Mike what is your take on artificial sweetners like sucrulose?it's in a lot of pre workouts,like greg fake douchett loves it in all of his products,the guy is a complete sociopath,as soon as you said he puts on that parrot voice intentionally he stopped and sounds normalish in his vids,he is 2 faced you were right
Even then, Ferrigno did all of the voice work for cgi Hulk up until Thor Ragnarok. Man embodied that character so well he was still a part of the role 40 years after the paint.
Lou suffered a severe hearing loss during his childhood and was bullied because of it. He has the speech patterns that are often typical of such conditions, and wore hearing aids for most of his life (I believe he now has cochlear implants). Props to him for overcoming a severe disability and bullying to become one of the greatest bodybuilders ever.
We already know about his hearing impairment. What's your point? It certainly didn't hinder him from becoming a national treasure. He's a legend. Period.
@its_dey_mate When I spoke about ( WE) Meaning the people who were formally aware of lou and his medical issues. The majority of those who hadn't known isn't the demographic of folks I was talking about, either. Put on your thinking cap for a second. 😉
@@Coming4you-i3h And if you partake in the thinking-cap-wearing thing we got going on here, you would understand that the "we" is such a minority that your first comment dismissing OP is rather unneeded, as many more people would find that info interesting.
@its_dey_mate 😂😂😂 Is that supposed to be your: " Let him have it moment?" The amount of effort it must've taken you to fire back with that response perhaps you should have known you was never a part of: " THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE WHO HAD KNOWN ABOUT LOU'S DISABILITY. Well congratulations 🎊 Now you know Lou ferrigno had this disability in his left ear since he was an infant.
I think that Lou Ferrigno is underrated mainly because on Pumping Iron he is depicted as "stupid", and Arnold as "intelligent". Ironic. Edit: I'm not saying that Arnold is stupid :D
there is a reason Lou is a legend! Maybe the current breed of Jim rats wasn’t aware until this video, but us old guys who were lifting in the 80s have always known Lou is one of the greatest. I got to watch him speak in a casual setting at the Mr. Olympia decades ago and “meeting a hero” did not disappoint.. .
Lou had one of best genetics and cleanest physiques in bodybuilding ever. At 6"5 and being built like that??? Massive, symmetrical and cut. Incredible!!
I met Lou Ferrigno once , he was getting a neck massage from who I assume was his assistant. He was about 4x her size and made the table look like a dinner plate
I met Lou during his comeback. He was +330lbs about 4 weeks out and already shredded. He ended up over dieting. The veins in his biceps are the size of my pinkies
I met Lou Ferrigno at a comic book convention. I was so starstruck. I didn’t know what to say to him, but he was very kind and shook my hand and helped me select a picture to autograph. He was so incredibly large. His hands are even big. I looked like a pygmy. This was Lou Ferrigno in his early 60s. I couldn’t imagine what he was like at peak.
The folks who've been involved with both aspects of the culture -- comic books & fitness/bodybuilding -- are few & far between. Lou is a damn legend for sure. Signed, a comic book nerd who also lifts weights 😅
He charged you for the photo right? He's known among those card signing venues as a complete dick if you try to take a photo without paying him $20. Fact.
@@bobcaygeon975He’s there all day. It’s the same for other actors or actresses who go to conventions and lose out on work. Usually they also have to pay for their own food and hotel. So $20 for an autograph is not a big deal. Personal opinion, they need to make a profit somehow.
Lous return in the early 90s was the greatest come back in Body Building history... Dude had some wild genetics for mass. Your ego is your greatest enemy in many situations in and out of the gym. Develop a strong ego when you need to dig in and do what you need to do... but always have the ability to check your ego so you don't make a stupid decision.
And unlike Mike whose philosophy has been dissproven(volume training has been tested ALOT and found to be ideal for both naturals and enhanced) Lou was correct about most things.
I own a gym in Virginia that uses this style of programming in a group setting. I want to say thank you Dr. Mike and the whole RP team for the content you have put out and the impact it has had on my coaching and the impact is has had on my clients lives. I pride my programming on increasing the longevity of my clients. "I want you to be fit enough to roll around in the grass with your grandchildren when you're 80, not squat 800 lbs one time in your life" Full range, strength/hypertrophy training like this with mutli-domain metabolic conditioning are the answer to the test. Thank you much for the work you guys do, it is changing.... saving.... lives. Honor Bound FIT
If you remember "Pumping Iron" you might remember a scene when Lou is doing shoulder presses with his dad? I think his dad asked him if he wanted more weight on the barbell. And Lou yells and vis voice goes really high pitched. I think he said "MORE WEIGHT! GONNA BEAT'EM!" Talking about Schwarzenegger. My friends and I used to yell that at each other all the time.
Wow, I learned so much from watching this video.I have to share something interesting I recently discovered. I came across a book called ‘Magnet for Women’ by Borlest, and honestly, I didn’t expect much at first. But as I kept reading, some of the techniques and advice really surprised me. It’s not about tricks, but more about understanding how attraction works and how small changes in behavior can make a huge difference. It’s not just for someone who wants to ‘get’ every girl, but more about becoming more confident and attracting the right person. If you’ve ever been curious about this, I think you’ll find it a useful read.
I was explaining something like this to my girlfriend. We have basically known everything needed to understand how to get in incredible physical shape for decades. We are still learning a little bit but once you know the basics it's just getting in the gym not eating to self abuse and doing that over long periods of time.
