Stamford, CT GAT (German American Technologies), home of the Jetfuel® brand of diet and energy products, is proud to announce signing IFBB Pro Eugene Mishin as a GAT athlete and spokesmodel for Nitraflex, GAT’s globally popular premier pre-workout hyperemia and testosterone enhancing powder.

Charles Moser, CEO and innovator at GAT, said, “Eugene (Evgeny) Mishin is on an exciting trajectory to international recognition in health and fitness. We’re proud to sponsor his continuing rise to fame.”

His teenage years were spent studying wrestling and karate, and he later discovered bodybuilding. In 1994, Eugene entered his first competition in St. Petersburg, placing 4th in the Junior division. In the following years, he placed 3rd, then 2nd, all while continuing his education. He graduated St. Petersburg University with a Bachelor's degree in Physical Culture.

He started increasing his mass, and in 1995, took 1st in the national Championship of Russia. And again in 1997, for powerlifting. In 1998-2002, he took three all around champion of body building prizes, and was named Mr. Russia and Mr. Europe.

By then, his career path in massive competition bodybuilding was clear. By 1998, he placed 5th in the Super Heavy division in the St. Petersburg contest. He won his IFBB Pro card in 2003. And after placing high in the New York Night of Champions in 2004, he decided to move to New York.
Eugene has continued his high placements in subsequent shows and has won in the Europa Orlando 2010, New York Pro 2010, Olympia 2010, and Europa 2011. He now maintains top contest-ready form at 290 lbs. contest-ready (350 lbs off-season).

Eugene also starred as a powerlifting body builder powering a humorous creative concept in a 2011 nationally broadcast “Epic” DirecTV commercial.

He’s currently training for the annual Mr Olympia competition beginning September 15, 2011.
