To fully appreciate the origins and the extraordinary
achievements of Iron Curtain Labs you must go further back
than its corporate inception in the U.S. just 7 years ago.
You must trace it's history back to the Soviet Union, Romania,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and East Germany, during
the Post World War II period and examine the economic and
political climate that was responsible for its creation.
The Soviet Union was isolated diplomatically
and internationally from 1918 to 1939. Despite limited resources,
leaders of the Soviet Republic realized that their exhibition
and dominance in high performance sport on an international
level was necessary to champion their security and their lost
prominence as a world power. They learned from fascist Italy
and Nazi Germany that festively presented, high performance
sport produces inspiring heroes, strategic distractions, and
international acclaim. Consequently, the Soviets sought to
perfect their performance in all sports that participated
in International Olympic competition.
After 1945 with the stakes never so high, the
Soviet Union prepared to make whatever sacrifices necessary
to succeed. From their recruitment and subsidization of potential
stars to their scientific research on principles of movement
and performance, to their refinement of training techniques
and equipment, Soviets exploited any and all possible influencing
factors to exceed conventionally accepted limitations. Exercise
classes became mandatory at the workplace. Sports academies
were instituted to house and develop tomorrow's World Champions
that would represent their Republic. These sports would range
from the republic's politically accepted sports such as gymnastics
and weight lifting to other sports that were held in contempt
such as yachting due to their association with capitalism.
Slowly but surely, their strategy proved apparent
with modest performances at the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki,
followed by stronger performances in the Olympics at Melbourne
in 1956, then consistently delivering outstanding performances
onward.
The German Democratic Republic, once unable
to secure any degree of political recognition through conventional
diplomatic channels was able to claim its own flag, national
hymn, and international recognition as a force through their
athletes unparalleled exhibition at the Olympic Games.
The Deutsche Hochschule fur Korperkultur (German
College for Body Culture: D.H.f.K.) was founded in 1952, while
Leipzig was in total devastation. Dedicated solely to the
development of its country's champions this institution evolved
into a 100,000 seat stadium complete with state of the art
research institutes and training facilities, while virtually
all of East Germany's churches, libraries, and opera houses
remained in ruin.
The recruitment and isolation of East German
athletes commences around the ages of 4 to 6. Their physical
characteristics are measured, X-rayed, and carefully analyzed
to find such assets as the perfect tennis shoulder, a gymnasts
bone structure, muscular explosiveness etc. Socialist German
researchers have established norms for these and thousands
of other traits that indicate superior athletic potential.
What they look to produce are not so much students or teachers
of sport but "machines" or "products"
akin to what a car manufacturing plant would produce.
It is commonly known that manufacturers of computers
and autos take every conceivable precaution necessary to protect
their trade secrets from being stolen. Similarly, Eastern
Bloc countries that resided behind the notorious Iron Curtain
and dominated the sports arena, ruthlessly took every precaution
to protect their secrets (proven drug formulas or effective
training routines) that were largely responsible for their
ascent and standing in the international community.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the organization
and focus of the Eastern Bloc's dominance of athletic competition
quickly deteriorated. The economic and political factors that
surrounded the Iron Curtain and influenced its fervent participation
and obsession to dominate the arena of Olympic competition
were gone. Skills of esteemed coaches and sports scientists
were no longer subsidized and in demand.
Since its inception in the United States, Iron
Curtain Labs has found and recruited many of the Eastern Bloc's
most esteemed coaches and scientists. The same experts responsible
for producing the Eastern Bloc's greatest strength athletes.
Scientists who, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, would
have been executed for espionage if they dared to divulge
any of their expertise, are now able to share all of the Iron
Curtain's secrets. Secrets that their countries spent billions
of dollars on to secure dominance in the politically motivated
international sports arena.
Consequently, Iron Curtain Labs has established
itself as an international leader in the field of professional
sports nutrition and exercise physiology and has produced
through no coincidence some of the strongest and most powerful
athletes that walk the earth. World champions like Chris Confessore,
who officially bench pressed 741 pounds at a 236 pound bodyweight.

dramatic physical transformations and incredible athletic
achievements to Iron Curtain Labs High Performance Nutrition
