4. BODYBUILDING HISTORY. HOW IT WAS IN REAL. 33-th HISTORIC „SPORT OF FITNESS AND BODYBUILDING“ ISSUE
International WFF-WBBF worked and still works on the documents and various materials of World‘s Bodybuilding History. The WFF-WBBF „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ Magazine started in English, Russian and Lithuanian languages in 1989. During this period of time the WFF-WBBF printed and spread through the World several millions copies of the Magazine. „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ is awailable at the National WFF-WBBF federations in all 103 Country - members of the WFF-WBBF International as well as at the most important World‘s International Bodybuilding and Fitness Events.
Main articles of the „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ Magazine are published in various Internet Pages, sport and public media, among them regularly in Spanish „Fitness Alive“ (Argentina, Magazine for South America and Spain), in German „Fitness News“ (Austria, Magazine for Germany, Austria and Switzerland), in English „Strenght and Health“ (UK, Magazine for England, Scotland and Ireland), in Russian „Zeleznyj Mir“ (Russia, for Russia and Post Soviet Russian Speaking Countries and etc..).
At the beginning a number of the WFF-WBBF Magazines were of methodical character. These Magazines were teaching the bodybuilders how to train from the primityve beginning to the Top Professional Level. Through decades the President WFF-WBBF International EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS collected and translated materials and documents from different possible sources, analised, evaluated and systemized them and finally presented as methodical recommendations for the sportsmen. That were a number of popular International Magazines under the titles like “ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER recommends”, “Training Programs of the World’s Best Bodybuilders”, “Bodybuilding Stars Recommend” etc..). Ending the 90-ties of the last century basing on these Magazines a number of new generations of bodybuilders were born and educated. Wishing to have these Magazines in their collections the libraries of a number of Countries addressed the International WFF-WBBF Headquarters (like State Library of Leipzig, Germany).
Today the WFF-WBBF „Sport of Fitness and Bodybuilding“ Magazine has only informative character but it makes it to be even more important. Several times a year the Magazine covers most important World‘s Bodybuilding and Fitness Events and it gives true situation of sport on Official International Level, sets the goals of the sport for the future. Nobody else in the World does it, but the WFF-WBBF.
5. BODYBUILDING HISTORY. HOW IT WAS IN REAL. FIRST THROUGH IRON WALL
At the Soviet times Universities of different countries used to change students in between. While studying Law and Philology at the Vilnius State University contemporary International President WFF-WBBF EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS in such studnet‘s groups two times visited Czechoslovakia (1974 and 1976). Sport contacts with Czechoslovakia bodybuilding leaders started at once. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS had constant meetings and correspondence with the President IFBB Czechoslovakia VOJTECH FIALA. VOJTECH FIALA was a smart and active Bodybuilding Official and it was most result of his personal work that in 1974 Czechoslovakia broke the „Iron Wall“ of communists and started participating at the World and Continental Championships in the Western World. It was PETR STACH who won the European Championship first time in bodybuilding history representing Socialist Countries in 1975. PETR STACH performed a complicate multy - pose posing routine accompanied by the music. He tought Western Bodybuilders the posing lessons and after his successfull participation new posing ideas started in the bodybuilding World. Before this at the Official Contests the Bodybuilders used to pose on a small podium. It was like this: a bodybuilder went on 1 x 1 meter podium, hit 1 - 2 poses, then thought for some time and hit 1 - 2 more poses again and that was all. What is interesting that during this „hard“ posing program bodybuilders somehow managed to forget and skip 1 or 2 poses... That was a topic of discussion after the routine.
Regular participation of Czechoslovakia Bodybuilders in the West quickly rised them on the Top of Socialist Bodybuilding. Sportsmen of multiple Socialist Countries had no such chances and envied the Czechoslovaks. On the hard political situation like this being the biggest regular International Event in the Socialist World the „Amber Prix International“ was of great importance at that times.
