POWERDONG MUSCLE CLASSIC 2016 3

BROAD RANGE OF PROS AT ALL LEVELS
BRINGS EXCITEMENT, ANTICIPATION FROM FANS

BIG DONGS, BIGGER HOPES:  AminCum® Brand Ambassadors and sponsored athletes Gerard Repitti and
Vanu Daprit mingle with fans and vendors as AminCum sets up it's booth.  Repitti and Daprit are among
the six athletes sponsored by AminCum, which helped these lower-ranked pros afford to enter the PowerDong.

The PowerDong Muscle Classic is a down home event for muscle cock athletes.  It is the kind of show every horny, nude muscle stud wants to attend, just because of it's friendly atmosphere and enthusiastic energy.  Often considered one of the "homecoming shows" for the pros of nude muscle sports, it is the contest that pros of all levels want to do more for the fun experience than for a need to  improve their standing in the pro ranks.

And yet, fun or not, the PowerDong is a major IFNB event, and so competition is the purpose to the proceedings.  And when competition gets heated up, as we all know often lesser pros get shoved to the side, forgotten or overlooked once the big names start dominating the landscape.  Which is why many lesser-ranked pros tend to solicit lucrative sponsorships to help bounty the work it takes to get ahead in the ranks – and thus have a chance to get into the game at shows like the PowerDong.

Of the 216 pro naked bodybuilders entering the contest, only 22 rank as Elite Level.  This means the PowerDong will be an event that shows fans the full range of professional nude muscle.  While fans always want to see the big names in the game, the PowerDong has always been a show fans appreciate for it's range of talent.

"In the PowerDong Southern States [the PowerDong's affiliate contest in the USA], we have seen the smaller and more hopeful pros for years," said Jack Vetter, Mr PowerDong himself and one of the early founders of the PowerDong.  "Getting these smaller naked muscle boys a chance to get ahead was always a mission for me as a coach of nude muscle, and then as a promoter.  Seeing that the PwerDong Muscle Classic here in Canada has not lost sight of our original mission just because they have grown into an international event does me good.  I am glad to see the smaller, less-famous and future hopeful contenders will be getting lots of attention during the competition."

Indeed, the elimination bar has been raised for the event, allowing more mingling of pros of different calibers.  As you know, in any naked bodybuilding contest, competitors are eliminated if they can not maintain minimum scoring, nicknamed the "bar" of performance.  Yet that scoring range is shifted based not he competitor field, and the PowerDong's has been set comfortably low, allowing more variety to get more stage time in the contest – which fills a lot of lesser known pros with a lot of hope!

"I have chased the pro circuit for four years now," said pro Lightweight competitor Vanu Diprit.  "And while I have a ways to go to be close tot he Mr. Alpha stage, I still always want more and more attention on my muscle and fat cock. The reason athletes are drawn tot he sport is to get a chance to have men everywhere admire our thick, horny cocks and praise our remarkable muscle.  But on the pro circuit sometimes it can be hard to get recognized.  Which is why I was psyched to get sponsored for the PowerDong, and get a chance to fight among pros at my level."

Diprit has, as all pro bodybuilders do, private sponsors, but also has to supplement his naked muscle lifestyle by taking on corporate sponsorships.  Diprit is represented by AminCum® brand amino cum enhancer, who is also sponsoring 5 other athletes in addition to Diprit.  Many of the brands showing up for the convention expo attached to the PowerDong have sponsorship with athletes in the competition, which helps promote their brand and also keep more athletes in the game.

"Since I was young all I wanted to do is flex my muscles for people until I was so turned on that I spew cum on those admiring me,"  Diprit smiled.  "Knowing that I will get my chance on a stage as major as this makes all these years of hard gym work and relentless cock enhancement worth it!"

POWERDONG MUSCLE CLASSIC 2016 2

REIGNING IFNB 2X MR. ALPHA JK ROHER 
COMPETING IN THE 2016 POWERDONG! 

WORLD CHAMPION STILL A MAN OF THE PEOPLE:  A fan gets a selfie with the world's current top naked
bodybuilder, weighing Mr. Alpha JK Roher.  Roher's entrance was both completely nude and completely unexpected!

The first day of registrations for the 2016 PowerDong kicked off with a surprise that took excited fans by storm.  Unless you've been under a rock, you have already heard the social media buzz: reigning two-time IFNB Mr. Alpha, JK Roher has entered the SuperHeavyweight class!

