From the very name of bodybuilding, that is, bodybuilding, one can understand that this is a system of physical exercises aimed at developing the entire musculature of the body. And if attention to you on the beach, compliments from friends about your figure are, so to speak, an outward manifestation of the success of your classes, then good health, a balanced state of mind, a clear understanding of goals in life is a real gain that bodybuilding will give you and which will not buy for no money.

In scientific terms, bodybuilding (bodybuilding) is the process of building and developing muscles through physical exercise with weights and high-energy nutrition with an increased content of nutrients, in particular, proteins, sufficient for skeletal muscle hypertrophy.

Barbells and dumbbells are most often used as weights in bodybuilding. A large number of exercises are also performed using additional equipment, such as simulators and resistance bands of different types and designs, which affect different muscle groups.

Professional and amateur tournaments are organized, in which the victory is awarded to the athletes with the best external data. In today's bodybuilding industry, a professional is commonly referred to as a bodybuilder who wins a qualifying event as an amateur and earns a Pro Card from the IFBB. Holders of this card get the right to participate in professional tournaments, for example, such as "Arnold Classic". In turn, the high results shown in such competitions give them the opportunity to participate in the Mr. Olympia competition. The title "Mr. Olympia" is the highest award in the field of professional bodybuilding.

Bodybuilding is popular among both young people and older people. Today, in different countries, competitions are held among various age categories, up to 80 years old. One of the most famous retired bodybuilders is Japanese Tsutomu Tohsaka.

Anyone who wants to make their body worthy of their spirit, who wants to strengthen the cardiovascular system, enrich their skeleton with minerals, and also improve the condition of joints and ligaments, can start doing bodybuilding. But before you start training, we strongly recommend that you undergo a preventive examination with a doctor.
