               In               the               last               century,               the               sport               of               bodybuilding               has               had               a               strong               impact
               upon               entertainment,               sports,               and               the               medical               community.

Such               pop               culture               icons               as               Arnold               Schwarzenegger               and               Lou               Ferrigno               have               transformed               the               sport               into               what               it               is               today.

At               the               same               time,               the               sport               has               catapulted               these               and               others               who               have               followed               into               the               media               and               entertainment               world               spotlight.

Bodybuilding               has               given               new               ideas               as               to               what               a               healthy               body               and               a               healthy               state               of               mind               consists               of.

The               sport               of               bodybuilding               has               ignited               medical               research               of               all               kinds               relating               to               body               mechanics,               nutrition,               and               supplementation.

Nutrition,               in               addition               to               supplements,               is               essential               to               bodybuilding.
               Bodybuilding               has               not               been               around               forever.

The               Greek               culture               was               the               first               culture               to               idolize               the               idea               of               an               aesthetically               beautiful,               strong,               muscular               physique               capable               of               great               feats               (Schwarzenegger               3).

These               ideals               resurfaced               at               the               end               of               the               nineteenth               century               as               the               people               of               the               era               began               to               show               new               interest               in               weightlifting               and               the               celebration               of               the               human               body               (Schwarzenegger               3).

This               was,               in               part,               due               to               health               problems               which               created               a               desire               to               eat               a               balanced               diet               and               develop               the               human               body,               and               also               because               Europe               and               America               had               a               fascination               with               strongmen               and               the               feats               they               performed               as               entertainment               (Schwarzenegger               3).
               The               American               ideas               took               a               different               direction               than               the               Europeans               however.

Americans               sought               after               aesthetics               as               well               as               power,               while               the               Europeans               were               more               interested               in               what               feats               he               could               perform               rather               than               what               he               looked               like               (Schwarzenegger               4).

The               American               fascination               with               aesthetics               drew               Eugene               Sandow               to               the               United               States.

Eugene               Sandow               was               a               man               who               had               made               his               reputation               in               Europe               as               a               professional               strongman               (Schwarzenegger               4).

Upon               coming               to               America,               Sandow               was               dubbed               by               his               promoter               as               the               "World's               Strongest               Man"               (Schwarzenegger               4).

Sandow               toured               America               doing               stunts               and               performing               strongman               feats               (Schwarzenegger               4).

It               was               the               aesthetical               quality               of               Sandow's               physique               which               captivated               audiences               across               America.

Contests               were               held               and               the               physical               measurements               of               the               competitors               were               compared               (Schwarzenegger               5).

Sandow               would               then               award               the               winner               with               a               gold               plated               statue               of               himself               (Schwarzenegger               5).

As               time               went               on,               many               other               strongmen               with               aesthetical               qualities               followed               in               the               footsteps               of               Eugene               Sandow               and               created               contests               where               strength               and               other               aesthetical               qualities               were               compared               (Schwarzenegger               11-17).
               It               had               become               more               and               more               evident               by               the               1920s               and1930s               that               health               and               the               development               of               the               body               were               connected               very               closely               (Schwarzenegger               11).

From               these               ascertainments,               many               realized               that               the               best               way               to               produce               the               largest               degree               of               muscular               development               was               through               weight               training               (Schwarzenegger               11).

Between               1930               and               1960,               bodybuilding               as               a               sport               took               on               great               advancement               as               people               such               as               John               Grimeck,               Reg               Park,               and               Clancy               Ross               began               to               dominate               the               sport               (Schwarzenegger               11-20).

They               did               this               with               qualities               and               attributes               unseen               in               their               time               with               huge               backs               and               chests               as               well               as               superbly               developed               abdominals               and               calves.

During               this               span               of               forty               years,               several               agencies               were               formed               to               conduct               the               contests               that               were               taking               place.

Among               the               most               notable               being               the               Amateur               Athletic               Union,               the               National               Amateur               Body               Builders               Association,               and               the               International               Federation               of               Bodybuilders               (IFBB)(Schwarzenegger               12-24).

The               1970s               were               great               years               for               the               IFBB.

It               became               the               dominant               bodybuilding               organization               under               the               leadership               of               its               president,               Ben               Weider               (Schwarzenegger               33).

The               IFBB               then               consisted               of               over               100               member               countries               and               had               become               the               sixth               largest               sports               federation               in               the               world               (Schwarzenegger               33).

The               Mr.

