RENO, NV (June 25, 2020) – The NPC Mother Lode is an amateur bodybuilding competition sanctioned by the National Physique Committee. All types of male and female athletes will bring their best physiques to the stage in the following divisions: Fitness, Bikini, Bodybuilding, Classic Physique, Men’s Physique, Women’s Physique, Figure, and the new Wellness category!  This 3rd annual event for Reno is expecting 150+ athletes to compete for custom championship trophies, a coveted NPC National Qualification, and a chance to win a trip to compete in the NPC Worldwide International Russia Championship in Moscow, Russia for IFBB professional status!

Due to COVID-19 safety precautions and state guidelines, the competition will be for athletes only without spectators for this NPC Mother Lode event. Everyone who would like to see the event can do so via Livestream for $19.95 on www.centerpodium.com, from 10 AM to 9 PM (approximately)

“The world is a much more different place than many realize. Of course, the logistical challenges are monumental. And as we wade through these challenges, many partners have a ‘we’re all in this together’ attitude. They search for new solutions and win-win scenarios. With these partners, we’ve been able to rethink and reinvent to make sure the show goes on for our dedicated, determined, and extremely hard-working athletes. We can reassess our old habits and see that in many ways, we could be doing things better. At the end of the day, this event will be different but not inferior. When we come out of the other side, the new ways we had to think will make everything better than before,” said Chris Minnes, founder of NPC Mother Lode and Center Podium Productions.
