Amidst a War, Iraqis still Bodybuilding!

Much like other war-torn areas in the Middle East, the country of Iraq has used bodybuilding as a release from all of the horrors that surround its citizens. Now the sport has grown to be one of the most popular pastimes among Iraqis and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down.

There are definitely a lot of questions that need to be answered with regards to the war and violence that plagues Iraq. As to whether or not these questions will be clearly answered, we may never know. But amid the uncertainties and conspiracy theories surrounding Iraq and the war one thing has remained constant in the country: bodybuilding. Faktisk, the sport of bodybuilding has grown to gigantic proportions in Iraq ever since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

Now competitions are commonly being held in the country, bodybuilding legends are being idolized, and ordinary citizens now have the freedom to pump as much iron as they want. Want more evidence of the bodybuilding phenomenon in Iraq? How about the fact that, much like its fellow Middle Eastern country Afghanistan, tons of gyms have been popping up across Iraqi lands in order to meet the needs of the increased number of bodybuilders.

Holistic Acne Treatment Helps Thousands Worldwide In Quest For Clear Skin After suffering from severe acne for more than 13 år, trying almost every conventional acne drug and treatment, Mike Walden, en 33 year old writer from California, began an extensive 4-year research to find an alternative cure for acne and perhaps reveal the truth behind what he calls "the inflammatory disease of lies and misconceptions". Here\'s a link To Learn More "Acne sufferers are getting tired of being exploited", Says Walden "There are too many marketers and charlatans out to make a fast buck on the expense of the vulnerable. Acne sufferers cannot afford to spend their hard earned money on useless pricey acne cures and quick fixes only to be disappointed time and time again." Through his research, Walden realized that there is an abundance of acne cures that focus merely on the symptoms of acne, but very few if any that focus on permanently fixing the root cause. "The sad truth", adds Walden, "is that even the so called natural approaches to the treatment of acne that are aimed to cure acne from within, are either unrealistic, impractical and often pricey or they are just the same one- dimensional gimmick cures disguised as holistic solutions." According to Walden, in order to permanently cure acne one must approach the disease from a holistic multi-dimensional perspective as oppose to tackling only a single factor that leads to acne formation. Endvidere, the program must be practical and logical to use."There is simply no other way, but the holistic way", says Walden, "The Acne No More™ program was born out of these necessities." Here\'s a link To Learn More The Acne No More™ is a unique step-by-step holistic acne treatment, consisting of several sub-plans each designed to tackle a different factor responsible for acne. The main idea is using both the powers of the body and the mind to help the skin heal itself from the inside out. In a down-to-earth, often very personal and moving style, Waldenwill guide you through the entire process of getting rid of your acne holistically, and achieving acne-free skin, without the costs and side effects of conventional medications. Targeting acne sufferers who have tried or wish to avoid conventional drugs and harsh topical treatments, the Acne No More™ program has been proven effective with all types of acne, in all levels of severity. Since its release, in early 2005, the Acne No More™ program, the result of 4 years of research and experiment, has literally helped thousands of people worldwide to achieve clear skin. In a message to Walden, Vicky Evans a 26 years old from the U.K, who\'s \'before and after\' photos are posted on the company\'s website, writes: "I had terrible acne for more than 9 år. There were many times when I seriously thought about giving up until I found your program. I dag, my skin is practically perfect. I look and I feel like a new woman. You really made a difference here and I have no words to express my gratitude." "Ingen, I\'m not a dermatologist, " laughs Walden, "but I sure am proud to have created a program that truly helps other acne sufferers to end their physical and emotional scarring for good and gain their lives back". The Acne No More™ program includes an exclusive one-on-one counseling provided by the author. For additional information on how to cure acne holistically: Here\'s a link To Learn More

And it is the explosion of the number of gyms in the country that may be the single greatest reason as to why bodybuilding has taken off in Iraq. Under Saddam Hussein’s control, there were strict regulations imposed on the opening of gyms in the country. Anyone wishing to start a gym in Iraq needed permission to do so and this wasn’t easily obtainable due to the scrupulous weightlifting union that presided over these affairs.

The lack of gyms in the country meant that only certain people could lift and these people usually happened to be top shelf athletes or highly ranked members of society. But this all changed after the collapse of Saddam’s regime as permission was no longer needed in order to open a gym. Entrepreneurs are now allowed to capitalize on the growing popularity of bodybuilding in Iraq.

One of these entrepreneurs is Sabah Talib, who opened the Arnold Classic Gym which is named after none other than former Mr. Olympia and current Governor of California Arnold Swarzenegger. Talib frequently competed in international bodybuilding contests, won numerous Asian championships, and was eventually recruited to train agents for Saddam. He reluctantly accepted the position but later fled the country only to return years later to open his gym.

Talib believes that the reason behind the growth of bodybuilding in Iraq goes deeper than the traditional mentality of lifting weights in order to get a physique that’s more attractive to women. He was quoted as saying "Most members are trying to build their bodies as soon as possible to help find a job in one of the security companies. The sport became popular after the invasion for finding jobs."

But finding a job in the ever expanding market for security guards in Iraq is certainly not the only motivation for bodybuilding in the country. The love for competition has struck the Iraqi people just as it does to everyone else. And Sabah Talib knows this better than anyone as he staged a bodybuilding competition in downtown Iraq on Arnold Swarzenegger’s birthday.

Der var 27 competitors from 6 different weight classes who took part in the event that was dubbed the “Arnold Classic”. No the stage wasn’t polished and glossy like the ones we are used to seeing in America and some competitors had to use red ink instead of bronze posing oil to coat their bodies, dog, the competition was still very, vellykket.

But while competitions such as the Arnold Classic may draw the cameras and other media attention, it’s important to realize that the bodybuilding craze extends far beyond the stage and to those who may not yet be ready to compete. Guys like Mohammed Jassem, who doesn’t quite have the muscles of a world competitor right now but is definitely working on it. He is a member of the Arnold Classic Gym and has hopes for one day representing Iraq in international competitions. Jassem is also one of many Iraqi bodybuilders who still looks to Arnold Scharzenegger as inspiration as he said, “Arnold is my hero.”

Thanks to the availability of modern weightlifting equipment in Iraq, men like Jassem may one day be able to reach their dreams of making it to the competition stage. This availability of modern equipment in military bases has also helped U.S. soldiers to train with weights while stationed in Iraq as well. Marine Lance Corporal Damion Ricketts is one of these soldiers who hits the weights quite frequently while he was overseas. Ricketts, who worked 12 hour days while in Iraq, would somehow find time to squeeze two hours of weight training into his grueling schedule.

Ricketts managed to pack on 25 pounds of muscle while stationed in Iraq and looks to have a very promisingbodybuilding career in his future. Hvem ved, maybe one day Ricketts and Mohammed Jassem will find themselves competing on the same stage in an international competition. But that is something to ponder at a later time as for now, their thoughts will reside in the same place as the rest of the world in hoping that the conflict and war in Iraq will soon come to a close and peace will be restored to this struggling nation.