Visiting Czechoslovakia EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS met personal friends among the Sport Leaders and Bodybuilders: PETR STACH, PETR TLAPAK, ROBERT DANTLINGER, ALOIS PEK and many others. Good relations of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS with in Bratislava (Czechoslovakia) published Director Magazine „Trener“ JOZEF MAZAK (later with MILAN PERDOCH) were set too. In those years „Trener“ Magazine used to publish bodybuilding materials constantly and it was the only sourse of information in the Socialist World. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote a number of articles for „Trener“ too. Among them about the „Amber Prix International“.
EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was in constant contact with Bodybuilding Leaders of Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, China. Two times after the invitation of the Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Official professor FRANTISEK BULVA EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was present as a VIP quest at the meetings of the Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Federation Executive Council (1976, Brno). With Czechoslovakia Bodybuilding Officials and Athletes was very intensive correspondence (lots of documents are in the archives of the WFF-WBBF International).
Under the personal initiative of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS a unique International Contest between National Teams of Lithuania and Czechoslovakia were thoroughly planned and worked out. After a long work finally EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS received from Sport Ministerium invitations for the Lithuania Bodybuilding Team to participate in Czechoslovakia. It was the unbelievable result in Socialist times. The successfull visa work started and it ended with the same result as it ends very often. Due to the inner misunderstandings, envy, jealousy, blackmailing to Governmental Security Institutions of the USSR Bodybuilding Officials, the Contest in Czechoslovakia was canceled. These „famous“ historic documents, invitations still remain in the WFF-WBBF International archives. Angry with the USSR Bodybuilding Officials who did this, EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS gave his personal Intenational Contacts to his good Estonian friend and Bodybuilding Leader INNAR MARDO. Later due to the folowing work and good personal contacts in Estonia Government, a number of times INNAR MARDO participated at International Contests in Hungary, Poland and Czechoslovakia with the National Teams Estonia (1979 - 1981). It was INNAR MARDO who using the contacts given him by EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS brought the Over All „Amber Prix International“ Winner OLEV ANNUS and the „Amber Prix International“ Champion INDREK OTSUS (Estonia) abroad to win all the Competitions they participated. And again nothing new: when all goes well with INNAR MARDO, the envy, jealousy and dirty blackmailing starts in Estonia too. That made INNAR MARDO to leave his Bodybuilding activities for some time, OLEV ANNUS emigrated to Finland and became a famous Bodybuilder of IFBB and NABBA. For participating at NABBA Events OLEV ANNUS twice was sanctioned and disqualified by the IFBB for „life“, but always managed to participate again and again.
6. BODYBUILDING HISTORY. HOW IT WAS IN REAL. THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR OWN OPPINION
There are different point of views, there are different oppinions. But on what basis they are built? Often people discuss the history of bodybuilding never themselves being involved in any historic process. Often they only heard something...
International President WFF-WBBF EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS personally took part in many important International Sport Events and still is. Many superior International Bosybuilding Events had happened not only with the participation of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, but often he himself was the initiotor of those Historic Bodybuilding Events and Happenings.
For many years among all USSR Bodybuilding Leaders EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was the only one to know several foreign languages. That gave the opportunity for EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to communicate with all International Bodybuilding Leaders through the World. Let us remember the famous International Press Conference when BEN WEIDER came to the USSR first time. Then this long lasting Press Conference turned into a two hours lasting dialogue of BEN WEIDER and EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS.
Today President WFF-WBBF International EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS is in contact with nearly all known International Bodybuilding Leaders of the World. This prove thousands of documents saved in the archives of the WFF-WBBF International. The WFF-WBBF today is involved in a very important International Bodybuilding activities to change the basic position of our sport, to get the official recognition for Bodybuilding. That is why there is no enough time to be spent on the History of World Bodybuilding.
