Bodybuilding is the use of progressive resistance exercise to control and develop your own muscles. A person who is engaged in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders appear in lineups that make certain poses and later perform individual posing routines, for a body of judges who rank the competitors according to criteria such as symmetry, muscularity and conditioning. Bodybuilders are preparing for competitions through a combination of deliberate dehydration, elimination of insubstantial body fat and carbohydrate loading to achieve maximum vascularity, as well as tanning to accentuate muscle definition.
