The Bodybuilder's Nutrition Book

[BOOEY]

Anyone read this book by Franco Columbu .. just wondering if it has any valuable information in it ???

 

[BrandonXJ]

is that the dude they showed moving that little car in italy or wherever in "pumping iron"?

 

[BOOEY]

Yep

<------------- is Franco.

Franco rules, I'm close to buying the book but I don't want to find out it has no valuable info in it .... ahh, fuck it, gonna get it

 

[KillahBee]

I would assume that his book would be quality, just based on who he is and what he has accomplished. He is a doctor also, not sure what kind tho.

 

[KillahBee]

Chiropractor, actually. I think.

Alright for anyone that cares, I ordered it off Amazon a short while ago, along with Arnold's New Encyclopedia and Education of a Bodybuilder. Should give me something to read for the next few weeks. But I'll update this post once I get the book w/ any valuable info it may have

i read the book months ago. it has the standard info on diet and training. not very lengthy but still worth reading at least once. the book also has info on vitamins, minerals and supplements that are of use to bodybuilders.

 

[chewyxrage]

how long ago was it written?

 

[therobber]

^ published in '85

 

[BOOEY]

Yeah I just started readin it, it's not that long. But just skimming throught, it seems to have some quality info. Nothing groundbreaking so far. I wrote up a thread on this forum that concerns pineapples. I'll make new threads w/ any important info as I go along.

heard its not that good. like he says his bulking diet consists of like 3 eggs and toast with a bannana in the morning, and says if you follow this diet you will grow. i eat 8 eggs 1 ouatmeal and apple juice just as a cutting diet.

some of the information is dated. he also claims to never have used steriods