Having another University Low Degree EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS studied the Juridical Background of every „International Bodybuilding Federation“. The statements about the WFF-WBBF being the World‘s Sole International No Profit Bodybuilding Federation are proved by juridical documents. Not everybody like this. But do not talk, do not blackmail us – just go and register Your own International Federation according the Law requirements, work for over 40 years for bodybuilding as we did, have definite results of Your own work and then we will agree that all is ok with You. But we do not think the real „owner“ of Your International Federation, who owns it as his private property, will let You see the real documents if there are such documents at all. In most cases – no.
For example, all of us know, that NABBA is egzisting as a UK public club, not as an International Sport Federation. NABBA Russia represents 2-3 Gyms of a Russia City and a number of „free persons“. Nothing according the Law, nothing juridical. Just unserious game of few Gym Owners. It means NABBA Russia does not egzist by the Law in real life as the NABBA Inernational too.
It looks funny when WABBA International holds in Russia World Championships. Let us see what is real by Law in this WABBA? Supplement selling Company of a French person - yes. Logo of WABBA – yes. National WABBA Russia, International WABBA Association – no! They claim to receive some Governmental support, but if there is no sport federation, then for whom? For a French Supplement selling Shop? At least it is ridiculous.
We see the same situation of NABBA-3 (NABBA was spulit three times) that is called NAC (National Athletic Committee).
On the official level we may call this „international bodybuilding humour“. Every serious Governmental Sport Official will have nothing to do with such „International Federations“. And it is so until they do not cheat the Governmental Structures telling them false information about their federations.
Having new ideas and based on the correct juridical registration International WFF-WBBF is ahead of all others. For the last two decades other federations use to copy the ideas of WFF-WBBF: model fitness, bikiny categories, classic bodybuilding and fitness, „fit-kids“, disabled bodybuilding etc.. We have nothing against – take and use them. But again it proves the WFF-WBBF is ahead of others.
7.BODYBUILDING HISTORY. PROHIBITED SPORT. THE FUTURE OF BODYBUILDING WAS DECIDED AT THE BALCONY
Again the “Amber Prix International”, Klaipeda, Lithuania, the historic year of 1986. Nothing to do – this is the history of our sport.
After 12 years of being nowhere fare away from sport and after getting personal invitation of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS the contemporary President IFBB Russia VLADIMIS DUBININ appears on Bodybuilding Stage again. The former Great Bodybuilder was making his first steps as Organizer and Official. We remember VLADIMIR DUBININ was exactly the same level and same size at the best years of the Legendary ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER. Due to the communist “Iron Wall” the fortune was not successful and in that time and that perfect shape VLADIMIR DUBININ could not confront the best Western Bodybuilders.
The 1986 “Amber Prix International” was famous of the wins of the Best Socialist World Bodybuilders of the time: VIKTORAS JUCYS and OLEGAS ZURAS (both from Lithuania). The two Soviet Monsters started their way of Glory (later on VIKTORAS JUCYS ended as the first Over All USSR Champion, OLEGAS ZURAS as the Over All Heavyweight IFBB World Champion).
After the 1986 “Amber Prix International” Contest was over, the VIP Socialist Bodybuilding Officials gathered at the apartments of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to decide the future of Bodybuilding: EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS, VLADIMIR DUBININ, VLADIMIR SUBOV, GEORGIJ MOSALIOV (all Russia), ARKADIJ KASANSKIJ (Ukraine). From VIP Bodybuilding Personalities was missing the only one and that was INNAR MARDO (Innar Mardo was later the first President WFF-WBBF Estonia, the Organizer of 2001 WFF-WBBF Europe Championship in Tallinn, Estonia), who could not come to the “Amber Prix International” that year. Then in 1986 in Klaipeda the strategic questions of future bodybuilding were discussed, great sport transformations, nearest International Bodybuilding Events, foundation and registration of the USSR Bodybuilding Federation, official recognition of Bodybuilding in the USSR as well as the common sport contacts with the Western World were spoken over.
