Dave is less than 2 weeks away from the NORTH AMERICANS now (pics taken tonite)
first pic is insane!

Dave is a warrior no doubt about it..............
-
I would bet the house he is as gay as they come, the facial hair style is a dead give away! :D
-
No offense to him, but he just has terrible genetics for arms...

yea clear skin and a head of hair although its shaved yea he looks real unhealthy ::)
-

worrying about the particular configuration of hair follicles on a mans face and what it means sexually= gay!!
-
I agree that red skin can't be a good sign. And his right shoulder seems to have a weird shape to it.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, that's you in those pics?? no wonder you had a hissy fit over the facial hair.
Carb depleted and having to pluck those hairs one at a time must be annoying as hell. Let it go until the show, one less thing to stress you out and take your mind off of your training and diet ::)
-

its august. cant red skin be a "sign" of having been in the sun for christs sake?!?!?!
and the weird shape to my shoulder is known as..... "round"
hope this helps.....dave p

Brutal honesty.

You are the only 40+ year old man I know who
1) Uses "2" for "to" in his writing, and
2) Uses "4 shits and giggles" in any manner.
Either you're a middle school girl using text messages in choir class, or you think you are.
-
lmao
why is that funny
-
this is great condition for 40 year old or for any age to that matter,,to be honest with you back is lookin better than kamali

DAVE WILL WIN

Keep the shirt on 'dave'
-

why would anyone wear such a shirt Dave is wearing? it looks ridiculously big. More like something to wear when women go sleeping or something. It does hide his midsection well, making him look better than he is.
Props on the conditioning though.
Peace
D
-
same old same old with Davey boy, good condition but no V taper, small funky shaped arms, very small legs with zero sweep and barrel stomach.

Maybe it fit better before dieting down? ;) And women wouldn't wear that to bed silly, our boobs would be hangin out all over....why bother? lol
And he has shown his midsection in the other photos. I doubt if you think his condition is good...that his midsections wouldn't be in the same ballfield.
Dave looks great for 2 weeks out and I think he's going to do very well this time around. I AM EXPECTING TO SEE RTB3! Ya hear that Dave-O? ;)

too much time shaping your facial hair = gay
too much time shaping your facial hair = gay + ten years later = straight
the formula still works with any of the following (earings, highlights, peircing nipples, pierced, tribal tats, cool neighborhoods, fake tan, shaved chest, short hair, long hair, goatee, beard, scruff, blah blah blah....etc etc.)
-
I'm glad 'Pulcinella' kept his shirt on - his gut is almost Ronnie sized. Luckily bodybuilding judges don't care about that, so he should do well.
-
DAVE, YOU LOOK AWESOME!!! Wish I could come up to Cleveland to cheer you on...

Are you saying Columbus would be one of those guys who cheers the loudest when the competitors onstage hitch up their trunks to reveal ripped glutes, Sars?
-
Top 5 for sure. Conditioning is never an issue for Dave. He's always one of if not the best conditioned in his class. Dave you just doing the Heavies or are you doing the Masters as well?
-

hey, bro. hope your prep is going well this year....you will definitely crack the top 5 this year based on your shape and if your conditioning is there. im sure you will come in shape!!
im focusing only on the masters this year. not doing the open, although if dzulboy keeps calling me "old man", im gonna cross over at the last second!!!! lol!!

not sure...plenty of figure girls though....thats just as good!! last year there were tons of hot figure girls there.....like any national show.
-
You are ready dave, now dont do any of those silly I-wanna-fuck-it-all-up-in-the-last-minute carbups ! ;D
not a chance!! been doing this too long. i have the last week down to a science. i never deviate from the formula and it works every time.
ive seen people meltdown the last week and completely ruin their look in 48 hours....crazy!!!
-
i live in cleveland too. there will be many hot fitness girls there.
hopefully not too many manyl female bb's though.

