Ronnie Coleman: The King (Amazon Video; Purchased) - Back when I was a fitness junky, Ronnie was a guy I really looked up to. I've long since stopped being a gym rat, but seeing this documentary reminded me of why I held Ronnie in such high regard.
If you're not familiar with the name, Ronnie is only the second person to win the Mr. Olympia title eight times. Here he is making Schwarzenegger look small by comparison:

I saw Ronnie at the store one time when he was in his prime and I literally tripped over myself. Dude's size was fucking unreal.
The documentary covers some of Ronnie's history and I learned a few things about him I didn't know. For instance, I knew he was a cop with the Arlington Police Department, but I did not know he was still working as a cop despite having won Mr. Olympia twice.

I also didn't know about his background in accounting or his present business dealings.
Ronnie still trains like an animal, despite the fact he can't walk without crutches due to a devastated lower back (probably not surprising given the guy would deadlift 600 pounds
without a belt). He remains upbeat, positive, and humble, and deals with the health issues with grace.
Overall, a great documentary and easily worth the price if you're a fan.
