Facts over feelings. This has always been my approach toward bodybuilding. Bodybuilding fans are a passionate lot and defend their favorite bodybuilder at the drop of a hat. While I too am a huge fan of Chris Bumstead and Arnold Schwarzenegger, I try not to let favoritism cloud my judgment. This is also how I approach my writing. While you won't always find me hitting the gym, you'll find me analyzing images, footage from bodybuilding contests, judges' scorecards, and diving deep into bodybuilding lore to enrich my writing. While I haven't always been a bodybuilding writer, I have always kept up with the sport to some capacity. My love for calisthenics (basically working out with your body weight) kept me connected to bodybuilding and fitness. Having penned over 1000 articles at ES, my greatest win was an article that I wrote finding mention in a YouTube video by IFBB Pro Greg Doucette. I guess one can never turn away from the sport after seeing one of the iconic posters of Arnold Schwarzenegger as a kid. Besides bodybuilding, I'm also a fight fan who loves MMA.

Hi, I'm Arpita Shrivastava, a fitness and bodybuilding writer at EssentiallySports. When I started college, my fascination shifted to combat sports and I began training for Judo. I did it for two years until an injury compelled me to step away from the mat. However, my love for sports continued. After venturing into journalism, I read a lot about fitness and wrote stories about dedication and perseverance. After joining ES, my perspective on sports profoundly changed. The first bodybuilder I wrote about was the 'God of Squats' Tom Platz. He didn't win an Olympia title, but his incredible dedication toward his goals and his communication skills left a lasting impression on me. As Platz says. "I don't believe in luck. Luck comes to men of action." This has been a remarkable learning experience for me, teaching me to never give up on my dreams regardless of hurdles. I continue to be eager, curious, and on a mission to never stop learning because there's always room for a little change. Hit me up at:

I'm Pritha Halder, your everyday spokon fanatic. Spokon is the Japanese term for sports manga and anime. Rather strangely, this was the root from which my love for competitive bodybuilding blossomed. I started watching spokon such as Haikyuu when I was younger, and it helped me look at competitive sports as a source for various life lessons. Seeking out more sources of inspiration, I expanded my search into other sports and I discovered bodybuilding through reading articles about Frank Zane. This was somebody still practicing his craft in his 80s. That is when I discovered the vast amount of self-discipline and fortitude exhibited in competitive bodybuilding. Back when I was doing my Bachelor?s degree in English Language and Literature, and even now while I am pursuing a career in sports writing, there is a quote from Frank Zane that keeps me going every day: ?Live your life by the hour, not by the day. What will you achieve in the next hour?? Want to talk bodybuilding with me? Find me at:
