Record Number Of “Bodybuilders” To Swarm Lake Tahoe on August 14th and 15th!

There are hundreds of amateur bodybuilding competitions around the country, but none like the Tahoe Show with its stunning location, over-the-top production, and the world’s top athletes. The 11th annual Tahoe Show, presented by California Alternative Medicine, is known as the “must do” competition in the bodybuilding circuit. Attracting athletes worldwide, the Tahoe Show expects a record turnout of 450 athletes and 3,000 spectators throughout the August 14 and 15th weekend at the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa in Stateline, Nevada. 

The show is not just for bodybuilding fans; it’s an excellent opportunity to meet fitness companies and trainers. Attendees will leave motivated by seeing how a few months of dedication to health and fitness can transform any physique! The athletes’ ages can vary between 18 and even 80!

A total of eight divisions will be showcasing a variety of body types. Divisions include the very popular swimsuit model look found in bikini and men’s physique. Classic physique and women’s physique are the classic look of the Arnold Schwarzenegger Golden Era. Of course, nothing wows the audience like the dozens of big bodybuilders who will be battling for that first place trophy.

In addition to the amateur competitors, the show will feature the IFBB Professionals in the Wellness and Bikini divisions. IFBB Pro Bikini returns for a second year after 2020’s stacked lineup of Olympia athletes. The new thick-bottomed division “Wellness” is new in 2021. Also new is the addition of IFBB Pro Masters Bikini and Wellness. These top pro athletes will compete for $8,000 in cash, a custom Tahoe Show trophy, qualification points for the 2021 Olympia, and a photo shoot on the lake courtesy of Tahoe Lake Love Captained Boat Charters. Master’s 35+ winners in Bikini and Wellness will also receive free entry and night hotel accommodations to the 2021 IFBB Pro Masters Legion Sports Fest in Reno on October 22.

NPC athletes will also compete for the custom “muscle deer” trophies and a coveted National Qualification for a chance to become a professional IFBB Pro League athlete. In addition, the overall winners of NPC Bikini and NPC Wellness will join the Tahoe Lake Love boat photoshoot on the lake.

Attendees will also get the chance to visit with 20 fitness vendors who will share their latest products and services. The products can assist anyone in achieving their health and fitness goals from simply dropping a pant size, gaining muscle, recovering from workouts faster, or becoming a star on the bodybuilding stage. These companies will vary from nutrition, gyms, personal training, health optimization, fitness apparel, supplements, bikinis, jewelry, and massage guns!
