Gorilla Suit: My Adventures in Bodybuilding offers an insider's look at the world of professional bodybuilding. The narrative captures the intensity of competition, rigorous training routines, and the subculture that drives athletes to extraordinary lengths.
Through firsthand anecdotes and candid reflection, the author examines the motivations that push competitors, the physical and ethical costs of pursuing perfection—including use of risky growth drugs—and the moment when long-held goals are reassessed.
Published by St. Martin's Press in 1997 (274 pages), the book appeals to readers interested in sports memoirs, fitness culture, and the personal consequences of extreme athletic ambition.
