Generation Iron 2

Bodybuilders see themselves as athletes, some even as body artists, who are misunderstood by their critics. Bizarre body cult or simply unhealthy – there is no doubt that bodybuilding requires absolute willpower for peak performance and a unique physique. In the second part of the successful Generation Iron series, viewers gain a fascinating insight into the lives of top stars who face an even tougher competition in the age of social media. Kai Greene, the physical Gesamtkunstwerk, is now also trying his luck in Hollywood. From Down Under comes the new super talent Calum von Moger, who talks about his journey to the top. Rich Piana, on the other hand, who boasts 1.2 million followers on Instagram, speaks openly about his extraordinary steroid use. Women in bodybuilding also fight for recognition, including Iris Kyle, who has won 10 times.
