2014 NPC Tricky Jackson Classic Championships Will Bring Top Bodybuilders and Fitness Enthusiasts to Kentucky on October 11 for National Qualifier

Top athletes will converge on Lexington, Kentucky, this weekend to participate in the 2014 NPC Tricky Jackson Classic Championships, which take place Saturday, October 11, at The Thoroughbred Center. The NPC-sanctioned national qualifying event will feature bodybuilding, physique, figure and bikini contests. Prejudging kicks off at 11 a.m., while the finals will take place at 7 p.m.

The annual event was founded by award-winning IFBB pro Richard “Tricky” Jackson and is entering its 17th year. Tricky has long been an HGH.com-sponsored athlete and a champion of our natural HGH releasers and bodybuilding supplements, which is why we were proud to sign on as a co-sponsor of these championships.

The NPC Tricky Jackson Classic event will feature “lots of athletes, lots of surprises and, most of all, lots of fun.” Renowned bodybuilder Jose Raymond – who recently took 3rd place in the 2014 Olympia 212 Showdown and 2nd place at the 2014 IFBB Korea Grand Prix – will take part as a headlining guest poser. Tricky plans to add to the fun by doing a special posing routine with his kids, Porsha, Trey, Reese and Rashawn.
