What Does The P Stand For In NPC?
To all NPC promoters, judges, competitors, sponsors, etc:
I have been an NPC athlete for over 17 years and have competed in over
50 events. My trainer resume contains over 80 champions and hundreds of
competitors. Many in the community have called me the "Nutritional Guru" of
competitive bodybuilding. My record outside of the bodybuilding world has
been quite extensive in the field of weight loss. Many happy clients will attest to my credibility and honesty. My record speaks for itself. ENOUGH SAID!!
Now down to business. The situation of competitive bodybuilding has
become extremely political. Notice how I refer to bodybuilding as a situation and
not a sport. Many moons ago I entered the world of competitive bodybuilding.
A dozen years of weight training prepared me for the next step or so I
thought. Upon entering this area of endeavor I got the feeling I was an
outsider and wasn't considered to be in "the clique".
Cool enough! I didn't care to be anyway! All I wanted to do was train, learn,
get better and compete my ass off! Never once did I solicit or force my
training and nutritional techniques on anyone. Within two seasons as a
competitor other bodybuilders began seeking my help because they desired the
ripped hard, shredded condition I showed up in time after time. Bodybuilders
respect conditioning a lot more than judges do in my viewpoint. How else
would a guy with so few titles have so many successful competitors?
Being involved so extensively gave me a lot of insight on the main players. You
know, judges, promoters, sponsors, groupies, etc. It's like one big happy
FAMILY, especially if you're in the NPC FAMILY! Which of course I'm not,
especially since I'm formally resigning from the NPC if one can indeed do
this. Why? I guess because I'm disgusted with the whole SITUATION! In my view
it keeps getting worse. I could go on and on about why the NPC is not what it
is cracked up to be. I would rather seek answers from competitors and
supporters. After all they are the ones who pay money on NPC dues, entry
fees, tickets, etc. Many are caught up in the aftermath of poor decisions of
loved ones or themselves and deserve an explanation.
What Do YOU Think?
In order to explain the abundance of negative feedback I have been given about the judging I have devised a group of hypothetical questions on what you the audience, competitors, and hardcore associates think the REAL DEAL is behind NPC competitive bodybuilding.
