 | An excellent biographical history of bodybuilding (part 1) Aug 11, 2006 |
If you are interested in the history of bodybuilding, you will find this book interesting and useful. There are several reasons that I would recommend this book to hardcore bodybuilding fans:
(1) It comprehensively presents both the biographical profiles and training routines of the great competitive bodybuilders in the past 60 years; this point alone makes this book unique in its presentation of the sport's history and coverage of information;
(2) The evolution of the sport in terms of the quality of the bodybuilding physique and the paradigm shifts of the training methods (e.g. from lower training volume in 50's and 60's to higher volume in 70's and 80's and back to lower volume since 90's) is clearly presented;
(3) Unlike other bodybuilding books that have been covering the facts that most, if not all, of the professional bodybuilders are performance enhancement drugs takers, this book accepts this as an established fact; you can occasionally find phrases like "pharmacologically enhanced" and "chemically engineered" in the book, words which are taboos in conventional bodybuilding books which try to tell readers that they can build a superhuman body with training and nutrition alone. Indeed, this book includes the profiles of two bodybuilders that were alledgely killed by overdosing of bodybuilding drugs. I think this book should be credited with its boldness because on the one hand, these two bodybuiders (like other pros who are taking drugs) should be given the respect they deserve; on the other hand, I think the younger readers should not have the illusion that the bodies of those modern bodybuilders are natural. | | | Write your own review about Muscle Quest: Training Secrets of the Super Stars
