What Has Been Your Most Satisfying / Unsatisfying Strength Training Autobiography or Biography

Training HIT

Hi all,

Just wondered. Here are some of mine (not in any order):

Liked:

  • American Odysseus - Little (if a bit strong on portraying Mentzer as some sort of flawed hero)

    Strongman: My Story - Eddie Hall

    The Education of a Bodybuilder - Arnold (my 18th birthday present - many moons ago)

    Gentleman on the Door - some British doorman

Disliked:

  • Bigger Crocodiles, Faster Planes, Younger Women - Szimanski (unreadable with so many footnotes)

    Nautilus: The Lost Empire of Arthur Jones - Gary Jones (just badly written and boring)

Iā€™m sure there are more.

He did (under the name Edgar)! Thanks for spotting my mistake.
