Ladies-

If you were to compete in your first competition, which one would you lean towards? Why or why not?

Probably the IFBB... at the risk of a bunch of people being mad over my wording, imma put myself out there and say it reads a little more "serious" and less "beauty pageant" than the WBFF.

That's not to say that any WBFF competitors didn't work as hard as any IFBB competitor to achieve their results (or don't look as good, bc they do!) But I personally wouldn't want my efforts associated with "World Beauty Fitness and Fashion Inc." I really just think I'm more offended by the terminology/wording than anything else.

I'm a linguistics nerd. Cut me some slack.

Aside from my general prejudices, WBFF is smaller. Better luck would probably be had getting/finding a sponsor competing in IFBB. I've read different things about needing a pro card to compete IFBB (although the general consensus is you don't). You can't compete outside of IFBB if that's what you choose, either.

I think it really depends on your goals in competing. I would still choose IFBB, bc, well, put off by the pageantry language.

(PS, maybe post in the BB forum. Chit chatters may not even know hat those acronyms are. You mgiht even get somne veteran advice in BB).