Olympia               title               given               by               the               IFBB               became               the               top               professional               championship               in               bodybuilding,               giving               the               winner               a               gold               plated               Eugene               Sandow               (Schwarzenegger               33).

The               IFBB               remains               the               largest               bodybuilding               federation               in               the               world               today               and               the               promoter               of               the               highest               competition               in               the               sport               of               bodybuilding.


               Bodybuilding               training               is               a               science               which               focuses               on               even               the               most               miniscule               detail               of               technique               to               ensure               the               maximum               yield               from               a               certain               exercise               movement.

Most               bodybuilders               follow               a               precise               workout               regimen               determined               by               the               type               of               look               that               they               desire               their               bodies               to               mirror.

The               regimen               they               follow               is               usually               backed               by               repeated               scientific               studies               which               explain               the               correct               way               to               achieve               the               look               they               desire.
               The               most               common               practice               among               bodybuilders,               in               regards               to               the               frequency               at               which               they               train               certain               muscle               groups,               is               to               train               each               group               once               or               twice               a               week               (Schwarzenegger               147).

This               is               because               the               general               consensus               is               that               any               more               would               just               be               overtraining               (Schwarzenegger               147).

Those               bodybuilders               who               train               each               body               part               twice               a               week               usually               allow               two               days               for               a               muscle               group               to               heal               (Schwarzenegger               147).

For               instance,               if               a               bodybuilder               trained               arms               on               Tuesday,               he               would               wait               until               Friday               before               he               trained               them               again.

Overtraining               is               a               big               problem               in               the               gym               because               many               times               the               symptoms               are               very               subtle               and               go               unnoticed.
               Apart               from               overtraining,               there               are               only               a               couple               of               other               things               which               would               halt               a               person's               progress               in               the               gym.

One               thing               that               will               halt               the               progress               of               a               bodybuilder               is               lack               of               healing               sleep.

Because               of               the               huge               amounts               of               energy               expelled               and               the               amount               of               damage               to               the               muscle               tissue               caused               by               heavy               weight               training,               a               bodybuilder               requires               at               least               seven               to               nine               hours               of               uninterrupted               sleep               a               night               for               proper               healing               to               take               place               (Wolff               52).

Mainstream               bodybuilders               state               that               a               person               should               wait               only               one               or               two               minutes               between               sets               (Schwarzenegger               148).

The               reason               for               this               is               that               as               a               person               does               a               set,               their               blood               vessels               dilate               so               that               more               blood               can               enter               the               muscle               and               carry               more               oxygen               and               other               nutrients               into               the               muscle.

This               starts               the               healing               process               as               well               as               supplying               the               energy               that               is               needed               at               the               moment.

As               a               person               rests               between               sets,               the               muscle,               which               has               become               engorged               with               blood,               slowly               drains               the               blood               which               has               filled               it.

If               the               person               waits               too               long,               the               muscle               will               empty               most               of               the               blood               back               into               the               circulatory               system.

In               order               to               build               muscle,               the               muscle               must               tear.

This               is               what               weight               training               does.

As               the               muscle               fills               with               blood,               the               tears               in               the               muscle               fibers               increase.

Since               a               bodybuilder               waits               only               one               or               two               minutes               between               sets,               the               blood               has               not               completely               drained               out               of               the               muscle.

When               a               muscle               still               contains               blood               from               the               prior               set               and               the               bodybuilder               forces               more               blood               into               the               muscle,               it               creates               an               increase               in               the               tears.

These               tears               are               what               need               to               heal               while               the               bodybuilder               is               resting               that               particular               body               part.

This               time               is               when               sleep,               nutrition,               and               any               supplements               the               person               is               taking               become               crucial.

During               the               time               of               muscle               recovery,               the               muscle               fills               in               the               tears               that               have               been               created               by               thickening               and               enlarging               the               muscle               fibers               that               were               already               there.

The               next               time               a               bodybuilder               enters               the               gym               to               work               that               particular               muscle,               they               must               alter               the               routine.

This               is               done               either               by               altering               the               amount               of               weight               used               or               by               altering               the               types               of               exercises               done               to               hit               the               muscle               from               a               different               angle               (Wolff               110).

The               same               thing               which               caused               damage               to               the               muscle               the               first               time               cannot               be               used               over               and               over               because               each               time               the               muscle               recovers,               it               has               more               density,               is               stronger,               and               is               better               prepared               to               handle               the               heavy               weight               put               on               it               during               the               prior               workout.

This               is               the               muscle               adapting               in               order               to               protect               itself.

