When you have over 160 naked muscle men trying to show off their beef and wave their cocks in your face, you know you have an amazing event. And for the past 16 years, the AFNB PowerDong has grown it's amateur-level contest to be one of the biggest amateur-level naked bodybuilding events in the world. And this is why it was big news when the IFNB announced that the PowerDong is in the final running to be granted IFNB pro-contest status.
"It's been the lifelong dream of mine [and the other two promoters of the AFNB PowerDong] to one day be crammed into a room full of nude horny athletes all trying to show off how much more aggressively sexual and well built they are," said the PowerDong's long-time head promoter Perry Arlon. "Now knowing that our efforts might become a world-class pro-level event make the years of work worth it!"
The PowerDong got it's start in 1982 as the NANEC Southern States. The NANEC (North American Naked Exhibition Conference) was an small, USA-based amateur naked bodybuilding league that went under in 1994, being absorbed into he AFNB. The NANEC Southern States was one of the struggling league's bigger events, which was why Perry Arlon was attracted to the contest in 1990.
"I had just competed for my fourth time at the Southern States in 1989," Arlon recalled. My coach Edward "Jack" Vetter approached me a week after the event and asked me if I wanted to switch from being a competitor to a promoter and try to take over the contest. I jumped at the opportunity!" Arlon and Vetter pulled in wealthy friend Chris Orit, and switched sanctions from the NANEC to the AFNB, along with changing the contests's name to the PowerDong Amateur Naked Bodybuilding Classic.
"We knew the NANED was struggling," Arlon explained. "The NANEC was one of the few leagues that had mandatory onstage jerk off round, which was fun but not necessarily as focused on bodybuilding. I remember frantically yanking my meat on stage with 12-15 other guys, trying to get off as many times as possible. It was exciting, but not really about bodybuilding, which is why the NANEC was not going to make it as a league overall."
Arlon, Vetter and Orit worked hard to bring in private sponsors to the event, even though it was an amateur-level contest. in 2008 the PowerDong was recognized as a pro-qualifying event, which means a win at the PowerDong earns a competitor a chance to turn pro in the IFNB. "You have to have that kind of clout if you want a contest to grow," Orit told us. "While you want to stay accessible to amateurs new to the sport, you really need to up the stakes of competition. Becoming a pro-qualifying amateur event attracted a stronger batch of amateur naked competitors, and it has improved ever since."
Which is why the PowerDong began petitioning for pro status in 2013. And this year the IFNB chairs put the growing contest on the short list of potential new IFNB pro events. "While we will always keep an amateur division at the PowerDong, the chance to host pro-level competitors is too amazing to turn up," Arlon said.
And where did the name PowerDong come from? Arlon laughs: "Oh, that's from the days when Jack Vetter was still coaching naked bodybuilding. He used to train hands-free cumming agility by power fucking his athletes for hours. You weren't allowed to touch your dick, and he wouldn't let top unless you shot your wad hands free. Sometimes he'd pound you for hours, and we were amazed at his stamina. He was nicknamed "Coach Power Dong" among his trainees, and so when its was time to rename the contest, we decided to commemorate the aggressive tactics he used to get dozens of young naked men on stage with strong handsfree cum posing skills."
