eat, and work out on a daily basis. Affectionately called, “health nuts”, these people strive to live a healthier lifestyle. But then there is a third type of person. This type of person has discovered the art of body sculpting and pumping iron for the purpose of growing and shaping their muscles. We call these people bodybuilders. When we think of bodybuilders, celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger come to mind. Bodybuilders have spent years perfecting and sculpting their bodies. Some people see them as a turnoff, as it looks like they are stuffing pillows under their skin, while other people hail them as gods. Many bodybuilders become celebrities, and many celebrities strive to look like bodybuilders in order to prepare for a role or to make themselves more desirable for work. The world of bodybuilding is exclusive and isolating in its own right, as only the truly dedicated will spend loads of time in the gym while drinking protein and creatine shakes. There are competitions that are dedicated to the perfectly sculpted body, judging on strength, aesthetics, flexing abilities, plus tanning color. The prize? Prestigious titles, cash pr\izes, \ potential modeling contracts, fame, and respect from others in the fitness world. But just because someone has large muscles, doesn’t mean that they are healthy. Lately, there has een a surge of bodybuilders who will take their hobby and dedication to the extreme, resulting in \ taking steroids and other drugs. Bodybuilding is also very hard on the heart, and it is not uncommon to hear of a body builder who dropped dead from a heart attack.
