Bodybuilding is the sport of developing muscle fibers through the combination of weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest. Professional bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points.
Although initially a male-only pursuit, in the 1980s women started to compete in separate competitions, but as of 2004, women's bodybuilding has greatly waned in popularity.
The sport is not to be confused with Olympic weightlifting, strongman competition, or powerlifting, where emphasis is on actual physical strength. Although similar, the fields entail a different regimen of training and diet, as well as basic motivation.
Rather than focusing on the maximum strength development, bodybuilders aspire to the development and maintenance of an aesthetically pleasant (by bodybuilding standards) and balanced physique. In bodybuilding, size and shape are far more important than how much one can lift.
