	International Federation of BodyBuilders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The International Federation of BodyBuilders (IFBB) is a bodybuilding organization founded in 1946 by Ben and Joe Weider.
		In November 2004, the IFBB congress voted to change the long name of the organisation to the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness.
		Until the 1940s the bodybuilding scene was controlled by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU).

	Bodybuilding - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bodybuilding is the process of developing muscle fibres through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest.
		The general strategy adopted by most present-day competitive bodybuilders is to make muscle gains for most of the year (known as the "off-season") and approximately 3-4 months from competition attempt to lose body fat (referred to as "cutting").
		Bodybuilders usually split their food intake for the day into 5 to 7 meals of roughly equal nutritional content and attempt to eat at regular intervals (normally between 2 and 3 hours).

	Bodybuilding - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Bodybuilding did not really gain popularity until the late 19th century, when the sport was promoted by the German Eugen Sandow - who is now often refered to as the "Father of modern bodybuilding".
		Bodybuilders also increase their electrolyte consumption (potassium and sodium) to reduce the risk of muscle cramps when on stage.
		Whereas female bodybuilding is judged on muscle size, fitness is judged on the competitor ability in a number of strength and flexibility exercises, and figure is judged purely on the physical form (there are no muscle flexing poses).

	Definition and history
		Bodybuilding's origins in Europe in the late nineteenth century coincided with the advent of photography, which distributed striking images of muscular men to a worldwide audience.
		Bodybuilding has never shaken its association with strongman sideshows; indeed, being called a "freak" can be a compliment to some bodybuilders.
		Bodybuilding has helped them establish a firmer sense of self, and given them a means by which to pursue their personal best.

	Bodybuilding Off Season Diet
		Competitive bodybuilders are judged on the basis of muscular size, shape, definition, density, proportion, and visual presentation (International Federation of Bodybuilders, 1987).
		Bodybuilders generally train for muscular size during the off season and reduce body fat several weeks or months before competition (Elliot, Goldberg, Kuehl, and Catlin, 1987; Hickson, Johnson, Lee, and Sidor, 1990; Balon, Horowitz, and Fitzsimmons, 1992).
		The body fat of male competitive bodybuilders during the off season have been measured at 9.8% (Hickson, Johnson, Lee, and Sidor, 1990),13.1 ±2.8% (Kleiner, Calabrese, Fielder, Naito, and Skibinski, 1989), 9.3 ±0.75% (Katch, Katch, Moffatt, and Gittleson, 1980).
