PDI ANNOUNCES THE SIGNING OF ANDREAS FREY TO COMPETE IN NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS
Pro Division Inc is proud to announce that Andreas Frey has signed a contract to compete in NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS XXVII, Saturday, September 16th, at the Town Hall Theater in New York City.
Andreas Frey is one of the young, new, upcoming stars in the world of Professional Bodybuilding. At 26 years old, Andreas has already garnered many titles and is looking to accomplish much more in his future competitions in the professional ranks of PDI.
Andreas has won the NAC Mr. Germany title, is a three time winner of the NABBA International/NAC Mr. World title, and was the 2005 overall NABBA International/NAC Mr. Universe winner. Andreas will be one of the most imposing competitors on stage at the 2006 NOC standing just over 6’ 3” and will weigh on contest day slightly more than 280 pounds. Andreas also has his own nutrition company in Europe, Frey Nutrition.
Having only competed in Europe, Andreas will be making his first competitive appearance in the United States at Night of Champions this September.
Andreas remarks, “I am very excited about making my pro debut in New York at Night of Champions. I have read about this event in magazines in Europe from the first time I lifted a weight. I have heard about the enthusiastic fans and I cannot wait to step onstage in front of them. I think I have what it takes to bring the house down in New York at NOC. I promise to be in my all-time best shape.”
Pro Division CEO Wayne S. DeMilia states, “Andreas is the type of physique PDI wants to present to the fans. He is an athlete with an imposing physique yet will be one of the youngest competitors on stage. With impressive combination of size and symmetry, we are sure that Andreas will quickly become a crowd favorite in New York.”
Anyone wishing to purchase tickets for Night of Champions or if there are athletes wishing to join PDI, they should contact us at prodivisioninc@yahoo.com.

Very good physique!
Here come the European pros......

mmmmmm
Very nice

looks like atlas, you can almost see the world on his shoulders
-
tight mid section

I'd just wish they'd drop the "NABBA International" part and just call it NAC. "NABBA International" is the faux NABBA, really just one guy, Jose Lopez.

wow, one of the gayest comment ever.

This guy is going to be great for the PDI. Really nice guy who is very friendly and has a very good look. Veyr popular in Europe. He competes around 270 his off season he still has abs at 320lbs. Wayne told me when he arrived in New York a few weeks ago for a phot shoot that everyone at the airport was just staring and taking pics of this guy. Very model like. The PDI answer to Gunter till he comes over.

monster posterboy. He's a lot bigger than priest and 'prettier' too. But lee has him on arms and maturation. Priest's chest will look like a childs next to him. Rhino will be about the same height and weight and have more maturity. Vinny will be a slightly (i think?) smaller version with better symmetry and maturation. Then Taylor, King, Jones... wow... the PDI is not going to have any gh bellies onstage, are they?

240, what's the story behind that picture? ??? ;D

Wow....
He's the owner of Frey Nutrition. Wonder how much money did he have to fork over???

It's alot bigger than one man. Can you explain why many of the original officials from the "real" NABBA bailed and affiliated themselves with the "faux" NABBA when the split occured ??? They can't all be wrong for siding with Lopez if the reasons behind the NABBA split didn't have some truth to it.

there was no split. As I was told: Jose Lopez was president of NABBA Australia when he was arrested on a drug charge. When he got off on a technicality, he tried to resume his duties as head of NABBA Australia. NABBA said thanks but no thanks. He got upset and formed NABBA International. No one recognizes NABBA International as the "real" NABBA. The only contests with the NABBA International name have been the ones that NAC has put on.
The only countries that seem to be aligned with Jose Lopez's NABBA is New Zealand and Greece. Yet Greece has sent athletes to the other (real) NABBA World Championships as well.
NAC is its own org, and it's doing well. Jose Lopez just slaps his name on their contests. In Europe the posters they used to advertise their Universe and their World Championships last year all had NAC on it. NABBA wasn't even mentioned.

I'm assuming that the story you heard came from Klaus Hoffman (who also runs WFF - BTW did you know that there is also another WFF based I think in Latvia?), Bob Gruskin and Graeme Lancefield?
I personally know a few competitors who were with NABBA for more than 10 years, but they also decided to support the "faux" NABBA and they know the history and story behind the split. Incase you weren't aware, it had alot to do with misappropiation (sp?) of money/accounts as well as number of other things.
The story you heard about Jose isn't all true - yes he did time, but it was at the recommendation of Jose that Lancefield was brought in as temporary Australian president. During that time Lancefield became close to Hoffman, and started pushing the WFF and he wanted to stay in charge when Jose was ready to resume his role. In Australia, NABBA is closely associated with the WFF - in fact more support is given to the fitness orientated WFF than bodybuildings NABBA, and is now promoted as a NABBA/WFF event. A lot of Australian bbers are pissed over the way things have be run, especially the fact that no large teams are sent to the Worlds/Universe anymore especially when compared to when Jose ran the organisation and would send up to 12 athletes.
As for it being a Jose Lopez,New Zealand and Greece affair - not true..... Spain, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Thailand, Belgium, Greece, Switzerland, Serbia and Montenegro, Ukraine, UK, Slovakia, Argentina, Colombia, Morocco, Holland, Phillipines, Uganda, Turkey, Pakistan as well as competitors from Australia and USA are also represented. Competitors who also compete in the "real" NABBA, also compete with Lopez's NABBA - so it's no surprise to me that athletes are jumping back and forth :) http://www.nabba-international.org (http://www.nabba-international.org)
In regards to Klaus Hoffman and his WFF, he has also been accused by the "other" WFF for the same things that resulted in the split of NABBA. Edmundas Daubaras is the president of WFF, and he also works with the "faux" NABBA/NAC. The NAC is run by the same guys who were part of the original German NABBA guys years ago, but for some reason they decided to sever ties with Klaus, NABBA and WFF and join the "faux" crew. I wonder why?

Personally I think that all this bitching between the two groups is pathetic, and I could care less who is the real "NABBA" and who is right or wrong, just as long they keep putting on the shows and competitors have shows to do.

the thing is, it's perfectly ok for someone to leave one org and form another. if the German delgation left NABBA and formed NAC, more power to them. but when Lopez is told his services are no longer needed, and a criminal record is a valid reason to not want someone to be your representative for an entire country, he doesn't just declare that he's the real president of the Australian chapter, he declares himself the president of the whole thing. If he wants to start his own org, that's ok, just come up with a new name.
Grimek, Reeves and Schwarzenegger all won the NABBA Universe. Charles Mario won that same contest in 2005. Andreas Frey won a different contest, the NAC Universe.

damn, this is more confusing than calculus was

This guy looks amazing, the sad thing is.. I'm not sure if he ever competed in the IFBB. If he didn't, I would think he would have done great!

he would have to spend 3 years doing nationals/USA NPC events to 'pay his dues', which is a logistical nightmare for a guy living on limited means in his country, GER. Also, he'd be 30 or 31 before he got his pro card, with everyhting else perfect.
Why not jump at age 26 and cash in now? PDI doesn't put in that 3-5 year roadblock to a pro card like NPC does.

I hope you're joking. He would just need to win his country's IFBB national championships. Dennis Wolf would have been his main competition. How does he compare to Dennis?
