NPC Mother Lode
NPC Mother Lode
Grand Sierra Resort | NPC National Qualifier | May 8, 2021
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 only be found at freak shows and on the inside of dirty red and white striped tents.
This show is the show will ENTERTAIN like no other! If you are competing, you will star in our opening act with costumes, live music, a celebrity guest poser, and acrobatic exhibitions! From the audience enjoy your red velour seats in our stunning theater and watch your favorite athlete while being stunned by an incredible opening performance, guest posing to a LIVE STRING QUARTET, and a closing act that will BLOW YOUR MIND.
After the show, we’ll all meet up at off-the-chain LEX Nightclub located 20 feet from the showroom. Competitors get in free. Overall winners chill in the Center Podium VIP booth with some top IFBB Pros.
The whole event, everything; competitor meeting, check-ins, tanning, make-up, and the show take place under one roof at the Grand Sierra Resort. The back stage is huge. It includes multiple green rooms, pump up room, restrooms and showers! We give you FAT competitor bags loaded with the goods from our sponsors.
