The book "The Good, the Bad & the Ugly" discusses the three aspects of bodybuilding: the good being the flashy, glamorous side of tanned and muscular physiques on stage; the bad referring to the sacrifices and dedication required for the disciplined lifestyle; and the ugly side being drug abuse which can lead to health issues but is rarely discussed openly. The document provides details about downloading or reading the book, which was written by a physician and former competitive bodybuilder to realistically portray all three sides of the sport.
