How to Tone Sagging Arms Instantly in Less Than 5 Minutes

How fast do you want to see results? Yesterday right?

With all the advances in technology and communication, we have become a nation of people who cannot have things given to us fast enough. When we want something, we want it now, in seconds, and nobody wants to wait.

The same goes for your changing your body, and toning and sculpting your arms.

Most people pick up an exercise program and, if they don't see results in a week's time or less, they give up and move on to the next thing.

After all, in the fitness industry, the typical amount of time that trainers say you will see results is about 8 weeks. The problem with that, is it's hard to stay motivated for 8 weeks while you hope that you are doing the right thing; especially when it comes to something like saggy and flabby arms.

What if you only have a few weeks before you need to wear a sleeveless dress?

What if you have a formal function coming up, and you want to look you absolute best?

What if you start a program, and then realize as the days close in on the event that you haven't made an ounce of progress because you've been following the wrong program?

Sounds like a scary situation right?

So is it possible to see results sooner? And I mean really soon, like a matter of a few days, soon?

The answer is a resounding YES!

In fact, many professional bodybuilders and fitness models know this very secret.

If you go back-stage at any bodybuilding competition, you will see tanned and oiled up bodies everywhere, frantically exercising with fitness bands, dumbbells, and doing pushups, chinups and other various exercises.

This is called 'pumping up' and it is essential for success on any stage where you need to look your best.

Models (both male and female) are known for doing this before a photo shoot as well.

This type of 'pumping up' moves water from under the skin (which gives a flabby and soft appearance) and moves it into the muscles giving you a toned and defined look. Not bad for results in less than 10 minutes hey?

Now don't get confused with "bulking up", because this won't make you have huge bulging muscles. However, it will temporarily firm and tone the muscles you do have; giving you a sleek, sexy appearance.

What this means for YOU, is that the next time you have a hot date, want to look extra great in that swimsuit before you step on the beach, or even want to get a few extra looks on the street when you step out; you can do a quick set of body weight exercises (like crunches, pushups, and squats) and look better INSTANTLY.

I recommend getting a fitness band and doing three to four sets of tricep pushdowns with only 15 seconds rest between sets. Keep the reps high (in the 15-20 rep range) and make sure to squeeze the muscle hard at the contraction point of each repetition.

This will give you great results that are actually visible, and it will only take you a few minutes before you head out the door.

Now how is that for fast results?

Female Bodybuilding - A Condensed History of the Sport

In the Beginning

As you can guess, the sport of bodybuilding began with the men. Competitive male bodybuilding started in the very late 19th century. The most prestigious competition for men today is the Mr. Olympia contest.

Here Come the "Girls"

Female bodybuilding noticeably came on the scene in the late 1970s. The first official female contest in the U.S. was the Women's National Physique Championship in 1978. The most prestigious title for women today is Ms. Olympia, which started in 1980 as Miss Olympia. The Ms. Olympia competition is currently the top competition for professional female bodybuilders.

The National Physique Committee sponsors the top amateur level competition for women in the U.S. Interestingly, contestants in this competition are required to "maintain a feminine look. Extreme hardness and extreme muscle size is not acceptable." Besides these two competitions, there are many other organizations and contests for female bodybuilders all over the world.

Mainstream Exposure and Acceptance

In the 1980s, female bodybuilding started to get some mainstream exposure due to some "scandals." A couple of female bodybuilders had posed for Playboy magazine. They were suspended from competition for a year for doing this. The movie "Pumping Iron II: The Women" and some small television coverage of the females' contests - usually months after the actual competition and used only as TV filler - provided additional coverage. The Ms. Olympia competition in 1991 was the first female bodybuilding title to be televised live.

More Controversy and Some Double Standards

Since the beginning of recognized female bodybuilding contests, there has been a level of controversy and/or conflict found in the rules and judging panels of the bodybuilders' governing organizations.

Mostly, the conflict has to do with how "feminine" the women bodybuilders are supposed to be while at the same time being very muscular. For example, in 2000, new guidelines introduced by the International Federation of Body Building and Fitness (IFBB) stated that women would be judged on "healthy appearance, face, makeup, and skin tone." The IFBB also said that women would be judged on "symmetry, presentation, separations, and muscularity BUT NOT TO THE EXTREME!" (The caps and exclamation point were in the original guidelines.)

