Honest and funny
This is a good, honest, humorous account of one guy's grit and insane determination to reach that ever elusive state of perfection and the crazy things bodybuilders are willing to sacrifice to get there. Overcoming adversity, time after time, set back after set back. No attempt to exaggerate and no B.S.. I think this Book will appeal to seasoned competitors and aspiring bodybuilders alike. I liked Sam Fussell's book - Muscle....but I like this book even better. A great read.

An intriguing journey from skinny to ripped
Really enjoyed this from start to end. Nothing appears to get in the way of this man in his journey to the top of British bodybuilding. This is a well written account of how hard it is to be a top preforming bodybuilder. The non bodybuilder would not understand what this man needed to go through to get to this level. The book clearly shows that this is more than a sport, its a 24/7 lifestyle. It doesn't shy away from the use of drugs in the sport and is refreshingly honest. If your a participating bodybuilder or just addicted to the gym, this is definitely worth reading.

Great book, about one man's eternal quest to achieve physical perfection, along with all the highs and crushing tragedies that sometimes come with it. The writing style is raw and honest, I really dig this.

Brilliant!
A great read. Very entertaining! Knowing Jim for many years it was truly heartwarming to go back through his life and brought a smile to my face reading the stories which I have heard first hand! Will be recommending it to all my friends even those who have not been involved in the sport!

Enjoyed this as it's an honest and charming account of his life as a bodybuilder. Having just done my first contest myself, I recognise many of things he talks about. It would have been better with a bit more finesse in the writing and at times it jumped from one thing to the next without a chance for the reader to digest, but all in all I really enjoyed this.What you get is a sense of the man, the attitude and the hard work needed to be a bodybuilder...as well as it being a funny journey along the way.

Great read! Recommended for any Bodybuilder/gym-goer
As a lifter of 15 years and fellow competitor many of the points raised in the book struck home. It gives clear insight into the mindset required to push yourself further than 99% of the population. Great read! Recommended for any Bodybuilder/gym-goer.
