Former Evendale resident Dave Candy recently won the 2007 National Physique Committee National Bodybuilding Championship in the bantamweight class in Dallas.
The National Physique Committee is the largest amateur organization in the United States that governs amateur bodybuilding and fitness for the International Federal of Bodybuilding professional organization.
His first place win at nationals also earned Candy his International Federal of Bodybuilding pro card.
At age 24, he is among the youngest International Federal of Bodybuilding pro card holders.
For the 2002 Moeller High School graduate, weightlifting was always part of his conditioning as a four-year varsity wrestler for the Crusaders.
As an Academic All-Ohio, he wrestled at 119 pounds his senior year.
He set an American Powerlifting Association World record in 1998 for his age and weight class in the bench press, dead lift, and totals.
It wasn’t until his freshman year in college that Candy developed an interest in bodybuilding and the rest is history.
Winning his first competition at the 2003 National Physique Committee Northern Kentucky Open in both the Teen and Men’s Open Bantamweight divisions motivated the Pitt freshman to continue to train and compete.
He won several regional competitions before he captured three national bantamweight titles.
Those included the National Physique Committee Teen Nationals and the National Physique Committee Collegiate Nationals in 2003 in Pittsburgh at age 19, and the National Physique Committee Junior Nationals in Chicago in 2004.
At previous National Physique Committee National Championships, Candy placed second in 2005 in the bantamweight class in Atlanta, and in 2006 he took third place in the lightweight class in Miami.
In July he was the runner up at the 2007 USA National Championship in Las Vegas.
Then he stepped onto the Dallas stage in November in absolutely perfect condition, lean and muscular at 143 pounds to capture the 2007 Bantamweight National Physique Committee National Champion Bodybuilding trophy.
Candy graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences in 2005.
He is a certified athletic trainer, who will complete his doctorate of physical therapy at Pitt in April 2008.
