    Bodybuilding books?

    I'm always looking to further my knowledge of bodybuilding. Has anyone read any good books about nutrition, training, bodybuilding, chemicals, etc.? I read muscular development and that's about it.

    Arnold's Encyclopedia and Men's Body Sculpting are 2 of the best books I've seen/read.

    The MBS book is much more current n goes in to great detail on diet, however no book compares to this site.
    If a beginner were to ask, I would highly recommend these books, but for many on here, the books are just too basic. I think most regulars on here are much more advanced in BB knowledge than the average gym go-er and though these would be a refresher or provide some motivation, they aren't going to teach you much that you don't already know.

    On the other hand, I would like to get my hands on The Steroid Bible. It's pretty pricey though. They go for almost $200 for a used paperback. Anyone ever read this? Is it really worth all the hype?

    I have Arnold's encyclopedia of bodybuilding and it's interesting but very outdated. I think my old man pirated the steroid bible and printed it out so ill see if he still has it. I definitely don't need books aimed at beginners, was just curious to see if their were any books on more advanced principles.

    The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding
    http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-B...6226852&sr=8-1

    Men's Body Sculpting
    http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Body-Scul...6226852&sr=8-5

    Body Sculpting Bible for Men
    http://www.amazon.com/Body-Sculpting...6227106&sr=1-2

    Stay away from this one. It is loaded with fake reviews and is nothing more then an advertisement for a website.

    There is another good book "The Laymans Guide to Steroids " is pretty good as well. You can get it for free online from some torrent sites.
