Biography
Hunter Labrada was born in Texas and was quite the football player. Despite his dad being bodybuilding legend, Lee Labrada, Hunter loved football and sought to make that his dream and career.

Supplementation
While Hunter uses his own supplements of choice, there are some staple products on a bodybuilder’s shelf. A protein powder is perfect for seeing gains and working to pump you with vital protein to aid in things like muscle growth, recovery, and even weight loss, since this works to keep you more full.
