:07:30
Pumped up, you know.
:07:32
Arnold Schwarzenegger, 28 years old...
:07:35
6'2", 240 pounds.
:07:38
Mr. Olympia for the past five years.
:07:41
He is preparing to defend his title
this year for the last time.

:07:44
All Mr. Universes
from the past five years or so...

:07:48
get together in one contest to find out
who is the best of all the Mr. Universes.

:07:52
So they created the Mr. Olympia contest,
which is then the top contest.

:07:56
And whoever wins that
is the top bodybuilder.

:07:58
- And you are the top bodybuilder.
- Right.

:08:00
How long have you been the top?
:08:02
I've not been beaten for the last seven years.
:08:06
And...
:08:07
I won the Mr. Olympia contest
five years now.

:08:10
This is now the sixth year.
:08:12
- They score on points?
- Yeah, on points.

:08:14
It's like judging the body
by muscularity, and by proportion...

:08:19
symmetry, the whole thing.
:08:21
Do you visualize yourself
as a piece of sculpture?

:08:23
Yeah, definitely.
:08:26
Good bodybuilders have the same mind...
:08:29
when it comes to sculpting,
than a sculptor has.

:08:31
If you analyze it,
you look in the mirror and you say:

:08:34
"I need more deltoids, more shoulders,"
so you get the proportions right.

:08:39
So what you do is you exercise...
:08:41
and put those deltoids on.
:08:43
Whereas an artist
would just slap on some clay on each side.

:08:47
Does it, maybe, the easier way.
We go through a harder way...

:08:50
because you have to do it on a human body.
:08:52
I mean, obviously a lot
of people look at you...

:08:54
and they think it's kind of strange,
what you're doing.

:08:57
But those are the people
who don't know much about it.
