Started out kinda slow for me, but now has picked up my interest.
I stopped reading it for a while, but back on it now. (Right around page 200).

Love the stuff about Hoffman and Weedy's battles in the muscle press. Interesting...

power, book was ok but a bit of a disappointment, esp all the comparisons with the miss america contest and all...i'd give it 3 stars out of 5. esp when you compare it to muscletown usa...
