00:00:40,654 --> 00:00:43,352
Hi, I'm Tom Flats.

5
00:00:43,352 --> 00:00:46,812
Welcome to Hollywood, California.
Universal Studios.

6
00:00:46,812 --> 00:00:49,763
Site of the 1998 Mr. Olympia contest.

7
00:00:49,763 --> 00:00:52,917
Bodybuilders from all over the world
are here to compete tonight

8
00:00:53,017 --> 00:00:56,616
for the Mr. Olimpia contest.
Bodybuilding's most prestigious event.

9
00:00:56,616 --> 00:01:00,466
The favorite tonight, of course,
is Mr. Olympia Lee Haney.

10
00:01:00,466 --> 00:01:03,910
Lee Hayney has won it four times in a row.
Can he win it five times?

11
00:01:03,910 --> 00:01:07,756
And can he ever dream of coming close to
matching Arnold Schwarzenegger's record,

12
00:01:07,756 --> 00:01:09,758
of wining it seven times?

13
00:01:14,317 --> 00:01:17,907
Over the years we have heard a lot about
the weights of the bodybuilders,
in the magazines.

14
00:01:17,907 --> 00:01:21,998
And, there's a lot of speculatiion.
This year, it's gonna be official.

15
00:01:21,998 --> 00:01:24,273
You'll see them, and then
you'll know what they weigh.

16
00:01:24,273 --> 00:01:26,828
Take your seats gentlemen.
First bodybuilder, Richcus Barry.


17
00:01:27,987 --> 00:01:30,831
Rich has focused this year was,

18
00:01:30,831 --> 00:01:34,172
reducing his body weight over last year.

19
00:01:34,172 --> 00:01:36,585
He was too heavy last year
and appeared to blocky on stage.

20
00:01:36,585 --> 00:01:40,768
And making his waist look small,
he feels he'll be able to be more of a threat,

21
00:01:40,768 --> 00:01:42,651
more of a viable threat to Lee.

22
00:01:42,651 --> 00:01:45,805
Two hundred nine and a half pounds.

23
00:01:47,565 --> 00:01:50,101
I'm going into this show,

24
00:01:50,101 --> 00:01:52,232
going in the best that I can be.

25
00:01:52,232 --> 00:01:55,919
And that's what I wanna do. I wanna go in,
to this show, with people saying,

26
00:01:55,919 --> 00:01:58,662
"Man, does Barry look phenomenal."

27
00:01:58,662 --> 00:02:01,152
"Does Barry look the best shape
I've ever seen him?"

28
00:02:01,152 --> 00:02:02,581
You know, and to me,

29
00:02:02,581 --> 00:02:05,169
that's more satisfaction
than winning this contest.

30
00:02:05,169 --> 00:02:09,468
But, you know, I was saying this
the whole way training for this contest

31
00:02:09,468 --> 00:02:12,295
and out comes down to the wire
and I wanna win.

32
00:02:12,295 --> 00:02:13,618
I wanna win this thing bad.

33
00:03:09,938 --> 00:03:13,016
You know that I feel that I've improved
my symetry.

34
00:03:13,016 --> 00:03:17,005
I kept that mass in my upper body,
but I lost it all in the waist

35
00:03:17,005 --> 00:03:18,895
so I have more of a streamline physique.

36
00:03:18,895 --> 00:03:21,473
Having a small waist but a
thicker upper body.

37
00:03:21,473 --> 00:03:22,659
A thicker back.

38
00:03:22,659 --> 00:03:25,516
Everyone says my back's improved and
my arms have improved.

39
00:03:25,516 --> 00:03:27,523
Plus I think that with time and maturity,

40
00:03:27,523 --> 00:03:29,550
competing in the Mr. Olimpia.

41
00:03:29,550 --> 00:03:31,602
I started competing in the Mr. Olimpia
at 22 years old.

42
00:03:31,602 --> 00:03:33,452
I was relatively young.

43
00:03:33,452 --> 00:03:36,261
And being that young,
I feel like my muscles haven't matured yet.

44
00:03:36,261 --> 00:03:39,794
Now being 25, they,
they seem to look a lot more mature.

45
00:03:39,794 --> 00:03:41,398
They have more of that density.
