That is the case with a lot of people because the only way you can tell if somebody works out in the gym is if the lot physically strong like big bulging biceps to visible hard six pack abs to they muscular physique.A lot of people claim to work out and tell family,friends or complete stranger things like i feel like the fittest woman alive or im stronger than an ox etc these people tend to go into bodybuilding or the army etc and some bodybuilders for example have no muscular look but they say their muscular and strong, it's really an insult to those people who really workout they work their teeth to the bone to get the body get earned and some people claim they are fit and strong.Remember real gym folk with muscles and look muscular are the real deal in fitness those other people without muscles but claim they are muscular are not what they say they are.

Genetics do directly affect a person's potential for muscular development, but also note that most people have quite similar genetics in this respect. Most people respond similarly to exercise.

How come NPC Bikini Competitors in bodybuilding lack big biceps and hard six pack abs to someone like bodybuilding champion Cory Everson?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NPC bikini competitiors are female bodybuilders and primarily natural competitors meaning that they do not use steroids or other anabolics.

Bikini competitors are judged on figure and not so much muscularity, that is why they do not have big biceps and hard six-pack abs. They just don't need them for one and in order to obtain muscles that could compare to a male they would require the usage of anabolic steroids.

Do muscular girls embarrass puny boys?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As a guy who hangs out with a (relatively) puny guy, I know for a fact that he couldn't care less. As long as you don't snap him like a twig, he's fine. This kind of question varies from case to case, so there is no definitive answer.

I lied. In a masculine culture, yes, they would. That is the cultural view. The case by case rule still applies.

Does Mr Olympia allow the use of steroids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While it doesn't tell its contestants that it is o.k. to take steroids, it does not test for them either.

But if you see the amount of muscle they've put on their bone, of course you can answer your own question

Is it possible to get ripped in a day...Technically the longer you work out the more fat you burn and the more muscle mass you develop. Therefore if you were to workout for an entire day would it work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The short answer is no, it is not possible to get ripped in a day, no matter how quickly you think you can burn fat or how much muscle you think you'll gain in a day. There are several reasons for this, which will be explained in detail.

The process of burning fat is not a speedy one. In order to burn fat, you must use more calories than you consume. Your body does this by converting body fat into a fuel usable for energy. There is a limit to how quickly your body can do this, and it's not fast. For this reason, it is possible for an overweight person to die of starvation, despite having an apparently-abundant energy source built-in.

It is extremely unsafe for most people to lose more than one pound of fat in a single day; the recommended schedule for most overweight people is one pound per week. Anything much more than this is considered a "crash diet", and will likely disrupt your metabolism and other necessary bodily functions.

The process of building muscle is not a speedy one. In order to build muscle, you must exercise your muscles in order to develop a physiological need for muscle growth. The process of muscle building (in overly-simplistic terms) is that exercise wears down your muscles, creating a need for them to rest, repair, and rejuvenate. The restoration process uses water, protein, and other substances to rebuild the muscle into one that is just slightly bigger and stronger. The process of repeating this regularly over a long time is what causes people to be muscular.

There is a practical limit to the amount of exercise, especially weightlifting, that is beneficial in any given time period. Too much exercise can result in overtraining, a condition where the damage to your muscles is greater than the expected benefits. Overtraining also makes you more vulnerable to injury, such as tearing a muscle or tendon, getting stress fractures in bones, and exaggerated muscle stiffness and soreness for a longer time. When you get into overtraining, your muscles will be trying to restore themselves to the healthy state they were in before the damage, rather than trying to be bigger and stronger to meet the physical demands placed on them.

Finally, the day is simply not long enough, even if the dangers of extreme caloric deficit and overtraining are not considered. Besides the fact that the human body is not capable of performing the required changes in that short of time, it is not reasonable to expect that one day of exercise will burn enough calories or produce enough muscular duress to make a visible difference.

Consider that most people who go to their gym regularly (not body builders or professional athletes, just regular people) will exercise for about an hour per day, three days per week. In most cases (depending on the type of exercise and the person's genetic makeup), results aren't realized for at least 12 to 24 weeks. Even at the conservative edge of the scale, that's 36 hours (1 hour times 3 days times 12 weeks = 36 total hours) of exercise just to achieve modest results. On Earth, a day only has 24 hours.

The only circumstance that would make the premise of this question plausible (able to get ripped in one day) is if you are already a pro athlete in great physical condition, but carrying just enough water weight to soften the appearance of muscles enough so that you don't consider yourself "ripped", and you do what boxers and bodybuilders call "cutting weight".

Cutting weight is a process of strategic extreme dehydration brought on by use of exercise and heat to induce sweat and use of natural and chemical diuretics to flush out systemic fluid. This can be very dangerous except under the supervision of a trained physician or sports trainer. Please do not do this. Even so, this will not address issues of carrying too much fat or not enough muscle in order to be "ripped".
