Pumping Iron II: The Women (1985) Review

Pumping Iron II: The Women  (1985)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This short documentary explores the world of competitive female bodybuilding during the early 1980's. This film is true to the era with heavy makeup, spandex, bad hair and a moonwalk included during a posing routine. The film ponders the the level of acceptable muscularity that a woman should posess and examines the judging of a competitor who at the time was bigger than any other woman who ever stood on the competitive stage -- Australian power lifter Bev Francis. By current standards, Bev would fit right in and might actually be on the small side as compared to other female professional bodybuilders, but by 1983's standards, she was considered a freak. Neither the judges nor the competitors could come to a consensus about the ideal. The first Ms. Olympia Rachel McLish was more along the lines of what the public expected of female bodybuilders -- sleek, with some definition and feminine. McLish and the others look more like today's fitness competitors. Carla Dunlap had considerable size, but was still smaller than Francis who she said "Has muscularity that most men would envy."
Female bodybuilding is still a fringe activity, and this film shows some of what the pioneers endured in the early days. And much like today, the officials and trainers are mostly male.
I enjoyed this movie for its camp value, but it's also a nice history lesson for female physique competitors.

The virtue of this DVD is that it is like a beauty contest except that noone is asked their views on pollution or global warming, nor do they have to play the harmonica or have their trained monkey perform for the "talent competition". Better that a beauty competition be in a bikini and let the male chauvinist judges(and female ones) make the decision. Hooters is a large and powerful organization and as such, they have a wonderful cross-section of American women in this. In other words, it's pretty (darn) good...

Kayak Outfitting, Outfitting Your Kayak For Fishing Review

Kayak Outfitting, Outfitting Your Kayak For Fishing

I found this video to be excellent overall and it gives a great overview on getting your sit-on-top kayak (sorry - not much here for the sit-in kayak folks) ready for fishing by showing you how to properly install various equipment such as fishfinders, rod holders and even an anchor trolley system. I have been customizing my kayak in a similar fashion and was looking for tips on positioning items such as my anchor as well as how to install a fishfinder transducer internally and found spot-on information here. Cory does a great job of explaining how to install these items and even how to use a rivet gun to do some of it (it's the only way to install on certain blind spots on a kayak where you can't reach inside). He could have probably shown some of the more traditional, "homemade" ways many people rig their kayaks such as using PVC tubes for rod holders in plastic milk crates instead of buying all the equipment kits, as he recommends here, but this is nit-picking since you can't really go wrong with any of the kits and equipment that he uses. There is only so much you can get off the online youtube videos and written books (I probably own every one on kayak fishing including the one by Cory) and watching a professional kayak fisherman show you how it's done in this video format is as close to having him with you to guide you. I only wish I had watched this sooner before I began working on my kayak (especially the rivet gun piece).

NHL Original 6: NY Rangers Stanley Cup Champions 1994 - DVD Review

Clearly 5 stars for the overall quality and packaging of this set (even includes Mark Messier Night as a bonus.) However, I take away a star for the games not being completely uncut (e.g., the end of Game 6 vs. Devils - the skirmish between Anderson & Nichols is edited out.) A relatively minor point perhaps since no game time is lost, but this is still annoying and totally unnecessary. Regardless, a nice and overdue DVD addition to any hockey fan's library--especially Rangers fans! Also, die-hard Ranger fans beware: some games are taken from the ESPN feeds, so no Sam & J.D. Although it is interesting to see and hear these games via a different lens and commentary, I was a bit disappointed in this production choice for some of these games.

The SyberVision Impact Zone Personal Golf Mastery System Review

I purchased this product about two months ago, and so far I am very pleased with it. I purchased Bobby Clampett's impact book three years ago and I absolutely loved it. When I found this item while browsing Amazon one day, I just had to get it.
I have a lot of respect for Bobby Clampett and I loved how he explained the concept of his five Dynamics in his book, and to see him teach these dynamics in this training package is even better. As for the SyberVision part of this packaqe, I try to watch a little each day. I believe that it is helping me with my overall golf swing and I am looking forward to watching more of it.
If you are a fan of Bobby Clampett and his teaching philosophy, I would highly recommend this SyberVision program.

New Golf Training Technology Promises to Lower Your Handicap by 50% or More

Bobby Clampett, PGA Tour golfer and CBS Sports golf analyst studied great PGA tour golfers' swings to see what it was that made them great. Using CBS Sports' super slow motion SwingVision camera, Clampett discovered that eventhough these golfers all had different swing styles, they all impacted the ball (the deepest part of their divot) 5 to 6 inches in front of the ball.

Clampett then studied recreational golfers and learned they impact the ball 4 to 5 inches behind the ball a difference of up to 10 inches between hackers and pros.

Clampett learned that for every 1 inch recreational golfers move their divot forward, they would cut 4 strokes off their handicaps.

For example, if you are a 100-golfer (28 handicapper) and you could move your divot forward by 4 inches (the length of your baby finger) , you would quickly cut 16 strokes off your handicap.

Clampett then discovered 5 swing dynamics, that if learned, and made instinctual, would allow golfers at all levels to hit consistently in the positive impact score and dramatically reduce their scores. But how to do this? That's where SyberVision comes in.

Through extensive research at the Stanford University Neuropsychology Laboratory, SyberVision researchers learned how to take a filmed image of a model golfer performing a perfect golf swing and transfer than image into your body as if you had physically practiced the perfect swing--over and over again. As you watch the specially-edited SyberVision video your nervous system experiences the equivalent of hours of perfect practice in only a few minutes of viewing.

The end result is that you gain mastery over the golf swing and your scores plummet.

This powerful SyberVision visual learning technology was recently selected by Golf Magazines' Top 100 Instructors as the best golf video training ever!

In this program, Bobby Clampett introduces and explains his Impact Zone discovery and teaches the 5 dynamics. Clampett's swing is then presented using SyberVision's visual learning technology so that those dynamics and the perfect swing become a permanent part of your golf muscle memory.

Program Contents A complete, step-by-step training system on 4 disks.

1. Computer CD-ROM: Video-annoatated program introduction and interactive personal golf training and mastery guide. Plus, Bobby Clampett interview in which he shares how he made the impact zone discovery and details how it will revolutionize golf instruction and performance.

2. Impact Zone Clinic DVD: Bobby Clampett explains his impact zone discovery and teaches the 5 dynamics that allow golfers to quickly and easily cut their scores. Bobby also demonstrates 5 drills that help you get the feel for each of the 5 dynamics. You'll also see the correct impact zone swing modeled in super slow motion -- captured by the most powerful slow motion camera in the world.

3. SyberVision Muscle Memory Programming DVD: You'll learn about the SyberVision film-to-brain training system and experience the training as Bobby models each club from the driver to putting -- 60 minute of pure visual and muscle memory learning. Includes 7-minute "Muscle Memory Activator" and video.

4. Soundtrack CD: Through repeated watching of the muscle memory video, the images and sound (music and sweet spot golf sounds) become associated and linked in your mind. When you listen to the soundtrack by itself, the swing images stored in your mind are reinforced helping to further ingrain the correct swing dynamics in your muscle memory.
