Bodybuilders break though their limits with their mind maximize and challenge their body muscle hypertrophy. They follow a special diet everyday, and put training as their daily routine, even risking their health and physical appearance… For outsiders, their habits may seem impossible or even nothing important, yet these are the true stories from the bodybuilders in Hong Kong portraying their endurance and persistence.

IRONMAN is a free paper aimed to raise the awareness of the general public about how the bodybuilders give themselves courage to break through their ‘normal’ body limits, and the meanings of doing it. Four bodybuilders explained their reasons for bodybuilding: for power; for beauty; for honor; and for acceptance. Let us hear their realistic personal stories behind their endeavour and tough bodybuilding lives.

健美人士堅持信念，突破個人界限，挑戰肌肉發展！每日，他們都要依從特別餐單，習慣性地進行操練，甚至不惜冒著外表和健康的危機……就外人而言，他們這一個興趣看似是不可能和無關重要；可是在香港的健美人士背後，總是有著一個又一個描述他們的忍耐和堅持的真實故事。

“IRONMAN”是一份提醒公眾對健美人士了解、並支持他們這一種突破正常身體極限的免費刊物。刊物中描述了四位健美人士進行操練的原因：「力量」；「美感」；「榮耀」；及「認同」。讓我們一起聆聽他們的親身經歷，感受那種努力又艱苦的健美生活。
