Some OSU students work to build their bodies through years of work, sufficient caloric intake, weight training and rest.

The bodybuilders at OSU will be honored at the second annual “Mr. and Miss OSU Classic” bodybuilding competition.

The competition is free and open to the public and will be held 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Student Union Theatre.

Bodybuilders display their physiques to a panel of judges, and based on the aesthetic appearance of the participant, the judge assigns the points.

There are several parameters which should be considered when being a bodybuilder.

The bodybuilders get points in a combination of their use of oils tanning and tanning lotions, and fat loss. It is usually combined with lighting which makes the definition of the muscle group more distinct.

Bodybuilding is not just working out; it is a constant muscle building. Bodybuilding, rather than a major sport like football, basketball or lacrosse can go seemingly unnoticed.

Hannah Wesley, a psychology student, said that even though she is not going this time, it would be impressive to see how much people can lift.

There are a lot of students on campus who are concerned about getting scholarships in order to pay for their education.

Nicholas Johnson, a civil engineering sophomore, said that it is more difficult to get scholarships as a bodybuilder than as a football player.

He said this would be the first time for him to attend such an event. Johnson said that he had friends who had been educating him about bodybuilding, and although he found it interesting, he had prior commitments.
