Prince Harry starts working on his wedding body, steps out for workout

Prince Harry may be fifth in line for the British throne, but just like any other dude gearing up for a wedding, he's getting his body ready for the nuptial celebrations. And that means hitting the gym.

Just one day after announcing his engagement to Meghan Markle, an American actress best known for her work on the television series Suits, the royal was spotted leaving a workout session in London.

A former Captain in the British Armed Forces, Prince Harry shouldn't have much trouble getting his fitness back into military-grade shape—but he's going to have to put in the sweat sessions to get there. Luckily, though, his marriage to Markle isn't planned to take place until May 2018, so he's got plenty of time to work on getting lean and building upper-body muscle so he can fill out his suit on the big day.

If you've got a wedding coming up—whether you're the groom or not—you'll want to give these routines a go: Our favorite three total-body workouts to build lean muscle all over, our seven ways to shred body fat in seven days, and our best dumbbell-only routine to build a colossal chest.

what are the five most basic and integral bodybuilding tools in your arsenal?

ive been on my recomp journey for 4 months and am delighted with the results.

I took my first deload week and i'm back in it starting tomorrow.

so i start researching in an attempt to reveal and cover any blind spots, only to find a lot of people flapping gums but not being as straight forward as possible in relating what is completely barebones and undeniable truth when it comes to bodybuilding (specifically recomping healthfully and efficiently). just words and blah blah blah...

get to the fucking point already.

so i'd love to hear your thoughts. imagine someone walked up to you in the gym and said:

"1-5, what are the five most important tools, foods, supplements, methods, etc that got you where you are and are getting you to your current goals?"

thanks for playing.

Were the bodybuilders of Arnold’s era as big as was possible at the time?

I see a lot of complaining here that the mass monsters of today no longer aim for aesthetics. Was aesthetics really that big of a focus in Arnold’s era? As in, were they intentionally restricting their size to have good proportions, or were they as huge as they could get with the steroids available at that time period?

Two-Jointed Muscles of the Lower Body: What They Are and How to Train

A muscle that is a flexor at one joint may also be a flexor or extensor at another. These are known as two-jointed muscles, and here are the most effective ways to train the ones in your lower body.

Are you even aware you possess muscles that perform multiple joint functions?

Accutane and Bodybuiding

Im 19 years old and just started taking accutane, because i started having more and more acne all over my face (especially my jawline), arms and back. I just started working out for 10 months and i cant even wear a t shirt because of this acne which is frustrating. Im now 10 days (10mg a day) on Accutane so far. Im following all the rules but i just can't get rid of Whey Protein even tho my dermatologist told me to avoid them. But i'm not sure about it..

I used to weight 148 Lbs and im 6'2" now my current weight is 176 and it took me so much effort and time to achieve all that goal even tho i got a bit of a belly but thats fine. Its hard to replace the Protein Shake if you wanna cover your daily recommended protein intake. I find it hard to cover it even though im using the Protein Shake let alone without.

You need to eat a lot more protein if you wanna replace it and with my busy schedule its clearly not achievable. I read some people's experiences on a Bodybuilding forum concerning Accutane and Whey Protein most of them said it doesn't affect anything. Yet i'm not sure about that one because Whey is a molken Protein and as an acne patient you should avoid dairy products. Accutane makes you feel lazy and tired which i experienced by myself. But then again and i dont wanna lose the progress that i made the past months and knowing i can use a shaker will kind of motivate me. Because going to the gym without proper nutrition is just pointless..

I've been passionate about bodybuilding for years, but I'm 26 now and feel like my chances of competing are gone.

How old is too old? I see these guys... Regan, Dallas (RIP), etc. who are 22 and 24 years old, and just MASS MONSTERS. I'm 26 and nowhere near their level. At my age, I get this feeling that I'm just "too late", and missed out. Is this dumb? Or am I pretty much spot on? My physique is decent, and I'm getting there, but all signs point to the fact that I'm "old" now for the sport.

7 bodyweight exercises you can do on your front steps

Back in 2002, the beloved cartoon Hey Arnold! left fans with a gargantuan cliffhanger: What happened to its titular character's parents after they were last seen on a jungle excursion? Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie premieres on November 23, and, hopefully, it'll provide nostalgic fans with the family reunion Arnold dreamed of in the show—or with some closure, at the very least.

