At least he's got the balls to come forward and speak the truth on what it takes to make it to the top in the Musclemania federation
let me rant one more time
What is it with everyone needing to slap the word "federation" onto anything relating to bodybuilding?
The Pro IFBB is not a federation.
The NPC is not a federation.
Musclemania is not a federation.
Federation is defined as "an organization or group within which smaller divisions have some degree of internal autonomy"
The AAU was a federation. You joined a local chapter. You were a member of that chapter. If you moved, you had to transfer your membership to your new local chapter. The local chapter had elected officers and regular meetings. The local chapter was a member of a district and/or a region and finally a member of the national organization.
The amateur IFBB may be a federation, in that each country has it's own org which is a member of the international IFBB.
The only way the NPC is a federation is if it's a federation of contest promoters. For the athletes, there is no local autonomy. Your membership is not to a local chapter.
Musclemania is a privately held corporation.
