MODEL FITNESS - WHAT IS IT?

20 YEARS OF W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. MODEL FITNESS CATEGORY.

MODEL FITNESS VERSUS MODEL BODYBUILDING.

20 years ago W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation)  created “Model Fitness” categories at the International and National Contests. Since that time most International federations copied W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. in many innovating activities. During the time “Model Fitness” competitors became muscular and there was no difference from bodybuilders.

At the 2014 W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. World Amateur Championship in Slovakia many competitors were not allowed to participate at the Model Fitness Contest. The reason was their muscularity. Every year more and more muscular competitors try to attend Model Fitness Contests. W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. understands Model Fitness Competitors as a sportsmen without sharp and competitively big “doping looking” muscles.

Step by step W.F.F. federation divorces with W.B.B.F. - fitness goes away from bodybuilding. Until now W.F.F. and W.B.B.F. contests are held together but we will start making them separately too. Fitness is not bodybuilding. Remember - in 1998 I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee)  refused to recognize bodybuilding as sport and the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders)  federation was “thrown out” from the recognized federations list. From that time bodybuilding is no more sport. Until now only former National I.F.B.B. federations of former Socialist Countries fool their Ministries of Sport and use to get governmental financial support.  Soon the W.F.F. - International will sign the Contract with W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency).

LET US LOOK THROUGH EYES OF OFFICIAL SPORT.

WHAT INTERNATIONAL CONTEST IS OFFICIAL AND WHAT CONTEST IS NOT OFFICIAL?

OFFICIAL INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS.

If You will address to any Olympic Committee or Sport Ministry, then any of You will get a plain answer - official International contests are the following ones:

- Olympic Games

- World Championship and World Cup

- Continent Championship or Cup (America, Europe, Asia etc..).

Every officially working International Sport Federation follow the above statement.

OFFICIAL NATIONAL CONTESTS

Official National Contests are:

Annual National Championship and National Cup.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS TO W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. INTERNATIONAL CONTEST ORGANIZERS.

Three specific requirements of the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  International  should be followed:

officially appointed group of the International secretaries (including a professional photographer) must work at any official contest at least 5 Internationally Certified Judges must work at any official contest. International Judges Certificates are given to any National Judge after attending the annual International Judges Seminar.The organizer of any official contest must solve the question of covering expenses of International secretaries and International judges that must be present at a definite official eventAny International contest that does not cover these 3 above requirements can not be official from the point of view of the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  International.

W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. INTERNATIONAL OFFICIAL CONTESTS

In difference to most so called „International bodybuilding federations“ the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. International does it‘s best to work as any official federation of any sport. „various „festivals“, „weekends“, „classics“, „nights of champions“, „variety shows“ never were W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  official contests as it is among other „federations“.

The 50 years lasting history of the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  federation is highly connected with „Amber Prix International“ which served as the unofficial World Championship of over 20 socialist countries for nearly 30 years. It was recognized by the Ministry of Sport of the U.S.S.R. (1989). This is the reason the „Amber Prix International“ is included to the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  official contests. Also bodybuilding is not an Olympic kind of sport. This is the reason that the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  counts the status of the „Universe“  contest equal to the World Championship.

In 2024 about 60 contests are organized under the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F.  name in various countries - Europe, America and Asia.

WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA.

“VILNIUS BODYBUILDING SCHOOL”.

VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ.

