Lou Ferrigno - is the strongest pro bodybuilder ever

[Gym Rat]

Placing 4th in a World's Strongest Man contest, especially considering he didn't know how to train for some of the events, is quite impressive.

He's no Christopher Oketch, but.....

I hope he would since they had everyone entering, from track/field, to NFL... Lou was far from weak, just those numbers are a joke...

Sipes was a beast. The guy worked hard labor all day and then came for a 2 hour workout.

Sergio Oliva had a hard-labor job in a foundry. And he managed to hit the iron for a couple of hours. He also was no slouch in the strength department, as he was a weightlifter for Cuba.

Lou was stronger than Ronnie (Brutal if true)

I also worked in a foundry and then lifted when I was young. I don't have any Sandows though.

No, bro.

No way. Ronnie was so strong he destroyed his spine.

People forget Lou was 6'5'' (in his prime) and also had anger issues due to him being deaf, it's crazy how strong he was, 900 lb deadlift, 600 lb bench press, etc, stronger than Franco and Arnold

Unfortunately for Lou, he was in bodybuilding and not powerlifting.

He may have made more money doing strongman stunts, like Bill Pearl.

Bill Pearl did like the old strongman stuff but he really made his money with his Gyms.
Ferrigno for me had no charachter or intelligence like Pearl. Even if he was the Hulk

No one forgets he was six-five.

And there’s zero chance he ever came even close to those numbers.

Hope this helps.

No. Pamith is right. People frequently forget about Lou, the retarded pig farmer.

I'm sure being the "Hulk" made him the bulk of his money.

[pamith]

In the famous TV show ''the incredible hulk'', Lou was shown to do outrageous feats of strength

[pamith]

[pamith]

However, as strong as he was, he showed to have a ''tender'' side with small animals

[pamith]

[Humble Narcissist]

Brutal.

[pamith]

Brutal.

If true.

[Bix]

I remember the Strongest Man in the World competition he beat out all the power lifters in the car deadlift.

Yes he was very impressive there.

[deadz]

Yes he was very impressive there.

Look who's back, Bix the homo.

[Pet shop boys]

Woooo$$$$$$$$$$
