Сегодня мы получили письмо из Англии.
Президент федерации ВФФ-ВББФ Англии ДАЙО АУДИ пишет, что он доволен правилами соревнований ВББФ, хотя они очень культуристически прямолинейны…
Но это заставит всех помалкивать о какой-либо основе фитнеса в ВББФ: ВББФ – это чисто культуристическая федерация!
Happy New Year Edmundas,
The Judging criteria is very straightforward.
This will silence those who always say the WFF/WBBF is not a proper bodybuilding organisation and it is all about fitness routines and ballet.
IDIOTS!!!!
I need to ask how we go about judging the model fitness girls?
I need to know this as this class will hopefully feature at the Pro show in Doncaster.
I can see from the pictures that they are very feminine and toned NOT MUSCULAR, RIPPED, and excessively lean.
Regards
Dayo
