Скачать или смотреть Raising the Bar (2005 full video) REMASTERED - the original true life bodybuilding documentary

The true to life bodybuilding documentary from 2005 that started it all, now remastered, and for the first time the complete video is FREE to view on YouTube!

Raising the Bar was one of the first of a new wave of realistic and honest bodybuilding documentaries that inspired the likes of Generation Iron and a score of amateur filmmakers and athletes who began to show the sport of bodybuilding as it really is, warts and all.

In 2005, bodybuilding documentaries were “sets and reps” videos, showing the training and some of the dieting, but mostly unedited and never really getting into the motivations of the competitors or the trials and tribulations of this extreme sport.

In 2004 amateur filmmaker Mike Pulcinella used an inexpensive video camera to tape his brother Dave’s journey to compete in the Delaware State/East Coast Classic bodybuilding competition.

Little did he know the moments of heartache and triumph he would capture or how this little film, originally created for his family to enjoy, would explode in popularity within the bodybuilding community.

For the first time bodybuilders had a true documentary about a sport/art that is still greatly misunderstood by the general public.

Now RTB1 has been remastered with improved images, enhanced sound and updated music for a new generation to enjoy.
