What is TRUE Natural BodyBuilding about?

On this website I describe how I have built my physique through TRUE natural bodybuilding. Because of the vast (ab)use of performance enhancing drugs and sports supplements by bodybuilders and so-called natural bodybuilders, I unfortunately have to introduce and define the following new term:
"TRUE Natural BodyBuilding" (short: TNBB), which basically means bodybuilding without EVER having used ANY performance enhancing drugs or supplements that do not occur in a normal healthy daily diet.

I describe on this website everything about my personal training and diet, and I explain my vision on many aspects of bodybuilding such as training, exercises, equipment, nutrition, supplements, losing body fat, doping, and injuries. Please note that anything on this website is only my personal opinion, based on more than 25 years of experience as a true natural bodybuilder and my understanding as a scientist with a Ph.D. in biophysics/biochemistry. I don't claim that what I tell on this website is the only correct approach.

It is not the intention of this website to thoroughly explain every aspect of bodybuilding or to become very scientific. If you want to know more about one specific subject, I recommend you to search the internet, which is full of detailed information. I also recommend you to use the free encyclopedia wikipedia.org as a general source of information.

Some of the main goals of this website are to promote TRUE natural bodybuilding, to tell you how I have built my true natural physique, to explain some differences between true natural and drugged bodybuilding in terms of nutrition and training, to help you figure out what is really important to reach your bodybuilding goals, what is not important, and what is total nonsense. And believe me, there are lots of nonsense and irrelevant things being told and written in the world of bodybuilding.

As you will notice while reading this website, I am a strong believer in the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. Building a great physique through true natural bodybuilding is much simpler than you might think. It does however require very strong dedication and persistence, and the art to figure out what is essential and what not.

TNBB Slogan - Motto

One picture showing what True Natural BodyBuilding (TNBB) really stands for:

true natural bodybuilding slogan - motto

Because there is one thing that is more valuable than being strong and muscular, and that is being alive and healthy. Not only when you are 20 or 30 years old, but also when you are 50 and above. And believe me, the candle of life burns fast, very fast.

TNBB is a statement against the chemicalization of our sport, against the brainwashing of our youngsters by the fitness industry to believe that without supplements you limit your muscular development, and against bodybuilding competitions where harmful drug abuse is rewarded and encouraged. And yes, it is a scientific fact that steroids damage your sexual and cardiovascular health with often life-shortening consequences, as explained in this video.

VO2 Max for Bodybuilders

Since I value health more than appearance my interest and involvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and training has increased a lot over the past years. Your VO2 max, a measure for your cardiorespiratory fitness, is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption your body can attain during intense physical exertion and can be measured by a bicycle or treadmill ergometer test. Your VO2 max is a strong, independent, and modifiable risk factor for many health threats such as premature death, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. Traditionally VO2 max results are normalized by body weight, which introduces a negative bias against people with higher body weight, such as bodybuilders. However, the correct way to normalize VO2 max for comparison with people of different body size is by normalizing with body length squared (in L/min.m2). Read everything about VO2 max for bodybuilders.See reference chart below.
