Regards, Oct 31, 2011 The CBBF has confirmed that in addition to the NEW Men's and Women's Physique classes, the Men's Classic Bodybuilding division will remain at the 2012 CBBF World Qualifier, which will be held in Winnipeg on April 28th, 2012. This is due to the fact that Men's Classic Bodybuilding is still a contested division at the IFBB World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships, and as such will continue to be a qualifying division at the National amateur level at the CBBF World Qualifier ONLY. The Men's Classic Bodybuilding division will NOT be continued at the Novice or Provincial Championships in Manitoba. If you finished in the TOP 5 in your respective height class in Men's Classic Bodybuilding at either the Novice or Provincial Championships in 2010 or 2011, or competed at the CBBF National Championships OR World Qualifier in those years, you may be eligible to compete in Men's Classic Bodybuilding at the 2012 CBBF World Qualifier WITH APPROVAL OF THE MABBA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. If you wish to compete in the NEW Men's Physique division at the 2012 CBBF World Qualifier, you MUST qualify In Physique at the 2012 MABBA Novice Championships, to be held in Winnipeg on March 17th, 2012. If you compete in Men's Physique at the 2012 MABBA Novice Championships, you may NOT compete in any other discipline at the World Qualifier. If you compete in, and place in the top 5 of any weight class in Men's Bodybuilding at the 2012 MABBA Novice Championships, you will be eligible to compete in Men's Classic Bodybuilding at the 2012 CBBF World Qualifier, as long as you meet the criteria for that division. See Men's Classic Bodybuilding under Criteria. If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact the MABBA Bodybuilding Chairperson, Mike Janik at mike.janik@hotmail.com.

March 17, 2011 On Saturday, March 19th, 2011, the Manitoba Amateur Bodybuilding Association (MABBA) Novice Bodybuilding, Women’s Fitness, Figure, and Bikini Championship is going to make local history. According to MABBA President, Tom Heffner, this weekend 166 competitors are going to step on the Pantages Theatre stage in Winnipeg. Heffner credits the explosion of the Women’s Bikini Division and the introduction of a new Grandmaster Division (45+) in Women’s Figure for attracting new interest from aspiring female athletes of all ages to try physique sports for their first time. Read more on Muscle Insider website.... February 28, 2011 For individual poses competitors will walk to centre stage and perform quarter turns the same as in a line up for comparisons. However, it will be without the instruction of the head judge, and they will be allowed to bend one knee during side poses as well as look at the audience during the front and side poses. One hand may be on hip for individual walk-on pose, however, not during comparison posing. Comparison poses will remain unchanged from past posing rules (directed by the head judge, knees together, eyes in the direction they are facing). February 24, 2011 DreamTan will be allowed at Provincials and National Championships this year, if the abuse* continues as in past years it maybe banned in 2012. *Abuse consists of leaving brown stains on public area seats toilet at the theatre, stains on the floor and walls in the lobby.

To all MABBA Competitors, starting January 1st, 2009 the following directive from the CBBF will be followed, this does not involve previous years. The Manitoba Bodybuilding Association (MABBA) is under the direction of the Canadian Bodybuilding Federation (CBBF) and will for that reason be following the directive agreed upon by the Presidents’ of the IFBB at the 2008 World Congress held in November.
March 6, 2009 Hello CBBF Fans: It's been a while since my last installment. I have spent the past months communicating with the President of the IFBB, Dr. Rafael Santonja as well as the President of the NPC and the IFBB Pro League, Mr. Jim Manion, with many new decisions being discussed. A few of which you will see in the following text. I have been working closely with both the Amateur and Professional sides of our governing body the IFBB and though we are still waiting for the minutes of the World Congress, held in Manama City, Bahrain from 2008 we will provide a few of the changes. 1) First and foremost the IFBB and the CBBF are AMATEUR organizations, which means our athletes should not be competing for or attaining cash or cash prizes, as some of the competitive organizations are providing. After discussion with many of your Provincial Presidents it became apparent that there were issues with the new policy to protect our athletes from competing for financial gain. Following many conversations with the IFBB Amateur and Professional leaders the policy now in place provided athletes a one-time chance of gaining re-entry in the CBBF. I have heard that many trainers and their athletes may have issues with this decision, I will not defend the actions taken, other than to say that the CBBF is an AMATEUR FEDERATION under the banner of the IFBB. If athletes wish to compete elsewhere we wish them well, however if they wish to compete on the International stage at far-off location against the best in the world, or compete against the top professional athletes, then the CBBF is where you may wish to compete. 2) For 2009 and the future our past World Qualifying event shall now be known as the Natural Physique Championships. We shall maintain the fine work provided by the CCES and IOC Laboratory, which are under the governance of WADA. In 2008 WADA formally accepted the IFBB as a recognized member organization. The CBBF has been recognized by the IFBB and many of the countries, under the IFBB banner as a leader in the sport against performance enhancing drugs. 3) Later in 2009 we shall announce changes which the IFBB, WADA and the CBBF shall Endeavour.
