What I love about the movie is that it shows what is really necessary to build a great looking and massive physique. Sure chemical supplementation was involved for the highlighted bodybuilders, but hard work played a crucial part. Regarding what Arnold was talking about - I love the workout pump, it is like a runners high. It's almost as good as the feeling I have knowing I leave the gym stronger than when I entered. I think if more people worked out to the point of experiencing the pump feeling, more people would make pumping iron a regular part of their life.

I also need to comment - 85 lb dumbbell flys (I think that's what Arnold had in each hand) is absolutely insane... I've never seen anyone do those in any of the gyms I've been to... wow; that's a ton of weight!

The other night on ABC Nightline, it was about how Arnold was in trouble with his re-election for governor. Arnold said that he never gives up. He mentioned how it took him the 11th time before he could bench press 500 lbs. Amazing!

Yes, Arnold has one of a kind genetics and took outrageous amounts of steroids, but the pump means jack ****.