To celebrate the film's release, Reebok trainer and coach at Solace New York, Andrew Mariani, developed a bodyweight workout that's sure to spark some nostalgia with its fun, Hey Arnold!-themed exercise names. "It was honestly one of my favorite shows," says Mariani. "I always got caught up in the stories. I even played it on-demand in my dorm room in college a couple times."

Inspired by one of the show's most notable locations—Stoop Kid's stoop—he programmed a tough workout that you can do on your own stoop, sans equipment.

[RELATED1]

"Use the stoop and your bodyweight to simulate movements you can do at a gym where you have equipment at your disposal, such as barbells, weights, and dumbbells," Mariani says. "You can basically work the same muscle groups as you would with those pieces of equipment by using everyday objects or environments, such as a stoop, in your workout."

Keeping it fresh and switching the location of your workout also works your muscles in new ways, according to Mariani. "Exercising in different environments and using your bodyweight vs. equipment will challenge your body to work in a different way than it’s used to and create positive change," he says.

Although we're sure you're not afraid to leave your stoop, you can add variety to your workout program or sneak a workout in during the holidays with this equipment-free routine.

To channel your inner Stoop Kid and make some gains, perform 3-5 rounds of the following moves:

Exercise 1: Football Head pushups (elevated pushups) (10 reps)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: Place hands shoulder-width apart on one of the higher steps of the stoop. Perform a pushup—making sure to keep your hips, knees, and toes in line, and your core tight.

Exercise 2: Neighborhood foot-elevated pushups (10 reps)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: Place hands shoulder-width apart on the ground in front of the stoop with your feet on one of the steps. Perform a pushup, making sure to keep your hips, knees, and toes in line, and your core tight.

Exercise 3: Shortman single-leg stepups (20 reps)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: Place one leg at the bottom of the stoop and the other leg two steps up, with your knee bent. Step up, raising your knee above the step. Then, bring that leg back down to its original position. For added momentum, bend the opposite arm while you step.

Exercise 4: "Whatever you say" triceps dips (10 reps)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: Place hands shoulder-width apart on a high step of the stoop, with your legs extended straight out, touching the sidewalk in front of the stoop. Keeping your back close to the stoop, bend your elbows to lower your body toward the ground. Once your elbows are at a right angle, push up to return to the starting position.

Exercise 5: San Lorenzo elevated mountain climbers (20 reps)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: Start in an extended plank position with your hands resting on a higher step of the stoop and your feet on the sidewalk. Bring your knee up toward your chest while keeping your body in as straight a line as possible. Return to the starting position, and repeat the movement with your opposite leg.

Exercise 6: Beeper King split squats (10 reps each leg)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: With your feet hip-width apart, place the instep of your rear foot on one of the steps. Lower your hips toward the floor so that your rear knee comes close to the floor. Pause, and drive through your front heel to return to the starting position.

Exercise 7: P.S. 118 pistol squats (10 reps)

Courtesy of Reebok

Directions: Stand on the second step of the stoop with one leg planted firmly and the other foot extended slightly out in front. Push your hips backwards and bend into a squat on the standing leg, keeping the extended leg out in front and off the ground throughout the movement. Raise back up to the original position, never letting the extended foot hit the ground.

Why as a massive community on subreddit, and one that I’m sure previously frequented this website are not coming down hard on these guys and in boycotting/spreading the word about them maybe we can force them to change their rules and go back. Maybe even get an AMA with the CEO or something.

Because I don’t know about you guys, but I got into training properly recently and body building was a great resource for me. Now I feel kinda stuck as I don’t trust other programs online.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A message to all of our female bodybuilders and lifters in r/BB!

Ladies,

I'm working on getting an AMA set up for you all. I know bodybuilding is predominately a male sport, but it's important to put the spotlight on the hard working females in the sport as well. That also includes this subreddit.

We understand that there are a lot of female athletes and bodybuilders in our subreddit. It's hard to tell who is who when everyone is hidden behind an anonymous username, but rest assured, we know you're here lurking and participating!

