  1. Who Wins Bodybuilding Contests?

    If you think that you win bodybuilding contests by taking
    supplements and eating special diets, you've been reading too
    many magazines for bodybuilders. Champion body builders are
    born, not made; and exercising, not eating, enlarges muscles.
    Many bodybuilders also use steroids or other banned
    substances, even though they will deny that in public.
    The best body builders have the largest muscles. How
    large your muscles can grow depends on the size of your bones
    and the ratio of the length of muscle to tendon. Large muscles
    attach on large bones. Muscles that are too strong for bones can
    break them when they contract forcibly. Most people have a calf
    muscle that ends half way down the back of the lower leg to
    become a tendon that extends to the bottom of the heel. That's
    why most people can never be champion bodybuilders. If your
    calf muscle extends from the back of your knee to your ankle,
    you may have the potential to be a champion body builder.
    Muscles enlarge only when you exercise them against
    progressively greater resistance. Many bodybuilders think that
    the more time that they spend in the gym, the larger their
    muscles will be. You do not have to spend many hours lifting
    weights. The greater the resistance, the larger your muscles
    become.

    Some top bodybuilders have really small calves. Sometimes they sell
    them for their tender meat, or in the case of a dairy cow, they may
    allow the calf to grow in order to collect the milk it produces.

    Calves are born with a reserve of nutrients in their bodies and can be
    underfed for a short time after birth. Restricting the diet assists
    the calf in making the adjustment from birth without stressing the
    digestive system. This practice almost eliminates nutritional scours.
    Hungry calves will soon learn to supplement the liquid diet with
    nutrients from dry feed, and thus meet their nutritional requirements.

    I hope this helps you in your bodybuilding endeavours.

    More often they trade them for a handful of magic sauce.
