Project Proposal

Natural bodybuilding is beneficial for any person's quality of life.  Exercising and being athletic may help in improving a person's mood and intellectual capacity.  Thus, bodybuilding is a good consideration for any person, and bodybuilding should not automatically be considered a sport for drug users.  There are many natural bodybuilders who use proper diet and nutrition to improve his/her physique.

Bodybuilding is largely an individual sport.  However, it may also be a team sport wherein fellow athletes may coach each other and assist each other perform exercises safely and effectively.  It is a sport that may be prerequisite for other sports.  Having a well balanced physique helps prevent injuries in other sports.  For example, the strength training could be built into a bodybuilding program.  Combined, strength training and bodybuilding could be important to playing football.

In bodybuilding, form is of paramount importance.  It helps improve your body's function.  It helps improve your body's posture.  With proper posture and body alignment, a person may age gracefully with less pain than may otherwise be experienced.  I would consider bodybuilding just for its overall health benefits that a person may experience.

At this time, Frank, David, and myself are engaging in our own experiment as to how a person may develop in bodybuilding.  Frank will be working out throughout this project.  We will be monitoring his progress accordingly.  He will be taking supplements and exercising regularly.

We will research written literature about bodybuilding.  We plan on interviewing an expert in the field  and/or a seasoned bodybuilder to gain some feedback on what works and what does not work when it comes to bodybuilding.  Our goal is not to become a Mr. Olympia but to learn some important bodybuilding lessons that we can take from and improve upon for years to come.
