I know this has been discussed before, but the search function sucks big time and i cannot find any thread.
I am looking for some good books about BB, anything from BB culture like "Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder" or "Pumping Iron", training books like "Starting Strength", Nutrition (Chris Aceto?) or William Llewellyn's "Anabolics".
Just give me a hint on your favorites.

I read that the 'Mayor of Bodybuilding' wrote 'Schmoeing 101', with a foreword by Evan Centopani and Lonnie Teper, but the pages were stuck together when the draft reached the publishers and they turned it down.
Seriously DK, you can't go wrong with stuff by Chris Aceto, Bill Starr and Arnie's encyclopaedia. Are you talking about ebooks or hard copies you can buy in bookstores?
-
Definitely get the Positions of Flexion books/movies if you can. Wish I had kept them...Re-shaped how I view training. In fact Dorians routines were based on POF principals (though I do not think he specifically did POF, just a variation).
-
Muscle by Jon Hotten was a good read.
-
Historical:
Duchaine's Underground Steroid Handbook. Always fun to read it from an historical prospective. Some stuff is still good in it, other things not some much. But Duchaine writes with a wit and charm about the topic which his fanboys rarely capture now a days.
Muscletown USA- Scholarly account history of York Barbell, who literally controled olympic lifting, powerlifting and bodybuilding from the start through the 1960's. Just a good book all around, and not a dry read like many historical readings. It's gossipy, but in a polite way.
Others I have not read, but are said to be good-
Muscle Wars by Rick Wayne.
Muscle, Smoke, and Mirrors by Randy Roach- Somewhat like Muscletown, but broader, and a bit more gossipy.
Chemical Pink- Like a female version of Muscle: Confessions......
-----
Bodybuilding:
Still like the original Poliquin Principles. Charles is a bit nuts now, but the old stuff is golden.
----------------
Powerlifting:
Starr's The Strong Shall Survive. All other 5 x5 programs are pretenders to the throne.
Inside Powerlifting, by Terry Todd. Good look at old school lifters and programs, but has gotten very expensive on the used book scene.
Fred Hatfield's Powerlifting and Bodybuilding books are still pretty good reads.
Anthony Ditillo's stuff is excellent.
---
Olympic Lifting:
Artie Dreschler's Weightlifting Encyclopedia. Everything about olympic lifting, but a dry read.
Tommy Kono's Weightlifting, Olympic Style. Great lifter, great teacher.
Greg Everett's Olympic Weightlifting. Good book.
-------
Nutrition:
I like the stuff Lyle McDonald puts out.
Duchaine's Bodyopus is a good read still, after all these years.

Yes, but i have read most of this stuff, and i was looking for sth "new", even if it's old. ;D ;D
I was thinking about buying them online at amazon, but if i can download them (for a first look, obviously, and then i will buy them right away ::) ::) ) i don't mind as well.
Thanks a lot, there's a lot of stuff in there that i didn't know yet!!
-
Brawn and Beyond Brawn by Stuart McRobert were solid, no nonsense books.
-
Anabolics 2010 and the gh15 bible
-
Anabolics 2010 and the gh15 bible
That's more "the practical guide to Bodybuilding". Although the Bible has a lot of entertainment and BB culture as well, but i have also red that one (every night before bed).
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Why would you read a bb book? Personally I believe all bits of interesting info and truth have been posted on this site in the past 7-8 years. The reality of drugs, the lies, smoke and mirrors and not last the omnipresence of gay. It's a reality. This whole "industry is an illusion" much like our society today. As we get older we start seeing through the smoke and past the mirrors.

Because i am bored and i feel that "reading a book" is more intellectual than "surfing the internet".
Also, i feel like i should spend more time with old time, offline hobbies.
Is that a good enough answer? ;D ;D ;D

I agree in a sense. I do believe we should read more and I started looking for more books. I write one so it also helps me research wise albeit the pleasurable kind. A bodybuilding book though? Come on.

Dude, i have to read all sorts of shitty stuff at work, i really can relax when i just sit on the couch and read about bench pressing or how someone from Austria becomes the best bodybuilder ever. ;D ;D

If someone in the industry decides to write a book telling all, I will surely buy it. But that day will never come.

So Nasser's book isn't coming out? Fuck, I'm crushed. All jokes aside, I don't get why nobody did already. I can see guys like Arnold, Columbu and others not doing it 'cause they built a part or all of their reputation on this business. But a lot of others fell in the gutter after years and years of gay for pay and drug abuse of all kinds. And none has come forward with a book about it.

