The Busy Body is a wholesale repudiation of the all-too-common misconception that great physiques are to be relegated to the professional athletes, Hollywood actors, and fitness models of the world. This is the working man’s all-inclusive guide for leveraging limited gym time in order to build lean mass and incinerate fat, while maintaining enough time to enjoy life to the fullest. With the principles and strategies covered in this book, we can transform those pasty, memory-foam pecs of yours into a couple of prime rib filets, all while leaving enough time to make homemade beef jerky, collect rare Pokémon, or whatever else it is that you weirdos like to do on the weekends.

John DeLuca is a registered nurse on the Cardio-Thoracic Intensive Care Unit at Duke University Hospital. Sports were an essential part of his childhood, and played a pivotal role in developing his passion for fitness. He took home first place in his third and final Men’s Physique contest in the summer of 2016. Nowadays, he prefers a much more balanced lifestyle that allows him the freedom to enjoy what he loves most, namely thrashing unsuspecting victims on the ping pong table and consequently being thrashed by double black diamonds in the Rockies.
