Hosts John Hansen and Mike Neumann welcome newly retired natural champion Leroy Perry to NBBR.
Though he started working out at 9 years old for "self protection" in his L.A. neighborhood, young Leroy Perry found he really enjoyed the pump and feeling the strength. He continued working out, playing football, went into the Marines and got serious about competing at age 26.
When the subject of "special enhancement" came up among some of the guys at the gym, Leroy immediately turned away and kept working out, eating clean and pitting his "Natural Look" against the specially-enhanced "unNatural" bodies around him. Though some of his strategies are a little off-beat they’ve served Leroy well throughout his life and bodybuilding career.
Tune in to hear what this true Natural Champion has to say. He’s not shy.

Brent’s from Decatur Illinois and met John and Mike at, among other events the Natural Illinois Bodybuilding Championships. What has Brent encountered on his way up? What special challenges does he face as a diabetic. What do you think his chances are against the likes of favorite (and recent guest) Kiyoshi Moody, and others?
He’s looking great and is now preparing to make his big debut on the World Stage at the INBA Natural Universe.
Iron Man Magazine’s most popular writer, Jerry Brainum joins hosts John Hansen and Mike "Superhuman" Neumann for an unprecedented third appearance today on Natural Bodybuilding Radio with loads of new information and background on nutrition, supplementation, steroids, and more.
Ever wondered whether guys who’ve used steroids, then stop taking them still enjoy the benefits long after? How about guys who take massive amounts of protein…are they really doing themselves any good, or just flushing good money down the drain? What about the natural bodybuilder taking Growth Hormone…does it do him any good? What if he’s over 40?
These questions and many more are answered by the personable and knowledgeable nutrition writer, Jerry Brainum!
Be sure to visit Jerry’s website where you can get your daily dose of great nutrition information. You can even check-out and buy Jerry’s new books, "Natural Anabolics" and "Muscle Guru Interviews"!
Going all the way back to April of 2004, this was John’s first appearance on the Dave DePew Network when he appeared on Fitness and Nutrition Radio and was interviewed Dave and his colleague, Jeff Kotterman.
Just how did John get his start? What’s the difference between the different Natural sanctioning bodies and their amateur and professional divisions? What drugs are banned? How did "Team Universe" get its start?
These questions and more are answered when John Hansen, Natural Champion meets with Dave DePew for the first time.
Our special guests today come to us from the NANBF. They are NANBF President Fred Rowlett, and Vice President Dave Yeates. You can visit their website at http://www.nanbf.org/
In the early 80’s, the North American National Bodybuilding Association (NANBA), was founded by Jim Evans in Minnesota with a goal to promote drug tested body building shows.
Through the 80’s and early 90’s, under the leadership of Jim Evans and later Lee Graese, the association became the leader in the drug free movement. The organization then changed leadership and the momentum was lost. Problems developed and the organization began to struggle.
In 1994, the state chair people, regional chair people, and promoters met and decided that a new direction, and in essence, a new beginning was required. Three individuals stepped forward to head up the reorganization: Scot Dickerson from Des Moines, Iowa; Dave Cammon from Flint, MI; and Todd Mills from Omaha, NE. Under their leadership a new organization was formed and the North American National Bodybuilding Federation was born.
