Yeah, the author gets a tad overdramatic at time, but it's a good book by Fussel. I'd love to see a movie for it!

Which book are you referring to?

The confessions book is great, Flex's book is nowhere near it. Poorly written, like VERY poorly, and just not that interesting. Like one ghey section details how his wife sat with him at meals coaching him "you can do it, one more bite".

I am ashamed to confess that I actually spent money and ordered it from Amazon [I was young and foolish is my excuse]

Thanks for the heads up. I was under the impression that he goes into the "behind the scenes" details??? Not true?

I'm really not getting the part about Bob owning the copyrights to video clips from videos produced by Magna Media and Video 4.

No, that is why I bought it as well - thought I would get some great stories or something. It is just a poorly written book with really not much in it. Confessions is at least 20 times better - seriously. If you have the chance to like borrow Flex's book or get it cheap and easy read it - but I would not say go out of your way like I did.

If "behind the scenes" means that someone high at Weider had said, and I quote, "too busy f**king his wife to compete", in regards to why he compete in a show, then no. That was in a MUsclemag Interview he did back in 1999. Actually that interview was a lot more informative than his book.

His book only had a few gems. It mostly showed Flex to be a man who used his muscles to hide from his past...It actually gave a look into the man's mental state, more than anything esle.

There's no way Bob Paris owns the copyright to videos of his routines in an IFBB contest.

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Bob Paris"

Every once in a while I watch Youtube clips of Bob Paris in the 84 and 88 (?) Olympias, because that is the physique I dream of having one day.

I couldn't find them on Youtube today, and that's the message I got.

yeah i posted this a few weeks back

it sucks

I've never really got the whole Bob Paris thing. If you're talking aesthetics then I'd say Reeves, Zane , or Nubret. There is also no harm in looking at that stuff..I just found Earl's protestations that he was looking for 'Bob Paris with a woman' to be a little quaint.
