NABBA is the first and the original competitive bodybuilding association established in 1948. The first Mr. Universe competition held by NABBA happened in 1950, and since then, the award has been won by many gifted bodybuilders, including the world-famous Arnold Schwarzenegger. NABBA is also linked with WFF or the World Fitness Federation, an international bodybuilding organization that promotes classic or athletic bodybuilding with a focus on the aesthetic quality of the physique instead of just muscularity.
