Hulk Hogan without steroids looks about as muscular as Mr Burns from ‘The Simpsons’.
A TV documentary captured him lifting puny weights without shame and if that wasn’t degrading enough he then had the audacity to flex his skinny arms for the camera.
He’s not a bodybuilder therefore why does he do that? I’m 48, 154Ibs and have never taken steroids and my arms look a heck of a lot better than his.
Real bodybuilders must laugh at him.
A number of "real" bodybuilders were inspired by him. Hulk Hogan definitely got me interested in "hangin' and bangin' in the gym...BROTHER!!!"
In his prime Hogan DWARFED most pro bodybuilders at 6'8", 300+ lbs. He may not have had a pure bodybuilder's physique, but the man was HUGE!!!
I have on video footage of his training for his match against Andre the Giant (the one where he loses his title, due to the double referee thing). He's repping with 500 the way most do with 225; and, for back, he's doing PULL-UPS (so much for some of the modern mass-monsters excuses for not being able to do them, because of their size).
One bodybuilder who doesn't care for Hogan (anymore) is Paul Dillett. According to his column in MuscleMag, Dillett was training at Gold's Gym and somebody wanted to introduce him to Hogan, to show the pro wrestler some "real pythons". However, when Hogan got a glance at Dillett, his response was, according to the pro bodybuilder, "Whatever!".
