The 2022 INBA PNBA schedule has been announced.
The International Natural Bodybuilding Association/Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA/PNBA) has prepared its 2022 competition schedule. INBA/PNBA is one of many natural bodybuilding leagues, but it’s the biggest. Most bodybuilding leagues don’t support the use of drugs. However, the INBA/PNBA is the leading trailblazer for getting their athletes drug tested – each athlete undergoes strict testing laboratories through World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) – state-of-the-art drug testing standards the Olympics use. Any competitor who fails a drugs test ends up on the infamous Hall of Shame.
The natural bodybuilding competitions listed below are events that take place up until the big finale on November 10-13th 2022 in Las Vegas, NV – Natural Olympia – Pinnacle of Natural Bodybuilding. It’s the biggest event for natural bodybuilders akin to Mr. Olympia in the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness (IFBB) Pro league.
Below you can find the 2022 INBA PNBA schedule.
