O)ne of the funniest stories you will hear about Ferrigno ever!

[Moosejay]

 So here it was, the summer of 1979, and my trainer and mentor was opening his own gym in North Haven, CT.

He, me and my training partner travelled to Brooklyn to Lou Ferrigno's Father's equipment company, based on the first floor of their home right in the city(I think).

I remember we were able to outfit the entire gym (about 4,000 square feet) for $14,000.00

Ferrigno's stuff was good equipment...much of the very same stuff still floats around the area today.

Anyway, while our mentor was dealing with Matty Ferrigno (Lou was in Hollywood by now), I saw Lou's brother sitting there, eating italian ice...he looked JUST LIKE LOU, without the bulk.

I saw his sister sitting there, looking JUST LIKE LOU, without the musscles.

Mrs. Ferrigno was very nice and innocent.

She liked that me and my training partner were so young and wanted to make sure we were lifting right and everything.

I asked her:

"Mrs. Ferrigno, how is Lou doing with the Toronto Argonauts?(He was being toiuted in Muscle Builder at the time as being a prospect inb the Canadian FB system, but stopped his career short supposedly because of a torn achilles heel.).

"Oh, no, Michael...my poor Louie...he calls me every night and says...Momma...my beautiful body...its getting all beat up from all of thgis football and hitting and what not...I wanna come home!"

I have nothing against Lou.

I know everyone here rips on him for his 20 dollar pics.

But THAT IS WHAT SHE SAID!

By the way, at the gyms grand opening, Matty came to it and brought pics of Lou...specifically his rear lat spread, side triceps photos, and kept telling everyone that you willo NEVER see a photo of Arnold doiung that pose!

lol

that story sounds legite.

around that time some football team coach saw lou lifting weights in the gym and figured, because of his immense size and strength, he could be useful as a lineman or something.

lou saw the $ signs and figured he'd give it a shot, and went to camp.

everyone soon realised, it's a whole different ball game (intended pun) between bbing in a comfortable gym with mirrors and playing football.

[Moosejay]

wow, i had something similar in my lumbar spine, turned out not to be malignant

I am not so lucky, but I have hope. Doing all I can.

Thanks,

I agree with you.

And what's with this "Hope this helps" stuff?

I hardly think you really care if you even help an old lady cross the street.

[GoneAway]

hope this helps is an old getbig saying. it really only applies in posts where i give some information that u (in general) may not have thought about. so i hope that this information has helped u realise something u may otherwise have ignored.

Louie was too skinny to go out for the football team in high school.

I offered Matty and Lou a hell of a beating in New York 1975 when the girls told me to stop screaming when I was performing 600lb squats at R&J. I told them I was a Blackwatch Sergeant and they instantly shit themselves. I told Lou I would rip out his hearing aid and shove it up his dad's ass and he would have to lick it back out again.
They are both lucky they survived because no one fucks with the Blackwatch.
