Revolution by MATT TURNER
In just a few years, men’s physique contests have transformed the bodybuilding landscape. Thousands of guys who had never previously considered themselves bodybuilders are now pulling on their board shorts and lining up to take part. Although the category is new, it already often attracts the highest number of competitors.

Size Matters by DAVID SANDLER
My lifting career started out like that of many other teenagers looking to build muscle: find the biggest guy at the gym and do what he did—which typically meant putting as much weight as possible on the bar and completing the reps by any means necessary. Not only did my size increase, but so did my strength. Naturally, I continued to lift big, expecting my size to grow proportionately. This didn’t happen. I got stronger, but my muscle gains stagnated. What was going on? I thought size was directly related to strength. At least, that’s what the ­“experts” were saying.

Muscle Nutrition by MARK GILBERT
Last month we looked at macro­nutrients, the nutrients we eat in large quantities—protein, carbs and fat—that supply energy, essential fats and fibre. 
Now let’s consider micronutrients, which are the essential nutrients the body requires in very small quantities for carrying out the many processes that allow the metabolism to function. They are more commonly known as vitamins and minerals.
