NPC Mother Lode | NPC Nevada Bodybuilding

OCTOBER 17, 2026

RENO, NV

The NPC Mother Lode is a visual extravaganza! The show hearkens back to before the Golden Days of bodybuilding, to a time when muscles could be found only at freak shows and inside dirty red-and-white-striped tents.

Our audience will want to jump from their seats with inspiration as they watch their favorite athletes compete for the coveted Mother Lode trophy. All will take place on a stage whose visuals are second only to the stunning athletes who will grace our stage.

Can’t make it in person? Dont worry, thanks to Tower Biologics you can watch the live stream for FREE!
