What about in the Midwest - novice -? I am totally new to competing but have been wondering...

Do I have to join the NPC to be able to compete in NPC shows?

Yes--you have to join the NPC to compete in NPC events. You can typically do so "at the door"--I believe this year the fee for membership is $90.

Yeah, I can't find anything around here. I found one show in Wichita put on by the gym chain I work out at and it's called the All natural diamond classic or some shit like that. The all natural part is what I wonder about.

I tried to get a hold of the promoter, sent him a few gym pics as he requested, and he wanted me to drive up there on weekends to work with him. I just can't to that right now. So, maybe I'll have to look at Colorado?

Shit, I'll be in the Master's class before I am ready anyways!
