Winning the NPC Nationals - Hunter Labrada

What got you here won't get you there... This is a throwback yes, but it is a valuable message for what it takes to compete and win at the national level from Johnnie Jackson and Lee Labrada.

Forward progress in general is based on proper stimulus, measuring and being very proactive and hungry.

Hunter Labrada won the NPC National Championships in 2018. He was the best amateur and won his professional status amongst many other local and regional champions. However, to make an impact at his pro debut, Hunters physique from Nationals most likely wont earn him his first win on the pro circuit.

This is a look back at the 2018 Nationals, some great interview excerpts from Johnnie Jackson and Lee Labrada and a few of the country's best amateur bodybuilders. Stay tuned in 2020 for Hunters pro debut!
