My working Hypothisys: Strength training is superior to cardio exercises such as running for its benefits on mental health.
If anyone has any input I would love to hear it.
Thanks Guys,

Mehhhhh, good luck backing that up.
Asides from the fact that your metabolism is peaked for hours after doing deads...I'm not seeing your heart being elevated to a cardiovascular level much after. The whole point of cardio is to keep your heart rate elevated at a certain level to burn....when you lift, your heart rate is at its peak while lifting...then it slowly slows down.
I wouldn't try to push the idea that shoving weight will burn more calories than getting on an elliptical machine for an hour, keeping your heart rate around 165-170.
Either way, this ought to be an interesting paper, PM me the whole thing or an outline, I'm interested.

working out for as little as 3 hours a week can increase the size of gray matter in your head.
this effect is especially acute for those in middle age who begin suffering from shrinking brain tissue. researchers credit exercises appeal to trigger biochemical changes that can produce an increase in new brain neurons. The scientists further postulate that exercise increases insulin like growth factor 1 (IGF1) a hormone that bathes the brain, particularly the hippocampus, and helps induce neural stem cells that then can become neurons and brain cells."

Actually they've done some very intense research into that.. turns out you burn a hell of lot more calories than once believed..
When I find the studies, I'll post them

This is exactly what i was looking for. I told my wife that we're not all bone heads. thx for the help i will look up this IGF1
no problem, it was a small article in a mag that cited that reference. i just read it a couple days before. not anything as far as real info in the article but thought it may help lead you in the right direction

I find weight training to be more like a "kata" in the martial arts...its something I think about...and act on...and do the best I can to improve on...its almost a zen like action for me....with the breathing and concentration....while doing cardio....no such feeling...just agony and boring as shit.......pushing iron is my thing.....brings me to a different level......some like golf...bowling.....finger painting...me...Ill push iron...

It ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."
Alright guys I need some help here. I gotta write a paper. I chose to write bout the definiton of bodybuliding. Now i dont think i can stretch it out over 5 pages. So I wanna know what it means to you to be a bodybuilder and your definiton of it. Id appreciate any ideas and help! Its due this week so hit me up!!! Thanks alot!
The chasing of one's image of physical aesthetic perfection. Then you can talk about how to some people it means more than just aesthetics like I stated, it also means health, overall physical perfection (strength, cardio fitness, etc.) properly displaying one's muscularity and definition (posing is a very lost art form, many these days don't take it seriously)
That's only what people's literal definition might be...then of course there's the whole personal aspects of it. Some see it as simply the challenge against self, fighting your own urges, discipline, pain etc. to make yourself bigger and stronger every day. Some see it as a never-ending pursuit to conquer and surpass what nature "intended our bodies to be"...to overcome the so-called limits that we've come in contact with. Yet others just seem to love it, they just have some obsession with it so they do it.

You can totally make 5 pages with the definition of bodybuilding. As Nick said, compare and contrast the differences between everyone's definition. There's all kinds; some of us here are powerlifters, others are into competition, while others are doing it for a hobby. The list goes on and on. Just start digging through the threads reading info.
Plus, this place is a great source, the words here are directly from the person who said it. Not quoted or changed in anyway.
Think of all that goes into bodybuildilng, all that you personally do for it, and all that it takes to get to the top. I could readily spit out a 10 page paper on this without thinking too hard...
This isn't one of those typical Watchman "Use the Search function" statements, but, use the search function. That will instantly give you thousands of topics on which you could base each different paragraph. Start with a general skeleton:
