Yay!!! I've been waiting for this book for so long and it's finally here. I always thought it was going to be an autobiography but it appears to be a cross between an autobiography and one of those lose weight & feel great type books by Suzanne Somers. Egghh, I really hope it's not. Anyway, it's Sergio so it's going to be good damn it.

SERGIO!!!!

SERGIO!!!!

I've been waiting for a long time as well. I get the feeling it may be along the line of Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder in that it's a cross between an autobiography and a weight training book. In any case, I'm REALLY lookin' forward to this book!  8)

Supposedly some good dirt, behind the scenes stuff including contest politics. Really don't care whether he had help writing it.

Apparently some good material on politics. Really don't care whether he has help writing it.

because if there's one man i feel like consulting about politics, it's a guy whose life accomplishment is a few mr olympia titles in the 1970s. i think after that i'll pick up nolan ryan's book on welfare reform.

Umm, I think Pumpster meant Bodybuilding Politics. ie, Sergio, Mentzer, etc getting screwed by Weider.

wtf, why did they morph  pictures..thats pathetic..sergio doesnt need morphing. Website and book look like cheap shit also...(going by the cover and website layout). Sergio is great but it should have been better done.

agreed. wtf? calves too obviously morphed and it looks stupid.

if they can't even get one of his best photos straight, how much cred can i expect from the rest of the book. i won't be buying it.

yes, i think sergio should have gotten more professional people to do it. the morphing of the pics will backfire. Look at serge nubrets website and book, they are lot more professionally done. Sergios deserves better.

"Magoo" sounding like a bozo; Oliva only won "a few" Olympias because of politics. Is that hard to figure out? He wasn't the only black BB in that category. Worth reading so that naifs like you can figure it out.

come on, tell the truth. sergio was only ever interested in sergio.

he knew that he didn't have the discipline to compete with the new standard of physique, mass with cuts and moved on.

one of many mistakes this man made. now he's bitter and twisted. how original.

"beast" the racist as usual with no content-didn't follow the scene then, monster misinterpretations as to what happened, revising history as he goes along, has nothing. ;D

He was big enough that it's hard to tell when pics are morphed. This one's not. Early 80s; by then he'd lost some lower body and lat size.

Here`s a different pose,but similar pose,from the same show,thats definitely not morphed.Its the WABBA show he beat Bertil in,and what makes that photo on page 1 look strange is that they have changed the colour of his trunks,he wore red trunks in this contest.
