hands down it's this one.
-
I'd say this one below but it's not really a book about bodybuilding. More about some guy who took a whole heap of Acid and imagined some shit happening then wrote down the bullshit and tried to piece it together.

The Big Chest Book by Bob Hoffman was an interesting read

disgusting drawing!!.. looks like a female breast!!..

I've never had the "pleasure" of reading that one but I remember it was advertised all over musclemag in the 80's...by Denie (sp?) who wrote for them at the time
-
what kind of sales numbers did flex's book do? Tim fogarty do you know?

-

I thought it would be ok. It was a joke, just him whining about how he was hard done by and how he wasn't really an asshole all those years and now how he's a 'drug free' bodybuilder and everyone on roids will die.
A good one is 'Muscle' by Sam Fussel.
-
nasser's book will be one of the best bb books ever i guess!!..
-

I enjoyed reading that one...

Yes "Muslce..." by Sam Fussel is a great read and a must for every bodybuilder. Funny as hell and will help give you perspective on the bodybuilding industry.

is that the one called confessions of an unlikely bber?
-

yes
another great one is the one called 'Muscle' as well by John Hottam? Who follows the bodybuilding scene around in 2002 and 2003.
I haven't read the one 'Arnold & Me' but i thought it would be pretty good.
-
Sales of Vince's book weren't that good either

Nassers book hasnt hit the shelfs yet

Haha but he really did come out with a book / pamphlet called "Goodrum's guide to trademark calves", didn't he? Wonder what happened to that one?

For books based on "non-fiction" books, Flex's is surely it!!!
Fiction books I don't really read, if they're BBing books. Completely gay in the first place!
Flex's books was just made up of lies...and over at MD, his lies continue. And how he covers them up and/or backtracks is even worse.
Flex is the epitome of BBing.

Has anybody read The Ultimate Physique:Bodybuilding with Mr. World by Bill Richardson?
And Flex's book gave insight into his mind, what made him tick. I didn't buy it thinking it would talk about his cycles or his competitions, I knew it wasn't going to be that. Anybody who bought that book thinking otherwise, well is a fool, and a fool and his money are soon parted. Which is why some people are disappointed. They felt fooled, when in reality they fooled themselves.
And that Goodrum "Dummies" book Photoshop was halarious.

He said in an interview with MM that his book would be out in a few months and he would talk about what happened with those 'ninja's at the 1997 Olympia prep.
No mention. At all. C'mon.....

Vince's book was called "Shinebox Confessions". It made Oprah's book list

I hardly bought the book thinking he would list his cycles. I'm in agreement with you about the "fool and his money are soon parted" comment, but I picked up the book just to see what insight he could give on anything. His life, lifting, public reaction to looking like a freak, whatever. But what I read seemed far more like a book of lies than anything.
Flex has always been a liar, and if you look at his history, you can see that.

I picked the book up in B&N, browsed thru it, put it back. The next day it was gone. I ordered it. Knowing Flex I was not disappointed that those topics were not added, although it would have been nice. I think it was more about the revelation of his retirement, illness, and abuse.
As far as Flex Ninja story, I remember him saying that in Musclemag, but that has been hashed about so much, that it was no included in the book. Plus he already admitted that he wasn't in shape for the O smashed his fist, made up a story, and the rest is history.
I guess I bought the book for diff reasons than everybody else. And it served my objective.

Nah Cormier told everyone in a copy of MD. Flex never said anything.

As long as you've followed him most of his life and KNOW the truth, the book is a bit entertaining. Like his mped ride down hill...lmao!!!!!!!...and him wanting to "borrow" his sisters hand gun etc etc. I believe Kenny is FOS at times but like I said if you know he's lying it becomes entertaining!!!
-
yeah, it's such a complicated "sport", we need more books ::)
-
Derek Anthony came out with a bodybuilding book, it's about expanding your shit box.

Synthol?
The nasser sonbaty tragedy? ;D
-

Flex said something about it, I believe it was in MuscleMag..it was a two part interview back in 1999.
Regmac, he talked about the gun situation in a MD article as well.
-
you actually have this book, i'm not laughing because i have it to.
Now that is a physique to strive for. ::)
-

Hmm. Need to punch that up a bit. How about 'Fear and Loathing in Mantie-Land: The Sad Ballad of Nasser El Sonbaty?'

Hmm... I vote for "A young trophy Mantie-Seller in the parlance of our times."
Top ten best seller guaranteed!

Rumor has it that Kamali's guide to hardcore compound movements performed on a Smith machine never extended beyond preliminiary talks with several major publishers..
;)

calm down there mr blood pressure :o
;D
-

Maybe but I guess he exagerrates to make something cool sound even better. The book IS funny though. But like I said if you've followed him from 90-present, you know not to take everything in there to truth. Funny how the car jacking's not in there. ooops
-

one of the all time great GB posts....classic.