In 2004, IFBB introduced a "20% percent rule," requesting that "female athletes in Bodybuilding, Fitness and Figure decrease the amount of muscularity by a factor of 20%." These kinds of double-standards and ever-changing rules can get confusing!

The Sport Continues to Grow

In spite of the difficulties of the double standards, and the fact that extreme discipline and commitment is needed for the sport, female bodybuilding continues to grow in popularity as more women are drawn to weightlifting and the athleticism of the sport.

Fantastic Physique Photos - Tips For Taking Great Bodybuilding Pictures

Most aspirant or established bodybuilders take a lot of pictures of themselves during their quest for the perfect body. This is not a sure sign of narcissism though as these photos will be an excellent graphic record of progress during various stages of the process. It makes a lot of sense then to invest in the best photographic equipment one can afford at an early stage and also to spend a bit of time perfecting the techniques needed to take good solo bodybuilding pictures.

These points are often neglected, a fact amply demonstrated by the masses of really bad self taken bodybuilding pictures one sees. Bodybuilding is a sport that's success is judged visually, both on stage and in pictorial form. If, for example, the venue lighting is bad on the day of a contest, contestants are going to have a hard time getting the maximum visual impact across in their routines. They may be seen clearly, but if the lighting is too muted or harsh and not placed correctly, muscle definition may be far less apparent and poses not as effective.

The same principles apply to shooting your own bodybuilding pictures. You are going to be spending a huge amount of time, effort and money on your sport so it is senseless to neglect the photographic component of your equipment. Fortunately it's not necessary to spend thousands on a studio grade setup. Digital cameras are getting better and cheaper each year and it's possible to get an intermediate level digital with good optics and high megapixel sensor for a very reasonable price. The only other critical item in a basic photographic setup is a tripod. Again, really good examples can be had at prices that won't decimate your bank balance.

Let's start by looking at camera choices. This, being the core of your photographic equipment, should be the absolute best example you can afford. In today's environment it doesn't make much sense investing in a film camera (if you can still find one that is). Digitals simply offer so many advantages that they represent the only serious option when considering camera choices. Always try and stay with the big names as optic and component quality is usually better as is the after sales service. Brand names such as Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus and Konica Minolta are always safe choices. Kodak, HP, Panasonic and FujiFilm also make decent cameras. One feature that would be a definite plus in a camera is a remote. This will allow for a lot of flexibility when shooting solo bodybuilding pictures.

 Photography is making magic with light. Lighting is possibly the most important factor in any photographic genre, and particularly so in taking bodybuilding pictures where muscle definition is so critical in creating visual impact. Again it's not necessary to break the bank. Any fairly intense, directable light source will get the job done. For best results try and get two separate light sources set up at approximately 45° to your pose position and situated behind the point were you are going to set up your camera. Try to avoid using flash unless you have a flash diffuser as flash tends to wash out too much subtle detail. Remember that a high light position will emphasise shadow at the bottom of the muscle structure while a lower position will do the same for the lower abs but also possible detract from your chest.

Your camera should always be placed on a tripod to avoid any blurring that will play havoc with definition in your shots. If you have a portable, full length mirror it helps to place it almost directly behind the camera so that you adjust you poses for maximum effect. Just remember to look directly at the camera again before taking the shot. Keep unnecessary clutter out of the background that can detract from you as the focal point. This is especially true of items that could possibly cause a bout of blushing at a later stage!

Personal preparation for taking bodybuilding pictures should include the following points:

Body hair should be removed as it detracts from muscle definition in bodybuilding pictures.
Try to avoid eating for approximately an hour before you take the pictures. A recent meal will distend your stomach and ruin your profile.
Pump before you shoot, and no, that's not XXX grade movie advice either. A short workout prior to taking the pictures will increase blood flow and muscle volume.
Skin tone and highlights are essential in showcasing muscle development in bodybuilding pictures. Concentrate on maintaining a good tan and oil up to increase highlights. This will really define your muscle mass.
Practice good pose. Suck in that gut and keep you back straight or slightly arched back. When applying tension try to make it look effortless and smile! No war faces here.
Once the pictures are taken you can use software to edit the results if you can and are so inclined. Skin blemishes can miraculously disappear and lighting and exposure adjusted to maximise the effect. Superimposing Mel Gibson's face is not on though!

