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!!