In               order               to               adapt,               however,               there               are               key               nutrients               a               bodybuilder               must               utilize               for               optimal               growth.
               There               is               a               complex               science               to               the               way               bodybuilders               eat.

The               nutritional               requirements               for               a               bodybuilder               are               a               lot               different               than               the               requirements               for               an               average               person.

Energy               in               the               body               is               produced               by               the               breaking               of               a               chemical               bond               in               adenosine-triphosphate               (Bean               5).

This               is               produced               in               every               cell               of               the               body               resulting               from               the               breakdown               of               fats,               carbohydrates,               and               proteins               (Bean               5).

Due               to               the               greater               amount               of               energy               expended               by               bodybuilders,               they               require               much               greater               amounts               of               protein,               carbohydrates,               and               fats               than               normal               people.
               A               protein               is               made               up               of               smaller               units               called               amino               acids               (Bean               51).

These               amino               acids               are               what               the               body               actually               needs.

They               are               the               building               blocks               in               skeletal               muscle,               tendons,               skin,               hair,               and               nails               (Bean               50).

"About               three-quarters               of               the               dry               weight               of               human               muscle               is               protein"               (Bean               50).

Protein               is               absolutely               essential               for               the               growth               of               new               muscle,               as               well               as               repairing               damaged               muscle               tissue.

Catabolism               is               the               breakdown               of               proteins               in               the               cells               of               the               body               (Bean               50).

Anabolism               is               the               building               up               of               proteins               in               the               cells               of               the               body               (Bean               50).

These               processes               are               continually               taking               place               in               the               body               of               a               sedentary               individual,               but               more               so               in               an               active               one.

There               is               an               overall               loss               in               protein               every               day.

An               individual               who               is               active               requires               more               protein               than               one               who               is               not.

This               is               the               reason               that               bodybuilders               require               so               much               protein               to               ensure               optimal               growth.

A               bodybuilder               requires               between               1.4               to               1.7               g               of               protein               per               pound               of               body               weight               (Bean               52).

This               means               that               if               an               individual               weighs               200               lbs.

and               needs               1.4               grams               of               protein               multiplied               by               his               body               weight,               that               person               would               require               280               grams               of               protein               daily.

Since               such               great               amounts               of               protein               are               somewhat               difficult               to               eat,               many               bodybuilders               have               meal               replacement               shakes               which               can               consist               of               20-60               grams               of               protein               (Ironman               4).
               Carbohydrates               are               the               best               substance               for               energy               when               considering               a               choice               between               fat,               carbohydrates,               or               protein.

Carbohydrates               are               stored               in               the               blood               and               liver               as               a               substance               called               glycogen               (Bean               8).

Glycogen               levels               must               be               kept               high               to               ensure               that               a               bodybuilder               does               not               tire               during               exercise               (Bean               9).

Carbohydrates               are               also               the               source               of               the               energy               the               body               uses               to               use               the               protein               in               muscle               regeneration.

Carbohydrate               levels               for               a               bodybuilder               trying               to               bulk               up               must               be               at               least               2-3               grams               per               pound               of               body               weight               (Bean               35).

This               means               a               200               lb.

man               needs               600               grams               of               carbohydrates               daily               to               ensure               optimal               muscle               growth.

During               pre-contest               and               contest               training,               a               bodybuilder               would               diet               and               lower               his               carbohydrate               intake               to               one               and               a               half               grams               per               pound               daily.
               As               protein               and               carbohydrate               requirements               are               heightened               for               bodybuilders,               so               too               are               the               calories.

Most               diets               are               based               on               an               intake               of               two               thousand               calories               per               day,               whereas               a               bodybuilder               should               consume               three               thousand               to               over               four               thousand               calories               daily               to               ensure               optimal               growth               (Ironman               110).

Fats               in               the               diet               are               also               very               important               for               hormone               production               and               to               protect               organs               (Ironman               108).

However,               most               bodybuilders               keep               fats               to               a               minimum,               making               them               only               fifteen               to               twenty               percent               of               their               daily               intake               of               food               (Ironman               108).
               Supplementation               is               rampant               in               the               sport               of               bodybuilding.

It               is               not               bad               to               supplement               nutrition               with               a               sound,               healthy               group               of               supplements.

The               quantities               should               not               be               too               high,               nor               should               they               have               adverse               effects               on               the               body               or               mind.

Supplementation               takes               on               many               forms.

Some               supplements               are               applied               like               lotion,               some               are               injectable,               and               others               are               in               pill               or               liquid               form.

Dr.

