THIRD BOOK OF “WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA”.

IS ANY OTHER INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION TO DO THE SAME?

We still work on the second book of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia” («Энциклопедия всемирного культуризма») and many topics are connected with the third book. It seems that our sport life is stable. But if we look through the time we can see that during last forty years no other International Federation ever did the same amount of work as we did. Just look over the topics of the third book of the “Encyclopedia”! We would underline that all our work in Lithuania after the end of Socialist System in 1991 was done in confrontation with the I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) federation. Nothing is changed even today. Lithuanian I.F.B.B. does not like our achievements. They do not like our communication with the Governmental, Social and Sport organizations of various countries. They do not like that the W.F.F. - W.B.B.F. (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) seeks so high goals.   Especially they do not like that we achieve great results. At the same time they have no goals at all... All our road of sport activities was connected with various obstacles made by the I.F.B.B. and with which we are to fight every day. Below we list basic topics of the third book of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia”:

Aiming to separate fitness from bodybuilding along with the W.F.F. in 2005 in Lithuanian Republic we established new “World Body Building Federation” (W.B.B.F.). W.F.F. created totally new fitness concept without doping and it aims to seek  I.O.C. (International Olympic Committee) recognition.

No doubt - there will be many more important topics in the third book of the “World Bodybuilding Encyclopedia”.

BODYBUILDING CIRCUS AROUND THE WORLD.

LOTS OF MICKEY-MOUSE FEDERATIONS.

WE SPEAK WITH ATHLETES.

Forty years ago we were explaining athletes about official sport and about the BASIC questions of various federations. This is ABC of every athlete. Do not be dreamers and learn real matters. As we see many do not like the truth. Sportsmen waist their time, energy, money. They are glad about their “great” achievements at competitions. But - this result for official sport is ZERO. Find yourselves who is guilty  - maybe your leaders, maybe trainers, maybe somebody else.

STEP ONE. INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION.

We do not want to offend anybody. All of today working forty International bodybuilding federations play zero role in official recognized sport. That are “mickey - mouse” federations. Just ZERO. Official International Sport organizations do not recognize a single one of them. Let us speak about some of those “federations”. What do You know about Your federation? Since 1990 we came inside of many International Bodybuilding Organizations. Step by step we learned about their zero value in sport. Athletes were cheated and still are cheated.

I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders)

Due to efforts of American BOB HOFFMAN (Robert Collins Hoffman, 1898 – 1985) since 1947 until 1969 World’s official bodybuilding sport was ruled by a member of the International Olympic Committee (I.O.C.) International F.I.H.C. (Fédération Internationale Haltérophile et Culturiste) federation.

In 1970 general secretary of F.I.H.C. British OSCAR STATE (Oscar State, Obe, 1911-1984) during Belgrade (Yugoslavia) Congress created the I.F.B.B. sport federation. Until that time I.F.B.B. was a private company and played zero role in official sport. Again due to the efforts of OSCAR STATE in 1971 I.F.B.B. became a member of G.A.I.S.F. (Global Association of International Sports Federations) and ruled World’s official bodybuilding sport until 1998.

In 1998 after two years trial I.F.B.B. was thrown out of the I.O.C.. Since that time bodybuilding is no more sport. Only former Communist Countries and several Asia Countries still recognize and finance National I.F.B.B. federations. Full article about the I.F.B.B. You can find on International Site www.wff.lt 

N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association).

After long correspondence with N.A.B.B.A. Chairman OSCAR HEIDENSTAM we were working with N.A.B.B.A. since 1991 until 2005. After some time N.A.B.B.A. Chairman IVAN DUNBAR informed us that N.A.B.B.A. is not an association of federation - it is by law a public club. How officially registered in Lithuania Republic sport federation can be a member of a public club? Sounds childish… After death of OSCAR HEIDENSTAM in 1991 until now N.A.B.B.A. had no another leader like him. Full article about N.A.B.B.A. is already published on International Site www.wff.lt

Soon we will publish full article on the topic. Follow International Page www.wff.lt .
