Even if you're not a Body Building enthusiast you will love it. These Guys are Legends of the Body Building world and you can't help but to admire their dedication.

This is quite simply one of the greatest docs ever made. Lou Ferrigno (original Hulk) is great and a real underdog in this, as is Mike Katz. However, Arnie is pure gold. His forced arrogance and natural charisma are the star of the show.
