WHY IS LOU FERRIGNO SO WEAK IN PUMPING IRON??

[alexxx]

Incline bench 205 pounds.

Standing shoulder presses 245 x 4.


So much for the claims in weider books of him doing 560 pound bench presses!

[Bluto]

so arnold could appear to be stronger

[IceCold]

i was wondering the same thing.

but another thing was that lou was curling 100's on the incline curls in the same sequence when he is shoulder pressing and yelling arnold's name.

[Bast175]

what heavy lifts does arnold do?

[torquemada]

Because George Butler wouldn't give him $20 before shooting his scenes...

90s are hardly impressive!

Lou was huge but he was nowhere near a strong as the claims about him said.

[JOHN MATRIX]

i always though that part was wierd, when hes inclining what appears to be 135 and seems winded.
but incline curling 100's is pretty damn strong....

[carvedoutofwood]

he's also a 6 foot 5 bodybuilder... = very tough to "be strong".... ie... extremely long ROM...

[pumpster]

Who was using heavy weight in PI, pre-contest?

not many people besides Columbu really, if you remeber near the beginning right after Arnold's famous scene at the front desk with the laughing "big Tony" they showed Columbu benching 405 for a tough 3 reps with the old thick 45's.

I am the same height and lift what he did on the incline with ease naturally.

That was 335!

i'm not talking about the scene on the beach with Arnold, i'm talking about the scene near the beginning where they show Corney doing cable rows, Waller doing pulldowns, Arnie doing flyes, remember that scene?

Yeah I just saw it and am sure it was 3 plates and a 10 on each side. Franco had a lot of trouble doing 315 at the beach what makes you think he can bench 4 wheels a side?

[pumpster]

What i remember is that Arnold was the king of grimaces & trained the least intensely, whereas Corney & Ferrigno's training sequences were some of the most inspiring parts of the movie.

Arnold's squat sequence was edited, probably because it couldn't hold a candle to what Corney did.

Stop ruining all the threads.

[pumpster]

Shut up; your whole purpose in life other than getting attention, is glorifying Schwarzenegger's nuts with some theory about how bad Ferrigno was when he obviously trained harder than your hero. Why didn't you start a thread about how light and easy Schwarzenegger trained in PI?

To be honest I am getting sick of Arnold. He is nothing special. Lou was bigger in pumping iron but he lacked condition. I don't see how Serge could beat Lou. Lou makes him look like a 5 year old.

OH MY GOD 

[alexxx]

OH MY GOD 

I'm sorry I am just getting a headache and can't believe that came out of me. The point is that I would make Arnold my little sidekick if I had trained with him. No one trains as hard as me.

Alexxx is a dipshit. Ferrigno overhead pressed 250 for 10 reps and did around 275 on the incline for 10 reps. He also did seated curls with 100 lb dumbbells. Those are very strong lifts that 99% of gym-goers will never come close to duplicating.

He must be natural, naturally weak.

He was twice as strong as you.

dude seriously, are you high? he threw around 315 on Venice Beach like it was 135 for most guys, he literally laid there with the weight on his chest laughing on the 12th rep before he pushed it up.

So big deal I can do that with 225..
