More about the book
This is the first-ever, honest, behind-the-scenes look into the world of professional bodybuilding and what the actual life of a bodybuilder is like. Paris shows us the heat of the competition, explains what drives these athletes to push their bodies to the limit, and beyond, and discusses the price bodybuilders pay for this perfection, which includes the use of dangerous growth drugs. This is a story about chasing a dream, being willing to do anything to get that dream, and then growing frustrated with the world that dream is lived in. It is the discovery that, after years of climbing a mountain and finally reaching the top, perhaps on reconsideration it was the wrong mountain to begin with.
