Raising the Bar 2 - Advance clip

[gatomjp]

Hi everyone!

It's Mike Pulcinella, brother of Dave. I'm deep into the editing of Raising the Bar 2 and thought that some of you might be interested to see a short clip from one of the completed sections of the documentary. It's coming along nicely but I still have a long way to go! In the meantime, thanks for all your kind words about RTB1 and I hope you enjoy the clip.

Why do you say that? It's one of the better gyms in our area...of course it's no longer a Gold's gym anymore.

Thanks Mike, your opinion means a lot to me. You will be one of the first to know when it's done.

Actually Victor appears very briefly in that clip as one of Dave's workout partners, (he's doing the incline dumbbell bench press) but other than a brief "Where are they now?" kind of thing, we are going to concentrate on Dave and Jenn almost exclusively.

Sorry about the lack of naked women. I've been trying to come up with a project that will allow me to stop videotaping my brother's big ass and videotape some hot chicks instead. I'd head down to Florida for spring break...but that's already been done!

[Bluto]

form of those lat pulldowns in the beginning leaves a lot to be desired

[SteelePegasus]

He needs to learn how to train better

needs to lean what inertia is ...he should be going slower and focus on the eccentric movements and control of the weights..

I know but have you seen his lats? Whatever he's doing...it seems to work!

[Gregzs]

Looks good. When will it be ready for release?

how can you argue with the results tho?
Dave is one big freaky guy............obviously whatever he is doing works
i like Daves dedication and love for the sport (it motivates me)
and Laura loves the segments on Jenn
we look forward to it's release

I get asked that question often...mostly by Dave! I have a day job so I can only work on it at night and on the weekends in my "spare time", but I am doing as much as I can and hope to be done by spring. In the meantime we might post a couple more clips on Youtube. I'll let you know here if I do.

Many would have a few things to say about his "form" (or lack there of).

Dave is one big freaky f**cker............obviously whatever he is doing works

This is a typical meathead response (no offense Mike), not to mention avoiding injuries, how do you know if he trained with proper form he would not look better? (all other things....ie drugs...kept the same)

What is up with drinking out of a bowl?

[The Squadfather]

gayest looking "video" i've ever seen, horrible form with tiny weights being lifted, receding hairlines, purple skin, earrings, gay spandex, 195lb. guys wearing NPC string tank tops and baggy sweatshirts, just horrible all around, nice try though.

LOL! Good point. I'll have to defer all these questions to my brother. I'm sure he has answers for all of them, he is very well thought-out. He'll prolly check in and post a little later.

Mike, he is ego training on the pull downs..

what results? he looks like a typical gym rat on gear..nothing special

Oh wow. Well, I guess you're not in our target audience then!! Ha ha! Thanks for the "constructive criticism" anyway. But how do you like the editing?? That's all I care about!  ;-)

[michael arvilla]

Did you guys see the first one "Raising The Bar" ??
it quickly became a "cult favorite" it was/is an inside look at this sport we love so much from a true bodybuilders perspective,humorous,intense and detailed
unlike so many "training tapes" this one was a in-depth look into our lives as seen thru Mikes lens

Raising The bAR # 2 I eagerly look forward too

[The Squadfather]

that clip had every bad stereotype about bodybuilders you can imagine, can you imagine how horrible this guys genetics are that he appears to be honestly 205 pounds yet is on so much drugs that his head turns purple from doing behind the head extensions with a pusssy 70lb. dumbbell?

[Pollux]

Hellz yeah. Been waitin' for this shit, yo.
What quarter are you lookin' at for its release?

those legs extention were a joke..yes, it was the full rack but if you look carefully his lower back is doing most of the work

[Blockhead]

 The CLOSEUP of the leg extension scene was for 'schomes only'. I guess to make some money they have to appeal to the homos so...

 I never seen such awful form on standing dumbbell lateral raises or even seated leg curls.

 I also thought the NPC 'wear' and the spandez 'OTOMIX' get-up went out 6 years ago?

 Then the 'interview' on the ever so comfy looking couch and camera close up of their face showing them resting in between sets holding a look of deep concentration and pain.

 Thumbs down.

in all fairness that could have been his 3rd superset...based on his build he should be pushing more than that

i'm going to give Dave some advice because he seems like a nice guy on here, lose the earrings, the string tank, the baggy sweatshirt, the Otomix, the drinking out of a bowl, the penciled in "beard", drop the drug use to half of current amounts and put on some size, wear a normal t shirt and pants and drop the pre workout stimulants, he'll be golden if he does all that.