合成代謝類固醇
维基百科，自由的百科全书
化學結構類似天然的類固醇激素睾酮 , 17β-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one.
同化激素（Anabolic steroid）亦称蛋白同化激素是一种能够夠促進細胞的生長與分化，使肌肉擴增，甚至是骨頭的強度與大小的甾体激素。同化激素是由天然来源的雄性激素经结构改造，降低雄激素活性，提高蛋白同化活性而得到的半合成激素类药物。睪酮是最為常見的天然来源的蛋白同化激素，也是天然的雄性激素。
[编辑]效果
多數的同化激素藉由睪酮的活動而產生效用，如合成代謝，與男性化（virilization）的效應。 同化性效用的例子:
促進 氨基酸中蛋白質生物合成
促進 肌肉 變大變壯
促進 食慾
促進 骨骼 的生長
刺激骨髓，促進紅血球的產生。
雄性化效用的例子:
女性陰蒂 的成長(陰蒂增大) 以及男孩陰莖的成長 (成人無論施打多少劑量的雄性素（androgens）都無法增長。
毛髮 ( 鬍鬚, 胸部以及四肢 的毛髮)的增長。
聲調的提高 , 聲音變低沈。
增加 性慾
壓抑內生的性激素
保護精子生成的過程
許多雄激素藉由新陳代謝送到身體中的化合物（同時也和雌激素交互作用），產生一些負面效應。
加速孩童骨骼的老化
男性胸部的成長
能夠促進雄性化的荷爾蒙可以有許多用處，不過在使用的過程中往往出現干擾的雌性化反應。許多合成的同化性類固醇是被設計為能夠製造出更多的雄性激素而非產生雌性化反應。 其他副作用，包括了高血壓，膽固醇上升，皮膚痤瘡，提早禿頭，性功能減退以及睪丸萎縮。男性使用者有可能會長出胸部。女性使用者則是體毛增長，聲音變低沈，胸部變小，陰蒂漲大以及經期不規律。部分副作用是無可避免的。對青少年使用者來說，可能會造成骨骼停止生長。對於長期使用者來說，肝功能會嚴重的受損。

Do you think there is a section about trolling the internet in your 50's looking for clips of steroid musclemen to post on forums all day?

You should start by reading Homer, Ovid, Virgil, Shakespeare, Milton, Holy Bible, Livy, etc. Anything written by a bodybuilder should be stored as back up in the event of a toilet paper shortage.

I wanna read it on the toilet.
I read nearly all the other shit you mentioned there at some time or the other in my life, do you really think you become a better human when you read "Shakespeare" or some stupid translation of "Homer" instead of Chuck Palahniuk or Tom Clancy?
I want to put my brain into "standby" when i read in my free time, bodybuilding books are just fine for that. ;D ;D

This is a great read but you can tell Wendy Leigh just has it in for Arnold and received most of her information from those who did as well (mainly Rick Wayne), she offered Barbara Outland $25,000 to put her name to what she said (which was fuck all) so who knows what she offered RW to exaggerate shit because he was jealous
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BWh9GDnSL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
You can get it for like $5-8 on Abebooks and that's shipped
However i am still interested in what is said in this book does anyone know where to get it cheap? Cheapest i could find on the net was over $50 shipped...or can anyone give us a break down on here on what was said in it

The Rick wayne book covers Weider and and general bodybuilding silliness from the late 60's- mid 80's. It's gossipy and apparently Wayne has a nice writing style. Check Ebay, copies show up in the $20-30 range, but I've been too cheap and not interested enough to buy a copy. If you're in the U.S., you might be able to get it on inter-library loan.
Another book that is said to be good is "The Iron Game" by David Carter, published in the late 70's, it covers all the nastiness of Venice Beach and California bodybuilding from that time. It is expensive used as well.

Yes, it's a good read. I wouldn't say it's written for the bodybuilding audience - there's nothing 'new' here you haven't heard before, but it's well written and a nice look at some of the personalities of a few years ago.

Yes, it's a good read. I wouldn't say it's written for the bodybuilding audience - there's nothing 'new' here you haven't heard before, but it's well written and a nice look at some of the personalities of a few years ago.
It's a positive book on bodybuilding and looks at it from an outsiders view. It also looks at different personalities in the sport. I really liked reading it especially since the previous BBing book i'd read was Flex Wheelers imaginary tales.

This is a great read but you can tell Wendy Leigh just has it in for Arnold and received most of her information from those who did as well (mainly Rick Wayne), she offered Barbara Outland $25,000 to put her name to what she said (which was fuck all) so who knows what she offered RW to exaggerate shit because he was jealous

More i think about it who has $25,000 to splash about to some minor source for a book that wouldn't make that much? Obviously this was funded by the democrat party.
