For my research paper I am choosing to write my paper on bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is something I have a passion for and I love to do. By writing this paper I hope to open other peoples mind to the sport because not to many people know about it. I think most people think it is just about working out and getting big, but it is much more than that. I think bodybuilding could be considered one of the hardest sports out there today.
I know that bodybuilding started in the 19th century in parts of Europe. I also know what it takes to compete and to win competitions. Today, bodybuilding is broken down into many different organizations but the best organizations are the NPC for amateurs and the IFFB for professionals. In order to become an IFFB pro a person needs to win a national show as an amateur with that victory they will earn their pro card. When competing it is a long difficult process, many bodybuilders have a strict diet for 12 weeks or longer.
Some things I would like to learn more about are peoples feeling and views about bodybuilding. I would also like to know more about the role that steroids play in the world of bodybuilding. With that being said I want to research how many pros there are that are all natural. Finally, I would like to learn some statistics like how many amateurs there are competing today and what percent of them will turn pro one day.
