About This 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. Bob 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. Paris also looks at the driving forces behind the business of bodybuilding, including the extraordinary story of the Weider brothers. Bob Paris has held the titles Mr Los Angeles, Mr Southern California and Mr Universe.
