Can anyone provide a listing of each and every bodybuilding contest sanctioning body  in the USA and throughout the world and each of their championship events?

I can only recall a few ...

IFBB PRO ... Main office in USA ... THE OLYMPIA

IFBB INTERNATIONAL .... Main office in SPAIN ... THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

NABBA ... ?

The former AAU ... Now defunct ... MR. AMERICA

Thanks!

Much better standard of physiques than last year.

Tall Josh in class 1 should win it this year

Max in class 2 has got a fantastic Korean up a against him
Got max 2nd & this Korean for the overall.

SJT had no separation in his legs, he looked full, a bit to full TBH, he had no pop.
Tony Mount has won twice before based on condition, last year he didnt have the best balanced physique onstage, in fact a few were better balance with better flow.

Yes - Got a friend in the London fire brigade based in Soho / Shaftesbury Avenue
Big problems with them leaving cars parked parked on double yellows / no parking zones
as they wont walk far & just pay the parking fines / tow charges rather than fined a parking place.

LOL

I met a similar bloke when I worked on a project in London....a solicitor, always decked out in a fine tailored suit and nice loafers.

Every day he parked his Bentley outside his office on double yellows, every day he got a ticket.....end of the day he would rip it off the screen, crumple it up and throw it on the passenger seat

After about a week of watching this I asked him why...

"Dear boy, It takes me less time to earn enough to pay the ticket, than it would if I parked in the car park and walked here."

Fucking CLASS!

Thanks to some of you GetBiggers from a foreign land (not USA based) I've read and learned more about the NABBA and its competitors than I've heard, read, or learned during my extended life-time.

And I gotta admit that I am impressed. That lineup appears to be more impressive than the Oly lineup of competitors which I'm sure is debatable on this GetBig Board.

But how come these NABBA competitors are not as wil known throughout the world as the IFBB guys and gals are?

Are they given national/international exposure/publicity in any magazine?

And of all the past NABBA winners ... who are most famous?

Excuse my ignorance but the NABBA is entirely unknown by me!

Publicity lets NABBA down...

No Flex mag etc pushing BBers.....there have been a few attempts at NABBA magazines....

It was headed up by an incredibly knowledgable, but older board; whom I feel have been a bit slow on the up take re the whole social media thing over the last decade, pushing athletes, publicizing shows etc.  However I think times are changing and we will see a lot more PRO BBers who are non IFBB affiliated - the rise of the PCA and with WABBA/NABBA growing again there seems to be a smidgen of competition in the market place...

Now NAPA nutrition are streaming shows, the profile of said athletes may raise a little, but lets be honest their appeal is rather niche.

You've probably heard of some past NABBA Universe winners...  Bill Pearl, Mickey Hargitay (Jayne Mansfield's husband and Mariska's dad), Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dennis Tinerino, Frank Zane, Boyer Coe, Bertil Fox, et al.  The NABBA Universe has quite a long and storied history going back to when John Grimek first won the title in 1948.

the NABBA website is shit, the UKBFF one is even worse, months before show pics come up

NAPA (supplement company) have no almost taken over the NABBA shows, they live stream and video them, they post pics of competitors free of charge , fucking a lot of photographers off in the process.

I don't know what you were watching, but I was not impressed. Korean was good, but not polished.
And the guys in his class were terrible. The overall winner has no chest.

As good as he looks in the pics - Much more impressive in the line ups
and from the judges tables & back as his shape/ bone structure/ flow/ muscle size
really show through compared to the other competitors.

As I said Max 2nd place winner in class 3 has a great physique in a similar way
and looks great, - He wasn't in the same league as the Korean & he admitted it
on 1st seeing him.
Korean was that good.

I think you are forgetting Shawn Rhoden, Dex, Lukas, Lionel Beyeke. Here is an older pic of Shawn
(http://3lbf6l2jthwj1sovtw21iy86.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Shawn-Rhoden.jpeg)

The Korean guy looked good, heads and shoulders above his competition, partly because they were mediocre. What was Greg Kovacs and Don Youngblood lookalikes doing in the line up? That made the Korean dude look even better. Look at that pic of the Korean dude then look at his group. They shouldn't have even been competing, they should have gone home. And that is your only real example. But his abs blurred in certain poses. And his obliques were thick on the sides. If he competes as a pro, he will go down hill fast and these will be the areas that will go. The line up in totality was not as good as a Musclemania line up. Seems like this issue has been imported from America with our NPC level competitors being mediocre compared to 10-15 years ago.

So, you have managed to pick out 4 guys in the Olympia you believe are better than this guy, that's 4 guys in the Olympia, the worlds greatest bodybuilding show.

And the Korean guy was lucky because no one else entered?

The Korean kid was an amateur 5mins ago and these clowns are already ripping him down because he aint on par with 1% of the Pro Bodybuilders who compete today! FFS only on GB...

It's not that the line up was weak...he was just that good.  There were some world class physqiues there, including former Pros from your oh so precious IFBB.

Moving goal posts I see. You asked a question. I answered. Now you say, "her der you managed to find four." Well here is four more, Cedric, Brandon Curry, Ramy, Maxx Charles.
Let's put it in perspective. A 2005 NPC USA winning Phil Heath would have wiped the floor with the whole line up of this contest. A 2005 Phil Heath. Yep, we've come a long way, huh?

Its not either or, it's a little bit of both.

I think that the IFBB has fallen by the wayside, and by the looks of it, the NABBA. The NPC feeder system hasn't truly produced good competitors in awhile. The true phenoms are in Musclemania and IFPA with up and comers like Donte Franklin.

I think that the Korean guy if he competes in the IFBB will do well in looking like what a bodybuilder should look like, but if the IFBB keeps going in the direction it is going in, he will ruin his lines by trying to meet the standard. If you look at most of the guys from their earlier years, either right before they turned Pro or after, they looked far better. For example, Roelly Winklaar. And even William Bonac has some waist distention now. And this will sadly probably happen to the Korean guy if he competes in the IFBB.

Are they given national/international exposure/publicity in any magazine?

NABBA have World BB Championships too   ;)