I am friends with a handful of well known NPC and IFBB female lifters. Some nationally known and some regionally known, but all have a wealth of knowledge. To set something up for the females we have, I am currently working on setting up an AMA or two for the ladies.

Please be patient as I work through this process. Setting up AMA's with athletes is not the easiest thing to get done!

(Big thanks to /u/wesleyvissers for making the process easy with him!)

Just wanted send this message out to all the ladies here.

Thanks,

/u/ImTheDamnPresident and the /r/BB mod team

Bodybuilding.com’s unexpected paywall

I showed up to the gym today and opened my Shortcut to Size app (because I need guidance or I end up just doing curls and skull crushers all the time) and they are now charging $8.99 a month for all their programs. They didn’t even tell the people who made them - several of the spokespeople have taken to their social media pages to apologize and tell people where they can find their stuff for free.

You would think they would have provided some warning or perhaps even witnessed the EA debacle and held off.

First ever /r/Bodybuilding sponsored athlete. This is an idea in the alpha stages so please read, comment your thoughts and ideas and participate in discussion.

Whats up bb's, it's me your president, also one of your moderators here at /r/Bodybuilding. I facilitate the AMA's and I'm also working on getting a few others to host AMA's in the near future but thats a discussion for another time.

Anyway, lets get down to the meat and bones.

---

The idea was random but something that could be quite unique if accomplished correctly.

As many of you know, we have some great athletes here in the subreddit. Athletes who compete in classes ranging from Open, Classic, Physique both men and womens, Bikini etc. etc.

Here is the idea: We, /r/Bodybuliding, will sponsor one of our very own members for a bodybuilding competition.

How it will be done: We will have voting done in stages, almost like a NFL bracket. There will be a mens division and a womens division. We will vote on our favorite male athlete and we will vote on our favorite female athlete. They can compete in any class they so choose.

The voting will take place over a couple weeks or what have you. Really, just however long it takes.

Requirements for the athletes: MUST be active and participating members of our community and whatever else the community thinks is appropriate.

As I said, this is still an alpha idea. We will work it out more as time goes on. If we accomplish this, this could be one of the coolest things any bodybuilding community has done.

Please discuss.

The Gronkowski Family's Total-body Football Workout

David Yellen / M+F Magazine

As the bros were hitting middle school, their father, Gordie Sr., a co-owner of G&G Fitness in upstate New York, set up a fully equipped weight room for his five sons—Dan, Chris, Gordie Jr., Glenn, and Rob— for them to begin hitting the weights in their Amherst, NY, basement. Their intro started with low weight and high reps “so we would get used to the movements and to build strength for coordination,” Dan says. “Apparently it was a good plan.”

Whether they were breaking balls or breaking into dance between sets, and no matter the occasion—gearing up for game time under Friday night lights or getting their pump on before Saturday night shenanigans—the Gronks always made time to lift as a team. “In high school, we’d be like, ‘Let’s get a workout in before we go out,’ so we were all buff and everything,” Dan says.

Their athletic success is a well-documented tribute to the success of sibling camaraderie: Four of the five brothers were drafted in the NFL, with Rob, the most well known, a two-time Super Bowl champion and three-time All-Pro tight end with the New England Patriots. “With my brothers and I having each other, it helped significantly in two ways,” says Dan, a 2009 seventh-round draft pick by the Detroit Lions who played four seasons in the NFL as a tight end. “First, it was leading by example. The younger brothers were able to see how working out made you a better athlete. Second, we kept each other accountable and helped push each other to be the best we could be.”

