Got my Pumping Iron DVD yesterday!!!

[J steel]

My first time ever seeing it! I watched it before the gym, got me so pumped up!

I had no idea Arnold was so cocky back then (I'm sure the movie played it up). He had every right though, he blew away everyone else. It's awesome to watch him train and pose.

Whats cool is they have a whole segment on the making of the original movie. Has a ton of outtakes not seen in the movie.

You guys gotta pick this up!

i got mine yesterday as well even though i already saw it
is just me or does arnold and franco look a lot harder/density wise than a lot of bodybuilders of today? maybe its just me

I've watched the video countless times and loved it, just picked up the dvd but havent had a chance to watch it

 

[J steel]

you know what i did notice is the separation of arnold's chest from his midsection is unbelievable. the other bodybuilders of that time also have this, but arnold's massive chest really stands out.

i think this is because those guys didnt have huge bloated guts. the thin waisted look really emphasized how big their upper bodies actually were.

franco looked amazing too.

but how come these guys legs don't even compare to the tree trunks of today's bodybuilders? was it not as important to the overall look? or has the gear, knowledge, training improved so much to allow the now much bigger lower bodies?

Me and my bro watch it monthly. Arnold was extremely huge. Anyone know what all Arnold took? Prtoein and stuff liek that must have been hard to come by in the late 70's. Their legs really weren't that big, not as important in competitions. Lou Ferigno was a real deal, he was soo freaking big, any man that tall it takes for ever to get big. Congrats to them all. I bet one of our members is really arnold, just in disguise!

I have the VHS, if anyone sends me a tape i will tape it for you..just kidding, i taped it off tv. It is really worth watching. The world should watch it daily, it should be a law.

 

[xtinct]

Does the DVD have the part with Arnold smoking pot or did they cut that scene out?

 

[mrwis2010]

damn i have never seen it, this sucks, well, i guess ill have to go buy one asap.

 

[mr.lean]

i watch the movie all the time, the older guys i think look better but there definately not as solid as todays guys, look at arnolds lower back a lot of water retention, mike katz look rediculous all the other bodybuilders are huge but seem dumb for some reason, everytime me and my brother go to the gym we quote the movie everyone thinks were nuts lol, come on franco stop the bull shit , or im cuming all the time, try saying those while squating i swear u will get a crazy pump

 

[mrwis2010]

lol ive wanted to see it for such a long time i guess i should really invest in it..... im in college right now and trying to save money for my cycle, which wont be hard, i just need to not smoke anymore weed... body building is way more important though, so all i need time.

if anyone wants to add me to AIM im mrwis2010

 

[bones93]
