Raising The Bar - The Inside Story of a Life in Bodybuilding

On June 21, 2003 David Pulcinella ended a 7 year, self-imposed retirement from his beloved sport of bodybuilding and decisively won both the N.P.C. Delaware State and East Coast titles. He was not content to stop there. Dave decided, on the eve of his 40th birthday, to attempt to become the "King of Delaware" two years in a row.

This ground-breaking documentary follows Dave and several other male and female bodybuilders and figure competitors during the 20 grueling weeks leading up to the contest. The result is a chronicle of lives lived in pursuit of perfection and of the relentless preparation and determination necessary to make it in this most misunderstood of sports.

Shocking, disturbing, moving and sometimes hilarious, you will get an inside look into an extreme lifestyle that few attempt...

...and still fewer achieve.