Hey Dave...you look great bro, better than ever! Don't listen to the jealous scumbags. This is YOUR year....kick some ass!
-

hi dave.
-
Dave, the next time you create a gimmick account, dont make it so obvious. Something like "you look good" might be believable, but "Man i love that 28 inch waist and glad you dont have a huge bulging GH gut" is a little over the top.
;D

Actually no, Dave. There are several "children" (for the lack of a better word) on getbig that create separate accounts to either compliment or insult others, so they are not flamed for doing so under their "real" account. ;)

Thanks for the compliment but I'm sitting out this year. Had far too much going on and barely got to the gym at all in the past 5 months. So no NA's for me. I'll be doing the USA's next year. I do have to requalify though first so I'll find something a few weeks before the USA's. Good luck to you. Masters you should wipe up in for sure. You would be tough in the open as well as you were last year.

where is the pic showing his gut extending past his chest?

Arms look different from most, but I don't know if they look bad. I've never seen the guy in a show before. looks to have the conditioning ready easily.
-
Never heard of this guy but he obviously has walked the walk, and is in very good condition. Forearms are outrageous (dwarf upper arm!) in the first pic. Good Luck, imagine when this dude dries out for final prep! RRRIIPPPEEDDDDD!
-
Great job on conditioning - watch the shows not many competitors can get in this kind of shape!
Lookin good Dave good luck at your show.

Why aren't you a pro?

A quick piece of advice...nothing, and I mean NOTHING, makes a man look more insecure than questioning another man's sexuality. It's weak.
Just so you know.
-
He seems like a class act. Ideal look for getting the ladies.

or gay. Sometimes when a man is question another man's sexuality it's because they are unsure of, or question their own. ;)
And there is a lot of questioning on this board, lol. ;D

Although that is clincally true I don't think that is generally the case here. I think that it comes from a lack of confidence and maturity more than an uncertainty about orientation. Let's face it, conversation here is about at the level of a Junior High lunch table.

Conditioning is great, just wasn't there when they handed out the "good genes"...This is what happens when ya leave the room...

Drugs, drugs and more drugs.
[i don't doubt he worked extremely hard, but without drugs he'd be no bigger than Alexxx or Bast]

exactly, i wonder what will stay from it when they go natural.

You have no idea how hard.

Drugs, drugs and more drugs.

I realize a lot of people are against drugs here, but give it a break. It is getting old and tired. The people here want to discuss bodybuiling, not just natural bodybuilding.
If you want to pull a Norma Ray like Erik Bui then you guys should all join up and do something about it.

I don't care that he built his physique using steroids. Its just i'm an ex juicer and i know the difference steroids make. Therefore i don't buy all the 'superhuman effort' bullshit.

answer this for me, how long u think someone should reach upper genetic potential when training and eating perfectly as a natural?
-
When will the self-righteous preachy "ex-juicers" buzz off?
Yes, I'm talking to you, Strap-on Boy...
-
Mike, do you have any pictures from the shows that Dave did in the beginning?
Here's a couple from the early years. Way back in caveman times...the 1980's.
-

That just means you didn't put in the superhuman effort.
-

Train as hard as you can for four or five years then get yourself 'on'.
That just means you didn't put in the superhuman effort.
Why? I'll say it again - put Alexxx or Bast on a Testoviron / Deca / Anadrol combo and watch them EXPLODE!!!

Amen! It is SOOOO tired. Plus it makes you look like a jealous wannabe.
News flash!!! Bodybuilding is an art form/sport that uses the combined knowledge of physiology, weight training, nutrition and chemistry to push the human body beyond its natural limits. Surprise! If you don't like that you shouldn't be here.
-

thank you! i will stay natural, but now i know i got alot of time ahead of me before i reach my upper limits.

we all know what steroids can and cannot do, its just getting old from all the guys who are hating on it. All the infighting is getting old and its not helpfull. We should all break camp and take sides then I guess. Whats the point of continuing on and on about the same subject. Im not just pointing at you ,its a lot of guys.
I think the only time its appropriate to say All Drugs on this board is when some young dude does roids with no foundation, no technique, no skill level at all, their just bloated messes...and those guys are obvious
-
DAVE looks great in crouching shot,thats probably late 80's or early nineties,has the matarazzo do'.see how harder and leaner he has gotten and achieved after many years of training and "prep" supp's.to stay with it after all the bad fashions,supps clean and unnnatural,and watch taking your body all throughout each phase that's rare.20 yrs of it that's half his life,cool....

