Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance to control and develop their own muscle tissue. The individual engaged in this activity is called bodybuilder. In professional bodybuilding, bodybuilders will appear in the lineup and perform specific postures (and later individual postures routines) for a group of judges who rank players according to symmetry, muscle and adaptability. Bodybuilders achieve maximum angiogenesis by intentionally dehydrating, eliminating unnecessary body fat and carbohydrates, and tanning to enhance muscle clarity in preparation for the game. Bodybuilders may use anabolic steroids to exercise their muscles.
