pumping iron

[damoonz63]

i think its a damn shame pumping iron isn't on netflix. its not even available through itunes. that would be a great movie to watch while jogging on the treadmil (no tv in the garage so i gotta use the ipad), but you can't do it. i hadda vent.

on netflix lol... But yeah, I've seen it a good 30 times and will never tire of watching that one.

I have had several copies of it yes most of us have seen it too many times to count.


The greatest feeling you can get in a gym, or the most satisfying feeling you can get in the gym is... The Pump. Let's say you train your biceps. Blood is rushing into your muscles and that's what we call The Pump. You muscles get a really tight feeling, like your skin is going to explode any minute, and it's really tight - it's like somebody blowing air into it, into your muscle. It just blows up, and it feels really different. It feels fantastic.

It's as satisfying to me as, uh, coming is, you know? As, ah, having sex with a woman and coming. And so can you believe how much I am in heaven? I am like, uh, getting the feeling of coming in a gym, I'm getting the feeling of coming at home, I'm getting the feeling of coming backstage when I pump up, when I pose in front of 5,000 people, I get the same feeling, so I am coming day and night. I mean, it's terrific. Right? So you know, I am in heaven.
