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.
