Athletes on the stable of Nigeria International Powerlifting Association, NIPA have been preparing for the annual Arnold Schwarzenegger Powerlifting and Bodybuilding Classics, which will come up in USA from 1-3 March.

"We are working round the clock to ensure that we present Nigerian lifters and bodybuilders of different categories for the championship. We are having five lifters undergoing intensive training now and we are expecting few to join us. Though people have been contacting our office at 12 OkoClose in Lawson area of Surulere to ask about information on the competition,we'll ensure that we screen potential lifters that will make the trip to the US for the competition, adding that only registered members of the association will enjoy the privilege." said Akinsehinwa.
He also disclosed that the association is working on the modalities to get the right to stage the Arnold Classics in Nigeria as the management of the US-based sports promotion has promised to oblige to the request.
Akinsehinwa said that a registered member of the NIPAstands to gain a lot in the area of sponsorship to feature in international powerlifting and bodybuilding tournaments around the world.
