Welcome to episode 153 of the Bodybuilding Down Under podcast! In this special international edition, we’re joined by Lisa Blackburn, the Australian promoter for the OCB, and Sean “Sully” Sullivan, the long-time OCB promoter from the USA.

Together, we dive deep into the origins, values, and global growth of the Organisation of Competitive Bodybuilders (OCB), an incredibly respected federation in the natural bodybuilding scene. Sully shares how the OCB began and what sets it apart in terms of athlete experience, judging integrity, and drug testing protocols. Lisa takes us through the exciting journey of bringing the OCB to Australia and what local athletes can expect when stepping on an OCB stage.

We also explore:

• The prestige of the Yorton Cup and what it takes for Aussie athletes to qualify

• Key differences between OCB and other federations

• What’s ahead for OCB Australia in 2025 and beyond

• Their shared vision for raising the global standard of natural bodybuilding
