If the universe was a fair and just place, Ferrigno should have trounced Schwarzenegger on the stage. Sadly, audiences are more taken in by charisma and exterior appearances than dedication and sincerity.
i look at lou's Hercules movie compared to Arnold's Hercules movie and there's alot of differences Lou is definitely thicker and bulkier then the oak" its just with Arnold he to me had movie star charisma and character which is what made him a major Hollywood giant!! + just look at em!! he was like a stone statue, perfect symmetry.
0:44 gets me in stiche's every time look at his face as he pause's, its like he cant make it stop. shame lou didnt win but then again that would mean arnold not winning and he is the all time best body builder not like the freaks they got now days that just look ill
This is back in the days like 2pac vs. Biggie. Back when they were both big on tv , conan the barbarian and the hulk. They didn't really hate each other, they just wanna be better that one another. Like pacqiuo and mayweather. Cool huh?
That has to be the worst gym I have ever seen It's all dingy and there is a bunch of fat sweaty goons in there. I just want to shoot myself just watching that. Having said that it's a classic movie that everyone should see.
I personally dont think Lou was taking roids in pumping iron, if you look at his body compared to Arnold's or Nubre, he wasnt anywhere near them. But who knows, this is the best part of the entire movie where he says I'M NOT SATISFIED! I WANT MORE WEIGHT I WANT TO BEAT HIM! What an inspiration.
I know steroids alone don't make someone that big, you need to train like a freak and do the bodybuilfingvdiet, but damn do I wish I was alive back then when roids were not illegal lol.
@Betenkurt he used steroids. they all did. its impossible to have muscles that large, but also that incredibly defined. with out roids, they would look like world strongest man competitors
thats all true, but i doubt all these guys had good genetics. in the film they show lou and arnold when they were young, and they were both pretty skinny. im not promoting steroids, im just saying its impossible to be that large AND that defined without them. you try it.
took steroids beat arnold never had a chance i was i7 years old was at julies shit hole gym then i knew it was a joke arrrnollld!!! who gave a fuck lou is a hero real heros fight and die over seas arnold was handled by pros took the right amount of drugs was much more cut years later when lou went to cal he was handled by pros and he was more cut at contest time but still arnold was just better at posing and command of the stage
Debatable. Of course, I'm for both sides of the coin as both have reason: it takes balls to fight, but then again, fighting some bullshit wars for some rich people is also hardly heroic.
I'd say firefighters/doctors/nurses fit the 'hero' category, then again, they would most likely say "I'm just doing my job".
Ha ha ha the fat dopey guy at the start is a classic , what teh fuck is he doing man,
Lou went on to say that his father only appeared in pumping iron just to get his head on camera for the boys back at the station( he was an ex cop),
after Lou had lost to Arnold his father called him a loser and that he will never be good enough , he was a prick of a man , and soon after Lou never spoke to him until a bit before he died when on his death bed he called him a loser again .
when I was into weight training back in 88 I used to buy the Muscle Builder magazine which I still have and the articles were about all the old body builders and what they went through to be champs and one was about Lou and his dad.
Fuckin intense. Now thats training. LOL at the guy with the fro curling the 10lb. dumbells in the beginning. He looked like he was gonna shit his Huggies when Lou came in. Haha!
Ferrigno was under-rated in his time; in my opinion, one of the first mass-monsters even before Haney and Yates. He had 40+ pounds of muscular mass on both Oliva and Arnold. Huge.
???? a full lockout works the triceps more than anything. not stone age at all. coleman never used full lockout for reps. body mechanics are simple. can't believe you'd question a professional's method of training.
Arnie was basically unbeatable during his day but big Lou was pretty impressive, and at 6'5'' he had such a commanding presence. I actually admire Lou more so than Arnold because of his attitude towards his workouts. Arnold was much more into the glamour and flash while Lou worked out in a dark basement-like gym.
Sure, hes a complete 'loser'. He only was a competitor in the highest ranks of bodybuilding alongside some of the BEST of ALL time. *laughs* When you've done anything near to that, come back and throw insults.
It's awesome how in the background theres like the girls and the men and so on, and the men are like sucking in to try and look big for the girls and then lou comes in and everyones like 1/3 of his size, What a beast
