My name is Jane . I am represent the Thai body building athletes . I live in Thailand and our country really interest body building , figure and fitness. We do have lot of Thai athletes that really train themselves hard to enter in many international contest and many of them have been accomplished in the contest . But the Thai government really not support this kind of sport , may be because it is not the popular sport . I would like to help all of this young athletes and this kind of sport to get more famous in our country . They really can be a good role model for the young children to spend their time in positive way by using this kind of sport which is one of the good choice . All of these young athletes who really need help to be guided and the support . I wonder if you could give us an advice how to help all of these young athletes and we all athletes willing to cooperate with your guidance .

Let us not forget Joe Weider in handing out lifetime achieveement awards. The man has dedicated his life to the deelopements of a process which to-day belongs to the world at large.If there is a single force responsible to the healthy developement of the human body , that honour belongs to Joe Weider.What the proessional body builders have done to a good idea and a proper developement process is not his responsibility. Body builders mof the forties and fifties had the righ process. Work hard, be consistant and eat well.People like Clarence Ross, Steve Reeves, Joffre L’Heureux and many others of that era did follow THE WEIDER PRINCIPLE.

There you have a richly deserved recognition for one of the foremost forces in the creation of the bodybuilding principle. Ben Weider deserves more recognition still such as a posthumous lifetime Achievement award on the occasion of the M.r Llympia in Las Vegas.

How, unfortunately, timely. Aside from the multitude of honours bestowed up Ben WWeider,possibly the most cherished will be noted, as the Life Achievement Award presented in Columbus, Ohio, on the Occasion of the ASrnold Classic. California GovernorGovernorArnold Scharzenneger Presented the award personally to Mr. Weider shortly before his sudden death in Montreal. The tributes have been pouring in from all over the world. Mr. Weider was proud of the fact that he had travelled so exrensively on behalf of Bodybuilding as was noted as the sturdy hand of Iron Diplomacy. Mr. Weider will be missed by his millions of worldwide fans. For a full background on Mr. Weider, Ben and Joe look up their CV site at ifbbpro.com