So the logical next step in the family fitness evolution would be to create their own brand of group fitness—Gronk Fitness Programming. It’s a functional training class that differs from most, according to Dan, as it’s designed from actual pro sports training experiences, making it particularly attractive to ex-jocks as well as weekend warriors. At a Gronk Fitness Programming session you’ll experience a game day atmosphere: team captains, huddles, all-out intensity exercises, a two-minute drill, and even Gronkisms like their family slogan, “Get Your Mind Right,” which means “stay focused.” The workouts are even intense enough to impress Rob. “When he was hurt last year, he checked out a class,” Dan says. “He said, ‘Wow, this is so legit!’ And I’m like, ‘Obviously, Rob.’ ”

The benefits of Gronk Fitness Programming, according to Dan, are vast: The high-intensity aerobic and strength circuit will burn more calories and boost endurance in about half the time of a traditional workout. It’s also low impact, which will save your joints. And since the workouts are designed after actual sports programs, it’s fun, challenging, and beneficial to both athletes and wannabe athletes. With the group members constantly pushing one another, it’s a natural team builder, which helps participants feel accountable and stick with the program. “We want people who aren’t in their zones to push themselves and beat their physical goals, but also leave there knowing they can achieve things that they haven’t before,” Dan says.

Instructions

There are eight stations. Perform a variation of one exercise from each station for 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds, then proceed to the next station. Do this for three rounds with a 90-second rest in between rounds.

After you complete 3 rounds, perform this 2-minute drill: Perform any two exercises as fast and as hard as possible for 60 seconds each.

Complete a cool down after your workout with some light stretching and foam rolling.

/r/Bodybuilding Secret Santa!

Hello you sexy sonsofabitches.

There was a big fiasco with the last secret santa, with the OP deleting their acc, a shady address form, and someone posing to be OP afterwards? All in all a very confusing time. So I messaged the mod team and got the approval to host one myself, that will hopefully go smooth as butter :)

For anyone that doesn't know, a Secret Santa is an anonymous gift exchange with an organized group of people. You'll be given the name of another reddit user, and should message them when you receive their name for confirmation sake. The person receiving the message is the gift recipient, and the user messaging them is the "Secret Santa," or gift giver. The person receiving the gift should then give their santa their address, and you'll be done. :) As the Santa, feel free to ask questions about sizes to make sure you get the right size!

Requirements:
- 3 month old account

Anybody else have Raynaud's disease?

I just got diagnosed with primary Raynaud's on Monday. For those who don't know, its basically an incurable condition where your blood vessels excessively constrict in response to cold. I first started having symptoms 3 or 4 years ago, which was just blue hands.

I started bodybuilding around the same time, and I've put on a lot of muscle mass over the last few years. My Raynaud's symptoms have gotten progressively worse, to the point where now my hands and toes are blue all winter long and I get full body chills if I'm not dressed in enough layers.

I'm wondering if bodybuilding would be detrimental to this disease. It would make sense that putting on more mass would mean the body would have to work harder to pump blood outwards. Then again, they say exercise is beneficial to Raynaud's.

Does anyone else have Raynaud's, and if so, what do you do to make life easier? Has it effected bodybuilding for you at all?

One YouTuber added up the deaths on 'Game of Thrones,' and the body count is staggering

If any television show has mastered the art of putting together explosive battle scenes with plenty of slow-paced politicking, it's HBO's Game of Thrones.

Between chemical warfare (dragonfire), biological warfare (fire from an actual dragon), or an old-fashioned sword to the skull, there are plenty of gruesome ways to exit the wildly popular series. The more you (binge) watch, the more you can't help but think to yourself, "Damn, people are constanly dying." And you'd be right.

But exactly how many people (and animals) have met their (usually) untimely ends throughout the seven seasons of Game of Thrones?

[RELATED1]

Leon Andrew Razon, a YouTuber with dozens of compilation videos, took it upon himself to consolidate each and every on-camera death (making general estimates for the larger battles) into one chronological video.

The final body count? 174,373 total. But we definitely expect that number to rise by the time the eighth and final season is through.

Check out the full 20-minute video, which shows clips of each and every death scene, below:

ARISTIDE MBOMNI (GERMANY), THE GREAT STAR AT THE CLASSIC BODYBUILDING WORLD RANKING

World and European champion Aristide Mbomni (Germany), has been the most highlighted athlete of the season in Classic Bodybuilding. Born in 1979 (38 years old), Aristide made an interesting career in Martial Arts, before becoming in a Classic Bodybuilding star.

