The world’s most significant natural bodybuilding competition is a couple of weeks away, Natural Olympia taking place November 10-13, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Italian Professional Natural Bodybuilding Association (PNBA) athlete Luigi Musella gave us insight into his natural bodybuilding background and his training and diet for the 2022 Natural Olympia. Musella stated:

“I plan to arrive at Natural Olympia similar to the previous ones but with some small variations. I have always aimed for a muscular but harmonious, aesthetic body. Therefore at the base of every preparation, I always try to improve symmetries and volumes.

My training is five times a week, training upper three times and two times lower by varying the exercises, intensity, volume, and density. 

The diet is quite balanced, I cycle carbohydrates in the high, medium, and low method. and I prefer carbohydrates such as rice, spelled, pearl barley, wholemeal pasta, and oats, but there is no shortage of potatoes. and also gnocchi, a typical dish in my area made with 0 flour and potatoes.”

Musella says he followed a Mediterranean diet for his Natural Olympia training and diet in the off-season. Although, he admits that he still eats his favorite foods, including pizza, which he eats twice a week.
