Building the Body: 2007 - Winter

Building the Body is published 4 times a year and gives a new slant on bodybuilding. It’s all about how to get the most from your training by having a holistic approach, paying attention to all aspects of your workouts, nutrition, attitude and recuperation. Unlike other bodybuilding mags that contain 75% advertising, it contains no paid advertising, just helpful information based on my personal experience and that of my clients.

This issue explains how I trained for my peak in detail. Following a 3 way split: pushing muscles, legs, pulling muscles, I trained a day and rested two days the last two weeks preceding photos and tensed the muscles a lot instead. My legs got better than ever due to consistent use of the Leg Blaster for the past 25 years and lots of one legged and 2 legged extensions done once a week. I was unable to do more than one hour total aerobics a week due to a hip injury, but it is now healing thanks to Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy which is explained in this issue. Here's the contents:
