I found some kick ass books in my library. Check these out:

[casavant]

Pumping Iron (the book, not the movie)

Contemporary Perspectives in Masculinity

Marked Men: White Masculinity in Crisis

Little Big Men: Bodybuilding Subculture and Gender Construction

Survival of the Prettiest



And a couple others too. Good stuff. I've already dug into "Pumping Iron". Lots of neat details.

A good one to read if you haven't already is "Muscle: Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder" - Samuel W. Fussell

I read that earlier this year, and it was a good look into a guy who goes from total noob to a juiced up competing bb'er.
