Cutler excelled in bodybuilding, desiring to be one of the largest competitors ever, and took his first overall win in 1993 at the Iron Bodies Invitational. His first contest was the 1992 Gold's Gym Worcester Bodybuilding Championships, at which he took second place. As he established a name for himself in the bodybuilding scene, he often appeared in bodybuilding-related videos including Battle for the Olympia 2001, a pre-contest documentary video directed by Mitsuru Okabe that highlighted many competitors as they prepared for the 2001 Mr. Olympia Competition.^[3] He went on to win consecutive Arnold Classic titles in 2002, 2003, and 2004, and placed second to Ronnie Coleman in the Mr. Olympia competition four times before claiming the title again in 2006.^{[citation needed]}

International Federation of body building and Fitness

HistoryEdit

In 1946, the IFBB was founded by brothers Benand Joe Weider in Montreal, Canada under the name "International Federation of Bodybuilders". The two founding countries were Canada and the United States. Mr. Ben Weider of Canada served as the first IFBB President. In 1967 the IFBB Mr. Olympia was held, which was the IFBB's first contest.^[5] From 1966 to 1970, the Federation experienced rapid growth as Joe and Ben Weider promoted the organization globally. By 1970, the IFBB had directors in more than 50 countries worldwide and the IFBB had its footprint in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia, North America, and South America.^[6]

On September 4, 1970, the IFBB held its 1st International Congress in Belgrade, Yugoslavia where a Constitution was adopted and an Executive Council.^[6] In 1971, the IFBB became a member of the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), now SportAccord. Upon receiving membership, the IFBB became the only official representative of bodybuilding to be recognized by world sport authorities. From the 1980s to his death in 2008, IFBB president Ben Weider petitioned the IOC for inclusion of bodybuilding in the Olympic Games.^[7]Although bodybuilding had never been on the Olympic Program,^[8] in 1998, the IOC granted the IFBB provisional recognition, which lasted nearly four years, but was withdrawn in 2001.^[9][10]

In 2004, the IFBB was renamed the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness, and maintained the "IFBB" abbreviation. The following year, the IFBB adopted new IFBB Anti-Doping Rules following the World Anti-Doping Code. The IFBB Professional Section was legally split from the IFBB to form the IFBB Professional League, its own legal entity with its own rules and regulations. In turn, the IFBB Constitution became a governing document for the amateur sport only.^[6] In 2006, after 60 years, Ben Weider resigned from his role as president and Dr. Rafael Santonja from Spain was elected as the new president. The IFBB headquarters were moved to Madrid, Spain. In 2010, Santonja was reelected for a second term, and in 2014, he was reelected for a third time at the IFBB World Congress in Brasilia.^[3]

OrganizationEdit

The IFBB is registered under Spanish law as a nonprofit legal entity. The IFBB has a constitution, technical rules, anti-doping rules, and democratically elected executive council with four-year terms. The IFBB meets annually at its International Congress, held in conjunction with the Men’s World Bodybuilding Championships.^[4]The IFBB is a founding member of the International World Games Association (IWGA) and also a member of the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE), the International Pierre de Coubertin Committee, and the International Council of Coach Education (ICCE). The IFBB is recognized by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), the Supreme Council for Sport in Africa, the Association of Pan-American Sport Federations (ACODEPA).^[7] The IFBB is also recognized by some 90 National Olympic Committees.^[3] The IFBB participates in several Regional Games recognized by the IOC including the Southeast Asian Games, the Asian Games, the South American Games, the Asian Beach Games, the Arab Games, the Pacific Games, the African Games, and the World Games.^[7] The IFBB has also participated at the Central American Games.^[3]

Late Rich piana

Early lifeEdit

Piana was born in Glendale, California, on September 26, 1970.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} He was of Armenian(through his mother) and Italian descent (through his father). Raised in Sacramento, California,^[12] his enthrallment with bodybuilding began when he was six. He would go to the gym to watch his mother train for her bodybuilding contests. Alongside her, Piana was also heavily influenced by Bill Cambra, an "old-school" bodybuilder. At age 11, Piana began weightlifting. Four years later, he started competing in bodybuilding contests. For his senior year in high school, he lived with his father in La Crescenta, California.^[12] By the age of 18, Piana already had several titles under his belt, including IFBB Mr. Teen California in 1989,^[8] and had started on a common steroid cycle practice known as "test and deca" that combines testosterone (an anabolic steroid that is the primary male sex hormone) and Deca-Durabolin(known generically as Nandrolone).

