What is Natural Bodybuilding?
There are vast differences in the training techniques (both mental and physical) of Natural versus non-Natural Bodybuilders. Click here for the most comprehensive list of all Natural Bodybuilding & Figure competitions.
Natural Bodybuilder:
- Drug-free athlete - no steroids, growth hormone (HGH), testosterone boosters, prescription diuretics, and so on.
- There is a banned substance list, the same used by our Olympic Athletes, regulated by the IOC (international Olympic Committee).
- Physique athlete that uses weight training, diet, and proper rest to achieve maximum muscle mass with low body-fat.
- Supplements such as creatine, protein powder, BCAAs, glutamine, caffeine, and arginine are widely used by the natural athlete.
Bodybuilder (non-Natural):
- Basically no rules on what can be used to achieve the results a competitor desires. Often these competitors use steroids, growth hormone (HGH), testosterone boosters, prescription diuretics, and many others.
- Larger industry (more $) due to the appeal of the excessive supplement industry and magazines.
- Physique athlete that uses weight training & diet to achieve maximum muscle mass with low body-fat.
