ABOUT US

Live up is a platform that introduces one of the fastest-growing sports in China--- bodybuilding. Sixty years ago, people would laugh at people who jogging on the street and even throw beer bottles at them. But right now, jogging is considered a healthy lifestyle and many people love to jog outside. Nowadays, there are still many people who do not understand why some people go to the gym and train that hard to build their bodies. But I believe, just like jogging, several decades later, people’s mindset will change and bodybuilding will eventually become a lifestyle for most people. And Chinese bodybuilding has a lot of potentials to reach that goal. Although this goal cannot happen instantly, but this website wants to lay some groundwork for the future.

 

Most of us are the inheritor of Confucianism which teaches us to be humble and not to fiercely compete with others. And this kind of ideology leads us to have a different attitude towards sport than the Western where contemporary sports spirit originated. In some ways, we are lack of competitive spirit which is an essential quality in today’s world competition. And also, we do not really integrate sport into our daily life.

 

Right now, with the development of our country and the improvement of people’s living standards, although there still exist some discrepancies in our sports system but it is also the best time for us to participate in sport to improve the situation of the sport. And one of the best ways to realize that is bodybuilding. Because it is not only a sport that can regularly be done alone which is helpful to create a fitness routine but also a sport that can obviously witness the progress in a relatively short time.

 

I can’t say Chinese bodybuilding’s future is 100% promising because right now even in the US where is known as the bodybuilding mecca, bodybuilding is still a minor sport. But I believe this sport can teach us more than physical exercise and transform both our body and mentality. And this site will provide you with history, personal stories, and other world-class resources to help you to start on this journey.
