WORLD BODYBUILDING ENCYCLOPEDIA.

CONTEMPORARY FEDERATIONS. WHAT IS IT?

I.F.B.B. ENTERS G.A.I.S.F..

Formalities done at the 1970 Belgrade Congress opened doors for the new I.F.B.B. (International Federation of Body Builders) sport federation to enter G.A.I.S.F. (General Association of International Sports Federations). As after Belgrade Congress the owner of the I.F.B.B. commercial company and the „I.F.B.B. life President“ BEN WEIDER told „it was done due to the efforts of OSCAR STATE“. „OSCAR STATE, who was instrumental in the I.F.B.B.’s recognition in 1971 by the General Association of International Sports Federations, G.A.I.S.F.”. In 1971 during the second I.F.B.B. Congress in Paris (France) public was informed about the I.F.B.B. membership in the G.A.I.S.F.. It happened at the 1971 G.A.I.S.F. Congress in Viena (Austria). Today is evident – it was the basic happening that for the next several decades changed the face of the official World‘s bodybuilding sport. I.F.B.B. left totally behind all other International Bodybuilding Organizations.

According the G.A.I.S.F. rules one kind of sport can be represented only by one International federation. All other International Bodybuilding Organizations lost their chances to represent official bodybuilding sport at International level as well as on the National too.  The official doors were closed for A.A.U. (Amateur Athletes Union), N.A.B.B.A. (National Amateur Body Building Association), W.B.B.G. (World Body Building Guild) and other units. It was a tragedy for all of them.

All were waithig World‘s main bodybuilding leader BOB HOFFMAN to protest and somehow stop I.F.B.B. membership in G.A.I.S.F.. And when BOB HOFFMAN did nothing OSCAR NEIDENSTAM said „it was a terrible mistake..“. Step by step I.F.B.B. got recognition and pushed away all other bodybuilding organizations from official sport.

Ideologies of BOB HOFFMAN and BEN WEIDER were the same. It was their presonal ego, sport and business together.  BEN WEIDER was more energetic and this was the reason he was over BOB HOFFMAN. As OSCAR HEIDENSTAM said „BEN WEIDER was more agressive in publishing and selling magazines“.  BOB HOFFMAN was also unhappy. He said: “Weiders who for many years had been “publishing pornographic magazines” were only interested in money... they want to use G.A.I.S.F. for their business”.  Fifty years being on top of World’s bodybuilding BOB HOFFMAN had to step away.

The article will be continued. We will speak about all World‘s traditional federations. It will be the truth which not everybody like. More information in various languages is on Global Site www.wff.lt

1990. MAGAZINES OF DSC. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS SPREAD THROUGH THE WORLD.

Bodybuilding was popular sport then. Athletes needed methodical knowlidge. Since DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS started his bodybuilding way in 1969 he translated articles from books ang magazines. The books were a seldom happening as the „Iron Wal“ did not alow it. This way the first magazine „Arnold Schwarzenegger Recommends“ („Arnoldas Švarcenegeris rekomenduoja“ «Арнольд Шварценеггер рекомендует») was printed and spread in 2 000 000 issues. Several decades it was the „ABC“ for several generations. This kind of popularity has no other bodybuilding magazine in the World. After „Arnold Schwarzenegger Recommends“ other magazines were printed and successfully distrubuted: „Training Programmes of World‘s Best Bodybuilders“ («Системы упражнений лучших культуристов мира», „Geriausių pasaulio kultūristų pratimų sistemos“),  „Bodybuilder“ («Культурист», „Kultūristas“), „Bodybuilding Stars Recommends“ („Kultūrizmo žvaigždės rekomenduoja“, «Звёзды культуризма рекомендуют») and other magazines. Totaly 37 magazines.

Best and short words abou the magazines of DSc. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS were said by a famous Russian bodybuilder VALERIJ LOKTIONOV: „then the only one source of bodybuilding materials were magazines from Klaipeda (Lithuanian SSR) and I did my best to get them. That was really the GOLD TIME OF BODYBUILDING“. All bodybuilders used to copy the sport movement in Baltic countries.

(„Когда-то единственным источником для меня было ,,Советский спорт,, и ,,Спортивная жизнь России,,. А еще тогда все ровнялись на Прибалтику. Тогда это было С.С.С.Р. (Федерация культуризма при Комитете физической культуры и спорта г. Клайпеды, Литовская Республика 1991 г.) и я навыписывал оттуда кучу брошур - , «Современный культуризм,», , «Система упражнений лучших культуристов мира,», ,»Увеличение мышечной массы в культуризме,», , «Звезды культуризма рекомендуют,», ,»Арнольд Шварценнегер рекомендует». Золотое время!“).