I appreciate your points, but alot of kids might look at his physique [or any other pro], and think they could be as big by eating chicken and using creatine. Getbig is bodybuildings reality check.
I certainly don't hate him, or any other bodybuilder [except Shawn], but i hate it when they [or their flunkies] try and make themselves into modern supermen. Pulcinella trains no harder than most natrual Getbiggers, and the only reason he's a monster is because of his cycle. You know it, i know, he knows it, his dealer knows it.
I love bodybuilding - but i'm realistic about what it is. A druggy freakshow.
[final point: he looked alot better when he was younger!]
-

I agree about the kids part. but we cannot live afraid for kids...They will learn eventually and its their parents job not Getbig's.

WTF? Enough with the all drugs already. Check out Billy "Guns" if you think steriods will make you a great bodybuilder. At six foot four the delusional cuntsickle competed as a middleweight and under the infinate training / dieting wisdom of Dave "Fake GH" Palumbo which kind of makes it all that much funnier. The day Billy "All Drugs" Guns beats Dave Pulcinella I'll chant All Drugs right along side all the haters on this board.
-
Pulcinella trains no harder than most natrual Getbiggers
I understand the Natural BB mindset but I guarantee that "most natural getbiggers" training for a year or two don't even come close to the level of training and discipline that Dave has had for over 20 years. There's no comparison.
Beyond that, why are the natural fans always trying to put the other BBs down? You don't see any posts saying, "No drugs," when a natural guy posts his pics!
-
Ok... see now THIS
(http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=163486.0;attach=188266;image)
is ALL DRUGS.
I'm fairly certain Dave can take him in any show. There's obviously a lot more to bodybuilding than Testoviron Depot.

It was actually only 8 weeks...and 27 years.

thank you! i will stay natural, but now i know i got alot of time ahead of me before i reach my upper limits.
haha..some of us are pushing that boundary :)
oddly enough, I am taking less supplements now that when I started.. apart from a post work out shake I eat normally.

How much time (daily) does Dave spend on his beard?...................

being 1) an "ex juicer"...or 2), preparing your body to be onstage against the best in the nation...are about as different as preparing for the "tour de france" or riding your bike to the corner store....you dont have a clue what it takes and never will!!

hahahha, dude gimme a fuccking break, you come off like you're Jay Cutler preparing for the Olympia, you're a 42 year old local level NPC guy who weighs 205 onstage with 16 inch arms and no quad sweep.

Nahhh................... ..lol!
i like Dave's "artistic" expressions in his facial hair
(me im wayyy to lazy to spend all that time "shaping" my beard)

tell me why Dave is still pining away at the level he is and has no quad sweep or arm size at age 42 then.

This would make a great cover for the DVD Raising The Bar Three!
(plus you could throw in some beard grooming tips in the bonus tracks)
-

I have a better idea...why don't you try to put down the Twinkies and actually attempt to get yourself anywhere NEAR the kind of shape it takes to get on a pro stage. Show us the results. Then we might respect your opinions. Till then you are no better than a Monday morning quarterback who has never been on the field in his life telling his buddies at work what the coach SHOULD have done last night.

dude, its just a goatee with a chin strap. it takes me less than a minute to shave it, every 3rd day or so.

why isn't Dave on a "pro stage" then? hahahaa, i don't eat Twinkies either, why don't you show you have some balls and post a picture of yourself? ;D
Ha ha nothing. Big deal, I slipped when I meant to type a "National Stage". You knew what I meant.
There's no point in me posting a pic. I'm in pretty good shape for a guy in my 40s but I'm not a bodybuilder. Just a regular guy who has been around bodybuilding long enough to know the real deal.
And once again you've avoided addressing the fact that you have no passion in life other than posting here.
Next!

hahahha, dude gimme a fuccking break, you come off like you're Jay Cutler preparing for the Olympia, you're a 42 year old local level NPC guy who weighs 205 onstage with 16 inch arms and no quad sweep.
damn, why did you have to and burst his bubble..he just about to tell us about his upcoming movie roles ::)

lmao!!! you are the biggest clown. my brother is 45 years old, works out 3 times a week and looks 100 times better than you!!
as to why im not on a pro stage...my FIRST attempt to turn pro was in 2005 and i ended up in the overall posedown for the card. my 2nd attempt was last year and again i was in the overall posedown for the card. this will only be my 3rd attempt. not too bad for the piece of physical slop you claim that i am.

While you guys fight...........I'm going to get dressed up,take my girl to a nice restaurant and celebrate my birthday!!!

