For the bodybuilder, to flex is to live. Alive and well in America is the modern day bodybuilders’ relentless pursuit for enormous musculature, refined definition and perfect symmetry. The object of this game is to sculpt a body that shifts from the human to the surreal, catapulting the form to extreme proportions and shocking those who stare in envy. The hungry pursuit for a detailed and chiselled physique takes determination, hard work and an obsessive attitude towards a meticulous training regimen combined with the strictest of diets that few are able to achieve.

Ultimately, bodybuilders must master the art of posing and flexing their muscles for the judges; to showcase their best attributes as they’re carefully scrutinized side by side with the competition. The countless hours of posing in the mirror will give them the confidence and creativity vital to their success.