In the mid of sixties of the last century talented bodybuilders started their activities in Vilnius (Lithuanian SSR). They were CESLAV TAMULEVIC (Чеслав Тамулевич) and LEONAS PIVORIUNAS. They set a famous Vilnius “Victoria” gym. Basing on this gym famous “Vilnius Bodybuilding School” (‘Vilniaus kultūrizmo mokykla”, «Вильнюсская школа культуризма») was established. In 1970 LEONAS PIVORIUNAS left bodybuilding and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ (Виталий Асовский) came to replace him. VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ is a known contemporary poet and drama writer. Through Socialist times “Vilnius Bodybuilding School” presented many famous International level bodybuilders. The essence of the school was that the Chairmen of the school CESLAV TAMULEVIC and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ  developed theoretical and practical background for bodybuilding sport. Especially that was important in 1987 when the first official “U.S.S.R. Bodybuilding Federation” («Федерация культуризма С.С.С.Р.») was set. Bodybuilding became a recognized sport at that time and primitive games of bodybuilders had to become sport looking. Prohibition of bodybuilding was stopped and basics of the sport were needed very much. CESLAV TAMULEVIC and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ founded and developed complicated schemes of posing routines for bodybuilders. No other in the World did anything like this ever and this made “Vilnius Bodybuilding School” unique. Bodybuilders from Lithuanian SSR and other countries used to come and to study the knowledge of CESLAV TAMULEVIC and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ. Basing on the works of CESLAV TAMULEVIC and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ a certain system of judging criteria was developed. It was something scientific and it is nothing to compare with today’s primitive bodybuilding. The “U.S.S.R. Ministry of Sport” («Министерство спорта С.С.С.Р.») started presenting honour names of the “U.S.S.R. Master of Sport” («Мастер спорта С.С.С.Р.») for bodybuilders. After the fall of Socialist World the “West” has eaten the “Socialist Bodybuilding”.  Scientific ways of Socialist system became the same primitive as in the “West”. In 1998 International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) refused to recognize bodybuilding sport and threw away the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation. That was the end of bodybuilding recognition as sport. In 2023 G.A.I.S.F. was closed and also in 2023 W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency) refused to work with I.F.B.B.. Former Socialist Countries still play games with bodybuilding but there is no more sport in the World like bodybuilding any more.

Some time ago CESLAV TAMULEVIC, LEONAS PIVORIUNAS and VITALIJ ASOVSKIJ at the Parliament of the Lithuanian Republic were presented with the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Bodybuilding Federation) International Honour Silver Medals.

“WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA”. BOOK THREE.

PREAMBLE.

Third book of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” («Энциклопедия мирового культуризма», “Pasaulio kultūrizmo enciklopedijos”) will cover period of timer since 1992 until today. As You know - in 1991 Socialist system was ruined and the World started new history. After Lithuania restored it’s independence in 1991 nothing serious happened in the country with other bodybuilding organizations but the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation). Only W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. did many great unique International works which we will cover later. Due to the activities of the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) and N.P.C. (National Phisyque Committee) bodybuilding is no more sport today. In the third part of encyclopedia we will tell about who, how and why ruined bodybuilding sport. Hard work done through decades was finished. There are certain guilty names. Today bodybuilding in not recognized by any International Sport Organization - I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee), G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) and W.A.D.A. (World Anti Doping Agency).

In 1998 I.O.C. threw away the I.F.B.B. federation and refused to recognize bodybuilding as sport. No Governments finance bodybuilding anymore. After 1998 National Bodybuilding Federations of former Socialist Countries cheated their Ministries of Sport and went on receiving governmental money. The same did a number of Asia Bodybuilding Federations which traditionally from F.I.H.C. (Federation Internationale Halterophile et Culturisme) times were under the National Weightlifting Federations. After 1998 I.F.B.B. federations were hiding themselves behind membership in the G.A.I.S.F., but in 2023 G.A.I.S.F. was closed and in 2023 W.A.D.A. stopped working with I.F.B.B..

Today W.F.F. - International opens new page in sport history. We declare a new federation totally without doping and this was we seek Olympic recognition.

In 2020 pandemia and later war in Ukraine stopped great W.F.F. -  International projects in France, India and Switzerland. We hope to fulfill them in the nearest future. In 2025 W.F.F. goes on developing new plans. In 2025 we will communicate with National Olympic Committees, Ministries of Sport and W.A.D.A. departments in various countries.

In 2005 we separated bodybuilding and fitness under advice of the Director of Law Department of the Parliament Republic Lithuania KESTUTIS VIRKETIS.  Then along with the W.F.F. - International a new World Bodybuilding Federation (W.B.B.F.) was registered in Lithuania.

No secret - all bodybuilding federations are on doping. Today W.F.F. - International presents new concept of totally non doping fitness sport with new categories. W.F.F. - International will go on seeking Olympic recognition.
