Dude was heralded as an Arnold Schwarzenegger lookalike. He had insane forearms (20'') and was overall underrated. He stood 6'1" and weighed 245 pounds (like Arnold). His arms were also around 21". He had great triceps, pecs, abs and quads and sick condition as well. He should have caused more damage than he did.

Some of the best forearms ever..
He retired early due to some sort of nerve damage related atrophy.

Gunnar Rosbo
Lee Priest
Dorian Yates
Casey Viator
Mike Mentzer

I believe 1982. It was just before Lou started growing out his beard and training for his role in Hercules.

Great physique one of my earliest inspirations to train

Not sure if that's Mike (5'8") or Ray (5'9"), but either way, he's towering over him.
-
Rosbo looks around 6 foot or so. Lou isn't dwarfing him.

In the first post they said he was 6'1

To bad he was a alcoholic, think that was his downfall.. He dieted on sausage and fries if i dont remember wrong had sick genetics
-
I hadn't seen that picture of Gunnar next to Lou ,before. Makes you appreciate his size.
In his prime,he must have looked astounding in person.

With Sergio Oliva and Bertil Fox one of the most pleasing and dramatic takes on the victory pose. :)

Chuck Sipes was also very good: massive,dense and vascular,with low muscle insertions.
Compared to Viator:

The forearms of Getbig's own Hazbin were pretty Sipesesque too...

He was 6'1". I have the Muscle and Fitness magazine where he was profiled. 6'1" and 245 pounds (in the early 80's).

M&F would never exaggerate or mislead so that must be 100% on the money.

How did he shave his arms without cutting a vein? Also check out the stubble on his hand and thumb where he shaved. That's one hairy dude. :-X

Ive never been able to build awesome forearms. They are like calves I think. You either have them or you dont.
