INBF TO ACCEPT NANBF CARDS IN ‘09
In order to honor the requests of NANBF members who want to compete with the INBF (International Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation) – as they’ve been able to in past years with a reciprocal membership card policy – the INBF will allow current NANBF competitors to compete in INBF shows for the 2009 contest season with their NANBF card. This ruling is for 2009 only, and applies to events in the Midwest, as well as throughout the entire U.S. – anywhere INBF events are held.
To be eligible for this program, NANBF members simply must have a current valid NANBF card and present it upon registration at the INBF competition(s) of their choice. The card will be accepted as if it were an INBF card. If the card is expired, however, athletes will be required to purchase an INBF card to compete at INBF events.
Should an athlete purchase an INBF card at a competition (or through the INBF website at inbf.net), the card costs just $40, which includes Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine as part of your membership.
If you decide not to join the INBF, but still would like to subscribe to Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine you can visit the exercisegroup.com website and order online. Note: NB&F magazine is published four times a year, and is the only exclusively drug-free bodybuilding and fitness magazine on newsstands nationwide.
Also note that the INBF prides itself on having the strictest drug-testing policies in all of natural bodybuilding and figure. These guidelines mirror the WNBF, so there is no difference between the amateur and pro ranks. Prohormones such as DHEA, 6-OXO and other similar non-natural compounds are not allowed.
In addition, the INBF provides the most competitive natural outlets of any organization, with Bodybuilding and Figure joined by Ms. Fit Body (a women’s figure/bodybuilding hybrid division), Best Body Swimsuit and Mr. Fitness Male Model Search at most contests. And select INBF events are pro-qualifiers for the WNBF Pro Natural Bodybuilding & Figure divisions, with Ms. Fit Body division now joining the WNBF pro ranks, and both the pro Best Body Swimsuit Contest and pro Mr. Fitness Male Model Search shows in September featuring drug-testing.
