Lee Haney Mr Olympia Workout
8 Time Mr Olympia Lee Haney's Mr Olympia Workout.
One of the greatest bodybuilders in history. Lee Haney was the first man to win eight Mr. Olympia titles -- and he won them consecutively, beating Arnold Schwarzenneger's seven-title record.
This gem of bodybuilding philosophy is a must see! Lee Haney trancends any preconceived notions you may have about bodybuilding or even about life in general.
regardless of whether or not you bodybuild, this video is highly entertaining. Lee Haney is a character, his energy and exuberance will motivate you to do whatever your goals may be. Lee's knowledge is universal, he may be describing the proper technique for doing squats and it will sound like he's counseling you about just about anything. "the mind has got to connect with the muscle, 'cause one without the other equals zero!" this quote stands out in my memory and exemplifies Lee's insight into life in general, because in any activity it is important to stay conscious.

Pumping Iron Arnold Schwarzenegger
This bodybuilding documentary from 1977 charts a 28 year old Arnold Schwarzenegger's attempt to be hailed Mr Olympia for an incredible sixth time. A big box-office success, PUMPING IRON inspired scores of men (and women) to look at their own bodies and in some way emulate Arnold's incredible physique and the determination and committment it requires to maintain it. The movie also, in no small part, was the spring-board that launched him into a hugely successful career in acting. Also featuring TV's original INCREDIBLE HULK star Lou Ferrigno.
From Gold's Gym in Venice Beach California to the showdown in Pretoria, amateur and professional bodybuilders prepare for the 1975 Mr. Olympia and Mr. Universe contests in this part-scripted, part-documentary film. Five-time champion Arnold Schwarzenegger defends his Mr. Olympia title against Serge Nubret and the shy young deaf Lou Ferrigno, whose father is his coach; the ruthless champ psyches out the young lion. Sardinian Franco Columbu competes in the lightweight class; at home in Italy he solves a tight parking problem by lifting the car into place. Joe Weider is the marketer; Mike Katz and Ken Waller go for the title of Mr. Universe. Bodybuilding and a celebrity-to-be go mainstream

Arnold Schwarzenegger Total Rebuild
paul and carole graham present...
SCHWARZENEGGER Total Rebuild
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the world's most famous bodybuilder, retired after winning the Olmpia title six times. This film is about his return to bodybuilding competition after achieving stardom as a film actor.
Arnie bowed out of the world of professional bodybuilding in 1975 very much on a high. During his decade of dominance (including 6 Mr Olympia titles) he had re-invented the sport and inspired a new generation of elite athletes to compete in his wake. After his famous 6th title, where he was victorious over "the new kid on the block", Lou Ferrigno (who later went on to play the Incredible Hulk), Arnie embarked upon his hugely successful acting career. Arnie and pro competition shook hands and parted company. The new breed of hungry bodybuilders led by Frank Zane eagerly took over and stepped up to the new standard set by Schwarzenegger.
5 (five) years later, Arnie had a crazy idea: "what if I compete in one more Mr Olympia? I know that the likes of Zane (currently 3 time Mr Olympia), Mentzer and Platz have been training for the past year for this competition and I have [looks at calendar] 2 months? What the hell - I like challenges!"
So as you can guess, the film charts Arnie's meteoric achievement of winning his unprecedented 7th crown. The film is truly inspiring and unexpectedly poignant in places: the bodybuilder who has won more than any titles than any other admits to feeling exposed and nervous on stage. However, the true value of this film is in its inspirational undertones. I'm not going to attempt to capture the essence of the film in an elegantly crafted sentence or two. Instead, ill advise you all to watch this film, and ill get myself down to the gym!
