Bodybuilder Photo |WORK|

There's no question that NPC Competitor/Bodybuilder, Seth Brooks has a passion for the sport. His dedication and determination to be amongst the pros is apparent in his physique. I had the opportunity to do some portrait photography with Seth at Hardcore Fitness Center in Pinellas Park last week, just three days before he hit the competition stage in St. Augustine, FL. Here are the photos that Seth selected for his portfolio.

A common practice among bodybuilders is the use of carbohydrate loading to improve physical appearance during competition, while limited documented data is available about this issue. The aim of the present study was to evaluate muscle thickness, mood states, gastrointestinal symptoms and subjective silhouette assessment following carbohydrate loading in bodybuilders. Twenty-four male bodybuilders were evaluated at the weighing period following three days of carbohydrate depletion (M1), and 24h of carbohydrate loading leading up to the competition (M2), stratified into: no carbohydrate load (NC, n = 9) and carbohydrate loading (CL, n =1 5). The silhouette scale, Brunel mood scale (BRUMS), muscle thickness (ultrasound), circumferences, and gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) were evaluated at M1 and M2. The NC displayed no differences in muscle thickness and circumferences between M1 and M2. Body mass, muscle thickness (elbow flexors, a combination of biceps brachii/ brachialis muscle, and triceps brachii) and circumferences (chest, hip, thigh, arm, calves, and forearm) increased significantly (p < 0.05) in the CL at M2. There was a significant increase in photo silhouette scores (p < 0.05) in the CL at M2. There was no significant difference in mood states between groups or time. The most reported GIS was constipation: 7/9 (NC) and 9/15 (CL) during M1 and 6/9 (NC), and 5/15 (CL) at M2 with symptoms described as 'moderate' or 'severe'. Diarrhea was reported by 7/15 CL (4/15 as severe). These data suggest that carbohydrate loading may contribute to an acute increase in muscle volume and physical appearance, however, it needs to be better planned to minimize gastrointestinal symptoms in bodybuilders.

Now it's your turn. Maybe you're getting ready for a bodybuilding or fitness competition. Maybe you have an upcoming photo shoot. Or maybe you're going on a beach vacation and want to look ripped when you shed your clothes.

Because creatine HCL is better taken up into the muscle, none is left sitting around outside the muscle to cause water retention under the skin. The proof is in the photos. I take 2 grams of creatine HCL before and after every workout via Pre JYM and Post JYM, during the final week before my peak day. And as you can see from my photos, I'm not retaining any water under my skin.

Love Island USA fans dug up an unrecognizable photo of Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen from when he previously participated in a fitness competition. The 23-year-old small-town sweetheart joined the rest of the singles in Fiji as an original islander. For the introductory pairing, the women were blinded by the Instagram models of the group, leaving Bergie standing alone. Bergie chose Anna Kurdy after she came second to her first choice, and the two were voted the least compatible couple for the initial round of eliminations. The Dairy Queen manager bounced back after being awarded a chance to stay and formed a connection with bombshell Carmen Kocourek.

Redditors were in disbelief by Bergie's impressive stature and displayed confidence. One user said they "thought his face was photoshopped into that body." Bergie's appearance and personality on the show versus the surfaced photo are so contradictory, that fans began speculating whether it was intentional by producers for Bergie to present differently.

Fans were surprised to see Bergie pictured with the overly-bronzed fitness competition spray tan due to what's commonly associated with his personality type and those of bodybuilders. The fan-favorite islander tackles many societal norms with his rare representation of a male bodybuilder turned reality TV star. And it has done him good, as Carmen is leaning toward him over self-proclaimed macho-man Victor Gonzalez. While some still think Bergie isn't fit for the island for his characteristics outlined above, many want to see him come out on top.

Jolene Jones posted photos of herself -- one as a bodybuilder and another after she gave up a 'grueling gym regimen' -- on Facebook with a message that's so far drawn more than 129,000 positive responses.

\"This isn't your typical transformation photo,\" Jones wrote. \"I went from being controlled by my grueling gym regimen and weighing chicken and having protein shakes in my purse to fully enjoying a social life.\"

2. Camera-mounted flash is NOT going to be flattering. Most photos of this type are done in studios with a whole array of lighting equipment. Because the primary purpose is just to document this guy's body, you could use it if you can't think of anything better. Sidelight will bring out the nuances of his musculature much better.

I used to know a competitive bodybuilder and competing was rigorous as was everything that went with it, including the photos. So you need to see how it's done because these aren't just the usua; nude genre. 006ab0faaa
