Description
Craig Titus, a competitive bodybuilder known for his thick and dense muscle mass, had long branded himself as “the bad boy” of his sport and had the criminal record to prove it. He was his gym’s main supplier of steroids, he sold every other kind of drug, he rubbed elbows with hardened crooks.
Titus met his match in Kelly Ryan, a beloved fitness competitor renowned for her grace, agility, beauty, intelligence, and poise. Making a life together in the bodybuilding world of Las Vegas in the early 2000s, the two dove deep into abjection and addiction, one which culminated in a horrendous act of murder.
Aromatase Inhibition captures the underside of contemporary Las Vegas: the bizarre circus that is the professional bodybuilding industry, a world where elite athletes, dangerous pharmaceuticals, porn perverts, and hardened criminals collide. A true story of love and crime, Adam Lehrer’s text is ultimately a parable of life lived on the out-of-control margins of modern America.
