There comes a point in a person’s training journey when noticeable changes in body and fitness level cause them to think about something bigger. Bodybuilding is, of course, that something bigger. Maybe you’ve thought about getting into bodybuilding after witnessing the huge muscles in your online instructor’s videos. Perhaps you’ve done some research into what it would take to become one of those faintly superhuman-appearing folks you admire. Often, our enthusiasm in bodybuilding ends here because it is intimidating, and who wants to live on chicken breasts and protein shakes? But what if we told you that bodybuilding is absolutely doable? That you, too, can become a powerhouse with the correct background, training, and nutrition (other than chicken breasts and protein shakes)? It may not be the easiest undertaking to begin, but the good news is that bodybuilding may be far less intimidating than you may believe.

Bodybuilding is the act and practice of improving one’s physical form, as the term suggests. It is accomplished through exercise, particularly weightlifting, and muscular growth and/or definition is essential. “Bodybuilding itself is the process of enhancing the body’s muscle and symmetry and the promotion of overall health and fitness,” says Kollath, adding that bodybuilding as a competitive sport is “the pursuit of the ‘ultimate’ physique that is symmetrical from top to bottom. It is the sport of aesthetics.” Being a bodybuilder means you are dedicated to the pursuit of physical perfection. This means that a person who is a bodybuilder is committed to improving their physique and challenging themselves physically. A person who commits to the pursuit of physical perfection will often engage in other health-related activities, such as nutrition counseling and fitness training. A bodybuilder may also increase their knowledge on fitness equipment, bodybuilding supplements, and healthy eating habits. This dedication can make a person much more active concerning their health and well-being. When a person wants or needs to change the way they look, they may engage in bodybuilding. A bodybuilder’s goal is to develop a new physique that is different from their current one. How Does Your Diet Need to Change When Bodybuilding?
