Contemporary women's bodybuilding

Women's bodybuilding is a contemporary emerging sport. Its rise and development have a history of nearly 20 years. Due to the influence and promotion of men's bodybuilding, it has developed to a certain level and is now popular all over the world.

Women's bodybuilding formally entered the field of bodybuilding in 1975. Before that, many women have noticed the pursuit of their physical beauty. Some women imitate men's bodybuilding exercise methods to train their bodies, and some women will change their muscle lines. The combination of method and some movements of gymnastics created women's bodybuilding, which spread rapidly.

In October 1977, Ohio, the United States held the world's first women's bodybuilding competition and achieved great success. In the following two or three years, many countries in the world have successively held unique women's bodybuilding competitions, especially the United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries that have large-scale women's bodybuilding activities every year.

In 1980, the International Bodybuilding Federation created the world's highest level of women's professional bodybuilding competition "Miss Olinya Bodybuilding Competition" in accordance with the needs of the development of world women's bodybuilding. And the Women's Committee was formally established. However, since the beginning of women’s bodybuilding exercises, it has developed to the current level. There has always been competition between the two schools in the understanding of women’s bodybuilding exercises. One school believes that the more muscles the body, the more cute; the other believes that women’s bodybuilding should be The soft lines can reflect the beauty of women as the standard. Due to the existence of these two views, they affect the development of women's bodybuilding to varying degrees. Moreover, judging from the actual situation of women's bodybuilding today, the dispute between the two schools It's getting more intense.

 

In this case, the International Bodybuilding Association launched in 1987 the training content and competition scoring standards that are fully in line with the characteristics of women. The general content includes two aspects:

The important thing for women's bodybuilding is to find an ideal, beautiful, and robust body shape.

Second, in terms of muscular development, women cannot be forced to have muscle mass like a male physique. They must emphasize the beauty of strong and feminine lines, and combine the clarity of muscles with soft lines.

Under the guidance of this thought, women's bodybuilding is developing rapidly in a healthy direction.
