"Yes, Franco won the Olympia twice.... but he walks on the streets and nobody knows who the Fuck the man is ,
where people not only knows who I am , they're willing to pay $40.00 to have a photo taken with me".

-Lou Ferrigno




WoooSHHHHHHHHH

Yes but until it was run through the Star Trek translator it sounded more like, "heimnottatisfyde...Iwhan moway!  Iwahnnahbeedim!  Datilbe $40 pweeze".


In Louie's defense, at least he is still married to his wife, the mother of his only children.  He was married once before, but got out of by saying he had no idea what the minister was saying cuz his hearing aide batteries were dead and he never got paid for the pictures that were taken that day.

Only builders know to the general public apart from Arnold. Lou had a great physique in the seventies. And, in contrast to all blown up midgets, he was 6 ft 5.

He was actually 6'4" legit and is 6'2"-6'3" today (65 years old and has had both hips replaced).

Very poor thigh sweep. Legs like that were ok in the 70's. But Lou was in way over his head in the 90's.

I love this thread since it reminds me i can and will look great in my 40s and beyond

I love Lou's build.

his chest is epic -

he parlayed his muscles to something better than the sweaty thong - hollywood

Was it 91 or 92 he tried the Olympia comeback?  This was back when the leg machines were still in the first room in Venice. I was working out next  to him he was doing leg presses. In between sets he'd rest on the weights that were piled on the press. I just remember the forearms on the son of a bitch. And I've seen about everyone who was anyone over the last forty years involved in bb. His forearms were snaked with veins n were as large as hamhocks. In person one of the most impressive bb I've ever seen. I've seen him seems like hundreds of times since but nothing ever like that comeback year. Yeah. Unf I think he comes off as pretty much a dick, it's not just that he's deaf, the man seems to have issues, I know several deaf people and they r extremely polite etc. Lou seems to have no patience for anyone. But respect to one big as bb

For those of u old school Venice boys. Not in the back part of the first room where they r now. They used to be in front of the bathrooms up front. The bench presses were up there to by the entrance.

I heard this One before Lou was the telltale Mr Olympia in person. Never saw him but maybe your right?

To his credit he is still with his second wife (and the mother of his children) and seems to have a good family life.  Arnold has a good family life too and after several years of separation he and Skullitor have yet to divorce.  Must be a Catholic thing.

I know during his comeback Lou got HUGE, but for whatever reason it seemed to disappear on stage, especially so next to Yates and other mass monsters.  The smaller guys he dwarfed but Yates had him whupped overall.  I've not really looked at the Masters O where Robinson beat him but one supposes he lost fair and square.

It has something to do with his height. When youre that tall something dissapeears. Its strange but you all have seen it...

Looks like when they were dieted down that Yates had bigger arms than Lou

yep.. the role of his life. A green caveman hero.

[Danimal77]

apparently many years ago lou and hogan appeared on a chat show, the host noticed that hogan was bigger than the hulk, height and size and so he got dubbed hulk hogan ever since. I can't find any images of this appearance or a video. Hulk was likely 6'7" back in the day but after all those surgeries he's under 6'5" now.
Hogan said on a kids tv show i watched back in the 90's that he got the hulk name because he beat lou in an arm wrestling match, so not sure whats true.

Hogan was 6'6" in his prime (some say only 6'5"). After multiple knee, hip, neck and back surgeries, he's between 6'2" and 6'3" today at age 64. Lou was 6'4" in his prime (never 6'5") but at age 66 and having had hip replacement, he's around the 6'2"-6'3" as well today. FACT.

Many say Lou was 6' 3" in his prime maybe 3,5"
