2005 NPC National Bodybuilding Championships

**Trick D** · 11-04-2005, 07:08 PM

The NPC Nationals who have had such winners as Capriese Murray, Chris Cook, Kris Dim, David Henry, and others in just the last few years! The great thing about the nationals is that everyone who finishes first in their weight class gets a pro card. So you will get some middle weights that can do some damage in the future in the pro ranks like David Henry which other wise probably wouldn't have a chance at a pro card.

This year we have many people that can cause damage in the pro ranks who are competing this year.

Super Heavies:
The person who I am guaranteeing will win the super heavies is Bill Willmore.

Bill has finished 2nd two years in a row to Mat Duval and Chris Cook. Last year at the NPC nationals the crowd booed when Chris Cook beat Bill! Chris Cook is a fan favorite, but Bill is on a mission this year. Bill's main competiton will come from Omar Deckard and Jerome Ferguson. Omar finished second at the North Americans to Marcus Haley, and Jerome finsished 2nd to Marcus Haley at the USA's. THis means Bill has some serious competiton against these two future pros.

Bill Wilmore

Heavies
Two big names in the heavyweights. Faramarz Aghazadeh who finished 2nd to Phil Heath at the USA's and Grigori Atoyan who finished second to Capriese Murray at the Nationals last year. Look for these guys to finish 1-2 in the heavies.

Atoyan

Light Heavies
Two big names I like in this field is Mr. Thick Charles Ray Arde. He is as thick as any super heavy and he is under 200 pounds. He has Lee Priest Arms and can hold his own against anyone!

The other guy I like in this field is David Truley who won the Californian Championships. He has some serious legs and calves and upper body. He will give Charles a hell of a ride. Look at David Truley has a slightly overhyped Phil Heath who came out of no where. But trust me, he will finish strong in Atlanta.

-Note: this isn't 100% Trick D's work, he read from Muscular Development writer Hany Rambod for a lot of information found in the December 2006 issue. Trick tried to summarize work and put things is his words and gave his own opinions on ideas about competitors.

**Trick D** · 11-04-2005, 07:11 PM

Hope you enjoy and remember I didn't come up with 100% of this work, normally I am very independent when finding information and research but I was pressed for time, and it is extremely hard to find a lot of information about these competitors.

GO DT!!!!!!!!!! DT ALL THE WAY IN THE LH'S

**Trick D** · 11-04-2005, 07:24 PM

Yeah, his calves are among the best I have ever seen, definitely on an African American. It has been said for years that Blacks have a hard time with calves because of genetic reasons. Look at Ronnie for instance. But DT don't have that problem at all.

Go DT!! Go DT! Go DT!

Darrell Terrell all the way! :bigthumbu

This guy's upper body is huge. But his thighs make it look too small...

**EME** · 11-04-2005, 07:43 PM

Darrell is a good friend of both Robert ( daTRUodb) and I.

Couldn't tell eh?

Darrell is just crazy thick everywhere!

Here's another shot taken last week:

Oh yeah, I thought you all were talking about David Truley, yes I am routing for Darrell Terrell too... he is thick everywhere... He will have some good competition. I always like the light Heavies, they have been doing good the last decade in the pros.

GO DT!!...GO DT!!!...GO.....GO DT!!..GO DT!!!!...

I'm hoping Darrell does well. He's got a lot of good competition.

**EME** · 11-05-2005, 12:18 AM

You're right AYung. I wish the best for Darrell, but it will definitely be tough!

The great thing about the Nationals, as Trick mentioned, is that every Men's weight class winner gets their IFBB Pro card. Even the 143 lb Bantamweight winner gets an IFBB Pro card.

In the other Pro Qualifiers, only the Overall Winner, ( or the top 2 at the USA's ) get their Pro card.

The difficult part is, the extra Pro Cards bring out all the best competitors in the country.

One thing about it... if you get your Pro Card at the Nationals, you beat the BEST of the BEST!

The Nationals is the biggest, baddest NPC show of all!

Interesting. I've always thought it was just one pro card for the overall winner.

**Trick D** · 11-07-2005, 05:49 PM

I really wish I could go, I may try to go next year. It is in Atlanta which is about 7 hours from where I live. It would be interesting.

I think we will find out the results this weekend. I will stay tuned and try to post them as soon as I find them.

**Trick D** · 11-07-2005, 05:56 PM

Any idea of what DT weighed in those pics and what weight he is planning on weighing in at? I figure he looks like he will be borderline, which would be good... also how tall is he?

datruodb · 11-07-2005, 07:27 PM

he's about 5'6 I think

**Trick D** · 11-07-2005, 07:46 PM

5'6 is a beastly height to be LHW... that is good...You definitely don't want to be over 5'7 if you want to have a chance at the Nationals
