Natural Bodybuilding With Charles Tinerino

The year was 1988 when my very good friend, the internationally known and respected Dr. Pete Samra called to tell me that he was promoting the California Natural Bodybuilding Championships in Redondo Beach. Pete went on to say that the “Muscle Preacher” Dennis Charles Tinerino (’67 AAU Mr. America, ’68 NABBA Mr. Universe and Pro Mr. Universe ’81 and former IFBB Mr. Olympia competitor) would be presenting a natural bodybuilding seminar in conjunction with the show.
The seminar spanned the gap of interests of all those in attendance with ease and I decided that when I arrived back home I would write it up as a super-feature for Bob Kennedy’s MuscleMag International. I was pleasantly surprised to find much of the information with regard to training, nutrition and contest preparation was as fresh (today) just as I remembered it to be back then.
