PNBA Danairo Moore shares a physique update of his back 6 weeks out from Natural Olympia.
Your back is an essential muscle in bodybuilding. So Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) athlete Danairo Moore has been training his back hard, with Natural Olympia being about six weeks away. Danairo Moore competes in the Men’s Physique division and has a multi-media contract with Generation Iron, Iron Man Magazine, and the INBA PNBA.
Recently, Danairo Moore injured his back from a deadlifting injury. But after getting in touch with Moore, he informed us that he’s feeling better and has been prepping for Natural Olympia. In addition, he shared a physique update of his back:

It’s no surprise that Moore has been able to build the back he has. He says his favorite exercises are pull-ups, front squats, and deadlifts. And pull-ups and deadlifts heavily target your back muscles.
For nutrition, Moore combines intermittent fasting with low-carb cycling, known as the anabolic diet. Many people have been able to shred a lot of fat by combining these two dieting strategies. Fasting makes it easier to eat fewer calories, and carb-cycling makes your body burn fat as fuel.
In 2019, Moore placed in the top 10 at Natural Olympia. Danairo Moore believes his rigorous training and nutrition will earn him a strong placing at 2022 Natural Olympia–in the top five or even top two.
Natural Olympia and the INBA PNBA
2022 Natural Olympia takes place November 10-13, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Natural Olympia is the largest natural bodybuilding competition globally hosted by the International Natural Bodybuilding Association (INBA) PNBA.
The INBA PNBA is the most significant natural bodybuilding organization. The PNBA was founded in 1990 by Denny Kakos to allow natural athletes to compete in a professional division. Later, Kakos founded the INBA in 1994 to unite countries and standardize natural bodybuilding globally.
The INBA PNBA believes in fair and safe competition. Therefore, they only drug screen their athletes through the most rigorous drug testing standards, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Many natural bodybuilding legends have competed here and walked away champions in the Men’s Bodybuilding division, including:
- First-ever Natural Olympia Champ 1998: John Hansen
- 2009-2014 Champ: Kiyoshi Moody
- 2020 Champ: Meshack Ochieng
- 4x Champion: Philip Ricardo Jr.
Paul Krueger is the reigning champion.
The INBA PNBA has competitors representing over 60 countries, and the 2021 Natural Olympia saw gold medal winners from many countries. 2021 Natural Olympia also gave out many prizes, including a Harley-Davidson, which Philip Ricardo Jr. took home.
With Natural Olympia closing in, competitors have ramped up their training and nutrition to prepare their physiques for the top-notch competition. Past champions Kiyoshi Moody and Meshack Ochieng will compete at the 2022 Natural Olympia. Philip Ricardo Jr. said this year will be a “dog fight for the top spot.”
