World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships
The World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships (officially: IFBB Men's World Amateur Bodybuilding Championships ) are the world championships in bodybuilding that are held annually under the supervision of the world's largest bodybuilding association, the International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness . The amateur title fights celebrated their premiere in 1976, and they also won the IFBB-Mr. Universe competition. The decisions in "Classic Bodybuilding", in which the maximum body weight of the participants is limited based on a fixed ratio to body size, have been taking place as an independent IFBB Mens World Classic Bodybuilding Championships since 2007 .

Classic bodybuilding
Classic Bodybuilding was recognized as a new discipline on November 27, 2005 at the IFBB Executive Council and IFBB Congress in Shanghai (China). As with the establishment of the body fitness discipline in the women's field three years earlier, the IFBB tried to create a counterpoint to conventional bodybuilding, in which muscle mass had become the decisive criterion over time. For this purpose, in Classic Bodybuilding, the maximum body weight of the athlete is determined depending on his height. There are currently the following classes with a corresponding weight limit:
- Body height up to 1.68 m - body weight = body height [cm] minus 100
- Body height up to 1.71 m - body weight = body height [cm] minus 100 + 2 kg
- Body height up to 1.75 m - body weight = body height [cm] minus 100 + 4 kg
- Body height up to 1.80 m - body weight = body size [cm] minus 100 + 6 kg
- Body height over 1.80 m
- up to 1.90 m - body weight = body height [cm] minus 100 + 8 kg
- up to 1.98 m - body weight = body height [cm] minus 100 + 9 kg
- over 1.98 m - body weight = body height [cm] minus 100 + 10 kg
