Which natural organization to compete in?

I'm a lifetime natural athlete, not sure if I should compete in an NPC Natural show or an inbf show? Any insight?

Thanks, how come?

Now this is just my humble opinion because both are great organizations, but the INBF show I did this year jusy seemed better organized and had a much more fun atmosphere than the NPC show I did. Example, men and women had to share a bathroom. Show started late.... things like that. But the promoters of both shows are top notch guys. That comp may had just been having a bad night. But the show I did this year (INBF)was fantastic!

Cool, now the hard part is finding one in the same state I live in.

Thank you Amy! I recommend the INBF/WNBF simply because they are actually dedicated to natural bodybuilding. Sometimes you have to travel for a good competition.

INBF- You'll actually have a chance. Believe it or not, there is quite a bit of skepticism regarding how natural some NPC competitors are. The polygraph doesn't catch everything...

I have experineced a lot of organisations and I now compete with the IFPA Pro organisation I would recommend competing with the OCB great organisation totally dedicated to the natural athlete in my opinion.

I have competed INBA/ABA, NPC, NGA, and INBF. So far, the best experiences I've had have been the INBF and NGA. I've also watched an NANBF show and an NANBF/IFPA pro/am and both were very well run. Most of the time it is very promoter dependant. For example, the natural NPC shows around here, are ehhhh. But Dave Goodin's natural show in TX, its just as stringently drug tested as an INBF show.

Perhaps this might be better posted in the OCB/IFPA section then. Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for all your responses. It has been very helpful. I'm still gonna do the NPC "natural" show on Oct 23rd, but I will plan ahead to compete in an INBF show next time.
