In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A common misconception about abuse is that the victim somehow "deserves" it. For example, when Chris Brown battered Rihanna, many people quickly believed that Rihanna had done something wrong to "deserve" this abuse. This is not true. It doesn't matter what you have or haven't done; nobody deserves to be abused, and abuse is always the responsibility of the person committing it. This is true for all types of abuse, not just physical abuse. Each person deserves to be treated with dignity and kindness. These hotlines can help anyone who is or thinks they might be experiencing relationship abuse. They provide trained advocates who can listen to you and help you brainstorm solutions to your situation. In the US, you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline for free 24/7 at 1-800-799-SAFE. You can also contact the LoveIsRespect hotline, specifically for teens, at 1-866-331-9474 or text "loveis" to 22522. Both of these hotlines offer advocates for LGBTQ individuals, too. If you're concerned that your boyfriend is abusive, talk with someone you trust about it. This could be a parent, a counselor, a school official, or someone from your church. The important thing is to find someone who listens to you without judging you and offers you their support. Leaving an abusive relationship can be dangerous. It's important to talk with people who can help and support you so that you don't have to deal with it all on your own. Remember, asking for help isn't a sign of weakness or failure. It's a sign that you're strong enough to do what's healthy for you. If you feel like you're in immediate danger from your boyfriend, get away as soon as possible. Call a trusted friend or family member and ask to stay with them. Call a domestic violence agency in your area to find a local women's shelter or safehouse. Call the police, if you have to. Don't stay in an environment where you will continue to be abused. If you have been physically or sexually assaulted, call the police and seek medical attention immediately. Getting over an abusive relationship can be incredibly hard. Commonly, abusive people isolate you from your other friends and loved ones. An abusive ex can leave you feeling frightened, alone, or worthless. Rebuilding your support networks can help you move on from your abuser and recognize that you're an incredible person who's worthy of respect and caring. Join extracurricular activities and clubs at school. Serve your community as a peer advocate against relationship abuse. Many schools and communities have programs that help educate others about relationship abuse. If there isn't one in your area, start one! You may have heard so much abuse that your brain has come to accept it as "natural" or true. Remember that the abusive things your ex said to you were not true. If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts about yourself, take a moment to challenge them. You can find a positive thing to say instead, look for the logical flaws in your thoughts, or reframe negative thoughts in a helpful way. For example, you might find yourself thinking negative things about yourself or your appearance, especially if your abuser was very critical of you. Shift the focus to finding things you love and admire about yourself instead. It may feel "phony" at first because you aren't used to this way of thinking, but consistently choosing the positive will help you overcome the trauma of abuse. If you find yourself generalizing, such as "I'm such a loser," look for the logic to support these thoughts. Chances are, it isn't there. Focus on specifics, and if there's a real problem, look for ways to address it in a helpful way: "I spent more time watching TV than I should have today and didn't get my homework done. Tomorrow I can focus on putting my homework first and then reward myself without feeling guilty." Recognize even small accomplishments. Often, people who have been abused struggle with feelings of worthlessness. Take the time to recognize your achievements, even the small ones.
Summary: Understand that abuse is never your fault. Contact a domestic violence hotline. Talk with someone you trust. Seek safe shelter. Build strong support networks. Honor yourself.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you want to get into competitions, then it is important to know your body's strengths and to be aware of what judges will be looking for. Look into the federation's guidelines and attend a competition to see what the competitors look like. This will help you to design an effective training program along with the guidance of your trainer. If you have enlisted the help of a personal trainer, go to your first session and do exactly as you're told. If you are following an exercise program, follow each of the instructions to the letter, and do each exercise to the best of your ability. Getting started is arguably the most difficult part of bodybuilding. If you are using a trainer, listen to their advice and follow the training plans they've set. These are likely to be difficult, but are set in a specific order and pattern to help your body build sustained, useful muscles. Expect to start with basic exercises, such as squats and bench presses. These exercises allow you to gradually add more weight and provide significant gains. Track your progress via progress photos (ideally taken in the same lighting and clothing each week), weight gains, and measurement gains. Keep all of your gains and observations in a notebook or folder on your phone or computer so you have easy access and can check in with your progress any time. This may not seem like an important step, but being able to see physical changes in your body is an excellent way to keep your motivation high. If possible, use exactly the same pose in each of your photos, as well, as this will give you a more concrete visual of any possible changes. Tracking your progress will also give you a window into which exercises and routines are effective, and which do not provide as many muscle gains. If you've managed a certain set of weights for a week, don't immediately add another 20 pounds, as this could cause injury and could actually set your training back. Up your weight limits gradually, and stop if you feel any sharp pain or you are in danger of dropping your weights. Under the supervision of a trainer or partner, you might want to try dead lifting and similarly challenging lifts. If this is the case, be aware that these should never be done solo, and should not make up the bulk of your training. Although you might be tempted to train seven days a week, or even multiple times per day, this will actually slow down your progress and damage your muscles. Aim for four to five training times per week, varying the types of exercises you do. The human body is highly adaptable, so keeping your muscles guessing is a key aspect of bodybuilding and weightlifting. Although you should not do intense training regimens seven times per week, you should be in some way active each day, even if it something as simple as walking up stairs instead of using an elevator, or taking a walk around the block. Although you don't have to contort yourself into a pretzel following each training session, you should stretch your body thoroughly, for at least 5 to 10 minutes. When aiming for four to five days of training per week, make sure you add some recovery time. One to three days, you can go for a leisurely walk or a relaxed jog. One out of the two to three days, you could swim or practice yoga. Make sure you set aside time for your body to rest and heal. Do not, under any circumstances, skip rest days. Your body will not be able to build muscle effectively if it does not have time to heal and repair itself. Because building muscle means creating tiny tears in muscle fiber, which then heals, failing to give your body adequate time to repair and rest will mean few gains and the risk of serious injury.
Summary:
Identify your body type and what you are striving for. Get moving. Track your progress. Up your reps and weights gradually. Train four to five times per week. Stretch after working out. Give your body recovery time.
