Judges.
:58:05
Final attention,
you all understand our strict code and rule.
:58:10
No talking whilst adjudicating.
:58:13
And that also means, photographers,
please do not speak to the judges.
:58:17
I'll simply will have to remove...
:58:19
Most of the judging at an international
competition takes place during the day...
:58:23
before the crowds and distractions
of the nighttime show.
:58:26
This is called the prejudging.
:58:28
Double biceps, rear.
:58:30
The judges look for three things:
:58:32
Symmetry, proportion and the size
and clarity of each muscle group.
:58:38
Olympia contestants
are judged in two classes.
:58:40
Those over 200 pounds and those under.
:58:43
At night, the two class winners
will pose off for the overall title.
:58:48
Each class poses first as a group,
for comparison judging.
:58:52
Then they come on one at a time
to perform the six compulsory poses...
:58:56
that show every part of the body.
:58:59
He's so crazy.
:59:01
What a monster.
:59:03
Oh, my God.
:59:05
These guys are like animals, man.
:59:07
I can't believe it. Look at this one now.
:59:09
See, this is the hard part right here,
look at that.
:59:17
And your lats from the rear.
:59:20
What's he got? Let's see.
:59:24
You can call him "the bat" from now on.
:59:27
- "Franco the bat."
- He could fly with that.
:59:33
Finish with the left side chest...
:59:36
and your optional routine.
:59:42
Nice shot, goddamn it.
:59:44
That guy...
It gives you chills when you watch that guy.
:59:46
I know. Isn't it unbelievable?
:59:52
Look.
:59:54
Ed Corney, a 44-year-old nightclub owner
originally from Hawaii.
:59:59
He is Franco's chief competition
in the under-200-pound class.
