Rick didn't look well lately. He loved bodybuilding and has left a mark via Rics Corner. He carried on doing what the loved until the end.

Almost the end of an era!

Arnold fucked an ugly Guatemalan maid and secretly fathered a child. I think going on a small bodybuilding YouTube channel to talk about the old days for 20 mins is the least of his worries regarding his image.

You could say Arnold fucked an ugly woman“  .... no need to throw nationality.

Ric aged gracefully, he still looked pretty badass at the end.

Arnold's got that saggy dyke look that ageing hollywood guys get from too much botox and cosmetic work.

Not to derail the thread, but Ferrigno is looking pretty good for someone who is 70 in a month's time (taken yesterday)

Big Lou made bodybuilding proud winning the car deadlift contest against powerlifters in the world's strongest man.

Just watched Ric interview Pete Grymkowski. Great stories there and some info about Ric. The artist, musician, and businessman. Worth a watch.

Oldtimer1 is an old, angry, self-hating Puerto Rican. Ignore him.

He found a good way to stay engaged with the sport and the community.  Sounds like he was widely liked and respected.  Rest in peace.

You know, I've seen a lot of Ric's Corner videos and I can't recall him mentioning Lou. Ken Waller, Draper, etc. pretty much all of the Venice crew often, but not Lou. Which is weird since Ric was on the Hulk. I could have missed it though.

There's a fair number of stories about Ric and Ferrigno hanging out here and there, but he was never on the show. -

.

.

Ric sorta (unintentionally?) throws some shade at Ferrigno here -

“Lou is a good guy. I’ve known Lou forever. He’s just the nicest, warmest, friendliest person to me. I have a lot of respect for him and when I worked on the show, I had no idea where it was gonna go…So they made me the middle Hulk, which had it’s own following. Working on the show was fine. It’s like working on any movie. You sit on the set and you’re bored to death…Lou and I would sit in this trailer and have lunch and all he would talk about is, what do you think Arnold’s doing, what do you think Arnold’s training? I said, ‘Why are you so worried about Arnold? You’ve got this series going. You’re making a fortune and you’re doing well. Don’t worry about Arnold.’ But he was always concerned about what Arnold was doing at the gym when he wasn’t there. Then he wanted to fly a helicopter, have a helicopter take us to workout that night. You know, it’s not that important. I’m tired. I’m going home.”

I'm only half Puerto Rican. The other half is Cuban. What does that have to with you calling out my heritage? Sure sounds racist to point that out.  Actually I come to this board for the laughs. I'm not angry at all. I type here with a smile. I actually like myself. Retired at 52. Live in a big beautiful house that has a pool and a great 1400 sq ft gym.  I'm also in better shape than most young people. What's to be self hating about?

If the internet and Getbig existed in the 70's and 80's many bodybuilders would have killed themselves if Arnold was on here.
