I lift...Arnold, Nubret and Franco at their best...Notice the great shapes and tight midsections they had back then (The "V" shape), unlike most of todays pro-bodybuilders (The "X" shape). The 25th SE has some great outtakes and a reunion scene not to be missed, especially when Arnold sees how big Lou still is!. Anyone who watches how hard these guys hit the weights puts the lie to the haters out there that try to claim it's all about AAS(steroids), which were legal back then anyway, and only taken in small amounts to hold on to hard-earned muscle while dieting off stubborn bodyfat. The fact is that most people are woefully ignorant at what professional bodybuilders do and how hard the diet and exercise is. Most are too cowardly to deal with the pain and too soft to deal with such strict eating patterns, and therefore reflexively talk smack and put-down those who forge themselves by the iron discipline they realize they do not have. Seeing these guys in action = Inspiring! I've got my protein shake ready and am on the way to the weight room now!...

MCT:January 13, 2008Just a documentary on Arnie preparing for the Mr. Olympia where he beat Lou Ferrigno. Lots of weightlifting. Lots of broken English.

Arnolds days before movies and politics, Franco Culumbo is awesome when he lifts up the front end of a car without a sweat!

surprise! this was really entertaining! i could care less about weight lifting and muscle building... but this is very interesting. Arnold was such a manipulator in his early days!

Arnie's not acting, the reality aspect spoiled it for me, he's more realistic when he acts! What a genius!

It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven.

MCT:July 13, 2007Absolutely hilarious - if you have any interest in body building or Schwarzenegger then you'll enjoy this one, even if it is slow at times.

An interesting look into the world of bodybuilding and the early career of the charismatic Arnold Schwarzenegger, recommended!
-
MCT:May 4, 2007
This hasn't aged too well, but this documentary is Arnie at his best - being the showman and oozing charisma. He certainly comes up with some memorable lines. A must-see for any gym-junkies.

This was quite a funny, with some hilarious lines and some ham acting. It gave a good overview of the bodybuilding days of the 70s.
Arnie showed here what led him to further success in Hollywood. -

I watched this as homework for my fitness regime, and I have to say this it was very influencial in changing the common perception of fitness. Produced as a very independent, low-budget documentary, it has managed to lock itself very firmly in the canon of classics. I'm glad I sat down and really got into it.

The film that gave Arnie! And the incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno. This movie launched my interest in all things fitness so I guess it's responsible for where I am now both employment wise and geographically! Thanks Arnie. Can't believe he's all grown up and a Governer now!

What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said by millions of people? Best inspirational documentary of all time!

MCT:February 23, 2007
Well, Matt Linneman rented this for his own ridiculous reasons, and me and a bunch of friends ended up watching it with him. I was surprised- - this is a VERY well-made, interesting, and engaging documentary. I mean really, how many people are interested in pro bodybuilding? That's the thing though- - for this movie, you don't have to be. It's great.

MCT:February 6, 2007I've seen this pic a long-long time ago..and as in the case of "Stay Hungry", I want to see it again, merely because of its.."historical value" ;)
