Bodybuilding At Its Best!, 6 March 2001
10/10
Author: davkell from Adelaide, Australia

This is the movie that made me compete. It is an insight into the trials and tribulations of a competitive bodybuilder.

A fantastic movie to see the original Arnold, the man he was prior to his fame from movies.
