Since its founding in 2000, the INBF is the fastest growing drug-tested bodybuilding federation in existence. More than 3000 athletes now belong to this organization, where more than 35 opportunities exist for competition each year across the country. And, with a close affiliation with the NANBF who adhere to the same strict standards of drug-screening and show quality members of the two federations can choose from over 50 competitions annually with one membership card.
This tremendous growth is due to a number of factors. The gateway to the Pro Natural WNBF is an obvious reason, as is the exceptional promotional opportunities that come with Natural Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine. This is the only commercial, newsstand magazine dedicated to the drug-free lifestyle, and each INBF member receives a subscription automatically with their annual membership dues. With the circulation of NB&F growing rapidly, this allows INBF members mainstream publicity for all their hard work and dedication.
But there is more to the INBF: There is no politics involved in the judging process, in the promotion of competitors or in the "control" of where athletes can compete. If they wish to, INBF members can compete wherever they please. It is their choice. But once they've had the opportunity to compete in the INBF/NANBF network of shows, why would they want to compete anywhere else anyway.
