This is a brand new excerpt from the bodybuilding documentary Raising the Bar 2.

Behind the scenes at the 2006 Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh, Dave Pulcinella encounters a recurring problem. Having brought his bodyfat and water to extremely low levels for the contest, his muscles begin to rebel and tighten up at the worst possible moment. Will Dave be able to continue or will he have to bow out of the competition as he was forced to do at his previous contest?

and to think that fucking warrior got flamed when Arvilla posted his pics from that show up. Respect to that guy. I would cramp up like that when i worked in the oil field years back. Dehydration's a guy.

Thats what happens when you are an idiot and avoid sodium. I kept my sodium high throughout my who diet and never had a problem cramping, even at my driest

Tutoring in reading comprehension, anyone? I'm not the guy in the clip. I'm the filmmaker. That's why I spoke of Dave in the third person at the beginning of this thread. You know what 'third person" is, right?

what type of life is this where you're backstage blowing a hair dryer on yourself so you don't cramp?

BigAnt · « **Reply #13 on:** October 08, 2007, 02:06:53 PM »

Hair dryer....Dave has some feaky veins, the warmer you are the more vens you have...think he is using the heat to produce more veins...Dave?

Shit Dave, has veins all over in the off-season as well!

Genetics and low-low levels of body fat!~

Ok---ready for the hater-ade drinkers to start!

Shraded · « **Reply #14 on:** October 08, 2007, 02:26:54 PM »

Well, it says in the video he uses the blow dryer rather than pumping up with weights- well at least thats what the friend says in the interview...

He does both, actually.

I would have liked to see a little more of his training personally- without taking any of the current footage out...

i would like to know what causes him to cramp so much..i wish everyone could be honest here..my guess is lasix. whatever it is he does get dry. i give him credit he knows how to get in shape

Shraded · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2007, 05:52:08 PM »

From the looks of the dvd- he looks pretty honest and serious everytime he says he doesn't know whats causing it and I doubt they did numerous takes while he was cramping $:-\$ Mike?

LOL! Of course not. I do no "takes" at all, except possibly during formal interviews. I shoot "guerilla" style, on the fly, no set-ups, no crew. That's how I get as close to reality as I do. I interfere as little as possible. Just one man and a camera and after a while they forget that I'm there.

More dangerous than steroids are the diruetics that most competitors use on the day of the show. It causes extreme dehydration and an electrolyte imbalance...hence, cramps. Dave is perplexed because he seems to be more susceptible than most for some reason. The good news is that at his last contest (which I shot for RTB3) he used no diruetics at all, experienced no cramping and still was able to come in drier than ever!!

That's exactly right. It was his little secret...until I exposed it!!
