NANBF St.Louis Gateway Naturals Bodybuilding,
Figure & Xtreme Fit
October 25, 2008

Promoter: Shawna Meyer

On October 4th, at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium in Cleveland, Ohio, former NPC national competitor Dave Liberman promoted the 2008 “Vyotech Nutritionals” NPC Natural Ohio (open) Drug Tested Bodybuilding & Figure Championships along with co-promoter Todd Pember.

This contest was a personal record for this contest with 148 (NOT including crossovers), of the very best natural, drug free competitors in the Midwest and beyond, did battle on stage. This was one the largest NPC regional competition in the Midwest, attracting athletes from 14 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.

A very strict and expensive urine drug test was administered to the top 3 and 2 random competitors in each class. 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, a gym bag (courtesy of Bodybuilding.Com), Gamma-0 T-shirt (courtesy of Gamma-0), contest shaker bottle (courtesy of Infinite Labs), and goodie bags filled with free products from Worldwide Sports Nutrition, MET-Rx, Gaspari Nutrition, Labrada Nutrition, Biorythm, Beverly International magazine, BSN, Muscle Milk / Cytosport, Gamma-0, , Vyotech Nutritionals, Cellucor (along with T-shirts from Cellucor), Applied Nutriceuticals, World Gym Sheffield Village Ohio, Powerhouse Gym Elyria Ohio, Ultimate Nutrition, ALR, MRI, Beverly International, Parrillo Performance, Posedown Gifts & Apparel, Stem Enhance, and Ultra Trained Personal Training by Mr. Ohio Dave Liberman. The top 5 received impressive awards including 6` class winning trophies and overall champions receiving towering 8` trophies along with beautiful contest jackets. Souvenir programs listing every competitors name, respective class, city and state, along with full page advertisements for every sponsor, were given to all the athletes, judges, sponsors and everyone attending the evening Finals.

As with all of Liberman and Pember contests, $1,000.00 of the proceeds was donated to the American Cancer Society. Additionally, Dr. Debbie Freeman (Dr. Freeman, 54, who, along with top NPC figure competitor, Linda Reho, started a women’s athletic clothing line, “Infinity Designs”) donated $700.00 to the American Cancer Society in honor of her Mother who passed away from cancer 11 years ago, making the total donation amount of $1,700.00 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.

The highlight of the evening was 8 X Mr. Olympia, Ronnie Coleman, as the contest’s very special guest poser. Without a doubt, Mr. Olympia being in the house was the constant buzz throughout the day. The best bodybuilder in history showed up in exceptional shape for a guest poser and treated the fans to an incredible routine and later addressed the crowd. After which, Ronnie had most in the audience doubting just how “permanent” his retirement from competing actually will be. Time will tell. Next years, October 3rd, 2009 “Vyotech Nutritionals”NPC Natural Northern USA Drug Tested Bodybuilding, Figure & Bikini
Championships will feature very special guest poser, Arnold Classic Champion and 1st runner-up Mr. Olympia, Victor Martinez! Certainly not an event to missed by any fan!

Emcee, Body Fitness magazine’s Mike Lackner did another great job with wrapping up the event at a very reasonable 10:30 PM. Not an easy task considering all 148 competitors got to pose at the evening finals, along with the guest poser, and a thirty minute intermission for fans to shop the exhibitor area.

The next Liberman and Pember production will be the April 4th, 2009 “Vyotech Nutritionals” NPC Ohio (open) Drug Tested Bodybuilding, Figure & Bikini Championships which will be held at the Lakewood Civic Auditorium, and very special guest poser will be none other than 2 X MR. OLYMPIA, JAY CUTLER!

This will be a very special event! For sponsorship, entry and ticket information, contact Dave Liberman at 1-(440)-942-5634 or Todd Pember at 1-(440)-984-2762 or log onto:

For Natural Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure Competitors, one of the more tedious and time consuming tasks in getting ready to compete is making travel arrangements for out of town shows. Time spent making hotel, flight and car rental arrangements is time that could be spent on other contest prep tasks. To make things a little easier for competitors, NaturalBodybuildingEvents.com has launched it’s Competitor Travel Resource Center which lists many of the best Travel websites.

If you are traveling to any of the upcoming Natural Championship shows, or are just looking to take a vacation after you have finished your competitions for 2008, drop take a look at the Competitor Travel Resource Center on NaturalBodybuildingEvents.com

http://www.naturalbodybuildingevents.com/travel.html

Natural bodybuilding has come a long way from its early days. There are now more natural bodybuilding shows than ever before from a variety for sanctioning organizations.

When choosing a competition, it is important for bodybuilders to know about as many contests as possible. It is also important for competitors to know about all of the various Natural Bodybuilding Organizations and what they have to offer.

One of the first things a new competitor should do is to attend as many competitions as possible. Attending competitions allows the new competitor watch some contests before you decide to enter one yourself. The reason for that is you will be able to see for yourself how contestants put their routines together and how the winners stand out from the other competitors. Also, new competitors are able to take note of the music they use, the tempo of the music and the poses that are used. Attending shows also can provide access to veteran bodybuilders and judges who will usually answer any questions you may have.

There is a lot that can be done as contest prep as much as six months to a year before the competition is set down. It takes a lot of commitment and if you are not sure you can follow through then it is best not to try.

In order to locate Bodybuilding Events in your area, it is important to have access to a Bodybuilding Event Calendar. One of the best ones available is http://www.naturalbodybuildingevents.com. This site provides a Bodybuilding Event Schedule by date and location from all of the Natural Bodybuilding organizations.

This camp is not just for those who do compete (Sports & Fitness Models, figure & fitness) but for any woman!  We love to share what we know about health & fitness. 
So many of us try & try again to get fit & stay that way but daily stress, work & so many other factors make it hard. 
I find that 90% of most people’s problem to continue their fitness regime is motivation or knowing how to change what they do for positive gains & maximum fat loss. 
 
Competitors have these secrets!  We know how to stay focused, positive & motivated.  Alot of this starts in your own mind first!  Come & get a HUGE dose of KNOWLEGDE.POSITIVITY.MOTIVATION.

Girls, jump on board for Model Camp & come & have a great time, meet people who have the same interests you do!  Keep in mind, not everyone is size 6! 

This camp is not about your size, its about you being YOU!

The camp wants all women, no matter who you are, to be part of this!

Our sponsors are part of what makes this camp fantastic!
 
Australian Sports Nutrition - Shop with the experts! (These guys know their stuff, need to get the right advice, ASN are the people to talk to)

Galileo Whole Body Vibration - One of my favorite sponsors who support my training with their fantastic vibration machines (I even have one at home)

Guys this is for you too! You can admire some of Australia’s most beautiful women by getting involved in Model Camp! Want to be a Judge? (A competition will be held)

Hillary Jones, LA Based Model who has competed here in Australia will be coming back to share secrets from what she see’s & hear’s overseas!

She has so much to tell us… knowledge is power.  Hils has been to a few INBA comps in the USA & is seriously impressed!
