Pumping Iron: The Art and Sport of Bodybuilding - Before it became an international obsession, "pumping iron" was the domain of a tiny number of people, mostly in California, and nobody else in the country knew anything about bodybuilding or wanted to. Arnold Schwarzenegger's rise to stardom introduced it to the world.Who were those men who dedicated themselves to building bodies like Greek statues? And why did they do it: traveling across the world, competing for grandiose but publicly uncelebrated titles like Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia, their lives rigidly defined and regulated by their discipline, completely without the public acclaim that accompanies athletic achievement? Novelist Charles Gaines and photographer George Butler spent two years trying to find out. They followed the bodybuilders from competition to competition, trying to capture the essence of their strange, joyful, and exotic world. They created a fascinating and compelling look at a resonant and enthralling subculture, all the more enthralling for what the movement documented in these pages would become - a worldwide phenomenon!
