    The documentary shows what it's like to be at the top of the bodybuilding scene and the endurance that is required once you've reached the top level.
    This is the full version of the documentary originally filmed for QNT supplements and FLEX magazine.

    I don't really understand why is it so much hate? Shawn Rhoden is one of the most inspiring and humble BBers.

    Exactly. I have shot with MuscleTech. At the end of a photo shoot, its like an entire workout. youre shot. youve repeated the shot 4,5,6 times before they get the shot they want. Youre holding the weight, flexing your abs, trying to make your veins pop, all while maintaining the facial expression they look for. Good looks Sean Rhoden for keeping it real and giving insight on what bodybuidling, fitness modeling is all about.

    Deffinatly motivational some days you feel like shit but this guy gets it in everyday no matter what he doesnt seem miserable it seems like a man who know what he has to do and will go to any length to acheive it you constantly see him eating his meals, gets his workout in after a 5 hour photo shoot and does cardio while on little sleep and makes all the changes he needs to accomidate his day the night prior. Awesome video awesome guy!

    Wow, I remember watching this when it came out and thinking what a cool guy but he's probably not going to be Mr Olympia or anything. 4 years later he's Mr Olympia! Amazing progress. Inspiring! Congrats!

  • @jadep.1255
    @jadep.1255 Před 10 lety +3

    Shawn was training...not at a competition...it was traveling and raw reality about the sport...Plus he was TIRED and caught off guard about the photo shoot. He didn't sugar coat anything...it's not all glitz glam and muscles...it's grueling work at times...#Dedication #Much respect!

    Thanks for this upload Erik Thorsvik. I continue to run into incredible people in the bodybuilding world. I love this sport and how it opens up to ordinary people in a way that football, baseball, and basketball never do. Shawn's legs are unreal!

    • @ErikThorsvik
      @ErikThorsvik  Před 10 lety +1

      Absolutely! Thanks for watching. Shawn is a very upbeat individual regardless of what others are saying on the video.... it was very close to a show and an extremely long day of travel and lifting. We wanted to show his dedication to the sport and to show what future pro's what they'll be in for. To show "What it Takes."

    • @maxedoutmotivation8430
      @maxedoutmotivation8430 Před 10 lety

      +Erik Thorsvik: Shawn is amazing. Seeing him battle it out with Wolf solidified that in my mind. It ain't easy being successful. It doesn't matter how you feel you still have to get it done. I saw that in Shawn while watching the vid. That is why is one of the best in the world and will b till he retires.

  • @DanAmzallagPhD

    Yeh I agree, why can't there be an element of charisma and excitement throughout ones training endeavours. Hence why young dudes look up to zyzz/seid instea of someone like this dude who arguably is more driven and possesses more life building qualities. Boring az

  • @braybrown8260
    @braybrown8260 Před 10 lety

    All it takes to be a bodybuilder is $ cash Money because steroids are very expensive no pro bodybuilder got to where they are by natural ability. If you don't take gear your not going to be shit.

    • @Last_brain_cell555
      @Last_brain_cell555 Před 10 lety +7

      You are forgetting, hard work, dedication, discipline and tones of genetics. All the steroids in the world won't give you naturally small joints, low lat insertions and crazy muscle bellies. And without the discipline to eat 6-8 times a day, all clean food and going to the gym 5-6 times a week, maybe even twice a day, gear and genetics still won't make you into a pro. Maybe learn a little something about the sport before you go shooting your mouth off like you know everything.

    • @Last_brain_cell555
      @Last_brain_cell555 Před 10 lety

      ***** The argument was that all it took to become a successful bodybuilder was money. I listed other things that were required other than money. You are now supporting the argument that all it takes is money...... by trivializing dedication and comparing it to working a shitty job. I am just confused on your whole argument, you are not making much sense. 99 percent of bodybuilders have side jobs as bouncers, trainers or even shitty desk jobs because only the top 15 in the world can really make a living at only doing bodybuilding. Where do you think their money comes from? Mommy and Daddy? They work for that money to put into food and gear, as well as doing all the other shit required to be a bodybuilder. I literally don't even know what your genetics comment is supposed to mean. Remember the argument, all it takes is money, I countered with genetics, and then you said...... you can't take credit for that..... I really do not want to get into a youtube argument with someone who can't even construct a counter argument logically, do not respond you are out of your depth, have a good day bro, btw my name is also Angelo, fucking weird haha

Bodies made in the 60´s and 70´s with a perfect symmetry and proportion ,, that what i like ,, todays bodybuiling is just a joke seriously ,, these are idiots who take GH and all that shit around just to get big ,, and now all of these idiots dies when they are 40 years old not more,,,todays bodybuilind is all about Roids and ghg , insulin and gods know what is more ,,