Basing on these decisions VLADIMIR DUBININ right after the 1986 “Amber Prix International” organized two “Belyje Nocy” (“White Nights”) International Contests in Leningrad (1986, 1987, St. Petersburg, Russia). In 1988 VLADIMIR DUBININ organized the first USSR Bodybuilding Championship, again in Leningrad. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS has always been among the organizers of these important events too. This was the moment of Honor and Glory of the best USSR Bodybuilder of the time – the Lithuanian VIKTORAS JUCYS, who was the Over All Winner of both two “Belyje Nocy” Contests and the first Official USSR Championship (1988). Soon the first USA Bodybuilders and Officials came to the USSR, the National USSR Bodybuilding Federation was registered after the wide meeting in Kubenka (Moscow) and Bodybuilding was recognized as sport in the USSR. All this happened in front of inner fighting, intrigues and blackmailing among the all people involved in the process. Then the famous Russia weightlifter and Olympic Champion JURY VLASOV was elected to the USSR Bodybuilding Federation President’s position. But we will speak of those historic moments some time later.

PREVIEW. TIME OF PROHIBITION AND PROSECUTION OF BODYBUILDING.
Due to the political reasons in the early seventies of the last century for nearly two decades bodybuilding was prohibited and prosecuted in the Socialits Countries, especially in the USSR. Most bodybuilding leaders got afrayed and step away, but not all of them. Among them was EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS who on his own risk began the dialoque with the USSR Communist Party Central Committee, theUSSR Government, the USSR Sport Ministry (Goskomsport) administration and the most important communist press – Newspapers „Pravda“, „Izvestija“ and „Sovietskij Sport“. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS wrote letters, spoke on phone with them and finally personally went to Moscow (Russia) to present the officially registered bodybuilding defending letters the the Headquarters of the mentioned above Institutions. Those letters of EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was like real „petitions“ of bodybuilding.
Nobody stopped the prohibition and the prosecution of bodybuilding, but they gave permittion for EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS to go on organizing „Amber Prix International“ Contest in Klaipeda (Lithuania). In fact the „Amber Prix International“ was an unofficial USSR Bodybuilding Championship and this was accepted by the USSR Sport Ministry when it began presenting honourable „USSR Sport Master“ names for the „Amber Prix International“ Champions. They say, the „Amber Prix International“ was the World Champiosnip of the Socialist Countries.

In some aspects „Amber Prix International“ was even higher that those in the West.

WFF-WBBF International aims to make BODYBUILDING OFFICIAL AND RECOGNIZED AND RESPECTED SPORT. We do not like the todays situation. Today bodybuilding is just business and not official private games. No sport, just festivals, shows and etc.. That is why WFF-WBBF International communicates with the Heads of many International Organizations, Country Governments, Sport Ministries, Municipal Leaders and Leaders of all religions of the World. We respect all of them.

Poland and Czechoslovakia were ones of the first European Countries which started developing Bodybuilding Sport in the Europe Continent. WFF-WBBF (World Fitness Federation, World Body Building Federation) International historically is connected with Polish Bodybuilding from the old sixties of the last century. There were many different common actions together in Lithuania and Poland, but unfortunatelly that had no constant working background. From the seventies up to nineties Bodybuilding Sport was prohibited and prosecuted in the Socialist Countries, especially in the USSR. Every survived as they could then.
At that time knowing various languages the President WFF-WBBF International EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was personally in the centre of all most important International Bodybuilding Events. EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was in touch with nearly all World‘s Bodybuilding Leaders of all International Federations and of many National Federations as well. Every possible moment EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS was visiting and corresponding them.
When everybody was afrayed to work for Bodybuilding EDMUNDAS DAUBARAS did a risky for those times of Bodybuilding prohibition preliminary work and sent to a Polish Event a Legendary Estonia Bodybuilding Leader INNAR MARDO and the Over All „Amber Prix International“ Winner OLEV ANNUS (for many years „Amber Prix International“ was the onofficial USSR Bodybuilding Championship later recognized by the Sport Ministry). It was Poland which hosted first Best USSR Bodybuilders at the International Contest in Warszawa (1979). Then OLEV ANNUS became the Over All Winner in Warszawa.
