Description
"I built my American dream one rep at a time," says Bob Paris in" Gorilla Suit," an unguarded memoir of his rise to the top of the world of professional bodybuilding. 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 show us 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 show more the driving forces behind the business of bodybuilding, including the extraordinary story of the Weider brothers. 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. show lessTags
