As the literary agent Byrd Leavell was developing a memoir with Arnold Schwarzenegger a few years ago, it occurred to him that other muscular stars had stories to tell too. He set up a meeting with Sylvester Stallone, who happened to be one of his childhood heroes, and pitched him on the idea of writing a book.
"We hit it off,” Leavell recalls, and Stallone approached the process with "an extraordinary level of openness.”

几年前，当文学经纪人伯德·利维尔（Byrd Leavell）与阿诺德·施瓦辛格（Arnold Schwarzenegger）合作撰写回忆录时，他突然想到其他肌肉发达的明星也有很多故事可以讲述。于是，他安排与西尔维斯特·史泰龙（Sylvester Stallone）见面，史泰龙恰好是他儿时的偶像之一，并向他提出了写书的想法。
“我们一拍即合，”利维尔回忆道，史泰龙对整个过程表现出了“非凡的开放态度”。
