The second I held this book in my hand the vibrations just screamed to me what I had told Randy over 3 years ago. This book is in a league of its own! – Don Howorth 1967 IFBB mr. America www.donhoworth.com
In a word….UNBELIEVABLE! I just got a copy of Randy Roach’s new book Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors and it is amazing. I was in awe of the sheer size of it and the incredible cover, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Randy knows I’m not a big history buff but he has made […]
I really enjoyed this book! Looking forward to volume 2. Randy has told the story with truth and class. This book is the absolute best in bodybuilding. Great job! – Steve Speyrer, Classic Anatomy Gym www.classicanatomygym.com

From the Dedication right through. Its a superb piece of literature and I […]
I have been involved in the Iron Game for over 40 years now, and that is one of the best books that I have ever read. It is really incredible. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. I highly recommend it! – Lou Mezzanotte Industry writer
One mark of a really good writer is his ability to make meaningful transitions from one chapter to the next. I rarely see these connections, especially in nonfiction books. Randy, however, has mastered this technique. His transitions added much to his stories and reports. I am anxious to get into Volume II. – Ellington […]

For over one hundred years, the fitness industry and the history of physical culture have been rife with ambiguity, […]
I cannot fully express to you how much I appreciate the Herculean effort it took to create what is a seminal work in our world. You have single-handedly preserved a huge chunk of our collective history. Your vision, tenacity, hard work and love for all of it is just fantastic. I am in awe of […]
This book is so well written and researched that it deserves to be a University text book for nutritionists, exercise physiologists, and physical educators. What I particularly liked about it, is that Randy blends the knowledge of many sciences to explain the evolution of nutrition/supplementation through the bodybuilding movement, from anthropology to Dr. Hawkins’s mapping […]
