PUMPING IRON II: THE WOMEN

Pumping Iron II: The Women [DVD] is a groundbreaking documentary that brings to light the world of female bodybuilding, showcasing the incredible dedication and resilience of women in a male-dominated sport. Created by the visionary behind the iconic PUMPING IRON - the film that catapulted Arnold Schwarzenegger into stardom - this sequel shifts the spotlight to the strong and determined women who challenge societal norms of beauty and strength.

In PUMPING IRON II, viewers are introduced to five remarkable female bodybuilders:

Rachel McLish - A pioneer in women's bodybuilding, Rachel was the first woman to win the Ms. Olympia title, and her aesthetic physique redefined femininity in the sport.

Bev Francis - Known for her incredible strength and muscularity, Bev was a champion bodybuilder and a major advocate for women in strength sports.

Lori Bowen - A competitor driven by a passion for fitness, Lori's journey showcases the hard work and sacrifices required in the realm of competitive bodybuilding.

Carla Dunlap - With an impressive career in bodybuilding and fitness modeling, Carla made her mark as both a competitor and a role model for aspiring female athletes.

Lydia Cheng - As a rising star in the bodybuilding scene, Lydia embodies the spirit of determination and serves as an inspiration to many in the Asian-American community.

These five women prepare for the prestigious Caesars Palace World Cup Championship, an event that tests their physical and mental limits. The film captures their rigorous training regimes, which include:

Intensive weightlifting sessions designed to sculpt their bodies and enhance muscle definition.

Strict dietary plans that focus on nutrition, fueling their performance while maintaining a visually appealing physique.

Mentoring and camaraderie among the competitors that foster a supportive environment conducive to success.

Through interviews and behind-the-scenes footage, the film delves into the lives of these athletes, exploring their challenges, triumphs, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. It not only highlights their physical transformations but also addresses the social implications of being a female bodybuilder in the 1980s, including issues of gender equality, body image, and empowerment.

Pumping Iron II: The Women is more than just a sports documentary; it is an inspiring narrative that champions female strength and the beauty of perseverance. By focusing on these fearless competitors, the film encourages viewers to celebrate diversity in body types and the importance of following one's passions, regardless of societal expectations. It serves as a testament to the power of women who dare to defy norms and break boundaries in pursuit of their dreams.

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
