On October 7th, at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio, former NPC national competitor Dave Liberman promoted the 2006 “Vyotech Nutritionals†NPC Natural Northern USA Drug Tested Bodybuilding & Figure Championships along with co-promoter Todd Pember. This contest generated 123 (NOT including crossovers), of the very best natural, drug free competitors in the Midwest and beyond. This was one of the largest NPC regional events in Ohio history, attracting athletes from 13 states across the country. The evening Finals had 1,000 fans in the seats along with over 500 figure and bodybuilding enthusiasts in the house during the morning/afternoon Prejudging.

This is the same drug test used in the Olympic Games. It can detect the use of anabolic steroids, diuretics and clenbuterol (an illegal fat-loss drug) for up to one year.
Features making this contest special included all the competitors performing their routines during the evening Finals and everyone (from 1st to last place) receiving competitor awards, a contest T-shirt (courtesy of chemicallyengineered.com), a gym bag (courtesy of Bodybuilding.Com), Gamma-0 T-shirt (courtesy of Gamma-0), contest water bottle (courtesy of Dr. Debbie Freeman), and goodie bags (courtesy of Pinnacle /Cytodyne and Five Tetra). The top 5 received impressive awards including 6` class winning trophies and overall champions receiving towering 8` trophies along with beautiful contest jackets (courtesy of chemicallyengineered.com). Souvenir programs listing every competitors name, respective class, city and state, along with full page ads for every sponsor, was given to all the athletes, judges, sponsors and everyone attending the evening Finals.
As with all of Liberman and Pember’s contests, $1,000.00 of the proceeds was donated to the American Cancer Society. Additionally, Host Sponsor, Geoff DelGrosso, owner of Titan’s 24 Hour Gym, Fitness & Tanning Center in Mentor, Ohio donated $1,200.00. Dr. Debbie Freeman (Dr. Freeman, 54, lost 85 lbs to compete in the masters Figure, 50 & Over, division and credits the bodybuilding and figure lifestyle in beating her battle with diabetes) donated $1,350.00 to the American Cancer Society in honor of her Mother who passed away from cancer, making the total donation amount of $3,550.00 going to the American Cancer Society. Dave and Todd remain committed to this charity and will continue to support the American Cancer Society at all of their future NPC competitions.