Posedowns don't equal pro cards. You'll never be a pro. We both know this. It is good that you melt your liver like a popsicle in the middle of the desert for a plastic trophy.
Also, stop acting like hard work made you look the way you do now. You posted older pictures, and I bet you were taking the same amount of drugs then, as you are now...right? WRONG! I am sure your training changed, and your nutrition changed, but at that level of competition...come on. If gh/insulin and newer drugs didn't produce better results over the years, then by that logic Ronnie is using the same drugs he used when he placed out of the top 5 at the O, the two years before he won. Yet somehow, his training weights have increased and so has his muscle mass, by a gigantic amount as we all know.
If you finally experimenting with stuff you've never taken has nothing to do with this, then my muscle/training weights/lifts will increase forever without limitation...it just takes time?
Everyone hits a wall. How did you push past that wall? Your ROWDOWNS? Lol. Shut up please.

Dave you are just wanting to qualify as a pro, not compete as one,not hating but thats just about where your genetics may get you, be careful dude, at 42 the body isn't 26 anymore, i hope to be nice and clean by that age, or at least just anti aging, remember Youngblood bro, your skin complexion is quite similar, that blood tends to thicken up over the years make sure your taking your aspirin to thin it out. Good luck

there's his problem right there, he's competing as a Heavyweight with the legs and arms of a middleweight.
-
Admirable job with the conditioning aka diet, but damn I don't recall ever seeing less separation in any bodybuilder in a long time. With the nice vascularity, perhaps his carbs have just spilled way over. If that's not the issue, perhaps it's just genetics and can not be helped.
Good luck in the show.

Wow, sometimes you do come through with good insight.

Dave is a warrior no doubt about it..............
Omg. I love when someone says this about a bodybuilder, especially one on a ton of drugs. Real warriors don't need gear to get huge. Like, Ronnie Coleman, yeah he's a "true warrior"...haha come on now...let's get real.
Like Shawn Ray talking about gladiators doing battle and all that bullshit, no, this is bodybuilding...drugs/diet/posing trunks...have at it.
::) ::) ::)
-
being 1) an "ex juicer"...or 2), preparing your body to be onstage against the best in the nation...are about as different as preparing for the "tour de france" or riding your bike to the corner store....you dont have a clue what it takes and never will!!
Wrong again my friend. I've known people who have competed, and in all honesty observing them put me off from ever doing the same. I love training - i think lifting heavy weights is really cool, and i probably always will. Fucking around with slin, lasix and escaline is not someting that ever appealed to me.
I can remember in 97 i was in the back room of a gym with the 'hardcore' crowd, and seeing a monster site injecting into his biceps. He trained like a pussy and lived on junk food - but was simply monstrous. He popped anapolon 50's like tic tacs and was on 2 grams of test a week - which by todays standards isn't very much. After he'd finished [and someone had injected me with 250mgs of testoviron], they all went and did a load of E's in the local nightclub. That's bodybuilding.
[the monster went on to place pretty well at a few shows ;)]

Why are you here on Getbig, a BODYBUILDING website, if you don't like bodybuilders?? What DO you like? Give us an example of a bodybuilder you approve of so we can know what to like and what not to like.

No, you're wrong. I question how much the members here could possibly like BB if they are so against the drugs that are an integral part of it. It doesn't make sense to me.
So answer the question...who is a "good" BB, in your estimation?
-

No one is against drugs. What people don't like is when bodybuilders refuse to admit that 90% of their muscle is from drugs.
-
yea clear skin and a head of hair although its shaved yea he looks real unhealthy ::)
Looks like hes popping halo's like M n M's...
-
No one is against drugs. What people don't like is when bodybuilders refuse to admit that 90% of their muscle is from drugs.
The hypocrisy of the nation we live in, which lumps steroids in with cocaine and heroin, make it necessary for all BBs to avoid the issue. They are ILLEGAL, for some ridiculous reason, and the BB community must pretend that they don't exist to protect themselves.
Having said that, I still get the impression that there is a very large anti-drug contingent here at Getbig and it makes no sense to me. Just as a race car driver gets into a machine to make his body go faster than he could naturally, so BBs use chemistry to make their bodies bigger than they would naturally. That's the sport. Like it or leave it. There are dangers inherent in both activities and the participants are well aware of them and decide to take the risk in order to compete. I just can't imagine that on NASCAR forums people are posting things like, "Jeff Gordon's not so great. He's all car!"

