Welcome back! This is Part 2 of the podcast series I am doing is called "Meet The Federations" where you are going to learn first-hand all the different options there are in the sport of bodybuilding by highlighting people in the different federations that know each of them the best.
Today we are talking all about the WNBF (World Natural Bodybuilding Federation) and my guest is Nancy Andrews, 4x WNBF Pro World Champion, promotor, judge, head judge, and WNBF co-owner.
Learn what makes the WNBF different from other federations and how it has evolved over the past 30 years. Also, learn which of the most successful IFBB bodybuilders were also champions in the WNBF!
