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

it even includes a chapter on "expanding the rib box"

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

::) why?

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.

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.

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.

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?
