I'm looking for a book that I read. It was published before 1992, because thats when I read it. Its about a guy who tells the story of his experiences in bodybuilding. He starts out in New York I think and gets mugged so he starts lifting to be able to protect himself. At first he works out a the YMCA. Soon he finds his reasons for exercizing evolving from scaring away would be muggers to developing a competion level physique. He moves to California and begins training at (Gold's I think?). He starts AS. He eventually competes in some powerlifting competions and a bodybuilding show. Its was a great book filled with this guy's experiences on training, AS and the bodybuilding world as seen from an insider. Email me if anyone knows what this is. Thanks.

I guess you're talking about Fussell's, Muscle: Confession of an unlikely bodybuilder. It's a very good book and every serious bodybuilder should have it. It's a must-read and very interesting book.

Thats the one. I just couldn't remember the name, but I must've got most of the rest of it right.
