Muscle: A Writers Trip Through A Sport With No Boundaries


Generals Lexicons Handbooks Yearbooks History and Theory
In the mad, bad muscle game, anything goes... Bodybuilding is the wildest, weirdest sport in the world, but it's more than just a sport. It's a whole way of life for the supermen who scale its Olympian heights. Muscle is a journey through a land of giants, men for whom life is given meaning by the pursuit of the perfect pec and who worship at the altar of Arnie. Beginning with the shocking death of Andreas Munzer, a fallen hero with a 58-inch chest and 21-inch arms, and ending with the glitz and drama of the Mr Olympia, as the biggest men on earth fight for bodybuilding's ultimate prize, Muscle hangs out at the gyms and the shows, going head to head with the stars and legends - Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, Jay Cutler and the Terminator himself - and the casualties, gym rats and iron junkies -Jon Hotten has a 40-inch chest and 12-inch arms. Undaunted, he fights his unpromising genetics to hitch up with the bodybuilding circus, all the way from London to Las Vegas, Amsterdam to Arnie's place. As his forbidding subjects open up, confiding their fears and ambitions and revealing the truth about their lives, he discovers a story of unregulated excess, chemical mayhem and hard-won glory. Taking beef as its motif, Muscle is a book for everyone who's ever looked in the mirror and wanted more.

Letters Diaries Biographies and Autobiographies
Josh Lewsey is one of the most successful English rugby players of all time. He has won every trophy in the sport at both national and international level and is renowned for his unconventionally broad interests and achievements. Outside the game, Josh is a university graduate in both Physiology and Law, a former Army Officer and has a love for adventure (he even trekked to K2 during one summer off). These achievements are a mark of his drive, passion and energy, and his will to make the most of life both on and off the field.In this intelligent, self-effacing and humorous account of his life so far, Josh speaks about his time at Wasps and as a member of the England team, including the World Cup winning team of 2003, as well as his many other experiences, and shares some of the lessons he has learned along the way.It is a unique look at life at the top of professional sport and a fascinating insight into the characters and relationships that make up the world of professional rugby.

The Beautiful Game?: Searching For The Soul Of Football

The Beautiful Game?: Searching For The Soul Of Football


Ball Games
Once, football proudly claimed to stand for passion, community, honour, even beauty. Today, football is about money. Its richest club, Manchester United, earned £175 million last year; yet since 1992 thirty-six of the Football League's seventy-two clubs have been insolvent. The game is in danger of losing its lifeblood - and its soul. David Conn, the game's most respected investigative journalist, sets out on a journey through the heart of our national game, exploring how the sport has failed - and who is to blame. Travelling to football's every outpost, Conn interviews players, managers, chairmen and fans, building up a picture of a game mired in crisis. At its heart, football is a game deeply loved by millions. This is a book for those who keep the faith, who believe that the sport itself, stripped of the greed and self-interest blighting its organisation, still has values, and can still be beautiful.

Magnify Liston And Ali: The Ugly Bear And The Boy Who Would Be King
Liston And Ali: The Ugly Bear And The Boy Who Would Be King

Liston And Ali: The Ugly Bear And The Boy Who Would Be King


Sport
Sport can offer catharsis in times of crisis, but not this time. Liston was a mob fighter with a criminal past, and rumours were spreading that Clay was not just a noisy, bright-eyed boy blessed with more than his share of the craziness of youth, but a believer in a shadowy cult: the Nation of Islam. Instead of a hero and a villain, boxing had served up two bad guys. Against this backdrop of political instability, of a country at war with itself, in a time when ordinary African American people were still being maimed and killed for the smallest acts of defiance, Liston and Clay sought out their own individual destinies. Liston and Ali follows the contrasting paths these two men took, from their backgrounds in Arkansas and Kentucky through to that sixteen-month period in 1964 and 1965 when the story of the world heavyweight championship centred on them and all they stood for. Using original source material, it explores a riveting chapter in sporting history with fresh insight and in rare detail.
