Bodybuilding is a form of body modification involving intensive muscle hypertrophy; an individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their appearance. The muscles are revealed through a process known as the "cutting phase" - a combination of fat loss, oils, and tanning (or tanning lotions) which combined with lighting make the definition of the muscle group more distinct.

Well-known bodybuilders include Charles Atlas, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marcin Turek and Lou Ferrigno. Currently, three-time winner Jay Cutler holds the title of Mr. Olympia as the world's top bodybuilder.

What the difference between bodybuilding and strength training?
Q. what type of workouts do you do for bodybuilding and same for strength training i think its about the reps and Weight but im not sure
Asked by B-rad - Thu Jun 11 00:22:34 2009 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. They are fairly different, being one's goal is to make it look like you life much weight while the other is to lift much. Their isn't really a workout for both, being you need to be one or the other. Now I do have friends who do that the Strength for 2 months and then Size for 2 month, or even alternate by season. Strength less reps heavier amount, Size more reps less weight.

A. Bodybuilders diet down for a contest so by contest time their fat level is extremely low, and every detail of the muscle shows through the skin. Most pictures in bodybuilding magazines are taken at contests, or shortly after contests when the bodybuilder is in peak condition. People often refer to a bodybuilder who is not dieting for a contest as being "off season." The off season look for bodybuilders varies a great deal. Some gain a lot of weight and look fat.
