Steps to Get Your IFBB Card

1) Compete in a show that is considered "National Qualifiers". In order to move closer to the IFBB card, you must place in a national qualifier show.

    • Competitors that place in the top five at a national qualifying contest are eligible for the Junior USA, Junior National, Team Universe, and North American.
    • Competitors that place in the top three at a national qualifying contest are eligible for the USA and Nationals.
    • There is also a Masters Nationals which is for those who placed in the Masters age classes (usually 35+).

    2) Next you must compete in a National show within a year of qualifying.

    • USA CHAMPIONSHIPS – Height class winners earn IFBB Pro Card (6 height classes)
