Hey guys, I want to buy a few of the Battle for the Olympia DVD's, anybody have any good suggestions on what are the best years to buy?
-
I've got 1998 and 2007, both are pretty good. I would guess anything from the mid to late 90's would be good - Yates, Levrone, Cormier, Coleman, Ray, etc.

id go with helsinki 92 dorian winning his 1st.... 93 could be good with flex on the scene
also 98 with ronnie winning his 1st .....

I would imagine 97 would be a good year. Dorian Yates, Shawn Ray, Kevin Levrone, Flex Wheeler, Paul Dillett, Ronnie Coleman, Chris Cormier, Nasser El Sonbaty.

I have the complete collection of the BFTO series ('96-'07). 2001 and 2002 videos are pretty good.
The thing with BFTO and which one is good truly depends on the buyer. Don't get me wrong, they're all good, but my personal favorites are 1999 because of Flex Wheeler's and Chris Cormier's training segment and the other ones with Dexter Jackson in it. You see what I mean?

thanks fag face

Exactly! And Mr. Olympia '93, '94, '95, etc. This thread is about BFTO, and I'm just simply stating that the series started in '96.

Yeah, it's pretty good. The segment with the expo is pretty short, but the athletes' meeting, press conference, and backstage are pretty good lengths.
Disk one and two are the training segments. Disk three is everything else.

1996 BFTO is easily the best. It has a very raw feeling to it. 8-10 minute segments, and star power. You have IFBB stars on that tape that were never on 1 BFTO again. Truly awesome.
