Gorilla suit

This is the first-ever, honest, behind-the-scenes look into the world of professional bodybuilding and what the actual life of a bodybuilder is like. Bob Paris shows us the heat of the competition, explains what drives these athletes to push their bodies to the limit, and beyond, and discusses the price bodybuilders pay for this perfection, which includes the use of dangerous growth drugs. Paris also looks at the driving forces behind the business of bodybuilding, including the extraordinary story of the Weider brothers. Bob Paris has held the titles Mr Los Angeles, Mr Southern California and Mr Universe.

First sentence: Are you ever going to compete again?" he asked, completely changing directions, after we had spent forty minutes venting our frustrations about America's being taken over by religious nutcases and the power-hungry maniacs who pander to them, what archconservatives would call liberal whining.
