How Do You Start Bodybuilding?

By Tony Collins

How do I start bodybuilding? This is the first question that many people ask when they see the bodybuilders on TV or watch the contestants do their routines on stage. It does take more than lifting weights every now and then and cutting down on the high calorie foods in your diet.

It takes time and effort to sculpt your body into a lean machine.

Being a professional bodybuilder is a career. These people spend 5 to 6 hours a day in the gym training. This takes

Bodybuilding Contest Preparation

By Robert A Lockwood

When dieting for a bodybuilding contest or a similar event, one of the hardest issues to get the mind around is the concept of losing body fat. This reduces overall body mass and psychologically this can look like losing size to the untrained eye, when your shirts are not so tight on you anymore and your face starts to look drawn and sunken in - the comments that are received are not always encouraging, like "you have lost a lot of weight" and "are you alright, you look ill." I can remember those words only too well, but I had a very good coach at the time who kept me on the straight and

Bodybuilding and You

By Lantz A Anderson

I usually write informational articles, but today I am feeling a little different. I want to write about motivation or drive what ever you want to call it. I have said it before and I am sure I will say it again. Bodybuilding to me is not all about being the biggest most muscular person in the world. Bodybuilding is about building the body that you desire. Bodybuilding is about pushing ourselves past what is easy.

One of the biggest things that you will notice in anyone that lives this life style is drive, motivation, and determination. The

Dietary Supplements for Bodybuilding

By Homar N Murillo

Finding the Best Bodybuilding Diet Plan

By M Nizam Sualman 
Dieting is not something that a lot of people want to associate themselves with. Eating is fun and it is truly satisfying. Most of the time, people who limit their food intake end up on the unhappy side of things. In an added note, most of the people who do not limit their food intake end up on the unhealthy side of things. The body runs on three basic things namely water, fat, and proteins. Since water makes up most of the human body, there is limited room that is shared by proteins and fats and

Do Men and Women Need Different Bodybuilding Supplements?

Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Bodybuilding Training Tips

By Dane C. Fletcher 

A body building program can be started. It can be maintained and even pursued to the master stages of bodybuilding. It can even lead to platform of professional body building. But it remains an activity to be undertaken in the daily schedules, a struggle to be pushed forth, a pain to be borne and a sacrifice to be continually given, until the bodybuilding is harmonized into a lifestyle. It is only, and only when body building becomes a lifestyle, a way of life, that it really hits the tarmac.

Bodybuilding Versus Real World Fat Loss

By Ben Warstler 
Bodybuilding is a fantastic sport. I mean the competitors are intense and the dedication and discipline they must have to be successful is not easily paralleled in society. Those who participate in bodybuilding have the tenacity, dedication, and time, not to mention the genetic predisposition to be successful.

Do you and I have that ability? I mean do we have 6-8 hours in the day to do nothing but eat and train? Do we have the genetic make up to be successful in this sport (maybe some of us do). Do we have such a strict eating schedule that we can not enjoy a slip up from time to time? In truth that is a body builder world. It is their profession to eat and train, and they spend a lot of time doing it.
Unfortunately for the rest of us, we don't have that luxury. We have
