GYM LORE: The History of Bodybuilding
Bodybuilding, as a sport goes way back to the 12th century in India where the first training techniques and bodybuilding nutrition were invented. By the 16th century, bodybuilding has become a national pastime and by this time, people from various parts of the world have also taken up its concept and used stone and wood to create the first dumbbell, thus spawning the vital component of bodybuilding which is weightlifting.
The late 1800s to the early 1900s led to bodybuilding becoming a widely popular commercial sport, especially among the general public. This was also the period where the first national and international bodybuilding competitions took place mostly around Europe.

Graeme L asked: hi there heres my story started going the gym about 3 months back to loose some weight and gain muscle i have gained muscle but not what i want maybe because of my diet i recently changed my diet (4 days ago) to a high protein low carb and low fat diet this because i am going to start bodybuilding.
i do have a stomach on me though and i was wondering what is the best way to get rid of it mainly because i want 6 pack abs for when i go into competition ive had a look and have seen that a balance of cardio and weight training is good but can u loose the weight on your stomach without cardio training because i hate cardio excersize only thing cardio i like to do is cycling and rowing i hate running.

Body Building Pics
What do you want to concentrate on when you are trying to take a great body building pic? You might want to show off your body - of course - but you also want to show off your muscle tone and bring to the forefront what you've been working so hard to achieve over the months and months that you've spent building this beautiful body.
To start with, you need to be sure that ALL of your muscles are perfectly toned and cut the way you want them to be. When you take your body building pics, you want the best of you to come out through the photograph and showcase the muscle tone you've worked so hard to build.
