Muscletime Pro World Part 2
This dvd includes highlights from the 2005 Charlotte Grand Prix, an interview with Quincy Taylor along with a posing display and some in the gym action, George Farah working out (older footage from 2002) and his Charlotte posing routine, and finally a section they call “oldtimers” with some older early 90’s fibo footage.
Ok, now you have an idea of what to look for, let me tell you why you will want to add this dvd to your collection.
The dvd starts off with some backstage footage from the 2005 Charlotte Pro which took place only two short weeks prior to the Olympia. Some athletes used this show as a last chance to qualify for the “O” while others used it to tune up for the big one.
One of the athletes here to qualify was Dennis James. Since the IFBB ruled that only the top 6 from the Olympia qualify for next year, Dennis’ 2004 eighth place, didn’t cut it. So you know Dennis took this contest very seriously. Well the backstage footage starts with Dennis. Let me say that this footage is almost worth the price of the dvd. The backstage lighting combined with Dennis’ mass and condition, reminds me of some of those old classic Arnold photo’s from the early 70’s. Dennis’ arms, delts, chest and back and his legs are all huge an ripped. Dennis looks like his muscles are ready to explode.
Highlights from the Charlotte pro prejudging are next. In some regards this is how a pro show should be filmed. Up close camera angles, clear video quality, and showing only the top guys. By that I mean you get to see Dennis, Branch, Mustafa, Quincy, Fakari, George Farah and Craig Richardson, represent the top 7. You do not have to sit through some pro’s who didn’t peak properly. Only the best are shown. You see the individual mandatories, followed by the comparisons and then the evening posing routines and posedown. This was obviously a well run show with great lighting and great athletes.
Next up is an interesting segment staring Quincy Taylor. You see an in the room interview in which Quincy, as he discuss his career the day before the Olympia. Then we see his Charlotte performance, followed by a gym workout the day after the Olympia. The in the gym workout is interesting mainly because Quincy was not too happy with the Olympia.
The George Farah segment was interesting too, and very entertaining. I really cannot put my finger on why George his impressive. He is big and ripped, but also has some flaws such as a wide waist and distended belly. But he is grainy and ripped. So its basically your preference.
The “oldtimers” section is really cool. The first segment is Gary Strydom at close to his all time best. Ripped and super thick. I have never seen Gary compete in video other then the 1988 Olympia. This segment was very cool. The next scene is the famous posedown scene with Dorian Yates, and Victor Richards. These 2 were beasts, dwarfing the other pros at fibo which included Nasser, Cormier, Wheeler and Dillet. It’s a shame they never competed against one another, that would have been a classic showdown. I would like to thank Muscletime for putting this on dvd. Thanks muscletime (GMV is the only other video company that has this footage). We also see a back workout of Tommi Thorvildson followed by some awesome footage of Lee Priest in his room prior to the 2002 Arnold Classic.
This is an awesome dvd. A must for anyone’s collection.
