Bodybuilding passion
It is useful for understanding the bodybuilders passion and how it is important to fight for what you really want. br / br /It does not matter if you want a body like Franco Columbu or if you have other life's goal, it is important to understand (as from Schwarzy's speechs)if you really want something you have to plan and fight for achieve it. br / br /Thid dvd is showing us this kind of committment and we have just to listen carefully.

Documenting Arnold was a star before Arnold was a star
You will never get a better chance to see a movie star in embryonic form than watching 28-year old Austrian body builder Arnold Schwarzenegger in this 1976 documentary about bodybuilding. Arnold is "Pumping Iron" to win his sixth straight Mr. Olympia title and the future Terminator steals the spotlight from his competitors (including Lou Ferrigno in his pre-Incredible Hulk days) with relative ease. Directors George Butler and Robert Fiore capture the world of competitive bodybuilding on film, but it is Arnold who makes it all seem like such a noble effort. With his natural charm and his single-minded determination, it is easy in retrospect to see why he became such a box officer star. This is a man who has always been comfortable with who he is and what he is doing. Even if you find the sight of muscular men covered in oil to be somewhat disquieting (I am pleading guilty here), you will find this look at their world to be both fascinating and insightful.

Pumping Iron
Features Arnold Schwarzenegger and a load of his bodybuilding mates training and pasing, and training, and posing... you get the idea. If you are a big fan of bodybuilding or Arnie himself you will probably love this, if however like me you aren't, then this will probably start to bore you after a while.

Motivating and fascinating
Enter the crazy world of body building in 1975 with Arnie accompanied by Lou Ferrigno, Mike Katz and Franco Columbo. It's a documentary that focuses on Arnie and his main competitor - Lou Ferrigno. You get to see the crazy workouts that each guy has to endure, but you also see Arnie demotivating and playing mind tricks with Lou. pOverall this is a superb film for any weight training fan, and I can definitely recommend this as a motivational and entertaining film - excellent stuff.
