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.

In this edition:
Draper's Back -- Dave describes how he used his favorite exercise to build his phenomenal back and Zane compares it to what worked best for him.

Muscles are Forever -- is Draper's article on his current training and it is one of the most entertaining pieces I've ever read.

The Bomber -- is a song I wrote about a workout I had with Dave in the early 1970s.

Fernandez wins Contest -- finally he takes the first place trophy on his third try. His story of persistence and dedication tells how he did it.

The Contest Thing -- It's getting ridiculous, on one hand men are attracted to wearing Bermuda shorts onstage in physique contests. They think better this than freaky muscle shows.

Freaky Muscle Shows -- at the other extreme is walking flexing mountains of muscle beyond belief, a spectacle to be sure but who wants to look like that? Some people do but they aren't reading this.

Building the Body -- back issues are available and you can get these collectors items at a package discount.
