Favorite Bodybuilding DVD's/Books/Whatever

toughnuts · 05-07-2005, 04:33 AM

Well I just wanted to start a thread to see what your guys favorite bodybuilding books or DVD's are. I have heard good things about the book Blood and Guts by Dorian Yates, but I can't seem to get my hands on the damn thing. Every time I try to bid on it the price goes up to past 70 bucks.
I have a good book called Mastery of Hand Strength by John Brookfield. It is a great book if you are interested in grip training. I think I might buy the DVD Ronnie Coleman - The Unbelievable. So the question is what are you guy's favorite books/DVD's??? Thanks.

I haven't read much on bodybuilding, but I read all of Arnolds Bodybuilding Encyclopedia, and I read a lot about doing olympic lifts for sports, namely hockey. Umm...I watched Pumping Iron (who hasn't?).

As far as others go, favorite video is Blood and Guts. Dorian Yates is just THE man, that's all there is to it

Second favorite is Made in Germany. Favorite book is A Warrior's Story by Dorian Yates. I just ordered Anabolics 2005, that may soon be my second favorite

Blood and Guts just gets you so pumped to lift. Dorian's crazy workout partner is half the reason why the vid is so good. Coleman's vids are really good too. Made in Germany is great when Ruhl goes to the grocery store. The look on peoples faces just give me more motivation to lift

Let me know how it is when you get that book.

K_muscle · 05-07-2005, 05:36 AM

How is Dorian's book? Is it like autobiographical or is it training oriented?

Made in Gerymany eh. I will checkout that one too, thanks.

THEKING · 05-07-2005, 04:54 PM

well I just started carrying DVD's on my site and am lucky enough to have access to them at all times

To be honest as a competitor my favorite vids are the Battle for the Olympia. I think it is because of the variety of competitors and different looks they have. Of course you cannot put down the ronnie videos either as he is just a freak of nature!!!!!

The next DVD's I plan on getting are Dimvasion by Kris Dim, Chris Cormier's DVD, and Flex Wheeler's DVD. Hopefully the funds will let me order them on monday.

toughnuts · 05-08-2005, 04:52 AM

Thanks for the reply THEKING.

JournalistBT · 05-09-2005, 11:26 PM

I've read tons of books, actually I've read all of the e books on the net and in the book stores and I cannot say that I have a favorite. I will have a couple books out by next year. Did anyone read Flex Wheeler's book? Not my favorite, but I just skimmed through his. I agree though that Blood and Guts was awesome.

HAYWOOD JABLOME · 05-09-2005, 11:31 PM

Do any of you guys know of any good books on steroids, to gain knowledge on the subject? Just a general reference type.

JournalistBT · 05-09-2005, 11:35 PM

I know about the steroid bible.

There is other info, I'm not the one to ask about steroids though.

Khan, you got a hardcore forum going that covers everything! I'm not going to make many thorough post like last week because I have to save myself for future publications.
