This is a brand new excerpt from the bodybuilding documentary Raising the Bar 2.

Behind the scenes at the 2006 Masters Nationals in Pittsburgh, Dave Pulcinella encounters a recurring problem. Having brought his bodyfat and water to extremely low levels for the contest, his muscles begin to rebel and tighten up at the worst possible moment. Will Dave be able to continue or will he have to bow out of the competition as he was forced to do at his previous contest?

Come on Mike, I 'm on tender hooks, does he or doesn't he ?

Very well done, I 'm quite sure you are getting the reaction that you wanted to get from that scene.

Cheers John

Ha ha! Thanks. Of course it was my intention to tease people into buying the DVD but I will tell you that he made it through the competition but did not place as well as he had hoped. What added to the tension of the moment was that earlier in the day a fellow competitor had died from a more extreme version of the same problem! This is a very extreme sport indeed!

Here's a clip about that, if you are interested...

It has EVERYTHING to do with diuretics...as I think you already know. ;-)

Agreed. It was very difficult for me to continue taping while watching my brother go through that agony backstage knowing how dangerous that condition can be.

Mike, not sure whether I've commented on your work before but just wanted to chime in to say I'm impressed with your documentary techniques. Whilst body building isn't my thing, your short clip kept me hooked. Good luck with the DVD!

Thank you Christian. As I'm sure you know, that is one of the best compliments I can get! I know that bodybuilding is an esoteric subject with a very small fan base. If I can hold the attention of a non-bodybuilding fan then I've done my job!
