Bodybuilder's Bookshelf
Perhaps this should be in another thread?
Whatcha reading? What books are on your bookshelf? What magazines are on your nightstand? Do you even have a nightstand?
Doesn't have to be fitness or bodybuilding literature either. Although Arnold's (with Douglas Kent Hall) "The Education of a Bodybuilder," Samuel W. Fussell's "Muscle," Dick Tyler's "West Coast Bodybuilding Scene," and "Pumping Iron" belong on any musclehead's bookshelf, imo.
I've read everything James Rollins has available. Likewise Lee Child. I'm reading his latest Jack Reacher adventure - "61 Hours". Janet Evanovich's female bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, is another great read. The one character's name is Diesel which makes it at least semi-bodybuilding related, imo.
Just purchased "Dungeon of Death: Chris Benoit and the Hart Family Curse" which is not specifically bodybuilding but does discuss some issues relevant to the sport.

Recently received "The Complete Keys to Progress" by John McCallum. Ordered that from Amazon. This is a must have for any iron fan. :bowdown:

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but Cabbage with a College Education.

I am in a mood
stupid, but in a mood
Could suggest a S&M weight training version book? Or how about how to weight train while in bondage video or book?
Okay, I am over it!
Also, could I ask if any books work on the issues of Vegan's using gear
oh, my new one is:

Are their any good reads for women trying to learn about bodybuilding? My wife has been about a month into working out with me and she likes "FACTS" and not what I tell her.
Please do not PM me with questions, I will not PM you back.

Thanks Tom. Now how about something that talks about nutrition while weight training. How to for dummies on eating while working. The more books I put in front of her the more she will stay devoted.

Into his warped Philadelphia microcosm La Plante places a twisted, avenging bodybuilder who abuses steroids, valium, and crystal meth; a brutal, sadomasochistic doctor; and a drug-pushing, bulked-up control freak who fears for his livelihood. Capt. Bill Fogarty teams up with assistant medical examiner Josef Tanaka in order to investigate the particularly gruesome murders that stem from the shenanigans of this threesome. Fogarty's growing relationship with a woman coupled with Tanaka's impending fatherhood, however, result in added complications. Solid, gritty prose, thrilling tension, and inevitable violence.

it was either "Gorilla Suit" or "Beyond Built" that I read.....his stories of how he came into aas/gh etc and his life moving out to california and then later coming out are not only entertaining but eye opening no matter what your personal beliefs about his lifestyle choices are Originally Posted by Curt James

Like a Steve Reeves for the '90s, but, yeah, homosexual so probably wouldn't be such a great time even if he did provide you with room service. Originally Posted by Nightowl

Today, Paris lives with his spouse, Brian, on an island near Vancouver, British Columbia. Together since 1996, Bob and Brian were legally married after Canada equalized the marriage laws in 2003.
