Bodybuilding Wallpapers


Bodybuilding wallpaper for your computer comes in a variety of designs and is often used as a visual motivational tool for bodybuilders. An important part of bodybuilding is having the ability to visualize your goal, and having the right bodybuilding wallpaper will provide important motivation.


  1. Types

    • Wallpaper for bodybuilders will feature male and female bodybuilders in poses that emphasize a well-defined, muscular physique. Some may be posed in competitive postures or they may be shown in the process of performing an exercise. Different body types are well represented for both male and female bodybuilders, which is important when you are choosing wallpaper for inspiration in reaching your own goals. Other options include images of free weights, dumbbells, weight benches, squat racks and even bodybuilding supplements.

    Considerations

    • When selecting bodybuilding wallpaper for use as a motivational tool, select from models that appropriately represent your own body type. Selecting from a similar body type as your own will more accurately help you to visualize your potential. Choosing bodybuilding wallpaper that does not closely represent your own body type is like setting a goal that cannot be reached. If you are 65 inches tall and small-boned, you will not reach the same proportions as someone who is 75 inches tall and big-boned.

    Function

    • A bodybuilder's ability to visualize the end goal is an important motivational tool. Think of an artist sculpting a statue. The sculptor must first visualize what the final piece of art will look like, often utilizing a model as a guide. The artist then carefully molds the sculpture into a work of art. A bodybuilder uses a model in the same way, but instead of using clay and sculpting tools the bodybuilder uses weightlifting, diet and motivational tools to shape a body into a living piece of art.


    Expert Insight

    • When using bodybuilding wallpaper as a motivational tool, it is helpful to use more than one model for inspiration. It is important to know that more than just one person has been able to attain the goal that you are reaching for. Unless you are a competitive bodybuilder with a good start on your physique already, look for models who represent amateur bodybuilders so that you have a more realistic representation to guide you. Professional bodybuilders undergo intense training and maintain extreme diets prior to a major competition, molding a body into a form that will provide an unrealistic goal for the average bodybuilder to attain.
