DAN LURIE.

After the Second World War another famous and important USA sport organizer and bodybuilder was DAN LURIE. He set his own bodybuilding organization called the WBBG (World Body Building Guild) that was very active in 1967-1979. DAN LURIE  workedorganizing amateur and Professional competitions (among them „Olympus“ contest), published bodybuilding magazines.

For many years DAN LURIE  was surrounded by such gerat World‘s Bodybuilding Legends as HAROLD POOLE, RICK WAYNE, BILL GRANT, CHRIS DICKERSON, BOYER COE, TONY EMMOTT, SERGE NUBRET, TONY PEARSON  and SERGIO OLIVA.

It was a great work done by DAN LURIE but unfortunatelly the WBBG  did not play a big noticeble role on the International Bodybuilding Level espacially when we speak about the official and recognized bodybuilding sport. By the way, it was DAN LURIE  who used the IFBB name first and only later BEN WEIDER  named his commercial company the same name too.
