Bodybuilding Comedy should be Fun to Watch

I just read a story about a bodybuilding movie that's going to be made for HBO, and I'm pumped. The film is going to be directed by a guy named Derek Cianfrance, who has several successful movies to his credit such as the award-winning Blue Valentine (and 'no' I've never seen the movie, I just read this line).

The premise of the film is that it will adapt the 1991 bodybuilding memoir called Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder in the aforementioned comedy. If you've never heard of this memoir, it's about a man named Sam Fussell, who was a straight-A Harvard boy before diving into the world of bodybuilding. The memoir shows how Fussell went from a 170-pound weakling to a 257-pound beast through the use of steroids and hard work.

The movie is supposed to touch on all of the major points in Confessions of an Unlikely Bodybuilder from the bulimia to the strange way some guys act when they start getting big (take this guy for instance).

Sure I know the film is going to make fun of bodybuilding, but I can take a joke and I'll have fun spotting the things that really do go on in the bodybuilding world.