It is impossible to briefly cover all the different techniques and settings that can be applied to get great results in bodybuilding pictures. Experience will quickly teach you how to maximise the results though and if you use the preceding tips you'll soon be able to build a flattering portfolio.

How to Get Started in Bodybuilding

When first starting in bodybuilding you are normally, unfit, overweight and, in total, just out of shape. There is a good chance that you are on a wrong diet with a higher calorie intake in the form of carbohydrates, protein and fat, but mostly fat, than what you need, and probably inactive, a real couch potato.

The question is where to start. You might think of first note down your weight and other measurements so as to follow your progress as you go. That will definitely motivate you to carry on when noticing your progress. At first you will find an increase in weight. Don't be disappointed, this is because you are gaining muscle and muscle weigh more than fat. You will see a decrease in your measurements though.

For a bodybuilder it is very important to eat enough. When you don't eat enough your body will starve and you won't be putting on that wished for bulk but fat.

Not all body types have the same results. Some bodybuilders suffer to gain bulk and are called "hard gainers". They also can't shake of additional pounds. Others find it easier to throw off spare pounds and this is because of their body types. It doesn't matter what your personal problems are, there are basic dietary principles that can provide a substitute diet for the core of hopeful bodybuilder.

When working out your body actually uses up muscle tissue as protein. This needs to be replaced at a higher rate as what it's used. As a general rule, eat lean meats and not fatty meat. What work well are portions the fishes, boiled crab, shrimps, crayfish, turkey with skin removed and chicken also with skin removed. Eggs are also good sources of protein.

Replace vitamins as soon as possible, this is necessary to keep your body healthy. Rather take natural vitamins and minerals, in the form of fruits and vegetables, than supplements. Green vegetables are definitely a very good source of all your important vitamins; it is recommended that you consume plenty of cabbage, spinach, broccoli as well as asparagus.

Your need of carbohydrates is done with grains. You will need sources of whole grains like rolled oats. Rather eat brown rice than white rice; it's full of fiber which is much needed to keep your intestines working well.

Intake of animal fats must be reduced as far as possible. Consume dairy products that are low in fat such as low-fat cheeses, yogurt and milk.

When you want to increase bulk and muscle, you will need more sizable meals and this will be unmanageable if you solely consume three times a day. Because of the increased size of meals you now need to take in it calls for consuming the nutrition over an extended period which calls for smaller meals one to two hours apart instead of four or more.

Consume for fat-burning and your metabolic process overall. Five or six small-scale meals per day as opposed to bountiful meals three times per day you will digestive system will be able to manage. Include protein in each meal with protein of a plant origin like peas, beans and protein from thin meats, low-fat dairy or egg.

The secret of achieving this health and trim muscular body you have to do a lot of cardiovascular exercise. These exercises are exercises that involve the large muscles like legs. It helps to make your heart and lungs stronger.

Cardiovascular exercise has lots of health benefits like lowering your blood pressure, and also it can burn lots of calories especially for those who want to lose weight. Cardiovascular exercise gets your body fit and healthy and your whole body working better. During cardiovascular or aerobic exercise oxygen gets continuously delivered to your muscles but also to your brain.

Half hour of aerobic training a couple times a week just isn't going to be enough to keep you healthy. It has been recommended by the medical experts on training Americans, ALL of them, men and women, should strength train at least twice a week to work all the major muscles as well as doing some aerobic activity.

Start your exercise routines by taking your body's condition at this stage into account, beginners should start slowly and don't overdo it. Muscle building that involves the whole body such as squats, bicep curls and bench presses are the best to do as they burn more calories and involve big groups of muscles, the so called cardiovascular exercise. Alter your program every month and a half or so to avoid boredom, your body getting used to the exercise and then plateaus in muscle building. To keeping your muscles toned isn't necessarily about continually lifting heavier weights. Men and women can follow the same guidelines as far as muscle building and cardiovascular fitness is concerned but calories intake and workout length may need to vary as it is the case between individuals anyway.

Bodybuilding Females

So you want to join the ranks of bodybuilding females? But you still wrestling with the question of Size zero or well toned body ... hmm! Tough call. Size zero is about keeping your bones together in a skin bag and a well toned body is about getting that "Baywatch babe" you have been hiding, out in the open. No brainer decision really!

Bodybuilding females are the picture of health, satisfied and have good body symmetry. Over the last few years there has been a huge increase in the number of women bodybuilders. There is far better understanding amongst women of what can be achieved by bodybuilding than ever before.

