Did I think anything could top Sat. Sept. 20th 2008, How little did I truly know, Wow!

The moral of this story is never say never!

Just may have been one of, if not the greatest days in my Life!

The second foray in to the precontest prep documentaries from Mitsuru Okabe, again as with the previous volume they havent quite found their stride with thier format but you can begin to see the subtle changes in the presentation of these documentaries.

Again not the typical documentary fair there is not much in the way of narration except for some brief voiceovers and interviews by some of the Pros in particular throughout the series you can always count on Shawn Ray to have something of interest to say.

More than anything these films give a glimpse into the contest prep for the pros preparing for that yrs Mr. O and while they do eventually follow all the competitors to the final venue and press conferance and maybe even a little backsatge these films contain no contest footage but do offer a montage of stills and they give a breakdown of the placings at the end.

general Synopsis from the DVD: The sheer power and strength of some of the planet’s best professional bodybuilders are on full display as they prepare to muscle their way to their sport’s highest honor. Oiling up and getting ready for the tough 1997 Olympia showdown are iron-pumpers

As thr previous volume this was filmed in both B/W and color ,not rated and filmed in full screen. I offer up this info more as a overview as opposed to a review, to each his own but a interesting look inside the life of the Pros none the less.

I have started watching the video series Battle for the Olympia. These DVDs are documentaries of a sort which follow the Professional BBs through their contest prep for the upcoming O each yr. I will refrain from making in depth critiques of the DVDs as I believe whether their style suits your taste or not they are an intersting watch as they give a glimpse into the lives of the Pros.

This particular DVD is filmed both in B/W and color and features interviews and training footage, there is no contest footage as these are all about the process leading up to the big day. This being the first DVD in the series they obviously had not quite got down the format but this is still as good a starting point as any for beginning watching this series.

Synopsis:Some of the world’s top professional bodybuilders pose and flex their way to the pinnacle of their sport in this full-bodied video featuring plenty of backstage action. Preparing to flaunt their fabulous physiques as they face off in the 1996 Olympia competition