true...but when i did the 2003 nats, it was NOT with any intentions of "turning pro"...turning pro wasnt even on my radar at that point. i knew it would be my first time on an npc national stage, so i just went there with the intentions of having some fun, maybe making top 15 and enjoying miami.
2005 at the north americans was the first time i actually prepared for a show with the idea and intention of getting the overall and the card.

well, i cant speak for other people who compete. i cant speak on how easy or difficult it is for them to get onstage and do well. i can only speak for myself. i bust my ass for 20 weeks to show up looking the way i do and thats all i know.

secondly, i am 2 weeks out of the north amercians in these pics. if youve ever competed, you would know that your workouts should just be light, pumping workouts at this point. im capable of working with much heavier weights...whats the point?!?!!?!?
this board is truly ridiculous....

Dave, how dare you??? MAXX has a PhD in steroidology from Yale, and he lost one testicle in the first Gulf War so he now has a crystal ball. That's how he can tell what you're on.
He can see right through your make-believe workout. He also wrote the classic textbook "Principles of Competitive Bodybuilding: Theory and Practice."
How dare you question his knowledge and expertise? Shame on you!!!

Dude, do your contest, and don't worry/stress/reply about/on this board. Your seasoned enough to know that the stress will f*ck up your water-cortisol. Even if you don't think that it will matter, why chance something so important to you. Even you said you busted your ass for 20 weeks, why risk messing it up with stressin' over this silly sh*t? You should spend your down time totally R E L A X E D.

Take someone like Steve Kuclo who is 1 week out from a contest and he looks amazing, and does not look like he is on the verge of a heart attack. He is just shredded and flat out looks pretty healthy.
There is also crazy separation between his muscles, and he has no gut. Now take you, who is taking 2x the drugs at least, and you are around 20 years older than him. Why does he look so much better?
I also bet he doesn't do row-downs.
PS- Bodybuilding is obviously not like fine wine!

he will get a pro card,,he is very close,,this is what bodybuilding is all about being persistant,,he will get a pro card because he has what it takes,,he actually looks very good on stage,,its a thicker version of lee apperson all over again,,he will get a pro card
when you see a good guy with character you can tell it even from a picture
-
seriously bro you gotta stop shooting the shit out of your arms, they have no seperation at all. Congrats on the card do yourself a favour now and retire, potentially this is it for you.
-
Heard from Dave last night, he won his class but failed to take the overall. I have seen, and in my own way, have done everything with Dave through just about everything since we were 12 years old and i'm damn proud of him. He says he is retired now and a long career has come to an end.

What is his pro card going to get him? He isn't going to get showered with endorsement deals. He will never place top 10 in any pro show. Are you nuts Arvilla?

Heard from Dave last night, he won his class but failed to take the overall. I have seen, and in my own way, have done everything with Dave through just about everything since we were 12 years old and i'm damn proud of him. He says he is retired now and a long career has come to an end.
:) Nice work man, real nice work.

Why do you care? If this is his goal then he should go for it. He looked great and won his class. Just missed his card that's all. Hell if your goal is to climb Mt Everest should you not do it because you don't get anything for it? That can kill you as well. Actually you will die much faster doing that then bodybuilding. You guys are so hung up on the fact that this is SO dangerous. You have no clue how much people are doing and what they are doing. You all just assume they are "juiced to the gills". Stop worrying so much about others.
Ok all time to insert your gay "Meltdowns" all over the next few posts. Add a few epics and monsters for me as well.

Arvilla your mad, just let the guy retire, pro means earning money from competition, it aint ever going to happen, respect to the guy for doing his best with his genetics, but retiring from competition now not training could prolong his life by 10 years or more, seriously theres more to life than being pro. Just train and enjoylife with a little anti aging.

