Body Building Arnold Schwarzenegger
Body building and fitness
Who Becomes a Body Builder, despite being over a hundred years old, body building has become very popular in the modern world. A majority of people around the world have tried body building at some point in their lives. Some for health,vitality and/or aesthetic purposes. Gym rats may not be aware that there are different types of body builders. Not everyone can achieve the same heights as others.
Pros and Cons,there are 4 known types of body building. These are categorized according to the goal, gender and age of the individuals. There is professional body building, natural body building, female body building and teenage bodybuilding.
Professional body building involves individuals who aspire to qualify, compete and win competitions. Contestants begin by joining amateur competitions first, wherein they earn points and qualifications to join major and professional contests.
The IFBB or International Federation of Bodybuilding is the premier organization for professional body builders worldwide. Amateurs who win major and official contests get the chance to win their IFBB pro card. Once a body builder turns pro, he or she will not be allowed to enter amateur contests. They are, however, welcome for guest posing.
Professional body builders are usually criticized for taking illegal/banned substances to achieve physiques that are impossible to achieve naturally. Body building shows are then classified according to natural and open competitions. Drug testing is always done in natural competitions to ensure that all people involved square off fairly.
Natural body building involves developing a well-formed body structure without the aid of illegal drugs, steroids and the like. There are organizations that cater to natural body builders as well such as the NPA or Natural Physique Association. Intake of muscle-building supplements and other natural body building products not banned by the agencies are allowed. It is possible for a former drug user to compete in natural contests, provided that the minimum period of clean time has been achieved.
Women and the Youth, women used to focus more on fitness until the 1970s. It was during the time of Arnold Schwarzenegger when females started to indulge in hardcore fitness or body building. Females compete in separate contests from the men’s since their bodies develop differently. There are natural and professional contests, like the Ms. Olympia which started in 1980.
Teenagers join unique body building shows and contests relative to their age bracket, since their bodies develop differently from mature individuals. It is uncommon to find 13-year olds competing. Most shows, however, provide drug testing to protect the youth from using drugs to get bigger. Teenagers are encouraged to use the natural hormone surge in their bodies to gain muscle. Some of the genetic wonders of bodybuilding actually started as natural teenage sensations.
The Body Types, there are 3 unique body types namely ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph. Each type can compete in body building shows. The training, diet and rest regimen of each type vary since bodies develop uniquely from each other. There are variations or combinations of the types as well, such as mesomorphs with either endomorphic or ectomorphic tendencies. Physiques will vary in appearance depending on the body type.
Ectomorphs can be described as individuals who have the tendency to lose muscle and fat quickly. These people have difficulty gaining weight and are usually thin-boned. Endomorphs have the opposite problem of gaining weight and fat easily, and having trouble getting rid of the extra.
These individuals are usually thick-boned. Mesomorphs are the most ideal for bodybuilding since their bodies have the ability to lose fat and gain muscle quickly. Majority of professional body builders are mesomorphs and have the genetic capacity to develop easily.
Endomorphs should focus more on their diets and adding lots of cardiovascular work to shed off the fat and maintain a lean condition. Ectomorphs should add more calories and protein to their meals to gain more muscle. They should watch their calorie expenditure to avoid losing hard-earned muscle. Mesomorphs usually have a lean and muscular physique and do not need to concentrate on exercise and diet as much as the other two types do.
