This blog is not primarily financially driven. My intention is to build a community of people interested in muscle testing, selling by effortless persuasion, philosophy, biomechanics and some really cool gear.
That said, beginning December 1, 2009, the FTC requires bloggers to provide disclosures whenever there could be hidden interests or unspoken biases related to recommendations.
Per the FTC rules, if I interview someone and they grab the bill for lunch, I would need to specify this. Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a piece of gear and I shoot a video on how to muscle test it, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place.
This would be tedious for me and a continual eye sore for readers. But ‘rules is rules’. Hey, I’m Canadian – does this even apply to me??? Well, better safe than sorry and the disclaimer pics are really cool.
To cover my ass and preserve your reading experience, please assume that, for every recommendation, link, and product I use, the following all hold true:
