Generation Iron Dennis Wolf of Wallstreet

We give ten classic movies some hardcore gains.

Love movies? Who doesn’t? But you know what the biggest problem is with movies these days? There aren’t enough about bodybuilding. Sure we have Pumping Iron, Bigger Stronger Faster, and Generation Iron and a few more – but hundreds of movies come out every year. Where’s the love? Well there’s no need to worry anymore – we’ve decided to take some action and put together the top 10 bodybuilding movies that no one has ever seen. Why? Because they don’t exist – but most definitely should.

8. Spotting Private Ryan

Generation Iron

The pumped up hit of the summer. Can these four training partners put their differences aside when they are faced with the ultimate challenge: spotting private Ryan.

7. The Wolf of Swole Street

Based on true events (we hope!), after Dennis Wolf retires from bodybuilding – he decides to apply his hardcore work ethic into the stock market. Will his sales pitch work with such a thick accent?

Nemo, an amateur bodybuilder, and fish, leaves him home to find the ultimate underwater gym. During his voyage he is attacked by jellyfish, humans and vicious sharks, good thing he’s packing those 22″ biceps.
