17% certainly not 15% but very unlikely above 20%

This. He looked much better in the Hercules movie.

What most people, like you, fail to realize is that the more musclemass you carry, the higher amount of subcutaneous fat layer you can carry, and still be at lower bodyfat percentage.

Bodyfat is relative to the mass you carry. And Ferrigno obviously carries tons of mass. Probably 2x more mass than the avg gymrat, yes even at his lesser actor weight. With that he can have probably 1.5x thicker layer of subcutaneous fat and still be at lower bodyfat %.

I don't fail to realize that at all.  There is no way those Hulk photos show him at 8%.

He was lower BF and more muscular during the first season.  Let himself go as the show went on.
Third season he looks the most massive, IMO

Yes, he is much bigger and leaner in Hercules than in the Incredible Hulk pics.  He does not have the striations at all in the Hulk pics and he looks much smaller.  I don't know why Lou didn't continue competing in the Olympia while making the Hulk series.  He probably would have won at least 8 and Arnold never would have come back in '80.  He had to lift and diet anyway for the Hulk role.

Just to give you an idea of body fat in males


Do most here agree with this? Seems pretty close.

Depends. Need to see the glutes for better assessment. No homo.

He wasn't.  He got smoother and less muscular as the show went on, especially the last season.  He was under contract and getting paid, so there was no real urgency to stay in top shape. Go look at the first episodes compared to the later ones... easy to see the difference.

He did look less and less impressive as the show went on.  By the end they should have just painted Bill Bixby green and saved a lot of money.