CareerEdit

Piana won the IFBB Mr. Teen California competition in 1989 at age 18, and in 1998 he was named IFBB Mr. California.^[8] He continued to compete on and off for about 25 years, winning NPC competitions in the 2003 Los Angeles Super-Heavyweight division, 2009 Sacramento Super-Heavyweight division, and the 2009 Border States Classic Super-Heavyweight division and overall championship.^[9] He was featured on the cover of the November 1998 issue of Ironmanmagazine^[8][9] and the Summer 2015 issue of Muscle Sport magazine.^[9]

He had a cameo appearance as The Incredible Hulk in an episode of the television series Scrubs^[8]and played an oiled-up muscle man named Marcus in an episode of "Malcolm in the Middle" (without any spoken lines). He was one of the main focuses of the 2017 bodybuilding documentary Generation Iron 2.

In a 2014 YouTube video, he admitted that he had used anabolic steroids over the course of 25 years – since he was 18 years old – and specifically stated that everyone should be aware that using steroids will do damage to their body, but also said that he was willing to take the chance.^[13] He said he had experienced some side effects, such as hair loss, gynecomastia (enlarged breasts, which he had treated with medication), and signs of liver toxicity, but said he had not had acne or major problems thus far.^[13] However, he said "I am totally 100% aware that damage is being done to my body by the choices I am making", that "I know for a fact that doing what I am doing is going to cause damage", but also said "I have made a choice and I am willing to deal with that – I am willing to take those chances".^[13] In another video in 2016, he backed up his decision but advised viewers not to use the drugs, stating, "If you have the choice to do steroids or stay natural, stay natural. There's no reason to do steroids. You're only hurting your body and hurting yourself." He then clarified that professional bodybuilders have no such choice, since they cannot win at that level without using the drugs.^[5] He said "If you want to become a professional bodybuilder, guess what? You're probably going to have to fuckin' do 'em. You're not going to have a choice – you're going to have to do them. That's the boat I was in. I was competing on stage and I was getting to the point where I was going to keep getting blown off the stage if I didn't do them. So I took that step and that's the road I chose, and here I am."^[5][7]

He offered advice on how to use the drugs "properly" for those he said were going to use them anyway.^[5] He said that when he was competing at the national level, he was taking 20 international units per day of Serostim, a synthetic form of human growth hormone, which would cost about $8,000 per month at ordinary prescription prices (although he was sometimes getting it for free^[14] or for about $2,000 through connections with people who had prescriptions for it to fight HIV infection).^[5] He said that during his bodybuilding career he "lived and died for bodybuilding".^[14]

Piana quit bodybuilding competitions in his last few years and spent his time as a social media personality and promoting his business, called Rich Piana: 5% Nutrition.^[8] The meaning of "5%" in the name of the brand is that "5% represents the percentage of people that are out there actually doing whatever it takes to fulfill their dreams, to accomplish their goals, and to live the type of life they want to live."^[10][1][2]

In his post-competition life, he promoted his brand and frequently spoke about the use of steroids and hormones and the associated consequences.^[13][15] He made appearances at fitness expos, and in videos posted on YouTube, he gave advice about diet and fitness routines. He had 1.2 million followers on Instagram and hundreds of thousands of followers on YouTube.

Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's musculature.^[1] An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In professional bodybuilding, bodybuilders appear in lineups and perform specified poses (and later individual posing routines) for a panel of judges who rank the competitors based on criteria such as symmetry, muscularity, and conditioning. Bodybuilders prepare for competitions through a combination of intentional dehydration, elimination of nonessential body fat, and carbohydrate loadingto achieve maximum vascularity, as well as tanning to accentuate muscular definition. Bodybuilders may use anabolic steroids to build muscles.

The winner of the annual IFBB Mr. Olympia contest is generally recognized as the world's top male professional bodybuilder. The title was held by Phil Heath, who won every year from 2011 to 2017, but in 2018 the winner was Shawn Rhoden.

The title is currently held by Juliana Malacarne, who has won every year since 2014. Since 1950, the NABBAUniverse Championships have been considered the top amateur-bodybuilding contests, with notable winners such as Reg Park, Lee Priest, Steve Reeves, and Arnold Schwarzenegger
