American Bodybuilder

"Bodybuilding is the process of maximizing muscle hypertrophy through the combination of weight training, sufficient caloric intake, and rest. Someone who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. As a sport, called competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their aesthetic appearance. The muscles are revealed through a combination of fat loss, oils, and tanning (or tanning lotions) which combined with lighting make the definition of the muscle group more distinct. Famous bodybuilders include Arnold Schwarzenegger,Dorian Yates, Mike Mentzer, Lou Ferrigno, Steve Reeves, Serge Nubret, Larry Scott, Ronnie Coleman, and Jay Cutler."

"This is Tazzie Colomb. She says on her web site that she's a professional bodybuilder/ powerlifter. It's rare to be both a bodybuilder and a powerlifter (bodybuilding is about muscular definition; powerlifting is about strength and technique in three specific lifts)."
