What is bodybuilding?

Asked a year ago
Bodybuilding is a physical fitness discipline focused on muscle hypertrophy and development through weight training and nutrition. It involves intense workouts targeting specific muscle groups to increase their size, strength, and definition. Bodybuilders follow structured exercise routines implemented in phases, often with heavy weights and low repetition ranges to optimize muscle growth. Additionally, proper nutrition is crucial to supplement the strenuous training and promote muscle recovery and growth. Bodybuilders often adhere to specific macronutrient ratios, consuming high protein to facilitate muscle synthesis and balanced fats and carbohydrates for energy. They may use supplements to enhance performance or aid in muscle recovery. Bodybuilding is not just a competitive sport but also a lifestyle promoting self-discipline, goal-setting, and overall improvement of physique and health.
