Diary of a Natural Bodybuilder

I'll start out this review by saying my name is Joe Thorington. I'm a 24 year old male, and I'm posting through our family account under my mother's name. This book is hands down the best out there for someone looking to lose weight and retain muscle mass, which when you think about it, is everyone's goal right? From the Natural Bodybuilder to the stay at home mom to the construction working male or female it's always the same goal. The only pre-qualification for this book to have the biggest affect on you is you should be drug-free and willing to put in the work. It's a bible for Natural Bodybuilders and perfect for your everyday lifter trying to get into the best shape of their life. I went from 235/24% body fat to 190/10% bodyfat in the course of a few months. Talk about muscle retaining! John Hansen's book is a must have.

As far as bodybuilding books go this is one of the best I have read --and I have read sooooo- many over the years --now why you may ask is it so good? Well----in this world of crap and fluff and confusion on how to train and eat to build real natural muscle -this books gives it to you with no frills. It is basicaly hard heavy training and good food and there is no getting away from that. John gives you a life long pursuit insight into competing and being the best you can be. You get a warts and all look -mistakes -things that worked and things that did not -this will help you like you would not believe. This is a book every serious natural bodybuilder should own.

If you are an up and coming bodybuilder or even a veteran. You'll love this book. John writes in detail everything he did as he trained for bodybuilding competitions throughout his life. Everything that he ate including supplements. Its very inspirational if you are training for competition or even just to look good and stay in shape. John will show you how you can build a championship physique, without drugs. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic book. I read it straight through in one sitting. What I like best about John is he is the real deal. He has lived the life he writes about and the training advice he gives throughout the book he had done and experienced. He is not some internet guru he is a world class bodybuilder that has lived it his entire life. I can't recommend this book enough. Order it today, you will be glad you did. Pete Pingle
