    success and fertility. Since ancient times, human beings were highly engrossed in

    developing their physical structure. Their intent was to attract the opposite se as

    well as be useful in several functions of daily living. Today, the activity is more

    commonly referred to as body building. The world has embraced it since its date

    of origin.

    The single person who could be accredited with initially promoting modern day

    body building would be (ugen Sandow, from )russia *&ermany+. He is now

    referred to as the father of odern Body Building.

    Sandow was the first person who pioneered the sport of displaying well-defined

    physiques solely, since strongmen at the time were more concerned about

    showing feats of strength through wrestling matches, lifting meets and strength

    demonstrations. loren /iegfield served as Sandow0s manager, who put on stage

    shows whenere the first body builder displayed his body in carnivals and other

    events.

    equipment included tension bands, machined dumbbells and spring pulleys.

    Sandow followed the &recian 2deal where he built his physique relative to the

    ideals of the ancient &ree's and 3omans.

    Sandow arranged the very first body building contest on September !4, !$#! in

    the royal Albert Hall, 5ondon, 67 and named it the &reat 1ompetition. The winner

    was 8illiam 5. urray, who was presented with a bron e statue of (ugen Sandow

    There are % unique body types namely ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph.

    (ach 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

    bodybuilding since their bodies have the ability to lose fat and gain muscle

    quic'ly. a@ority of professional body builders are mesomorphs and have the

    genetic capacity to develop easily.

    (ndomorphs should focus more on their diets and adding lots of cardiovascular

    wor' to shed off the fat and maintain a lean condition. (ctomorphs should add

    more calories and protein to their meals to gain more muscle. They should watch

    their calorie e penditure to avoid losing hard-earned muscle. esomorphs usually

    have a lean and muscular physique and do not need to concentrate on e ercise

    and diet as much as the other two types do.

    The Right !"ui#ment

    8hat is the 3ight (quipmentE

    Since the dawn of body building @ust over a hundred years ago, several types of

    fitness equipment have been created and developed by manufacturers around the

    world. 8ith so many available, it is hard to determine which one will produce the

    best results for your body. ( pert advice may vary depending on your health and

    body building goals and current level of development.

    There are several cardiovascular machines available that offer different benefits.

    There are actually various ob@ectives for doing cardio. The most common would

    be burning off e tra calories by staying on the machine for around %# to G#

    minutes per session.

    There are intense cardio e ercises that require more strength and power, with the

    aim to boost metabolism. Therefore, the benefits of shedding fat can occur while

    doing the e ercise by losing the e tra calories, as well as after when the body

    automatically burns off fat through effective metabolism and muscle growth.

    Treadmills are the most basic. The advantage of a treadmill is that it allows you to

    move at your own pace naturally. Cou do not have to follow a typical plane or fi

    your feet on pads for repetitive movements. Studies show that doing alternate

    intensities and the natural movement of your body on a treadmill tends to burn

    more fat and calories compared to other machines.

    3owing machines are another type of equipment that offer calorie-burn. Although

    the total may not be as much as a treadmill, you get the added benefit of

    developing and toning muscles in your legs, arms, deltoids and bac'. uscle

    weights on an e tension. Cou may easily ad@ust the weight accordingly.

    ree weight items include barbells, dumbbells, round weights or plates, benches

    and power rac's. These are referred to as heavy duty accessories. These are ideal

    for home gyms with limited space, beginners and strength trainers. )ortable

    equipment include smaller items which may be part of a bigger assembly such as

    dumbbells, steps, mats, boards, wor'out benches and stability balls. The

    equipment can easily be moved from one place to another.

    results. Cou may not be able to do everything that a commercial gym offers, but

    there are several alternate movements that hit or isolate the same muscle

    quality mass, strength and definition. The phases are usually divided over %, G or

    !F months depending on each individuals goals. The first phase generally focuses

    on strength, the second on building muscle mass and the third on losing fat and

    achieving definition or cuts. 9ther body builders use only F phases namely the

    bul'ing and cutting phase.

    The nutritional needs for each phase differs. ?uring the bul'ing, mass building or

    carbohydrates as possible to build quality muscle.

    ood choices during these initial stages usually include a lot of red meat, chic'en

    breast, oats, rice and supplements to reach the prescribed calorie count. As for

    macronutrients, body builders meals should comprise of !=-F=K protein, !=-F=K

    fat and =#-G#K carbohydrates.

    Tips from the )ros

    5earn how to cycle calories and carbohydrates for faster fat loss. There is a

    hormone called leptin which signals the body to start hoarding fat once it goes

    into suboptimal levels. 5eptin usually drops when you start to lower your caloric

    and carbohydrate inta'e when moving from the bul'ing into the cutting phase.

    1ycling calories and carbohydrates will maintain normal leptin levels, thus

    allowing your body to get rid of fat more readily. 8hen dropping calories or

    carbohydrates, it is recommended that you reduce only about F## to %## calories

    at most from your base caloric inta'e. Cou may increase the calories slightly by

    !=# to F=# on certain days to maintain the cycle.

    Attain your macronutrient requirements from whole foods li'e lean meat cuts,

    chic'en breasts, tur'ey, s'im mil', soy and nuts. ever starve yourself when

    attempting to lose weight since your leptin level can drop leading to muscle

    cannibalism and fat hoarding.

    ?rin' plenty of water to replace lost fluid. 1ontrol your inta'e of sugars and

    sweets but reward yourself occasionally with moderate treats to prevent craving

    and hunger pangs. A recommendation is to not to eat any carbohydrates during

    your last meal or before going to bed to prevent fat storage. 5imit inta'e of

    caffeinated products that can lead to dehydration.

    The main idea behind body building contests is that whoever has the most

    strengths and least wea'nesses, or whoever presents a well-rounded muscular

    physique and e cellent symmetry at the same time wins. There are : mandatory

    poses that display all the muscle groups wherein contestants will be @udged.

    1riteria for @udging usually include muscle separation, conditioning, muscle mass,

    presentation or how well the athlete poses and, at times, audience impact.

    Some of the events include special performances which require a lot of charisma

    and style. Body building is a sport highly involved in other social affairs as well.

    8inners or champions are usually invited to be spo'espeople for programs or

    products.

    Top pros earn a lot of money from shows, e hibitions, guest posing and product

    endorsements. 2n contests, the top G contestants can earn anywhere from L=,###

    to LF=#,### a show depending on their placing and sponsors. Additional pri es