respect the guy and his choices...it's his universe

RTB2 continues the film Mike Pulcinella made about his brother Dave in 2005. While building on the first film, RTB2 has a different focus: it shows Dave competing nationally while facing difficulties from all sides. The stakes are higher for Dave this time (framed by contests in 2005-2006). He is trying to achieve pro status in the IFBB by winning a pro qualifier at the masters level. He is dealing with frayed relationships. Finally, he is fighting the physical stresses of competing at an elite level of the NPC while over the age of 40.
More than RTB did, this film employs short profiles of others involved in Dave’s life. From these connections, we learn about Dave as a competitor and person.
Dave’s partner Jenn is the first one profiled. They met in 1999 when she became a client seeking nutritional and training advice. As they start dating and she decides to do NPC figure events, we find out her family doesn’t support her desire to compete. One of the advantages of their competing in the same show is that Dave and Jenn can share the experience, but the grueling contest prep strains their connection. Dave is more committed to competition than Jenn is, and that creates a barrier for them. Dave has given so much of himself to bodybuilding that little in his life relates to anything else at this point. Jenn loves to go to the beach, but her regimented training has prevented her from doing so since 2002. When she decides to take a break from competition, a showdown seems imminent.
Next, the former “email hater” Lance Shaw (whom Dave defeated at the 2004 NPC Delaware show, as shown in RTB), swallows his pride and asks Dave to help him prepare for the 2005 NPC South Jersey show, just the second time Lance will be competing. Dave helps guide him into his best condition, only to find that Craig Torres has entered unexpectedly in the same weight class to requalify at the national level. Lance’s sister sums it up backstage: Lance won’t win because he still looks human. This disappointment prefigures the later contests in the film, as Dave’s fate hangs in the balance between judges and his own body’s resistance to contest prep.
Health problems beset Dave at this point. During the 2005 North Americans (his first masters show, having just turned 40), Dave has severe cramping during the contest. The pain is so bad that after he wins his class (masters heavyweights), he can’t walk back out for the final comparisons, possibly losing an overall win and pro qualification. During his spring 2006 contest prep, he tears a right hamstring while doing walking lunges, sidetracking him for three weeks. Meanwhile, “a dizzying array” of workout partners can’t keep up with his to-the-minute schedule of nutrition and workouts. Dave calls upon an old friend, Tim Covert, to help him regain momentum in the gym. Tim, all but a standup comedian, restores Dave’s sense of humor in a series of funny, tightly edited gym scenes punched up by Martin Bailey’s smart score.
The second half of the film concerns the 2006 NPC Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh. From the plane ride to the airport to the hotel, we see it every step of the way. Mike fortunately got the approval of Repetrope (which has rights to the show) to film in contest venues. Liz DeCherney’s presence deepens the rift between Dave and Jenn, because Liz is handling Dave’s logistics just at the point that Jenn can’t handle any more stress. On Thursday evening (the night before prejudging, after the weigh-in), an argument over whether Jenn should stay in with Dave or go out with Liz breaks the rest of Jenn’s spirit. After that, they say little to each other. Meanwhile, Dave starts cramping again (“my most unfavorite part” of it, he says). Fortunately he gets through prejudging, where he makes the first callout (although he’s the last of the group called out).
An external crisis now occurs: Anthony D’Arezzo, another competitor, has collapsed in his hotel room down the hall and is taken to a hospital by EMTs, where he dies of heart problems he had previously been treated for. Promoter Gary Udit’s announcement of his death at a Friday meeting shocks the roomful of competitors, making the health risks sometimes involved in bodybuilding impossible to ignore.
When Dave seems at his most vulnerable, Mike introduces their sister Christine to the mix. She’s briefly profiled, revealing that she discontinued her modeling career to be a wife and mother. Christine directly attacks Dave’s decision to continue in bodybuilding, becoming a countervoice to everything he dedicates his life to -- and also objecting to his absence from family events like a small nephew’s birthday party, beautifully caught on film. While it seems Dave is getting kicked while he’s down, it’s clear Christine loves her brother and doesn’t want to lose him to what D’Arezzo suffered.
The results of the Masters Nationals evening show are now revealed: Dave makes the top five in the heavyweight class, getting 4th place in the finals. While he achieves what he’d hoped to (top five in his class), the victory is eclipsed by D’Arezzo’s passing, and by the failure of Dave and Jenn’s relationship. At home before the 2006 North Americans, after she’s moved out, Dave reflects on not having to worry about Jenn now, while still missing her. “I had no idea how good we had it,” he says. There’s a touch of the end of Raging Bull in Dave’s rueful confession. In this brilliant, devastating film, we come to understand what those intimately connected to high achievers go through, and what the achievers themselves must go through to survive—if they can.
