bodybuilders
Gym-sculpted athletes
Bodybuilders are people who develop their muscles through weight training and diet, typically for competition or aesthetic goals.
The sport emphasizes muscular size, symmetry, and definition, with competitors posing to display their physiques: The bodybuilders backstage were applying oil before going onstage.
The term can also describe anyone serious about building muscle mass.
