the sport, plus his ability to connect with people has garnered a community of people from all walks of life who follow his workouts on a daily basis.

After working with two major brands in the industry, Julian set out to start his own supplement line - one that would feel accessible to all lifters, one that was created and marketed with honesty and integrity. In his mind, there was no better partner than his good friend and mentor, Doug Miller. Doug is a world champion IFPA natural bodybuilder. He founded an incredible family of supplement brands, and opened 12 retail stores on the east coast. He has over 20 years of experience and is well respected in the supplement industry. Together these two are re-writing the script when it comes to supplements, making formulas with efficacious dosing, full transparency labeling, and high quality trademarked ingredients.
