Dear Mr. Pulcinella -
Like so many others, I've been following you since you starred in your brother's three Raising the Bar documentaries, about your efforts to graduate from being a top NPC athlete to being an IFBB professional. And let's be honest: your brother is definitely a talented filmmaker, but what really made those films work was your honesty and charisma. I felt like I could listen to your stories for hours.
And now that you've written and published Beyond Raising the Bar, I can. But as much as I enjoyed your book, should you ever choose to write another, please allow me to offer some unsolicited advice:
Please, please hire an editor.
