Natural Bodybuilding Advice? any books?

[mikeuk]

Hi

I'm 32 6' and 13.5 Stone... Used to use roids (and regret) and was 16 Stone built.

I am now looking to get back up to even 14.5 Stone Naturally... but with no steroids!

Is there any really good natural bodybuilding books??? most are gear infested..

Also is training one body part a week enough???

I don't wanna be 16 Stone again, but just natural and bigger.

wtf is a stone? Silly Brits! Just kidding, its like 22 pounds, isnt it?

Best book for exercise descriptions: "The Insiders Tell-All Handbook" by Stuart McRobert

Best diet book: Ultimate Diet 2.0 by Lyle McDonald (www.bodyrecomposition.com)

IMO, there really arent any good books on lifting for the natural, layperson. You'll get more info from the "Tribute to JohnSmith" sticky on this site than you would get from 20 lifting books at the bookstore. I trongly advise you to read that sticky, as it will help you in many different areas.

As for training bodyparts 1x week, Im not for it. Id rather see people hitting them 2-3x/wk. Anecdotal and empiral evidence shows more gains from more frequent lifting.

Damn it Bob it's 14lbs. silly Americans. Damn, sorry I'm making fun of myself also, I had to look it up.

Hey man I'm 6' also but around 17 stones as you say. I'm very athletic and still play one mean short stop. Muscle weight doesn't take up near the room being a total fat ass does.

Is the Bush album "16 Stone" a quirky Brittish play on words relating to weight, or is it an obscure reference to rocks?

I'm 17 years old, and weigh 230 lbs. I'd really like to gain a good 20-25 lbs. so I can get a football scholarship after high school next year. After reading everything about side effects forget AAS so what can anybody suggest? I lift 5 times a week, eat alot, drink 2 protein shakes a day.