With a solid education (he speaks several languages), Mbomny has been leading the Classic Bodybuilding World Ranking during the whole season, based on his aesthetic body with 168 cm and almost 66 kg., “ripped to the bones”. The German star has won several events during the year (including European and World Championships) and reached an scoring record, with 49 points, during the 2017 IFBB season, that gave him the 15.000 € main cash prize.

TOP 10 CLASSIC BODYBUILDING WORLD RANKING:

1) Aristide Mbomni (Germany) 49 points 15.000 €
2) Angelo Ronquillo (Ecuador) 21 points 9.000 €
3) Eric Lompard (France) 20 points 5.000 €
4) Antonio Ludovico (Italy) 19 points 4.000 €

MIKA SIHVONEN WON THE 2017 BODYBUILDING WORLD RANKING

In a close battle for title with fantastic young irish Blessing Awodibu; the Finnish star Mika Sihvonen won the IFBB World Ranking Elite and made history, winning the first edition of this Circuit that has raised the amateur Bodybuilding to a new level, beside the main check valued in 15.000 euros.

Mika Sihvonen, who has been undefeated in Finland since his second competition and one of the most awarded athletes in Europe, won several titles during the year (as the Diamond Cup Portugal and Ben Weider Legacy Cup Lahti), reaching a total of 28 points. With his barely 80 kg, his main challenger has been the huge Blessing Awodibu (106 kg) who took in his hand to be the winner but, placing 2nd. in the World Championships, only reached 12 points; scoring a total of 26 points, not enough to defeat Sihvonen.

For 2018, both competitors could offer a new great battle, either in the World Ranking or in the Elite Pro Circuit as, for the moment, no one of them confirmed where they will continue with his sport careers.

TOP 10 BODYBUILDING WORLD RANKING:

1) Mika Sihvonen (Finland) 28 points 15.000 €
2) Blessing Awodibu (Ireland) 26 points 9.000 €

2017 WORLD BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIPS – BENIDORM, SPAIN AMAZING RIVARLY OF KOREA VS. IRAN

by Andrew Michalak
photo: Igor Kopcek (www.eastlabs.sk)
The Sunday program began with the opening ceremony, which included the Parade of Nations with 85 countries participated in. Not so easy to place all of them on the stage and around (only 1 delegate per country). IFBB President, Dr. Rafael Santonja, opened these the biggest ever World Men’s Championships. And now we know that the next edition of this event will be held in Marbella, Spain, a city hosted a couple of the previous Olympia Amateur Spain editions.
85 countries participated in the Championships this year and 55 of them entered the best teams classification (earned 1 point at least, what means placed competitor(s) in the top 10 in any category).
The Men Bodybuilding categories were continued, started with the 85 kg category and 2 brilliant victories of Oman stars. First, 2016 World Championships runner-up Haitham Al-Zadjali (Oman) moved up to the top. A couple of minutes later his team-mate, Ahmed Al Harthi, won the 90 kg category, following his final places in 2013 and 2015. 2016 world champion, Hossein Kalateh (Iran) moved to the 95 kg category and also won the gold medal. The 100 kg category had its dramatic changes. 2015 world champion Szymon Lada (Poland) was a bit overlooked in the semifinals (6th position) but clearly moved up the top in both final rounds, regaining the “gold”. Semifinal leader, Mazaher Abarghani, dropped to 3rd place, with Spanish Carlos Blanco keeping his 2nd position.
2016 over 100 kg class bronze medal winner, Mohsen Samadi (Iran) was unbeatable this time and later on has done something much more difficult: won the overall title by 1 point over Haitham Al-Zadjali (Oman). His muscular body (118.3 kg) was really very impressive.
Men’s Physique categories
Up to 170 cm class: it was a e-match for the European Championships. This time the European bronze medal winner Nehdyar Ramadan (Netherlands) jumped to the top, pushing the European champion Kamran Elyasi down to the 2nd place.
Up to 173 cm class: all medals went to Asia but with no big changes: 2016 world champion, Shao Zhong Zheng (China) stays at the top and Shogo Sato (Japan) moved up from 3rd to 2nd place.
Up to 176 cm class: 2017 Arnold Classic Europe sensational winner, Dmytro Horobets (Ukraine) won the gold medal and it was not his final word, as he also dominated the overall category.
Up to 179 cm class: 2017 European champion, Waldemar Gustafsson-Ek (Sweden) won this class, 3 points ahead of the 2016 5th place winner Akbar Sarbaz of Iran.
Up to 182 cm class: sensational, unanimous win of a new Spanish star Pablo Ramis, who placed ahead of the 2017 European Championships bronze medal winner Mahmut Alan (Turkey).
Over 182 cm class: two medals for France: Thierry Bayala with gold and William Pluskota with bronze. They were separated by Atef Jendoubi from Tunisia.
In the overall, Dmytro Horobets (Ukraine) outpointed by 3 points Thierry Bayala (France) and by 4 points Waldemar Gustafsson-Ek (Sweden).
Muscular Men’s Physique
Twenty competitors and medals went to 3 continents: 2017 South American champion Briger Renteria (Colombia) received the best scores form the judges and won this class 4 points ahead of Ahmed Elhalawani (Egypt) who was tied with Alexis Autreau (France).

