Bodybuilding is an activity where people develop their muscles. It is a form of human body change which uses intensive muscle hypertrophy. Types of exercise workout routines that bodybuilders do include a full-body workout and a split workout.

An individual who engages in this activity is referred to as a bodybuilder. In competitive bodybuilding, bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, who assign points based on their appearance.

The muscles are revealed through a process known as the "cutting phase" - a combination of fat loss, oils, and tanning which, combined with the lighting, make the definition of the muscle group more distinct.
