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.
The Spring 2009 issue of Building the Body Quarterly Magazine has been published and is available by subscription. The covers are once again graced by the drawings of Ron Dunn and this issue is filled with photos of Frank at various stages of his career.
Articles include:
1. It's wise to Specialize in the off season – After reaching a physical peak each year Frank asks himself "what still needs to improve in relation to the whole body". In this way he was able to improve proportion, definition and overall development. Here's his most recent training specialization program.
2. Focus on Your Back Side – Don't ignore what you can't see. Bodybuilding competitions are often decided on who has the best back, hamstring and calf development. Photographs of your back side will help you create a complete physique.