Michael               Colgan,               founder               of               the               Colgan               Institute               and               senior               member               of               the               Science               Faculty               at               the               University               of               Auckland,               says,               "For               top               performance,               food               is               first               (Ironman               1)."               There               are               some               cases,               however,               when               the               body               does               not               get               all               that               is               needed               to               ensure               optimal               growth.

There               are               many               reasons               athletes               should               take               supplements.

One               reason               is               that               of               all               people,               athletes               can               least               afford               to               have               nutritional               deficiencies.

"Athletes               have               a               higher               demand               for               various               nutrients               than               sedentary               people               do"               (Ironman               205).

The               modern               diet               cannot               guarantee               that               a               person               is               getting               the               all               the               nutrients               needed               in               the               right               amounts.

Many               important               substances               are               simply               not               part               of               a               normal               diet.

"Certain               nutrients               are               best               absorbed               in               supplement               form"               (Ironman               208).

"Supplementation               is               a               way               for               a               person               to               fine-tune               the               nutrition               for               a               particular               sport               or               activity"               (Ironman               206).

It               "is               a               way               to               get               large               amounts               of               a               nutrient"               without               eating               a               lot               of               food,               and               thereby               a               lot               of               calories,               to               get               it               (Ironman               208).

"It               also               gives               a               person               a               nutritional               safety               margin               when               on               a               weight               loss               diet"               (Ironman               208).

"Supplementation               is               an               athlete's               psychological               and               physiological               insurance               policy               regarding               nutrition"               (Ironman               210).

Lastly,               "supplementation               enables               an               athlete               to               perform               better"               (Ironman               210).
               The               most               basic               supplement               is               a               daily               multivitamin.

This               essential               supplement               ensures               that               a               bodybuilder               is               getting               the               wide               array               of               nutrients               that               he               needs               at               an               inexpensive               cost               (Ironman               9).

A               multivitamin               is               necessary               even               for               sedentary               people               to               ensure               that               they               are               getting               all               the               nutrients               that               the               human               body               needs               daily.
               Another               supplement               used               quite               extensively               by               bodybuilders               is               creatine.

"Creatine               enhances               activities               where               short               bursts               of               energy               are               needed,               such               as               weightlifting               and               sprinting"               (Ironman               18).

"In               some               studies,               creatine               has               been               shown               to               help               a               lifter               train               longer               and               harder"               (Ironman               18).

Although               there               are               benefits               to               taking               creatine,               there               are               many               people               that               it               has               no               effect               on               (Ironman               18).

Another               problem               with               creatine               is               the               fact               that               many               companies               have               tried               to               alter               the               delivery               system               of               creatine               by               altering               how               it               is               absorbed               into               the               body.

For               this               reason,               there               are               many               brands               that               are               not               worthwhile               to               take.


               A               supplement               that               has               come               on               the               market               recently               is               Acetyl               L-carnitine               (ALC).

It               is               the               amino               acid               L-carnitine               in               an               acetylated               form,               which               causes               it               to               pass               through               the               blood-brain               barrier               much               easier               (Ironman               81).

According               to               Dr.

Michael               Colgan,               ALC               has               great               effects               relating               to               testosterone               and               cortisol               (Ironman               81).

It               raises               the               levels               of               testosterone               in               a               bodybuilder's               body               while               lowering               the               cortisol               levels               (Ironman               81-82).

Testosterone               is               very               anabolic,               while               cortisol               is               very               catabolic               (Ironman               81-82).
               There               are               many               other               supplements               on               the               market,               some               to               burn               fat,               some               to               boost               strength               and               mass,               and               others               which               are               used               simply               to               constantly               create               an               anabolic               synergy               in               the               body.

However               useful               these               supplements               are,               bodybuilders               who               use               them               must               research               exactly               what               these               substances               can               do               because               they               are               not               regulated               by               the               Food               and               Drug               Administration.

One               terrible               aspect               of               taking               supplements               is               that               a               bodybuilder               could               get               addicted               to               some               of               the               supplements               that               he               is               taking.

"Addiction               is               the               process               of               compulsive,               uncontrollable               use               of               a               drug,               despite               negative               consequences"               (Kuhn               46).
               Athletes               who               desire               to               be               the               best               must               realize               how               essential               nutrition               is               to               the               building               of               muscle               and               a               healthy               life.

They               must               know               all               the               facts               about               sleep,               diet,               and               supplementation               in               order               for               them               to               make               the               best               choices.

They               will               need               to               know               all               the               information               in               order               for               them               to               be               the               best.
