When it comes to natural bodybuilding contests, not every federation treats pro status the same way. At the ANBF, we believe in honoring the work you’ve already put in.

If you earned pro status in another drug-tested organization, we accept it.

✅ Yes—we honor outside pro cards.
✅ Yes—you’ll need an ANBF membership.
✅ No—you don’t have to start from scratch.

If your previous pro card expired or you’re no longer active with another federation, don’t worry. As long as you can provide documentation of your pro status, we’ll gladly recognize it. We believe in the principle of “once a pro, always a pro.”

Prefer to start fresh as an amateur and earn your ANBF Pro Card on our stage? That’s your choice too. We’re an organization built on freedom, fairness, and forward progress.

Our contests are fully drug-tested through:

• A strict 7-year drug-free policy

• Mandatory drug screening

• Random in-season urinalysis testing

This ensures a level playing field, where talent, work ethic, and strategy—not shortcuts—define success.

Choosing a tested federation like ANBF means:

• More career longevity

• Greater health outcomes

• Equal opportunity to succeed

• Real respect from the community
  
  

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or chasing your first win, ANBF gives you the freedom to grow—your way.
