The similarity between fitness and bodybuilding is that they can't do without the topic of muscle training, but there is a big speed gap between the two different ways of muscle training. For bodybuilders, they need to practice not only the size of muscles, but also the degree of muscle separation, the proportion of the whole muscle and aesthetic feeling, while ordinary bodybuilders often don't have so many rules and regulations to practice muscles.
Moreover, there is a big difference in muscle training between the two, that is, a considerable number of professional bodybuilders will use various hormone drugs to promote the rapid growth of muscles in order to pursue faster muscle training efficiency, which is more harmful to the body, while ordinary bodybuilders pursue natural fitness, and muscles are more like by-products of fitness. So what's the difference between the muscles trained by natural fitness and those trained by drug bodybuilding?
First, the muscle strength gap
Maybe most people can't appreciate the muscles of bodybuilders and think they are too big. But in terms of strength, even if bodybuilders use drugs to exercise, their muscle strength will be much greater than that of ordinary bodybuilders. After all, large muscle dimensions also represent muscle strength. Many bodybuilders even take drugs, but their own strength training is stronger than that of ordinary natural bodybuilders, so their muscle strength is often stronger.
Second, the gap in muscle shape.
From the perspective of muscle shape, bodybuilders are much better than ordinary bodybuilders in terms of muscle size and muscle lines. After all, although the training system is the same, the training intensity and frequency of bodybuilders are not comparable to those of ordinary bodybuilders, let alone adding hormones and other drugs. There will be a big gap between the two in muscle-building efficiency and final muscle morphology.
Third, the physical quality gap between them.
Many people think that the bigger the muscle, the stronger the physical quality, but the physical quality can not be seen only from the muscle dimension. Most bodybuilders have a great influence on their health because of taking drugs for a long time, while ordinary bodybuilders are healthier because of their natural bodybuilding, although their muscle dimensions are not as good as bodybuilders.
Of course, from this point, we can't simply say that natural fitness is better than drug fitness. Their fitness training purposes are different. Fitness training for bodybuilders is for more honor and benefits, while ordinary bodybuilders are for better physical fitness and changing their appearance.
Do you think fitness is better or bodybuilding is better?
