2005 NPC Teen, Collegiate, and Masters National Championships, Pittsburgh

The 2005 NPC Teen, Collegiate and Masters National Championships were held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on July 22-23, at the Sheraton-Station Square Hotel. As usual, Gary Udit promoted and MC'd the show. Major sponsors included Flex magazine, ABB/Optimum Nutrition, Vyotech, Worldwide Nutrition, and Twinlab. The turnout of competitors was huge: 325 all told. The increase occurred for several reasons: more Collegiate men competed than usual; and more women showed up because of the new IFBB pro card offered to the women's Masters bodybuilding winner, as well as increased interest in the Masters women's Figure over 35 competition. As usual, Masters men's prejudging took place on Friday evening; all other categories were judged starting at 9:00 a.m. Saturday. The evening show began on time at 6:00 p.m, ending after midnight because of the sheer number of competitors. The men who won the over-40 and over-50 overall (Chuck Sanow and Abdul Sharif) are qualified to compete in IFBB Masters shows, and can be approved for other IFBB shows as well. No women's Pro Masters show yet exists, so the winner (Robin Parker) is qualified for IFBB women's shows. Udit announced that next year's show will be at the same venue on July 21-22, 2006.