It was believed that women could not build muscle due to the high levels of estrogen and lack of testosterone in the female body. Whilst it is true that men can build muscles easier than women, women most definitely can build muscle without too much effort or the use of testosterone shots. In fact the process of building muscle in women is the same as men.

Besides the obvious benefit of turning a few heads with that "Baywatch Babe" body, there are more great benefits for bodybuilding females. By increasing the bodies muscle mass you can greatly improve you strength, minimize the effects of aging by decreasing muscular atrophy (especially if you are 40 or over). And here is a real biggy...because you have built some really great and shapely muscle your body's metabolic rate just went through the roof. So you can have that delicious cheese cake whilst your size zero friends have some or other green thing.

Now we need to just clear up two myths.

Myth 1 is that when you stop building muscle that it will instantly turn to fat. Well this is not true as it is impossible for muscle to turn to fat. What happens when you stop exercising is that your body tries to get to its optimum state i.e. lean and mean, so is simply uses that well built muscle as an energy source. If you carry on eating the same amount you did whilst exercising then the obvious will happen. You will get fat...so that's how muscle becomes fat.

Myth 2 is that the process men use to build muscle is different from women. The process is the same. Its all about stressing the bodies muscle by lifting the heaviest weights possible until you can not anymore. This failure to pick up the next weight should occur between 5 and 7 repetitions. Then all you need to do is progress further each weak by increasing the weights. And hey presto Baywatch Babe will come out to play. So join the ranks of the bodybuilding females today!

Bodybuilding Workout - A Bodybuilding Workout to Build Muscle

Bodybuilding workouts are widely practiced by both men and women all over the world. A bodybuilder's exercise routines, sets and repetitions comprise a bodybuilding workout. These exercises are done at a specific schedule and for a specific number of repetitions to develop a certain group of muscles. The most common reason for starting on a bodybuilding workout routine is to achieve a well defined and more muscular body. Bodybuilding can be considered a sport, and as with all over sport related activities, bodybuilding workouts come with risks.

A bodybuilding workout can be composed of a variety of exercises that focus on a variety of things: to improve one's muscular balance, to enhance muscle tone, or to increase the amount of muscle.

No matter the purpose for the bodybuilding workout routine, one rule that should be adhered to when training is to make sure that you do not overdo it. Overdoing a bodybuilding workout can cause adverse effects that may be detrimental to one's fitness goals as well as to one's overall health. For on thing, overtraining can cause the extreme development of muscles, which may be ok for the present, but will eventually cause problems in the long run as too much muscle growth can overstretch the skin; stretch marks and even flabby skin may develop especially if you stop exercising.

Another adverse consequence that may occur if you overdo your bodybuilding workout is the possibility of gaining too much weight once you stop exercising. This can also happen once you stop following the diet that goes with a bodybuilding workout.

To avoid damaging your body when engaging in bodybuilding workout routines, you should learn to exercise moderately and do so under the supervision of an expert or an instructor. While on a bodybuilding workout routine, you should also follow the diet that was set up to go with the workout. If you do stop exercising, try to at least stick to the diet to avoid gaining weight. You should also try to exercise on a regular basis, not to develop more muscle, but to maintain the condition of your body. Quitting your bodybuilding workout suddenly can cause you to gain a lot more weight.

It is important to remember that once your body gets used to a certain type of exercise, it can become quite hard for your body to adjust to a more sluggish lifestyle. Anything done in excess, even exercise, can cause harm. With this, try to avoid taking your bodybuilding workout to a very high level and practice with a certified instructor; this way, you avoid any injuries and any possible side effects that may occur in the future.

Bodybuilding History Timeline

To understand bodybuilding you need to take time to look back at the history of it how far it has come in the past century. Bodybuilding in the modern evolution started in the 1890's with Eugene Sandow; who is crowned at the Olympia every September as a world champion. Cultures as a whole started looking at the weight lifting and strongmen as a chance to issue challenges to each other by seeing who could out-lift the most on many levels. This is where power lifting competitions exemplify this challenge and competition at its finest. Nevertheless, symmetry was not a concept known at this point in time, but was soon to have emergence with Eugene Sandow. Sandow himself started in Europe as a strongman before traveling to America in the 1890's.

