Natural bodybuilding
may refer to one of several types of approach to the sport of
bodybuilding. Most commonly it means bodybuilding without the use of
illegal performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids and human
growth hormone.

banned in natural organizations. Natural bodybuilding organizations
include NANBF (North American Natural Bodybuilding Federation), and the
NPA (Natural physique association). Natural bodybuilders assert that
their method is more focused on competition