Roher, the youngest Mr. Alpha in IFNB history, has always been beloved by fans for the way he makes himself so accessible.  Known for regular marketing stunts that bring him directly in contact with fans in exciting ways.  "It's all part of his mission," his publicist told us in an email.  "Mr. Roher seeks to promote the sport of nude bodybuilding by allowing fans to admire his perfect, dominant shape up close, and allow them to appreciate the shape of a real man and flatter him in person."

Roher's most recent fan junket was the summer-long self-promotion that kept him out of competition for several months.  The promotion, as you probably already know, was the "JKR: Hard At The Gym Tour," where Roher showed up at local gyms naked and hard unannounced.  "I know a chance to be in my awesome presence would make any dude get to the gym as much as possible," Roher said of his stunt. "So I both get the attention my perfect body and cock deserve, but also encourage men to dedicate to the gym more!"

Apparently, the entire Hard At The Gym promotion was a long set-up for this very-surprise entry into the PowerDong.   No one knew Roher would be competing, and while pros have to pre-register, Elite pros are allowed day-of entry.

Many competitors are obviously intimidated by the idea of being in a contest with the known-best.  However, Roher is usually known for improving over the run of contest rounds, giving some of the lower-ranked pros at least a chance to shine a little in the Super heavyweights.

ARE YOU EXCITED THAT MR. ALPHA JK ROHER WILL BE COMPETING AFTER SUCH A LONG BREAK?

HAVE YOU SEEN ROHER COMPETE BEFORE NOW?

POWERDONG MUSCLE CLASSIC 2016 1

IFNB POWERDONG MUSCLE CLASSIC
GRANTED ELITE PRO LEVEL STATUS THIS YEAR!

POWERING MUSCLE CLASSIC POSTER:  This year's sparsely designed poster for the IFNB 2016 PowerDong Classic
shows how head promoter Jean Trubot is both a power player among promotersyet also known for being incredibly frugal,
 preferring to lavish profits on the pros at his contests rather than frills for the attendees. 

For years the Editors at the IFNB Report have received countless emails asking why we have never covered the IFNB PowerDong Classic.  Now in it's 17th year, the PowerDong has long been a pro level nude bodybuilding competition known for it's celebration atmosphere and remarkably high attendance of pros.  Indeed, the PowerDong is often a favorite competition among pros, much due to the PowerDong's head promoter Jean Trubot, who has run the contest for 12 of it's 17 long years.  Trubot is known for treating the pro muscle alphas of the sport like rarified royalty, and few expenses are spared in ensuring the competitors are well taken care of during the contest.

The PowerDong Muscle Classic in Canada shares it's name with a USA competition also named PowerDong.  The confusion was due to the founder of both shows, promoter Edward "Jack" Vetter, never presuming both would end up at the pro level.  The Canadian PowerDong Muscle Classic has been pro for a long time, while it's causing in the USA remained at the amateur level.  yet last year the USA's PowerDong also was granted IFNB pro level status, creating two naked bodybuilding contests with the same name: the PowerDong Southern States in the USA, and the PowerDong Muscle Classic in Canada.

To help maintain a distinction between the two contests, this year the IFNB has deemed the PowerDong Canada an Elite Pro Level event, while the USA PowerDong remains a Base Pro Event.  Between this distinction and the PowerDong's positioning in the year as a contest where Elite Pros secure their invitation to the Mr. Alpha – a factor that Trubot has gone to great pains to promote – we found a great motivation to cover this event.

"I would not say this contest will be a preview of the upcoming Mr. Alpha," Trubot told us.  "But I am expecting some impressive cocks and muscle in this line up.  We have always attracted the Elite Level pros, but the fact that this year's contest is officially Elite status fills us with hopes that the event will be more exciting than ever."

Adding to the excitement is the annual PowerDong Muscle Sports Expo.  Now in it's 7th yea,r the PowerDong Expo is the second largest nude muscle sports industry event in North America, after the expansive FreaXpo, but this year they seem to really giving the FreaXpo a run for it's money.  The PowerDong Expo has over 600 presenters and booths, as well as an impressive array of all nude events and demonstrations.  It is no doubt going to be a thrill for any dedicated fan to naked muscle and male cock power.

Good luck to the competitors at the PowerDong, and we look forward to bringing you our coverage of the event!
