If you've never heard of this memoir, it's about a man named Sam Fussell, who was a straight-A Harvard boy before diving into the world of bodybuilding. The memoir shows how Fussell went from a 170-pound weakling to a 257-pound beast through the use of steroids and hard work.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is supposed to touch on all of the major points in <em>Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder<\/em> from the bulimia to the strange way some guys act when they start getting big (<a href=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/GeorgeSpellwin?feature=mhum#p\/u\/59\/k-Y4K3vC9bc\">take this guy for instance<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Sure I know the film is going to make fun of bodybuilding, but I can take a joke and I'll have fun spotting the things that really do go on in the bodybuilding world.<\/p>\n<div style='text-align:left' class='yasr-auto-insert-visitor'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just read a story about a bodybuilding movie that&#8217;s going to be made for HBO, and I&#8217;m pumped.
