The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding : The Bible of Bodybuilding, Fully Updated and Revised • Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't competed as a bodybuilder since he won the Mr. Olympia title in 1980, but he remains the sport's No. 1 icon. He hosts an annual bodybuilding contest in Columbus, Ohio, and allows a column to be ghost-written under his name in a muscle magazine. Oh yes, he's the governor of California. Today's bodybuilders may have bigger muscles than Arnold ever did, but everyone inside and outside the iron game gives him credit for exponentially broadening the popularity of physique training. Updated edition from the 1985 first edition. In paperback!

BooksForFitness: Always at the top of the list! This book was great when it was written in 1985 and if nothing else, everyone has built their career from Arnold's success, including other authors on bodybuilding. You can find books that imitate this one, the original.  
Lee Haney's Ultimate Bodybuilding Book • An eight-time Mr. Olympia trains some top flight athletes. This book not only describes some of his championship training techniques Haney's but shows how they apply to other athletes.

BooksForFitness: Haney is huge!. This book can take you beyond ordinary if you have the will to endure.




Gorilla Suit: My Adventures in Body Building • A former Mr. Universe, Bob Paris is well known in the field of bodybuilding. In this autobiography he takes readers into that little-understood world, describing how he began lifting weights as a teenager, his struggles to compete as a world-class bodybuilder, and his thoughts on such controversies as the use of steroids and the reactions to his own homosexuality. The book is often fascinating, but it doesn't quite deliver on its promise. By the end readers may find themselves asking questions that aren't answered in the text.

BooksForFitness: It may or may not be what you want to read about bodybuilders. But you won't read it without rethinking what you know about champions.
