Title: Pumping Iron Just Watched
Post by: TTfit on February 20, 2016, 12:26:44 PM
Heard about it for years. It's on Netflix I just watched it. Good stuff. Can not believe we got away from those type of physiques. Quadriceps nowadays look stupid. They aren't streamlined at all. Big quads look goofy. Fuck the "teardrop". You can tell Lou is an asshole even as a youngin. The camaraderie back then is how it should be now.

Would recommend.

GOAT movie.  I survived during the years that the movie was out of print and wasn't easily accessible.  Those were tough times.

"The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens."

that guy always made me laugh.

I want a full interview with the guy picking his nose whole Arnold is doing the crossovers while chewing his gum.
Then the guy with the black fro doing unilateral dumbell curls we see in a scene with Lou at his gym. He's wearing a white v neck, that scene if funny, not sure why, just is...

Pumping Iron is still the pinnacle moment in all of bodybuilding. One would have hoped that in forty years something to surpass Pumping Iron would have happened. Alas, it has not.

Arnold's looks and charisma is what drove the whole thing.  Impossible to duplicate.  He took something odd and made it cool, now it's odd again.

Was that black dude next to you a friend of yours ? I remember when I watched it for the first time 30+ years ago I noticed how big his arms were which is difficult when wearing a tracksuit top. Looks like he was a bit of a monster. Bigger than Joey who was being cheered on by his overexcited girlfriend.

225 pound cheat curls,485 squat,80 pound flyes,etc. etc.  and he was just 17-18 years old .....had 30 inch quads.


Talked to him on the phone just yesterday.....he`s a fatso now though.

Sort of surprised they haven't done a hi-def transfer from the original negatives for a release on blu-ray.  At this point, the film could be considered culturally significant.

This would look fantastic with a nice 4k restoration.

Dude,I honestly believe that he would have been a great IFBB pro..............never saw anyone train as hard as he did and I mean anyone.


He even had awesome calves reminiscant of Dickerson.
