Digging through a pile of old BB mags & found this from 1994. Ferrigno looked pretty damn good at age 42-especially after a 17 year layoff....wonder how much his AS tab was....$$$ http://tinypic.com/e03bsp.jpg

How current is that water filtration pic? I ask because I love King of Queens and have pretty much seen every episode. There is one episode in particular where Carrie rubs lotion or tanning oil I'm not sure onto Lou. He's got his shirt off while she is rubbing him down and he is fuckin huge. Also his for his 5 second cameo in The Incredible Hulk when he's walking out of the police station, he is massive as well.

I have to give Lou his props. He might be a dick to people in person, but he looks better than anyone that was in Pumping Iron. During his early/mid nineties comeback, I was rootin' for him. He looked sick!

If you know his life story. I think you would be happy for the guy. He has done pretty well for himself.

From 2003, hard to judge I know, but he's not as tiny as the water pic for sure'

I was at the prejudging for the '94 Mr. O and Lou did indeed look fantastic. Considering he'd been out of BB for 17 years at that point, his conditioning was very impressive.

Lou was the first new age mass monster of the 90s. Everyone credits Dorian, which I'm not sure any of that is really a credit anyway, but it was Lou. The only sad part is he developed a huge gh gut because he rushed it. He wanted to make his come back so bad, that he was reportedly spending $1,200 a week on gh alone, and Shawn Ray was pissed at the regular 93 Olympia (or was it 92?) which Lou did because the IFBB just issued a statement they wouldn't tolerate implants, and it was clear to see Lou got huge, bad looking calf implants. Joe overlooked this. But despite all of that, he looked great! I think Robby deserved the overall as he didn't bend and go all out with mass. He looked the same he did in the 70's and 80's.
Looking at how big Lou got 'on the rush', one could only imagine what he would have looked like if he had never retired. He might have well reached 340lbs, no gut, no implants, and young. He would have won more O's than Haney.
As a side tip, if you want to see Lou in come back action, looking large and in charge, and see the 94 M. O on dvd, rent or buy the Incredible Hulk two pack special that has the Thor episode on it. You can rent it at blockbuster,or buy it cheap at walmart. On the special features is Lou's own personal Pumping Iron, Stand Tall. A great watch. Very motivational. And those who say Lou is an ass, don't know him or what he's been through. Watch Stand Tall, or actually meet him. When he isn't conducting business he is nice as could be. People complain how he charges for his pic and autograph, newsflash: Lou isn't Arnold with 100's of millions. That's how he makes his living.

It was the '93. That was his comeback O. Earlier I meant to reference the '93 not the '94. I was able to see the '93 to '95 since they were all here in Atlanta.

I thought he was nice enough. I stood in line to get both his and Sergio's. $10 each. Now Shawn Ray.....that was an ass.
I think he did pretty well in competition and the entertainment world.
I'd also guess he invested his money wisely and is just going to events
having fun.
Never met him, but heard from other promoters that he is a fine gentleman.

I think what was great about that show, was when they had callout with Lou and Flavio Baccanini....4ft 11 beside lou..and they both looked awesome!
also, lou might be a dick, but it probly gets old after 30yrs of being famous, having to be nice to everyone. especially for a big tested up freak like lou .