Sandow promoted bodybuilding and also published the first magazine of the time promoting the sport called, "Physical Culture". Sandow happened to suffer a brain hemorrhage when he tried to pull a car from a ditch to show his prowess in physicality. Sandow had the chance to judge the first bodybuilding contest before his untimely death. The first show was called "The Great Show" in 1891. Prize money back then was $2,500 and a gold Sandow statue. Judging criteria was laid out so that points would be awarded for showing more than just size, they included; general development, balance of development, condition and tone of muscle tissue, general health and condition of the competitors skin. The first Sandow statue went to a man named William Murray of Great Britain. After this bodybuilding competition, it became increasingly more popular.

This was the time when the cartoon "Hey Skinny...yer ribs are showing!" became popular. We have all seen this cartoon at some time, where a skinny guy with a cute girl on the beach is picked on by the big guy with muscles. The big guy kicks sand in the wimp's face and then he takes his girl. This has become the stigma over the years for the big guy. This has been known as the most successful advertising campaign in history. By the end of the 1920's we had barbells, dumbbells and other exercises that led to more muscular development in present day. On the California coast from the 1930's to the 1970's you would see weight lifting on the beach become increasingly popular; where at the top of the list is muscle beach in Venice.

Competition intensified when the Amateur Athletic Union brought in Mr. America in 1939; where the participants would demonstrate athletic skills and were advised to get in the best possible shape to help their chances of winning. John Grimek the first Mr. America was advanced in muscle development and won the award the second year as well. He became a new idol; one where the fitness role takes a new direction in physical development and improvement overall. Steve Reeves and Clancy Ross were both big time names during this time; although some still were skeptic about the sport of bodybuilding.

Early world known names include the greats, Frank Zane, Bill Pearl and Sergio Oliva. Ben Weider the figurehead for present day bodybuilding was the influence in forming the IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilders) in 1946. The competition that is known to all at this time is the Mr. Olympia started in 1965 by Weider and the IFBB. The 1960's would mark the time the biggest bodybuilder in history comes to light. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1967 started his reign with winning the Mr. America title and dominated the bodybuilding world where he would go on to win the Mr. Universe five times and Mr. Olympia an astounding seven times. Bodybuilding grew in the 1970's Arnold and other stars like Zane, Draper and Feriggno. While the muscular body gained in popularity, the gym world gained momentum and people realized this is a very lucrative business to be in.

The 1970's brought dominance for bodybuilding and the IFBB. The federation decided to make bodybuilding a legitimate sport when enough competitors in over 100 countries became known. By this time bodybuilding had become a multibillion dollar industry. Currently we have seen many major names come into the world of bodybuilding such as Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Norris as well as Ben Johnson and Carl Lewis. Right training and dieting have become central to everyday life for more than four billion of the world's population. Competitive bodybuilders are at their all time largest, finding new ways to increase muscle size as well as finding this can be a career choice. In the 1980's we had the chance to see steroids come to the light and put a black eye on the sport of bodybuilding. The physiques improved due also to advances in training and strategies. We saw Lee Haney win seven Mr. Olympia awards with his physique around 240lbs and be larger than any other bodybuilder at that point where we now see many pushing close to 300lbs. When Haney retired he had beaten down Arnold's records and many believe to be the largest name in bodybuilding. We now have very public figures in bodybuilding such as reigning Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler, former king of bodybuilding Ronnie Coleman and Gunter Schlierkamp who moved his way into the world of film. Bodybuilding competitions continue to be popular and inspirational to many fans.

Oral Growth Hormone In Bodybuilding

In the good old days bodybuilders exercised hard and ate well to build muscles and it took them years to build a great body. With the world wars came the advances in technology and medicine. It helped the bodybuilding community get better machines and prepare better fitness regimes, and it also churned out many miracle drugs.

The growth hormone is a protein hormone naturally produced in the body by the pituitary gland. It induces and regulates growth and the reproduction of cells in the body. Modern scientific research has proved that it also has many other positive effects on the human body. This is released by the pituitary gland during exercise and sleep. Its release is also stimulated by low blood sugar level, dietary protein and growth hormone releasing hormone.

Biosynthetic human growth hormoneis used for medical purposes to treat children and adults with problems related to deficiency in growth hormone. They were prescribed injections which are very expensive. Oral growth hormone is a cheaper alternative to expensive injections and do not need a prescription and is widely used by bodybuilders. It is also used for its anti aging properties which enhances skin and muscle tone, regenerates tissue and improves strength and vigor making you younger.

