Bodybuilding
The practice of using resistance training and nutrition to develop muscle size and aesthetics.
Bodybuilding focuses on developing muscle size, symmetry, and definition through progressive resistance training and precise nutrition. Unlike powerlifting, the goal is aesthetics rather than maximal strength. Bodybuilding training typically uses moderate weights, higher rep ranges, and various techniques to maximize muscle growth.
Examples
- Training for maximum muscle size and symmetry
- Higher volume, moderate intensity approach
- Bodybuilding competitions judged on physique
