It follows him through some typical training sessions. From his awesome gym in the snowy mountains of Norway to a midnight session in a commercial gym. Great man, great training attitude. Part 1 [...]
Here is an Anatoly Pisarenko documentary. It’s in Russian / Ukraine, so if you speak one of those languages it would be great if you can help with the translation in the comments. Maybe we can split it up in 5/10 minute segments like we did last time. Thanks to Nat from the Hookgrip for submitting this.

And now for some good ol’ Swollertrophy. Looks like somebody uploaded Mr. Olympia Phil Heath’s Becoming Number 13 DVD to YouTube. Still not a fan of the grotesque shapes. But if you are a fan of bodybuilding documentaries you should not skip this one. Gotta admire the passion this guy brings to the table.
