Checking Out : Muscle - Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder (Samuel Wilson Fussell)

Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder.

Looks like an interesting read.

Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder is Samuel Wilson Fussell's experience of 1980s bodybuilding. Although my own copy was a chance find in a charity shop here, Amazon has a 2015 paperback version.


And as the Amazon page notes :

Alternately funny and fascinating, Muscle is the true story of one man's obsession with the pursuit of perfection. With insight, wit, and refreshing candor, Fussell ushers readers into the wild world of juicers and gym rats who sacrifice their lives, minds, bodies, and souls to their dreams of glory in Southern California's so-called iron mecca.

Keen to dive into it.
