[Objective]

Has anyone ever tries to get sponsored from any type of supplement company (or any company for that matter). What are the procedures, the benefits, pros and cons.

Vary greatly from company to company. Pros are usually getting your name out thre and of course free supps. Cons are hard to touch on because of the way each different business handles its athlete. My advice would be to get some pics out there and start talking with reps and see what the feeler is.

should I include a brief bio

[Costanza]

I would include anything you think would be worthwhile, including a brief bio (competitions you've been in, will be in, etc.). Think of it as a resume for a job application. In essence, you really are applying for a job. More specifically it relates to say, a modeling career or an audition for a part in a movie. You don't get hired on the headshot alone. That gets you in the door if you look like someone they want to work with, but you've got to win the part by how you perform.

Plus in this industry they seem to be looking for those who can represent the company well on various forums. So dealing well with others can go a long way :)