There are many pharmaceutical companies that sell bodybuilding oral growth hormones and supplements which enhance the production of it in the body. It is sold in the form of pills and sprays. Sprays are simply sprayed under the tongue and are considered to be very effective.

Use of oral growth hormone in bodybuilding helps in increasing muscle mass, it also reduces fat, increases bone density, enhances strength and capacity to exercise and also rejuvenates the immune system. So it is truly a boon for bodybuilders looking for that extra something to achieve better results. Also its use cannot be easily detected as it is a protein hormone.

Today everybody wants to have a great looking body easily and, if possible, get those huge muscles yesterday. In bodybuilding too supplements and miracle pills have become more popular and important than the long hours of intense training and a good nutritious diet.

A word of caution though. The use of growth hormone for non medical purposes has created a lot of controversy both ethically and medically. It should be remembered that the abuse of any drug, however much its miraculous properties, is a sure way of inviting dangerous health problems.

Stretch Marks - Common Treatments to Get Better Looking Skin

A common problem to women today is the sight of stretch marks. These can lower self-confidence and are unsightly to look at. In order to answer this problem, researches were conducted to pinpoint the exact solution of the problem. But still, many scientists are still on their "on-going" research on the solution. As time passes, men developed various methods but the 3 methods that mostly used and known are laser treatment, cream treatment, and natural treatment.

When the middle layer of skin, that is the dermis, is over stretched due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, growth spurts and bodybuilding there will be tissue inflammations of which when reflected to the skin's surface appears in red lines. This is a manifestation of fresh wounds. However, red lines will turn into white or off-white color lines as the wounds heal, leaving a scar which are called stretch marks.

Men can also have them. It is most common to body builders because there is a rapid accumulation of muscles in the arms and shoulders. These parts are the most prompt to the marks' development. Obese men also have them. In the case of women, they get them during pregnancy where there is a rapid stretching of the skin because of the growing baby inside.

Using Electronic Muscle Stimulation to Tone the Abs

Products that use electronic muscle stimulation, or EMS for short, have become hugely popular in recent years. These items are used by people who are slightly overweight and want to slim down. They are also used by those who want a six pack abs stomach. The main attraction of using such a product is losing weight and toning the stomach area. It is a convenient slimming aid and works simply by wearing a set of pads or a belt.

Wearing an abs belt is one way of using electronic muscle stimulation to tone the abs. It is fairly discreet and can be worn under your clothing. This means it can be used while you are engaged in other tasks such as driving or working. Many sports professionals have started using EMS to tone the muscles. When a professional sportsperson is in plaster and is unable to train, these products keep the body and muscles ticking over. This suggests there is some merit in the manufacturer's claims regarding the effectiveness of EMS.

Electronic muscle stimulation works by mimicking muscle contraction and this is caused by delivering electric impulses to the muscles. The impulses are generated by an electronic device and delivered through terminals or electrodes to the skin, directly on the muscles to be stimulated. This is a great idea in theory but unfortunately many people who buy these products find the novelty quickly wears off. Often the underlying reasons why many bought these products in the first place, still remain.

There is no doubt that this method does work to a degree. However, for the serious athlete or bodybuilder these impulses can be compared to a weak muscle contraction. These products can be beneficial for rehabilitation purposes such as when athletes are recovering from injury and are unable to undergo full training. In the time it takes to set up one of these products, the average person could easily perform several sets of exercises on the living room floor. This would probably provide far better results.

Many people have made the mistake of assuming that electronic muscle stimulation will give them the body of their dreams while sat on the sofa watching their favourite television show. This is wishful thinking and exaggerates the effectiveness of these products. The toning belts that work by using electronic muscle stimulation to tone the abs, may well assist a fitness training program and a healthy eating regime. That said, if they are used singularly they will probably not meet people's expectations.

The Professional Bodybuilding Physique

Fascination with Extremes

I recently read an engaging article on "The Fitness Black Book" website where the author expressed his great surprise that so many people still watch bodybuilding contests. He had assumed our fascination with hugely-muscled physiques would fizzle when the string of popular Arnold Schwarzenegger movies came to a close in the early 90's. He contrasts the hulking image of an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner with the lean look of a Calvin Klein Obsession model and claims the slim fashion model sports a much better physique. He doesn't understand why people find such massively over-muscled bodies attractive. He also finds some of the highly-muscled women bodybuilders a little scary...

