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 on the inside of dirty red and white striped tents.
This show will inspire and ENTERTAIN like no other! Our competitors will star in our opening act with costumes, music, celebrity guests, and acrobatic exhibitions!
Our audience will want to jump from their seats with inspiration as they watch their favorite athletes battle for the coveted Mother Lode trophy and free entry and lodging at our NPC Worldwide Invictus Pro Qualifier. Plus the very best of the overall winners will receive a flight to our Pro Qualifier! All will take place on a stage whose visuals are second only to the stunning athletes who will grace our stage. What’s more, is a carnival of fitness vendors at our venue’s doorstep, bringing you steals on the most interesting fitness-enhancing products and wares.
The whole event, everything; check-ins, tanning, make-up, and the show take place under one roof. We give you generous competitor bags loaded with the goods from our sponsors.
Show Hosts: Eric the Trainer & Zach Sudfeld!
