WNBF Ukraine was established on January 1, 2021 in Lviv, Ukraine by WNBF Ukraine President David Birger.
A message from the President;
My name is David Birger, I was born and continue to live in Lviv, Ukraine. I am a huge fan of natural bodybuilding and have been for several years. My sports career began 17 years ago when my father introduced me to kickboxing. I was also very involved in soccer, water polo, and rugby as a young boy. At the age of 15, when I was playing rugby, I started to get interested in strength development and added basic upper body exercises such as pull-ups, push-ups and dips. The love for this type of training laid the foundation for my bodybuilding career.
I competed for the very first time in the “Mister Perfect” bodybuilding championships in 2018. After placing 3rd in my class, I began to focus to train even harder and I became the champion of Ukraine, won the overall at the 2019 and 2020 Mr. Perfect and best posing awards. At this very time, I also began following the best natural bodybuilders all of which are professionals in the WNBF, the largest and most authoritative federation of all. This was my new lifetime goal; to become a WNBF Pro. Fate would have it that very soon after, myself and Bob Bell WNBF President, would meet online and set up what became a very historic conversation for myself. I was extended the opportunity to create WNBF Ukraine, the first natural bodybuilding organization in Ukraine’s sports history!
I am actively developing natural bodybuilding in my country and will provide a platform of doping control for athletes from around the world. I am sure that natural bodybuilding has a bright future because it is based on a healthy, aesthetic, proportional body and natural appearance. If we recall the history of sports, bodybuilding was natural from the beginning. In my opinion, we should move persistently, not listen to naysayers, develop our own vision, and establish our own criteria for the ideal of bodybuilding. Ukraine is a country with great development potential. We have every opportunity to create a quality platform for natural bodybuilding and lay a foundation for the development of natural athletes. We are sure that this sport will dominate in the future, and for this, we will demonstrate our desire and hard work.
“Bodybuilding is the art of feeling a harmonious physique. Achieving one’s own peak of perfection by forming a comprehensive vision and realizing it in the material world” (c) David Birger
