of politics, or was it because of his calf implants???

In 1992 he stepped onstage at 298 pounds (56 pounds heavier than Dorian), yet he placed 12th.

In 1993 he stepped onstage at 320 pounds and outweighed 269 pound Paul Dilett by 50 pounds and Dorian by 60 and YET, Big LOU placed 10th..

Were his placing justifiable? The fact of the matter is, even early on in the competition, he wasn't being called out for any comparisons. Something turned the judges off RIGHT AWAY in prejudging. I thought he looked SICK in 1993. Why 10th place? Even in 1992, were guys like Ron Love, Porter Cottrell and Steve Brisebois really better than Lou?

It's not a competition of who weighs the most. Lou didn't look any where near 320lbs there. I highly doubt those numbers. That would mean he was 60 lbs heavier than he was in pumping iron. Where the hell is he hiding that extra mass?

Yes Lou was 320 ..he was supposed to crack top 6 if he didnt have the implants.. but again he should have placed dead last for same reason, Joe knew all the way but need it Lou to compete for promotion and income reasons.... funny how the media,sport's networks mentioned Lou taking 10th place but didnt bother to say who won the show even E news did a report on that contest....when will that happen again?

Never understood why he got the calf implants..In the 70's, his calves were never great, but they weren't terrible. In fact they were better than half the guys that are in the Olympia now. Implanted calves usually look stupid.

No way, he got into it with Big Steve ?? ,
C'mon, i was there and do not remember that .

that is how it was

I'm sure 6'3" Steve Weinberger would have DEMOLISHED Big Lou in a backstage brawl. Anyone ever see the temper on big Steve. I think it was at a New York show in 1999 or 2000, where Steve stood up and started screaming at the audience for booing the placings. He became IRATE.

beating up a guy who has starved himself for 16 weeks isnt impressive.

.....But lets see how tough Steve is when its off season time and he's getting muscled around by a guy taller and considerably heavier and stronger.

Lou weighs MAX 250 pounds today and has lost a considerable amount of height since then (go to www.celebheights.com). Anyways, I don't see Lou, even at 325 pounds and fully hydrated and rested whipping Steve's ass. Steve is one tough New Yorker with an attitude. Lou is big, awkward and clumsy looking and DEAF. I also don't think Lou was that strong in the gym. Watch Pumping Iron and you'll see it was all genetics (much like Paul Dillett).

What the hell does that mean?

He was supposed to be top six, the placing were arranged ahead of time...and they said "No, Lou, don't get the implants or we won't put you in the top six!!!"

But dumb old Lou went ahead and had the implants inserted anyway.....

$:-\$

Im talking after the contest took place lizard...He was good enough to be 6th or 7th............ They knew he had implants way before the show but they decided to "acomodate" him for being the biggest impact in BB since Arnold retired in 80...........If it was another bb with implants would have been dead last.

It was the greatets line up ever !!!!!

Mr Nobody · « **Reply #39 on:** May 14, 2009, 06:34:36 PM »

He is 6 inches taller than Dorian so he would have to weigh much more to look as impressive. He has an ass attitude as well could have had a bearing on the finish.

HOLY SHIT was he HUGE!!!! Question: If he weighed 320 pounds the day of the competition, what was he weighing 3 months out?

disco_stu · « **Reply #42 on:** May 15, 2009, 12:46:43 AM »

his calves, when flexed, look exactly like flex's calves when flexed..yet flex insisted that that was proof that he didnt have implants.

fact is that flex went from never having any calves, and not even showing a sign of being able to build them, to having great calves in no time..theres no doubt lou's calf implants looked overdone, and that flex had implants...absolutely no doubt at all.

Well, Lou was a natural competing against an all juiced up line up.

He was next to Yates in one of the pic.... Yates won the show

Lou gained lots of weight but not proportionately. His arms and forearms were way too small. His biceps were non existant. His hamstrings weren't up to par. His shoulders weren't there. He was training very ight in the 90's compared to heavy in the 70's.

It doesn't matter how much he weighed. Look at Greg Covacs. He always weighed more than everyone and he sucked. In Lou's case i think it is probably because he tried to charge each of the judges $20 to judge him on stage

Lou back in the day was sporting this look

Danimal77 · « **Reply #49 on:** May 15, 2009, 04:48:32 PM »

Lou looked best in 1982, while filming Hercules. He stated that he was in Mr. Olympia condition at that point and based on the pics from Muscle and Fitness from that time (1982-1983), where he weighed between 262-271 and was HUGE and CUT to shreds, I would tend to agree.
