Dimvasion-the review!

[1705total]

Welcome back ladies and gents to 1400totals review Page!
This time its the newest dvd to hit the market.
DIMVASION

Kris Dim's rookie season was nothing short of spectacular. 3rd in the San fran grand prix, followed up by an 11th place at the O and a successful showing in Europe.

His newest DVD was filmed 3-2 weeks out from the 2004 Olympia and is a very detail filled dvd.

Filmed with good quality as well as a very good voice over commentary along with detail filled instructions along the way, Kris takes you through his workouts.

Leaving no stone unturned, Kris shows every exercise of his contest prep.
As well as how he assist his training partner (a 50 year old guy who looks great).

In fact the only complaint I have of this dvd is that it might be, at 3 hours and 20 minutes, a tad bit too long.

Kris is in excellant shape, and let me say he has a fantastic build. Incredibly impressive shoulder to waist taper. Great delts, super thick pecs, a wide thick back, and great arms. Abs are awesome.
Yes his legs are somewhat lagging, but they have a very pleasing shape, with good calves.
Surprisingly Kris leg workout is the most intense feature in this dvd.

We also tour his home, meet his wife and kids, and his little sister who he has taken care over over the years; as well as one of his Max Muscle stores.

The guy is a true hard worker. Gaining success in business long before turning pro. He talks of his 12+ hour days (I can relate) and his undying passion for the sport.

Kris is an excellant rep for the sport.

This dvd really reminds me of Jay Cutlers "A cut above", in the way it is filmed, and how it shows us almost all aspects of Kris.

I really believe that everyone would enjoy this dvd. Of course if your a fan you love it; but if your like me(not a kris dim fan before the dvd), you'll gain more respect for Kris, and the dvd will convert you to be a fan.

Besides being a little too long and drawn out, don't expect super heavy weights or a lot of powerlifting type movements. Thats not Kris' style, but the dvd is not short on intensity either.

I give this dvd a
4 dumbells out of 5

I know Milos was supposed to have been his nutritional consultant of recent times, does he make an appearance here (maybe a dumb question, since your reviews are always in depth)?

And I'll be the first to say it, how do his tri's look? Real or um, not real?

Milos does make an appearance, however its during a posing seesion and its added as an inset (PIP) of the screen. He basically goes on to say how kris is such a good example of the sport.

And the verdict on the triceps?

Great review as always, Steve. Will add this one to my list.

Sorry Youngblood forget to say what I thought about his tris.
Well for the most the look real. His defenition of the tricep fades towards the shoulder insertions, but from the front side (ala front double bi) they look very real. They also move like they are real. So for now I give him the benefit of doubt and go with just freaky real!
