  IFBB Information
Formation: The IFBB was formed in 1946 in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada by Ben and Joe Weider, in order to unify, control, and coordinate the sport of bodybuilding throughout the world.
The IFBB is the exclusive representative of the sport of bodybuilding, and united 169 affiliated countries which are actively engaged in the sport of bodybuilding and the promotion of fitness.
Their assessment of the competitor's physique is based on muscle size, overall body shape, symmetry (the balance between the upper and lower body, and the left and right sides of the body), proportion (balance between various body parts), muscle definition (percentage of body fat), and finally, the artistic posing presentation with music.