Before we react let's take a breath and remember that too much muscle remains a lot harder to achieve than too little. We cannot become hugely over-muscled by simple lethargy or neglect so it represents a far smaller risk of becoming a problem for us than getting too fat.

Too Much of a Good Thing

He makes some good points about too much muscle and a life that revolves completely around bodybuilding and eating 8 times a day. I have to admit the overdeveloped traps pictured on Mr. Olympia look like large tumors growing out of his neck that might somehow be dangerous. And while I admire well-toned women, there's comes a point of muscular development where female bodybuilders cross the line from looking like women to looking like men. I find this a big turn-off. One of my favorite things about women is that they look like women! Just my personal taste I know...

Overboard in the Other Direction?

Are we going overboard, however, in the direction of lean? How much leanness can we achieve before becoming too thin? I don't believe most of us find "skinny" bodies attractive nor the picture of perfect health. We talk about "lean muscle". What the heck do we mean by that? Do we oppose this to fat muscle? Maybe we intend to contrast lean muscle with bulky or large muscle. Still, as much work as huge muscles take to achieve, have we become as obsessive about our aversion to too much muscle as we have about our fear of fat? Where do we find an ideal bodybuilding guide?

Not Enough of a Good Thing

I like muscle tone and the shapely lines that come with meat on the bones. I had a friend and colleague who had a great butt. Though she was never my girlfriend I still enjoyed looking at her rear end with its great, seductive curves. She had thick, shapely thighs and looked athletic and sexy as hell. Then she started working with a training coach and started on a low-fat diet. She lost her great behind and became just plain skinny. She trained hard, added some muscle and got "very lean" -- but she had lost all her beautiful curves! This is nuts in the other direction. This is too darn "lean". I'll take shapely curves over straight thin lines any day. From then on, every time I looked at her I mused about how good she used to look. Who wrote her bodybuilding guide?

The Middle Path

Most of us don't find excessive bulk attractive or healthy. Too much fat rarely rates high on the attractive or healthy scale. Not enough meat on the bones (too darn skinny) does not strike most of as attractive or healthy either. Obsessing about not eating enough becomes as imbalanced as obsessing about eating too much.

On one end we find the professional bodybuilder who looks like an over-muscled freak and at the other extreme we encounter the professional fashion model who has perfected that sleek, skin and bones look. Do our language and attitude reflect our search for a happy medium? Where are we heading? I know I'm not alone in appreciating shapely curves and the graceful swell of toned muscles.

Women Bodybuilding Through the Years

While not having the history of the male bodybuilding world since it only began in the late 1970's, women's bodybuilding has quickly become a highly competitive sport consisting of several kinds of competitions. The newest craze in body building is being judged on muscular tone and symmetry instead of size. Women who wish to avoid building muscle mass and vascularity excessively can avoid the extremes of bodybuilding, and instead compete in figure bodybuilding. Similar to a pageant setup, the competition is evaluated from all angles, over a few different rounds, which depends on the company.

While women have been competing since the 70's, only recently did it evolve into figure bodybuilding. Judges who do figure bodybuilding contests look at the contestant's gracefulness, poise and confidence, among other things, as well as presentation, style, skin, and symmetry. These extremely buff female contestants are placed in different groups by height without regard to age, other than the adult age requirement. Well-defined muscles without ripples or striations alone will get the attention of the Judges. Contestants will be identified by numbers they wear that help the judges to know who they are, and will usually be dressed in colorful, elaborately decorated two piece bathing suits called pose suits.

There are a number of organizations that sponsor annual events to serve the bodybuilding community. Figure International and Figure Olympia are the most renown of these organizations, each certified by the IFBB; they are considered specialized level events. While other organizations hold figure bodybuilding competitions, the rules vary from region to region. Those who are already in the bodybuilding sport circuits and those who are interested in muscle physique know very well know about the sport. However, there is no mainstream coverage of the various competitions and events beyond that level. Bodybuilding competitions and other fitness events are on a couple of mainstream sports networks. I don't know you guys - but I simply love female bodybuilding!

For women who want to enter the competitive world of figure bodybuilding, the lack of prize money and difficulty in finding sponsors can present major obstacles to making a living from the sport. There are a lot of regular professional workers that started working out daily and got into competition. Many women hesitate to become bodybuilders due to society's pressure to conform to traditional standards of femininity. Females have more muscle than women, which makes them look more masculine.

