Too often criticized, bodybuilding is a practice that is both sporting and therapeutic! Bordering on physiotherapy in terms of rehabilitation and athletic reconditioning, it can also strive for high level and excellence with professional bodybuilding, weightlifting and powerlifting.
After debunking 10 common misconceptions about bodybuilding, sports coach David Costa now presents the benefits of bodybuilding.
Presentation of the framework:
The teaching of bodybuilding is not based on empiricism! On the contrary, it relies on biomechanical principles, anatomy, physiology, and neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and hormonal factors!
To this end, a few years ago there was the HACUMESE state diploma: Weightlifting, Bodybuilding, Educational, Sports and Fitness Training, recently replaced by the BP JEPS “Gymnastics for Fitness and Strength” with a specialization in strength training. This state diploma, which David Costa holds among others, is a benchmark in terms of bodybuilding practice and teaching! To ensure the quality of your gym’s coaching, inquire about the number of instructors holding this diploma.
A wide selection of lenses!
Here is a quick reminder of some of the goals that weight training can help achieve:
– Weight loss
– Increased muscle mass (gaining arms, pecs, thighs…)
– Achieve aesthetic goals (shape your buttocks, have a flat stomach, firm your arms)
– Relief and prevention of lower back pain (no more back pain due to prolonged sitting or driving)
– Muscle strengthening and toning (combating sagging skin due to aging)
– Posture improvement/correction
– Resuming activity safely (you wish to resume physical activity or a sport, but it has been 5 years or more since you have done anything regularly)
– To achieve/realize sporting goals or performances with or without competition (successfully running a 10 km without stopping and within a given time, bench pressing 100kg…)
– Re-athletization (preparation following physiotherapy to optimize your physical condition and improve your performance before resuming your activity)
– Physical preparation specific to an activity: skiing, swimming, team and individual sports (approaching these activities in the best conditions to fully enjoy them)
– Preparation for competitions and selection tests
Bodybuilding beyond just bulking up: your best ally for your well-being!
Targeted and appropriate strength training will allow you to strengthen your body by addressing its weaknesses and thus improve your daily well-being. Strength training is closely related to physiotherapy and often follows rehabilitation phases with physiotherapists. Many people have performed strengthening exercises during their rehabilitation after a muscle, joint, bone, ligament, or tendon injury. With a qualified personal trainer, you can extend, complement, and enhance the work done with your physiotherapist to help you regain your pre-injury mobility and physical abilities. Strength training is not simply about lifting weights; on the contrary, after an aesthetic, morphological, and postural assessment, it is important to develop a training program to strengthen and develop your muscles properly. Furthermore, you will learn to understand, develop, and feel your body.
Forget prejudices like, “Don’t do weight training if you have back pain,” or “Be careful, you’ll get huge arms if you do weight training!” Instead, consider that weight training reduces risk factors for coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer. It prevents osteoporosis and promotes weight loss and maintenance. It improves balance and preserves functional abilities, promotes psychological well-being, and prevents age-related neuromuscular degeneration.
