'Must See' Bodybuilding/Workout DVDs

I’m sure this has been done over the years, but I’m not finding what I want searching. I know there are a few threads that point to youtube vids of bb/pl segments, but I’m looking for more in depth.

Looking to compile a list of “Must See” Bodybuilding (or, PL) videos, movies (Full length DVD etc, not YOUTUBE vids).

Why are they ‘must see’ to you? Is there a particular nugget of information? Impeccable form? Big ass dudes moving big ass weights? Interviews? etc.

I’m sure Ronnie Coleman vids, Arnold vids, etc. will come up, but I haven’t seen them, so feel free to list. Please only list them if you’ve actually seen them, not just because you know it exists. I’m looking for your informed reviews.

THANKS!

Shawn Ray’s final countdown. Because he talks about nutrition and vitamins.

The Battle for the olympia videos were pretty good because you get to see top competitors in one final meaningful workout.

But like you said Ronnie’s simply because the weight he is moving.

I also had a dennis james one. It was ok nothing earth shattering and Dorian Yates Blood and Guts was ok but not as intense as I thought it would be…

Ronnie’s “The Unbelievable” is full of him lifting some crazy weights and eating a whole lot. He comes across as a very likeable guy. Good DVD.

Jason Wojo’s DC training DVD is very informative on DC training and covers everything you need to know. There’s some pretty funny stuff in there too. Also some silly weights being lifted.

Justin Harris’ Project Superheavyweight also features some crazy weights with the man himself and Steve Kucklo doing the 3-day DC split. Also features a complete nutrition DVD.

Finally, I last bought David Henry’s Xtreme Measures. It even features him playing the drums. It’s not a “must see” unless you follow David Henry, but it is shows his version of RP training, and explains his massive progress in recent years and probably why he has the best back pound for pound at the moment.

I like John Hansens dvd’s. Practical and useful.

Something tells me that you read intensemuscle :wink:

Agreed on the DVD’s.
Ronnie’s “Cost of Redemption” is also pretty neat.

Btw, Markus Rühl’s DVD’s are pretty cool… Big and Loving it as well as Made in Germany. Some funny scenes of him shopping with his wife in there, too (that guy seen from the back is just impossibly wide… And people have a hard time believing what they’re seeing lol).

Yates’ DVD (obviously) is another good candidate…

I think Frank McGrath’s Animal training stuff could be in there, though I’m not sure about “must see”.

Since almost every pro trains the same (yates being somewhat of an exception here), almost all the training footage is the same “ramp up weight over 3-4 sets, 2-4 exercises per bodypart”, etc.

I like the DC DVD’s like Justin Harris’ p. shw and Dave Henry’s extreme measures as well as Wojo’s due to them showing a different training style as well and you might find one or two great exercises in there that you weren’t aware of, previously.

Robby Robinson’s Built.
http://robbyrobinson.net/
(At the very least, check out the trailer for it on his site, in the Videos section.)

Because I turn 30 this year, and Robby’s DVD completely erased any excuse I could come up with for not lifting over the next three and a half decades, and beyond.

Great info so far-- keep them coming.

Even if someone lists one that you were going to, feel free to chime in on why you liked the DVD.

Again, any one of us can go find a list of DVD’s/Videos – I’m looking for recommendations based on one’s that you’ve purchased (or acquired) and seen and thought it to be valuable (or sh*tty).

I’ll summarize later with a list and descriptions. Hopefully we can have a list of ‘Essential DVD’s for Building Muscle’.

Ronnie Coleman’s Unbeliveable is a good watch.

I just downloaded and watched Levrone’s ‘Full Blown’ which was ok. It was good but probably better for fans of Kevin.
