Fitness docos

Hi folks, for those interested, Generation Iron 3 is now on Netflix. I though the first one was great but the second so so. Hoping GI3 is good.

Any other fitness docos you recommend watching?

    Pumping Iron & the making of pumping iron are Classics
    I believe there is also a good documentary on Jon Paul Sigmarsson (strong man) somewhere on youtube

    Could not stand the Generation Iron documentaries (boring, little/no plot, more like a theme with series of clips, etc.)

    Bigger, Stronger, Faster - more along doping in sports. Plenty of good BBC & discovery channel documentaries on anabolic steroid use (entertaining at least)

    Fitness or sport? I find most weight lifting related documentaries painfully boring, but I love sports docs as a genre. That said, in no particular order:

    Supergirl
    Eat. Race. Win. (which is a documentary series)
    Ready to fly
    Losers. (another doc series - this time on Netflix)
    Keepers of the Game
    The Rebound
    Losing Sight of Shore
