Mr. America by Mark Adams
"A remarkable story. . . . It is to Mark Adams's great credit that, in Mr. America, he has rescued from obscurity a man whose influence is still felt in this country more than a century after he muscled his way onto the national scene." --Wall Street Journal
"Hilarious. . . . Delightful. . . . If Macfadden hadn't existed, we would have had to invent him." --Washington Post
Mr. America is the fascinating true story of Bernarr Macfadden, a self-made millionaire and founding father of bodybuilding, alternative medicine, and tabloid culture. Madfadden's impact on popular American culture is everywhere, from yoga to raw food diets to US Weekly, and Mr. America vividly brings to life this charismatic and intriguing character.
Mark Adams has been coaching cycling for almost 25 years and has spent 23 years with Wales Cycling and British Cycling, working in both World Class and Development, including the creation of the Talent Team program. Over the past ten years, he has served as a coach for the Hargroves Racing Team.
