Bodybuilding
Bodybuilding is a sport whose goal is to seek by weight, better training muscle. Their dispute is collective or individual presentations of comparison. The requirements are: volume, symmetry, proportion and muscle definition.
The International Federation of Bodybuilding (International Federation of Bodybuilding, IFBB) regulates the bodybuilding world championship, the Mr. Olympia. The biggest winners of the tournament were Lee Haney (eight times), Arnold Schwarzenegger (seven times), Dorian Yates (six times) and Ronnie Coleman (eight times).
Among the main crops are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mike Mentzer, Lou Ferrigno, Lee Haney, Charles Atlas, Lee Priest, Dorian Yates, Jay Cutler and Ronnie Coleman.
However, considered by many the best bodybuilder in history is Arnold Schwarzenegger, for his extreme ingenuity and skill in the field of bodybuilding and weight training, but now the contestants are already at a level above which Arnold had citation needed but he is still remembered for its emphasis on spreading the bodybuilding world.
Strength training is a type of resistance exercise with variable load amplitude, contraction time and speed controllable. Thus can be implemented as isometric (sustained contraction), isotonic (alternating concentric and eccentric contractions), continuous or interval, mild or severe, with features aerobic or anaerobic.
This ability to control so many variables makes bodybuilding a highly versatile physical activity that can be used for different purposes.
To enhance the increase in muscle mass (hypertrophy), bodybuilders focus on three main points:
Proper training with resistance weights and other physical activities;
Nutrition Expert, incorporating proteins and other dietary supplements aimed at the release of hormones to increase protein synthesis;
Rest (rest) suitable for rebuilding muscle.
In the practice of weight training, many athletes end up resorting to the use of anabolic steroids to increase muscle mass in a short time, which may be harmful to health, since these hormones are synthesized, however there is still no scientific evidence of its long-term damage in human body.
However, many athletes, amateur or professional, aware of the evils of the effects of drugs, seek professional nutritionists and endocrinologists to obtain the possible improvements in its results.
Drug use in professional bodybuilding is the level of other sports but the level of competitive amateur athlete if the picture changes, and the sport where drug use is more frequent.
