so finally I get the video today.
I honestly must say from what I have seen (about 1.5 hours out of 6 hours) I was quite amazed with the overall production and the amount that a pro can put into his video. The fact that he spends so much time in all of his videos showing you deep inside his lifestyle and his family/social life is amazing. I am actually more excited watching that sort of stuff then him just working out.
The video is shot within the final week up to the Olympia of 2005, and there after. It shows him getting ready for the show through training and dieting strategys.
The most moving part of this dvd was when it showed Jay just before he got on stage for pre judging pumping up...then it went blank...then it shows him after coming in with his head down low and a check for $80,000+ that says "Mr. Olympia Second Place" This whole year he spent in training, also preparing himself for 17 weeks of hardcore dieting and training came down to this. All he could say was "this is bull****", a bunch of reporters wanted interviews but he just said "give me a minute" and sat there........it was really moving.
So, as I watch more I will tell more, but so far this IS the best dvd ever...blows any ronnie dvd out of the water. I like Jay cause he is alot more personable then any other top pro besides Gustavo. Mitsuru Okabe did a wonderful job filming and editing this dvd as he has done wonders with Ronnie's "Cost of Redemption" and all of Jay's dvd's
two thumbs up!
