The Registry Hotel
Entrance

00:00:40.654 --> 00:00:43.352
Hi, I'm Tom Flats.

00:00:43.352 --> 00:00:46.812
Welcome to Hollywood, California.
Universal Studios.

00:00:46.812 --> 00:00:49.763
Site of the 1998 Mr. Olympia contest.

00:00:49.763 --> 00:00:52.917
Bodybuilders from all over the world
are here to compete tonight

00:00:53.017 --> 00:00:56.616
for the Mr. Olimpia contest.
Bodybuilding's most prestigious event.

00:00:56.616 --> 00:01:00.466
The favorite tonight, of course,
is Mr. Olympia Lee Haney.

00:01:00.466 --> 00:01:03.910
Lee Hayney has won it four times in a row.
Can he win it five times?

00:01:03.910 --> 00:01:07.756
And can he ever dream of coming close to
matching Arnold Schwarzenegger's record,

00:01:07.756 --> 00:01:09.758
of wining it seven times?

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.

00:01:17.907 --> 00:01:21.998
And, there's a lot of speculatiion.
This year, it's gonna be official.

00:01:21.998 --> 00:01:24.273
You'll see them, and then
you'll know what they weigh.

00:01:24.273 --> 00:01:26.828
Take your seats gentlemen.
First bodybuilder, Richcus Barry.


00:01:27.987 --> 00:01:30.831
Rich has focused this year was,

00:01:30.831 --> 00:01:34.172
reducing his body weight over last year.

00:01:34.172 --> 00:01:36.585
He was too heavy last year
and appeared to blocky on stage.

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,

00:01:40.768 --> 00:01:42.651
more of a viable threat to Lee.

00:01:42.651 --> 00:01:45.805
Two hundred nine and a half pounds.

00:01:47.565 --> 00:01:50.101
I'm going into this show,

00:01:50.101 --> 00:01:52.232
going in the best that I can be.

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,

00:01:55.919 --> 00:01:58.662
"Man, does Barry look phenomenal."

00:01:58.662 --> 00:02:01.152
"Does Barry look the best shape
I've ever seen him?"

00:02:01.152 --> 00:02:02.581
You know, and to me,

00:02:02.581 --> 00:02:05.169
that's more satisfaction
than winning this contest.

00:02:05.169 --> 00:02:09.468
But, you know, I was saying this
the whole way training for this contest

00:02:09.468 --> 00:02:12.295
and out comes down to the wire
and I wanna win.

00:02:12.295 --> 00:02:13.618
I wanna win this thing bad.

00:03:09.938 --> 00:03:13.016
You know that I feel that I've improved
my symetry.

00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:17.005
I kept that mass in my upper body,
but I lost it all in the waist

00:03:17.005 --> 00:03:18.895
so I have more of a streamline physique.

00:03:18.895 --> 00:03:21.473
Having a small waist but a
thicker upper body.

00:03:21.473 --> 00:03:22.659
A thicker back.

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.516
Everyone says my back's improved and
my arms have improved.

00:03:25.516 --> 00:03:27.523
Plus I think that with time and maturity,

00:03:27.523 --> 00:03:29.550
competing in the Mr. Olimpia.

00:03:29.550 --> 00:03:31.602
I started competing in the Mr. Olimpia
at 22 years old.

00:03:31.602 --> 00:03:33.452
I was relatively young.

00:03:33.452 --> 00:03:36.261
And being that young,
I feel like my muscles haven't matured yet.

00:03:36.261 --> 00:03:39.794
Now being 25, they,
they seem to look a lot more mature.

00:03:39.794 --> 00:03:41.398
They have more of that density.
