LOL, it's true about the pictures.
Every year I take several of him (not with him) and I can see it's pissing him off. I've been doing this for a least 5 years.

So, it is true!!!!, Why is he an ass about his pic.... U got so many others in celeb status who will stop take a pic on your camera phone. So why is lou so bitter?

Looking back, second would have been fair. The ripped/dry look wasn't in yet. So Serge being ripped to shreds really wouldn't have mattered until around 83ish. Based on his mass, 2nd. Wow, this thread was when I was a 220lb rookie from WAAAAAAAAAY back in the day. Who the fck dug this crap up?! LOL

No, if you watch the 25th anniversary DVD of Pumping Iron, special features, Louie confesses that during the contest he began to worry that he might not finish 2nd. He had no calves and a poor back (lats). Serge Nubret had awesome proportions and symmetry. Don't forget that Frank Zane was Mr. O at one time, so size alone was not the only criteria. Today, it seems that size will always win over smaller guys with better aesthetics but much less mass.
