Big Body: A Collaborative Platform for Bodybuilding and Nutrition

Abstract

Health and a supple body has been seen as a prized possession by almost every culture. Witnessing our body grow and come alive with health after months of hard work is an unparalleled feeling. Bodybuilding tends to improve our self confidence immensely. The paper describes the software that I have built to bring the relevant information needed to build an attractive and healthy body. It describes an online store application built using PHP-MySQL that provides supplements for bodybuilding for different body types. A customer can browse products, chat online with customer representatives and write reviews for the products. Customers can also compare prices for products and have access to blogs. In this paper, I have incorporated features supported by the application in detail for multiple modules that form the system. This paper also develops some novel features that are not typically available on commercial and well known nutritional product websites.
