About Matthew

Matthew Petrinitz

I grew up in North Carolina and I was always monkeying around from a young age. My parents had to wrestle my brother and I off of the door frames. In highschool I fell in love with weightlifting and fell down the health and wellness rabbit hole only to find that my relationship with the barbell wasn’t so healthy. I knew I needed to stay active and turned to my local rock wall and fell in love immediately. 


The friends I made from climbing became my closest, the memories I made climbing became my favorites. I was, and still am, completely consumed by my love for this sport and the incredible people it attracts. Through my background in weightlifting, I had experience with traditional shaker bottle pre-workouts, energy drinks, and coffee, but none of them really seemed to meet my needs at the crag. You can't really stuff an open can in your pad & everyone with a shaker bottle has a popped lid horror story. 


Gummy bears and gummy worms were a crag tradition. For the collagen, for the flavor, for the sugar. After the 100th time my friends and I dug into a bag of candy at the crag, I looked at the gummies and thought: why not put my preworkout in something I already bring to the crag & the rest is history.
