I’ve been bodybuilding for about 6 months now and I’m not sure how much protein I should be taking. Some people say about 30 grams a day and others say 1 gram / lb of weight.

She discusses female bodybuilding as activism, as an often effective response to abuse, race and masculinity in bodybuilding, and the contradictory ways that photographers treat female body builders. “Bodymakers” also reveals how female body builders find themselves both trapped and empowered by their sport.

Ever wonder this? Obviously anorexia nervosa is a recognized mentaldisorder that can lead to death. But, why isn’textremebodybuilding?
