Natural Bodybuilding

With the original edition of his book "Natural Bodybuilding" (published in 1996), Michael P. Raith laid the foundation for the widespread adoption of natural, doping-free bodybuilding in the German-speaking world. Thanks to the extensive and highly comprehensible explanations covering all relevant areas of the bodybuilding sport, the book has become a standard work for serious bodybuilders. Raith's insights on optimal nutrition and his body-type specific tips make the book a sought-after reference for athletes of various orientations and experience levels, both in recreational and competitive sports. The original edition was recently out of print. In this fully revised new edition, all the information and tips for natural bodybuilders are once again compiled in one work. In addition to fundamental knowledge about muscle building, strength training, nutrition, and the risks associated with doping, the book offers various training plans for beginners and advanced athletes. Additionally, Raith provides detailed nutritional strategies for muscle gain, fat loss, and competition diets, along with an illustrated exercise catalog featuring over 50 exercises and their variations.
