Lou Ferrigno Workout Routine
Lou Ferrigno, was the first Incredible Hulk, he won Mr. America, and Mr. Universe, he trained at Vince Gironda's Gym and learned Vince's training methods, when he moved to California from Brooklyn, New York. Lou has said that Vince was a great guy and a legend in the sport.
Lou Ferrigno is no ordinary bodybuilder because of his successful Incredible Hulk movies he has probably inspired millions of youngsters to start training with weights. Standing at 6"5' tall and competing at over 285lbs, Lou was FULL of muscle and it was no surprise when he won his first bodybuilding competition he entered winning the Pro Teen Mr. America in 1971 as well as the Teen Mr. America in the same year.
You might be asking yourself how could a teenager manage to put on so much muscle, but you need to know that Lou had been training hard since he was 13 years old. Lou also had the advantage of being guided by expert coaches like Vince Gironda who guided him to the correct way to eat and train.
But Lou was just getting started and although his professional bodybuilding career was relatively short, he went on to win the IFBB Mr. America and the IFBB Mr. Universe winning the overall title in 1973. He went on to win the Mr. International title and the IFBB Mr. Universe for the third consecutive year in 1974.
It was no mistake that Lou magically managed to hold so much muscle on such a huge frame, his training was very intense, disciplined and regular using enormously heavy weights. Before he retired as a professional body builder, Lou tried five times to win the coveted Mr. Olympia, placing third in 1994 and second in the 1994 Mr. Olympia, but he never won the title. His body and his personality have had an enormous effect on millions of people across the world. Standing 6"5' with 23 inch guns on either side of those enormous shoulders put Lou in a league of his own. Below is a copy of the arm workout that Lou would train twice a week.
