Bodybuilding’ we all know is the art of developing one’s musculature with an intent of maximizing muscle hypertrophy the best way possible. Where some men employed this to increase their muscle strength, the improvement in the aesthetics of a person’s physique led to this art becoming a world-class popular sport referred to as ‘Professional Bodybuilding’. Today professional body building involves accentuating the muscles through a combination of fat loss and body oils. Application of tanning lotions combined with proper lighting effects further makes the definition of muscle group more distinct. An imperative part of professional bodybuilding is the various competitions and contests that bodybuilders take part in to win various titles.

In the present times, in order to be considered as a professional bodybuilder, one has to qualify a number of professional as well as amateur contests along with earning a ‘Pro Card’ from the IFBB. This helps professionals earn the right to participate in prestigious competitions like the Arnold Classic and Night of Champions. After having making their presence felt at such forums, professionals are then considered eligible to contest for the highest honor in the field of professional bodybuilding known as the Mr. Olympia contest. Some other organizations which also render professional rankings include the NPA (Natural Physique Association) and NANBF (North American Natural Bodybuilding Federation). (more…)

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A new test that provides a breakthrough in detecting human growth hormone in blood is expected to become available soon and make it more difficult for athletes to use HGH without getting caught.

It’s a test some experts consider so good, however, it could blunt the push for the urine-based test sought by some in baseball and football, possibly stalling promising research that has already cost many thousands of dollars.

After you’ve spent the last few months heavily focused on building as much raw muscle mass as possible, there’s a good chance you’re going to want to switch gears and work on stripping off any fat that might have accumulated during the mass building phase.

Regardless of how careful you are with your diet, you are almost always going to gain some fat when adding muscle, it is how much fat that’s the question.
The slower you are willing to build muscle, typically the less fat gain you’ll experience.  Likewise, the leaner you are when you initial start your bulking phase, the greater the proportion of lean mass you’ll add.

Either way, once you’re satisfied with the amount of muscle you have, a cutting phase is definitely a good idea to really bring out that definition and set yourself apart from the crowd.
So, that brings us to the question of what needs to change to ignite fat loss? (more…)

ScienceDaily – Ever notice some people seem to eat anything they want and never gain a pound, while others seem to gain weight just by looking at fattening foods? You may be seeing things correctly after all. According to research published in the July 2010 issue of Genetics, this may have a biological cause. Using fruit flies, researchers have found that genes interacting with diet, rather than diet alone, are the main cause of variation in metabolic traits, such as body weight. This helps explain why some diets work better for some people than others, and suggests that future diets should be tailored to an individual’s genes rather than to physical appearance.

“There is no one-size-fits all solution to the diseases of obesity and type-2 diabetes,” said Laura K. Reed, Ph.D, a researcher from the Department of Genetics at North Carolina State University, the lead investigator in the work. “Each person has a unique set of genetic and environmental factors contributing to his or her metabolic health, and as a society, we should stop looking for a panacea and start accepting that this is a complex problem that may have a different solution for each individual.” (more…)

We give you the skinny on lean

If someone asked you what “lean” meant, what would your answer be? Most likely you’d say something like “It means having less than 5% bodyfat.” Or, “It means being able to see my abs — all eight of them.” But if you ask the United States Department of Agriculture, it means something else entirely. And the definitions of “lean” that they’ve developed can help you achieve your own definition of lean. The Food and Drug Administration is the body behind the ubiquitous Nutrition Facts label, and it is tasked with regulating any number of industries (pharmaceuticals, supplements, cosmetics, medical devices), including the nutritional content of foods. As of 2007, it has developed a definition for “lean” that is given to foods that contain less than 8 grams of total fat, less than 3.5 g of saturated fat, and less than 80 milligrams cholesterol per serving.
