CT Fletcher: My Magnificent Obsession (2015)
High marks for melodrama
Over the top with melodrama.
So sorry for your loss CT, but we all lose our moms. I get the sense CT is exaggerating his 'personal' story especially in regards to mom and dad. He states "50 years she was a slave to my dad", but right there on the gravestone it shows that she died at age 62. The math is suspicious, as is, I suspect, some of his one sided portrayal of his father.
If most of what CT says about his abusive, preacher dad is true, then I imagine the fruit didn't fall to far from the tree. Most of the story centers on CT giving intimate, in your face sermons on the benefit of self inflicted pain through intensive weightlifting. 'No excuses' is the mantra in the gym with CT in the background putting on his best Army drill instructor persona.
I hope for the sake of his weightlifting clients (or congregation as it may as well be), that he refrains from the verbal abuse as most of us are clearly not as physically gifted as CT.
