Bob Paris recounts his journey to the pinnacle of professional bodybuilding in *Gorilla Suit*, offering an unvarnished look at the world behind the oiled muscles and posed physiques. From the initial allure of sculpting his body to the harsh realities of competition, dangerous growth drugs, and the controlling forces within the industry, Paris lays bare the sacrifices and disillusionment that accompanied his pursuit of the "American dream".
He explores the motivations that drive athletes to push themselves beyond their limits, whilst also questioning the ultimate value of achieving a goal that leaves one feeling unfulfilled. This memoir unveils a sport populated by insecure competitors and dominated by powerful figures, ultimately painting a portrait of a man grappling with his past and seeking a more authentic path.
