Biceps that peak like mountains. Calves that can withstand the weight of the globe. A chest that can press a lorry in on single rep. Think Samson. Think Hercules. Think Arnold. The quest for muscle is a timeless pursuit, and in the modern era of neighbourhood gyms and protein shakes, the obsession has consumed those who chase it. Presenter, Marty Cullen, has built muscle since he was a teen, completely immersing himself in a world where men want to be mountains. There are sacrifices that need to be made in order to grow: money, time, in some cases even health. Whilst bearing the brunt of some of these sacrifices himself, Marty discovers the extremes that some local men push themselves to in order to become larger than life. It is the feeling of never being good enough that fuels bodybuilders. They endure an endless thirst for perfection. Their sanctuary is the gym, the feeling of their hand warming the cold iron and the release of adrenaline when they lift more than they have ever conceived.
