Author Topic: Criteria For Being A PDI Pro (Read 5560 times)

RHINO290 · « **on:** June 21, 2006, 08:17:43 AM »

For those who don't get it. Here is the Criteria.

1)An Ifbb Pro
2)Have won an overall national/World championship-Non NPC event(NABBA,etc.)
3)Have won class in a national NPC event(N. America/national/USA)

With Wayne Demilia having the final word on this. For example, just because you are an ifbb pro, does not guarentee PDI Pro staus. But id you don't fall under one of the top 3 catergories, it won't even be considered.

My question, why would someone have a problem with that criteria?

I'm not so familiar with NABBA (as I'm sure they don't have as many contests as the NPC)
so for the average genetically gifted meathead the NPC would be the way to go........

why doesn't the PDI promote within it's own ranks the chance to turn pro
with a amateur division?

It most certainly is. The Orland qualifier has been postponed unitll april. But there is an amateur show on friday the night before the NOC. Top 2 in each weight class will earn a pro card, and the chance to compete in the Night of Champions.

Mike, that means you could do it.........and you should

there are so many good guys out there..............
plus what it costs financially to get ready for a show (my food bill was crazy!)
you got to have a deep love for the sport (which i do)
because you sure aren't going to get rich bodybuilding............ ..

Seriously though Jack,

When you crack the Top 2

Are you going to put together a DVD?

Also is there going to be a exhibition the day/night before the NOC with supplement booths and such?

Just make it fun and interactive.

Not "Now I'm gonna do arms"
"Now I'm gonna do legs" etc etc

Maybe some hidden/backend stuff of quick excerpts/interviews with Co-Workers, what's it like working with a behemoth

Put your house, cars etc (unless of course you have a studio and a 72 Pinto)

Maybe a little more in-depth of why you do certain exercises over others

I thought you won a local contest, the Keystone State Classic. Or is there some other national event you've won too?

How did you qualify?

Yes, I won the overall Nabba North America.

I also took 3rd in the Nabba world championships, but that does not qualify me.
