There are many stories of them keeping an athlete's money, taking back certain promises, and basically running a monopoly of the sport. Since they owned most of the major magazines in the sport that offered any kind of publicity and also ran the IFBB federation it was best to stay on their good side. The Weiders (Joe and Ben) have controlled bodybuilding for years and did so at the writing of this book. Unfortunately, things are never as pretty as they seem. Right when you think he can't go anymore he manages to start winning some bodybuilding shows and enjoying a certain level of success. The book then takes us later to California where Bob struggles and hits upon some VERY difficult times. ![]() The book starts from his earliest days as a child in Indiana coming across muscle magazines and tinkering with weights.
