Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop one's musculature.[1] An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive amateur and professional bodybuilding, bodybuilders appear in lineups doing specified poses, and later perform individual posing routines, for a panel of judges who rank competitors based on criteria such as symmetry, muscularity, and conditioning. Bodybuilders prepare for competition through a combination of dehydration, fat loss, oils, and tanning (or tanning lotions) which make their muscular definition more distinct. Well-known bodybuilders include Charles Atlas, Steve Reeves, Reg Park, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Lou Ferrigno. The winner of the annual Mr. Olympia contest is generally recognized the world's top male bodybuilder. The title is now held by IFBB professional Phil Heath of the United States.

Western weight lifting developed in Europe around 1880 to 1953, with strongmen displaying feats of strength for the public, and challenging each other. The focus was not on the make up of their physique, and these strongmen often had a large stomach and fatty limbs.[2] bodybuilding diet muscle maximizer bodybuilder diet bodybuilding diet plan best way to build muscle muscle gain muscle gain diet best way to gain muscle bodybuilders diet gain muscle bodybuilding routines bodybuilding food fastest way to build muscle muscle workouts diet for building muscle six pack diet to gain muscle diet to build muscle muscle diet fastest way to gain muscle foods to build muscle diet for muscle gain building muscles building muscle diet muscle gain workout fast muscle weight training diet food to build muscle workouts to build muscle muscle gaining diet nutrition bodybuilding build muscle diet muscle build lean muscle diet plan diet for gaining muscle diet plan for building muscle exercises to build muscle get ripped quick diet plan to gain muscle foods to gain muscle gain lean muscle lose fat gain muscle diet muscle gain program meal plan to gain muscle get muscles fast workout to build muscle best foods to build muscle fast muscle gain best diet for building muscle best ways to build muscle muscle gaining workouts diet for lean muscle fat gain quick muscle gain food to gain muscle diet bodybuilding workouts to gain muscle gaining muscle weight workout bodybuilding more muscle best diet to gain muscle grow muscle best foods to eat to gain muscle grow muscle fast muscles building best diet for muscle gain diet plan to build muscle best diet to build muscle best food to build muscle body builder program gain muscle diet muscle training program nutrition for building muscle gain muscle weight six pack bodybuilder workouts bodybuilding workouts for mass muscle gaining get muscle fast quickest way to gain muscle meal plan for building muscle best ways to gain muscle best way to put on muscle lean muscle gain muscle diet plan food that builds muscle muscle fast build muscle quickly best foods to gain muscle bodybuilder nutrition somanabolic weight training bodybuilding routines for mass exercise to build muscle foods for muscle gain build more muscle bodybuilding muscles exercise to gain muscle fast meal plans to gain muscle lean muscle meal plan building muscle workouts six pack
