bodybuilding (uncountable)

1. A sport in which the aesthetics of muscular development is the basis for competition.
   • 1974, Charles Gaines; George Butler, Pumping Iron: The Art and Sport of Bodybuilding, page 7:

     Like those activities, bodybuilding is an obsession, a living (for a few), and a way of life for the people involved in it—a subculture, in a word, with its own values, aesthetics and vocabulary.

2. (dated) Work done to construct or repair the body of an automobile.
   • 2006 — Larry Scott (interview), Iron Man 65(5): 258

     "In my day, if you filled out your shirt, people assumed you played football or wrestled. The term bodybuilding had more to do with cars than lifting weights."
