TNT MUSCLE MISSION STATEMENT
TNT is committed to creating a positive experience for all, in a safe, inclusive environment.
THE 2027 TNT MUSCLE SHOWDOWN
What makes TNT Muscle different? It’s not just the amount of experience and professionalism TNT Muscle brings collectively. Let’s talk about the naturally occurring theme song from ACDC! THAT is the energy you will experience first hand at the event! No question TNT Muscle will bring it full on with class act IFBB PRO Cindy VanEmpel-Popowich @cindyvep_ifbbpro as our emcee, attention to all the details, and integrating a family friendly environment with an edge that will leave those attending feeling exhilarated.
“TNT pays attention to every detail from medal and award design to a heavy hand in operations, creating efficient process and solutions for things to run methodically. No stone is being left unturned to achieve this. TNT has hand selected those to support the outcome TNT intends to achieve, it’s taking a village to pull this off and we are making our team as extraordinary as the last. If you attended a TNT event, you know TNT means business on this aspect.”
Setting up the competitors for success dominates how TNT executes the event and TNT Muscle will always put on a comprehensive seminar prior to the event that provides much more than just posing instruction. TNT Muscle wants to contribute to the competitors’ preparation process, not just the event day. Watch for details on social media @tntmuscle.
TNT Muscle will always ensure no one is walking out empty handed. Exhibitor/sponsor samples, event t-shirts, swag bags, posing awards for each division, custom medals for top 3, custom overall trophies, overall winners can be eligible to receive up to $225 registration reimbursement for a pro-qualifier of their choice, that TNT qualified them for. Overall ladies will be “crowned” with an edgy TNT Muscle stylized crown. Sponsored classes receive additional prizing from the sponsor. TNT has successfully ensured that every first place winner in the open classes walks out with a prize package. Candid photo props are part of the day with a (fake) old school Thomas Inch 300 pound dumbbell that your 2 year old could lift, 4 foot tall dynamite with dynamic backdrops and other props with a designated candid photographer capturing moments for the event photo album FREE for all to download and share. IT’S A VIBE!
AND Yes there will be donuts or baked goods or a candy bar backstage as always, exclusive to the TNT competitors!
