Also called bodybuilding or bodybuilding and should not be confused with weightlifting or athletics.
HISTORY OF CULTURE
This sport has its first manifestations in rock paintings figures who already used hand weights to perform jumps or exercises in order to increase their strength. These are behaviors directed primarily at the development of force or its size, with the objective of survival as a clear purpose.
His first historical references can be found in Classical Greece where the human body gained a cultural relevance that has reached today. The bodybuilder or athlete muscularly developed can be observed in multiple representations, Hercules, Laoconte, friezes with warriors, etc.

INTRODUCTION
For its practitioners, bodybuilding is a way of life that, by analyzing it under the aspect of maintaining a habit of living based on physical exercise and healthy eating, can be very healthy.
During the years in which bodybuilding spread through Europe and the United States, in the forties and fifties there were a lot of anonymous practitioners, for whom health and well-being were main objectives. Then, with little knowledge of diets or training principles, acquiring large muscle masses was complicated. However, bodybuilding to the extreme can degenerate into psychopathological disorders, important but infrequent, such as musculodismorphism or vigorexia.
Bodybuilding is the process of developing muscle fibers by combining weight lifting, increased caloric intake and rest.
To achieve extraordinary muscular development, bodybuilders must concentrate on three basic lines of action:
Weight lifting against resistance: Weight training causes damage to the muscles. This is known as microtrauma. These minor injuries to the muscle contribute to the tiredness experienced after exercise. The repair of microtraumas is part of muscle growth (hypertrophy). Training routines are usually used for bodybuilding training based on series and repetitions.
A high quality diet incorporating additional proteins: Growth and repair, however, can not happen without proper nutrition. A bodybuilder has higher protein requirements than a sedentary person to repair the damage caused by weight training. In addition to proteins, carbohydrates are very important for the energy supply during training. The proportions usually recommended at nutritional level are:
60% carbohydrate
30% protein
10% fat
A suitable break to facilitate growth. Without proper rest and sleep the body finds no chance to rebuild and repair damaged fibers. It takes at least eight hours of rest for a bodybuilder to be in good condition in the next training session.
COMPETITION
Bodybuilders run poses in front of a jury, which assigns scores and awards titles such as those of Mister Universe or Mister Olympia. Bodybuilding competition is basically divided into two rounds, the first, known as precompetition or semifinals, in which 4 poses of symmetry and 7 compulsory postures of bodybuilding are performed to determine the degree of development, definition, size, symmetry, Proportions, in addition to the aesthetics to settle the scores. The second part receives the name of Final or Competition, are left between 5 and 6 finalists who each have one minute of music to perform a choreography of free poses. After the two rounds, it is possible to offer a total score.