The inspirational story of Army veteran and amateur bodybuilder Randy Lloyd

Like a lot of former soldiers, Randy Lloyd came home from war with injuries. Some were physical—back pain from a year-long tour in Iraq as part of an Army Reserves unit out of Ogden, UT. The more serious wounds, though, were mental and emotional.

When Lloyd’s service ended in 2010, doctors prescribed opioids for his pain. But while attending college, he started taking more medication to deal with the pressures of school and a case of post-traumatic stress disorder. Soon, Lloyd was addicted to prescription drugs. Then, heroin. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon trajectory for former soldiers: According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, more than two out of 10 veterans who suffer from PTSD also experience substance abuse disorder.

[RELATED1]

“You never grow up thinking you’re going to be an intravenous drug user,” Lloyd says. “But when you’re constantly trying to comfort yourself, you start to justify everything.”

After dropping out of college, Lloyd hit rock bottom in 2012 when he had to be revived by paramedics in a grocery store parking lot after overdosing on a combination of heroin and cocaine. After that, Lloyd checked into a nine-week Veterans Affairs rehab center. He got clean, moved to Las Vegas, and became a GNC store manager. Then, last year, while working at the Olympia Expo, he heard about FitOps Foundation—an all-expenses-paid training and certification program for veterans who want to become elite personal trainers, powered by the Performix brand. Lloyd was accepted into its inaugural class, and the experience was a life-changing event. “When I got accepted, I came home and I started crying,” Lloyd says. “I knew I was on the right path.”

But FitOps didn’t just help Lloyd improve other people’s physiques; it also positively impacted his own. Entering the program at a soft 225lbs, the 5'6" Lloyd cut down to a ripped 176lbs to compete in last spring’s NPC Southeast Texas Championships bodybuilding show. He took second in his class, and has plans to step back onstage this spring. Ultimately, Lloyd’s goal is to become an IFBB pro like his FitOps mentor, Marine Xavisus Gayden. “This past year has been one of the most amazing years of my life,” Lloyd says. “And it’s due to FitOps.”

