Arnold Schwarzenegger works the crowds, plots strategies for defeating multiple opponents, shares his parents' values with the press, and inspires legions of admirers with his resolute optimism about the future. And all of this long before he decided to run for governor of California, in 1977's hit documentary, Pumping Iron. Larger than life, though not necessarily larger than his rivals for the Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia bodybuilding titles (especially a young Lou Ferrigno, hot on Arnold's competitive trail but much less interesting), Schwarzenegger still comes across, at age 28, as a consummate politician, smart, likable, and crafty about exploiting others' psychological weaknesses. The film still feels redundant (there's only so much beefcake the human eye will tolerate), but the emotional dramas--the unrewarded hard work, the unanswered hopes--are compelling. Complete with a revealing 2003 interview with Schwarzenegger and a reunion of the film's bodybuilders and director. --Tom Keogh

Daniel Mrohs It's a fantastic career he has made. I can recommend everybody to buy this film who like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I'm a very big fan from Arnold Schwarzenegger and I have most of his films. And Pumping Iron is a fantastic review of his Bodybuilding carrer to see him in his bestform.

The fact that they made Ken Waller look like the bad guy was funny and the scene with Mike Katz with his son and daughter was funny comparing his son to him now. =) Awesome movie now im only 16 but this movie is really inspiring and when i got it in the first few days i watched it 3 times. Great movie and very accurate to a point.

Get the DVD and you will be really motivated. I watched the DVD and bought his book the Encylopedia of Bodybuilding along with Steeve Reeves book and Franco Columbo's book. I went from 172lbs to 206 lbs solid muscle, and right now im pretty jacked, trying to get to 215. This DVD motivated the HELL out of me to get my body right. I studied and learned the principles and watched what they did and applied it in my life and it really helped me.

It gives you an idea of how the body builders of that era got ready for comp by training, eating, posing practices, etc. The infamous scenes of Arnold smoking pot, and claiming that the "pump" is better than "cumming" are classic. I enjoyed this movie very much. Even if you arent a future body builder, it is worth the watch.
