AAU Mr. Universe
The AAU Mr. Universe was a bodybuilding contest organised by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU). Of all the "Mr. Universe" contests it was the only one officially santioned by the International Weightlifting Federation (and sometimes referred to as the FIHC Mr. Universe). Anyone who competed in the NABBA Mr. Universe or IFBB Mr. Universe were not allowed in the AAU Mr. Universe as the AAU considered them professional events because they were not sanctioned by the FIHC.