2017 WORLD BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIPS – BENIDORM, SPAIN CLASSIC BODYBUILDING WINNERS

by Andrew Michalak
photo: Igor Kopcek (www.eastlabs.sk)
The first day of this year’s World Bodybuilding Championships were mainly devoted to Games Classic Bodybuilding and Classic Bodybuilding (all categories), with addition of the first 4 bodybuilding categories. The venue – marvelous Benidorm Palace – hosted the World Bodybuilding Championships for the 3rd time. It is located between the Deloix Hotel and the Melia Hotel, in which the participants are accommodated, so there was no problem with the transport.
Classic Bodybuilding was born in Europe 11 years ago, with the first World Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic in 2006, so it was their 12th edition. Games Classic Bodybuilding was added in 2016. Traditional Bodybuilding has a much longer history as the 71st edition is celebrated in Benidorm this year.
Games Classic Bodybuilding had its unbeatable leader, Aristide Mbomni from Germany, who won the 175 cm class as well as the overall title and… one more gold medal in Classic Bodybuilding first category, up to 168 cm.
In Classic Bodybuilding Iran won 2 gold medals. The rest went to Germany, Spain and Korea, with the overall winner Jehung Ryu from Korea. He regained the title first won in 2012. His team-mate, three-time world champion Kikwan Seol, lost the title in 168 cm class being tied 23:23 with the winner Aristide Mbomni. It was his 6th participation in the World Championships and he never finished lower than 2nd!
2016 world champion in the over 180 cm category, Hesam Larijani from Iran, won his second gold medal. His team-mate Mohammadreza Sartomi moved from his 3rd place last year up to the top in the 180 cm class. And we saw the great comeback of the Spanish star Jesus Rodal, who won the 171 cm category.
The first four Bodybuilding categories were dominated by the Korean stars, who won 3 gold medals. Kyeongmo Park (65 kg class) and Kyoungyun Nam (75 kg class) regained titles won last year, Seonghwan Kim (80 kg class) dethroned Masashi Suzuki (Japan) moving up to the top after his silver medal last year. The other 2016 world champion Mahdi Heydari (Iran, 70 kg category) also regained the title, so these World Championships are lucky for the last year champions.
The first day it was a match Korea vs. Iran, with Korea winning 11 medals (4 gold, 5 silver, 2 bronze) and Iran winning 4 medals (3 gold, 1 silver). To be continued on Sunday.

A big Thanks to /r/Bodybuilding

A few years back I posted about the passing of my father It really helped to deal with the emotional aftermath. When I'd have a rough day I'd come back and check out what people had said and it always lifted my spirits. I just wanted to thank you all for the support and say this is the best community on reddit. So thanks everyone!

Trying to get to around 7% body fat. Any help or suggestions?

I'm 6'3 a little over 190 pounds. I've been reading up and it seems that intermittent fasting is the way to go, eating about 2100 calories of protein, carbs, and fats, and train and HIIT during the fast. Anyone else have corrections or meal ideas? That's a lot of chicken and eggs.

Bodybuilding is the closest thing I can think of to grinding in an RPG

With other activities, it requires constant refinement of skill, technique, and new knowledge. While you need that (form and all that) to start bodybuilding and not get injured, once you get into it it’s just moving around heavy things. This allows you to move heavier things, which allows you to move even heavier things.

I can’t think of any other activity that works so similarly to RPG grinding.

/r/bodybuilding Secret Santa sign-up

Hello, everyone.

I posed the question of who might be interested in a Secret Santa in the DD and it seems that there was a good deal of interest. I thought getting an early start on it would be a good idea depending on how many people wanted to do it/I'm sure a lot of people will procrastinate. Below is a link to a survey with information needed regarding Secret Santa. I intend to pair up two people and will direct message them regarding who they have.

http://bit.ly/2za1sqS

I think this will be fun and on Christmas day we can have a thread where people post their pics opening their presents and their Secret Santa can comment on the person they had.

Feel free to fill it out until 11/20 (November 20) at which point I'll close it and begin pairing people up, giving you a month to buy a gift and send it and enough time for me to pair people up. Mods, appreciate if you could pin this on the front page so we can get as many people as we can.

I will NOT be sharing any of this information with a third party or anything like that. This is strictly for Secret Santa. If anyone has concerns with privacy, I would be happy to pass this off to the mods and have them take care of it/run the secret santa. The only person seeing your info will be your Secret Santa.

As for people outside the U.S., I encourage you to still sign up as their may be others from your country in which case I will pair you up.

Only sign up if you truly intend to participate. No one is going to be happy if you receive a gift but don't send anything.

Tagging mods so they see this:

/u/spiciernuggets

/u/ImTheDamnPresident

/u/DLTBB

edit #1: 3 hours in and we have 20 signed up! let's keep em comin'

Bodybuilding Snacks: Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe

The Picture Pantry / Getty

Directions: 

Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10-12 minutes. Remove from water, cool, and peel.

Slice eggs in half, remove yokes, and transfer them to a small mixing bowl. Combine the avocado, cilantro, green onion, and jalapeno with the yokes. Stir in lime juice, and season with salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard.

Mix well, and fill empty egg white halves. Chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, sprinkle with paprika.
