WBF Bodybuilding Lifestyles Review
Although WBF Bodybuilding Lifestyle didn't stay in circulation very long (1991-1992), it was a good source of fitness information for many interested in fitness and bodybuilding. It was also a good read for those interested in the WBF superstars!
WBF Bodybuilding Lifestyles contained what most other bodybuilding magazines contained: Lots of tips, nutrition, weightlifting and supplement information. This magazine was all about pumping up, maxing out and the WBF superstars.
World Bodybuilding Federation Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon was president of the World Wresting Federation when he decided to launch the magazine Bodybuilding Lifestyles. This was his first step in forming a rival pro federation to the IFBB. This was denied by McMahon, the only statements being that he did intend to form a magazine publication.
Eventually, a new federation was founded - the WBF. This, however was short-lived as McMahon reportedly lost 15 million dollars on his foray into bodybuilding. Toward the end, his reputation was in a shambles and he bowed out disgracefully. He thought he could achieve more in two years than Ben and Joe Weider built over a 50 year period, but it was not to be.
