Does it stem from widespread use of anabolic steroids - resulting in general ignorance among those considered to be experts by mere exhibition of their overdeveloped musculatures?

A large number of bodybuilders are confused regarding the role of aerobic activity, with some feeling that such effort is helpful in controlling body fat levels, while others embracing the concept that cardiovascular activity will in effect either risk muscle mass, or prevent further muscle building. The latter group's concern has forced many weight lifters to abandon aerobic activity during muscle building periods, and even prohibit cardiovascular activity when fat reduction is the main focus, but for many, the question remains as to whether the aerobic activity concern is well founded, or if this notion is rather a part of weight lifting mythology. Most weight lifters realize the positive impact...

Females need to reduce their body fat to 12%. Most bodybuilders and their trainers choose not to look at is as dieting.

Nearly all bodybuilders use the practice of pyramiding when completing their sets in the gym.

They place some weight on the bar, and complete one set. We'll use bench press for this example. After benching 85 pounds for 15 repetitions, they'll realize they can do more.

Finally, as they realize the weight is getting heavy and the repetitions are becoming fewer, they will add a...

Fitness competitions typically consist of a brief swimsuit round where the various competitors sport a two-piece swimsuit to demonstrate their physiques to the judging authorities. They execute a sequence of turns consisting of both quarter-turn and half-turn routines. These diverse routines are presented for both the panel of judges, as well as the audience.