As for me - Bodybuilding the natural way is what I endorse. Being fit and wanting to look good are important, and can help increase your confidence.

Un bref historique de l'image de culturisme

Would You Consider Bodybuilding to Be Fine Art?

Bodybuilding isn't all just weights and whey protein. Plenty of people would agree that bodybuilding can actually be described as an art form. Those who take bodybuilding serious will tell you there is nothing more impressive.

The human body is quite a remarkable structure. This statement is difficult to argue with given the complexities of everything our body contains and is capable of. It has also been said that it is one of the most difficult structures to modify and shape to your will. This is why many would argue that bodybuilding is a form of sculpture.

It is a lot easier to take a brush to a canvas and create a piece of art over a space of days. In contrast bodybuilding requires a huge effort and upmost dedication over months and years. The process is happening 24 hours a day. It is one of the most admired forms of art possible: human accomplishment.

Incredible attention must be paid to every detail in the sculpted body. When competing bodybuilders must be as close as possible to what is deemed perfect. Each part of the body must be in perfect proportion; calves to quads and upwards. The waist should be so small that it practically vanishes with just the right twist. The abdominals need to be separated by an exact amount. Too far apart and you will marked down, if the separation isn't enough you are carrying too much water weight. Back muscles should have such great definition that they can be seen from all angles. The chest needs to be massive, but also totally toned as should the shoulders be.

When achieving these standards the competitive bodybuilder also needs to compete against their peers. They need to have something more than the others. They must further refine their work to stand out, as a sculptor does with a chisel, they do in the gym. They achieve this by using bodybuilding supplements.

The work of a bodybuilder is not skin deep, the vascular structure must also be perfect. These make the sculpture look alive and show the blood coursing through each part of the body. This demonstrates to everyone just how much work and sacrifice has gone in to defining your body to such an extent.

The final level, and one of the highest degrees of accomplishment in bodybuilding is striations. Lines within the muscles, these striations are the highest form of definition humanly possible.

To work so slavishly in search of a goal can only be seen as true artistry. This is a work of devotion and a labor of love. To be able to modify the human form in this way is incredible.

Do you think bodybuilding is all about weights, whey protein and other bodybuilding supplements? I believe it to be more a form of art.

What to Know About a Bodybuilding Diet

So what is the difference between a diet and a bodybuilding diet?

Well a regular diet is just aimed at starving yourself enough that your body eats up your fat, while on the other hand a bodybuilding diet is regulating the food you eat.meaning what you eat, how much you eat, and how much of WHAT you eat.

In reality a diet in the bodybuilding world is much more efficient for those serious about bodybuilding or for those who are just looking to get fit? Why? Well it doesn't involve starving yourself,which is very unhealthy for your body, and it's based upon burning calories to burn fat not starving yourself. Meaning it's more efficient,and it's much healthier.

So let's dive into a bodybuilding diet.

Protein!

Protein is a bodybuilder's life blood. You won't grow without them it's that simple. So in a muscle gaining diet the most crucial ingredient is protein. In a healthy proper diet if one is aiming to gain muscle or loose muscle 1 gram of protein per pound of muscle is what is usually consumed. This makes sure your muscle receives all that it needs to grow bigger or maintain this current weight.

Carbohydrates

It is very crucial to get this part right. When it comes to carbs you want to always aim for complex carbohydrates not simple ones. Unless its after your workout. To which it's better to consume a simple or fast carbs. But when eating meals in a muscle gaining diet one should always aim for complex carbohydrates. How much carbohydrates depends on wither you are trying to gain weight or loose weight. If one is aiming to cut down its best to cut down on carbs while maintain the same protein level. Doing so will help him loss weight efficiently,meaning loosing fat without muscle

Fat

In a bodybuilding diet this is the enemy and should be avoided.but still it has its place. Healthy fats such as fish oil, or nuts, or olive oil are advised in moderation. Such healthy fats are extremely beneficial and are consumed by athletes following a bodybuilding diet. Otherwise fats from sugars and junk food should be avoided completely.

So that's what a bodybuilding diet looks like.as you can see it's much more flexible and much more effective at burning fat.

the best weight loss solution is a bodybuilding diet. what is a bodybuilding diet? find out by reading this short article about how bodybuilding can give you a fantastic looking body at a much healthier pace.
