SPORTSFORMUSCLE — THE STORY BEHIND THE GRIND
I’m Michael C. — born and raised in the Bronx.
Not the easy Bronx. The real Bronx.
The one where you grow up fast, learn to fight young, and hustle even younger.
I didn’t come from money.
I didn’t come from comfort.
I came from a home where survival was the first lesson and responsibility was the second.
While other kids were dreaming, I was working.
Two jobs. Three Jobs. Extra Part-time time Jobs, and Overtime.
Whatever it took — I did it.
I wasn’t chasing luxury.
I was chasing stability.
I was chasing a future for the two people who gave my life meaning:
Amber and Mikey — my kids, my pride, my heart.
Everything I’ve built, every hour I worked, every sacrifice…
It was all for them.
Today, I’m blessed to be engaged to Melissa, a woman who believes in me, supports the mission, and stands beside me as I build something bigger than clothes.

WHY I STARTED SPORTSFORMUSCLE
Because I know what it feels like to have nothing.
I know what it feels like to grow up without the money for name brands…
without the fancy sports gear…
without the things everyone else had.
So I decided to build a brand for people who grind like I did.
A brand for:
The single parents
The dream chasers
The underdogs
The everyday athletes
The people who don’t get handouts—only obstacles
The ones who push through anyway
SportsforMuscle is affordable, high-quality, and always free shipping — because I refuse to make anyone struggle just to feel good in their own clothes.
This brand is for families, for fighters, for workers, for believers.
It’s for the kid in the Bronx who didn’t think he’d make it.
It’s for the adult version of that kid who refused to quit.
It’s for my children, who motivate me every single day.
It’s for the future I’m building.

✔ Hard work
✔ Family values
✔ Discipline

Every shirt, every hoodie, every piece of gear carries the message:
“You can come from nothing — and still build everything.”
This is my story.
This is our story.
This is SportsforMuscle.