I literally had a dream the other night with Dr Mike in it. He was teaching the basics of hypertrophy to elementary school kids… and that’s when I knew it was all just a dream
@@rovan8348 haha I think your right, Mike could talk about CGI Hulk's genetic potential and take him through a workout where he uses less weight than he normally does
Yeah. He was so underrated that he got paid to be the HULK and is a living legend. One day...one fine day, you humans will understand the meaning of words and how and when to utilize them. Just because a saying is popular, doesn't mean it applies to every situation in every comment section. It's okay to not be a sheep and fish for likes. Peace
@@AhtoNajeebRashied No need to be rude, he was stating that as a bodybuilder he was underrated of which he was. Nobody ever mentions Lou, everyone mentions Arnold. "He was so underrated that he got paid to be the HULK and is a living legend." Who even then remembers him for being the Hulk and today? Nobody. But OP was originally speaking about Bodybuilding and the Hulk is a movie which has nothing to do with bodybuilding.
I am so happy i found this channel. After 10+ years of training and kind of just going through the motions, im actually finding enjoyment in trying to improve my technique and fitness again. Amazing content.
Lou & his dad were legit. This is insane bc i'm a month into a similar split to Lou's. So when i saw his split & Dr Mike's approval, i gave myself a pat on the back bc i know my sh*t. My 5 day week is Back & (2) Bis, Chest & (2) Tris, Legs, Shoulders & Bis/Tris superset, Abs & Cardio, then go again on day 6.
Lou Ferrigno was my idol as a kid in the 80s. When I was around 13, I got his autograph at a convention in Montreal. I was absolutely in awe of that man and was walking tall after shaking his hand. I’m in my 50s and I still remember that day as if it were yesterday.
I was listening to Jay Cutler talk about dumbbell pullovers and he referenced your hand grip. For back have a close hand grip, like you're pulling a rope. For chest have a spread hand grip, like you're pushing the weight. I still find back easier though, and need to really focus on the mind/muscle connection for chest.
Lou is one of my favorite bodybuilders. His size and symmetry are insane steroids or not. Takes a lot of work to get that big in contest shape and he was terrifying to me as a kid in the nbc hulk reunion movies
Never really been into the gym stuff but I ended up on deaths door after a severe blood infection and a 5ft 10” guy became 69kgs! With clothes on and soaking wet! I’ve joined myself a gym and watch RP religiously. This is gonna suuuuuck getting myself into some semblance of “jacked”. Lol. Big fan of the Channel Dr Mike and Scott the video guy. (Keep up the phenomenal work) all the best from Scotland guys. 🏴
Lou Ferrigno was a BEAST and a really smart dude. His limiting factor was that he was just TOO tall for bodybuilding and its an absolute shame. BTW just like weight classes in MMA I think there should be HEIGHT classes in pro Bodybuilding. You can't get a 6'4 guy to EVER have the muscle pop of a dude that is 5'9. The longer a muscle is the less impressive it looks on stage. I do pullovers A LOT. Been in my routines for at least 5 years straight. It is a compound lift for me. Never a main event. So Its getting another set in for pecs, lats AND triceps without adding 3 exercises to my routine. I feel like the pullover is like the deadlift for the upper body. It gets a lot of muscles involved.
I’ve been loving these bodybuilder review videos - I’ve learnt a ton from them. I know it’s nothing to do with hypertrophy and more to do with strength training, but I’d enjoy videos looking at the training of strength athletes as well, to see some of the differences - Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, people like that.
I know it's essentially the same thing but I like to think of lifting your chest which will naturally cause an arch than deliberately arching powerlifter style
Hi Mike! You give me inspiration with your videos, they are so scientifically interesting! I did take your videos on hip thrusts and tweaked my program, and have less hip and back pain, I switched to doing single leg glute bridges for mind-muscle connection, and doing very slow deep bulgarian squats and that's been great so far.
@@KateWandless His best Mr Olympia placements were in the 70s, whereas in the 90s he placed 12th and 13th. Unless the competition improved that much more since the 70s. His prime was more in the late 70s (and probably 80s if he was still competing).
This was def the best review to date, Dr Mike didnt disagree or have to correct anything he did or said once! Really cool, would love to see some more lou workout reviews! Mayve even his parts in pumping iron!
I have loved Lou since I was a child growing up watching the Incredible Hulk. He and Arnold were huge parts of my life. Some of my favorite old school body building pics are of Lou.
Lou is a great bodybuilder. All those years of bodybuilding, he can be a bodybuilding coach. He has a lot of knowledge he could pass on to others, passing on knowledge of how not to get hurt lifting weights. How to do it safely and suggestions on a lifting schedule if you’re serious and are in the gym for the long run and how to eat healthy and maintain body balance. He has years of training experience. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Why would a RUclipsr have any credence to "critique" the training of arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time? Yeah, I'd love to hear how Arnold could have done it better according to Mikec
Lou F. scared me shitless as the Hulk. I remember hiding behind a couch as a kid as my brothers watched the transformation into the Hulk. Looking back, he was in some strongman competitions as well. The guy can do anything.
You joke about being " not so good" as a bodybuilder. But you got 2nd in the USA. So I understsnd the modesty, but it also implies people who placed lower than you aren't good. Which they are. Give yourself some credit man! At least don't put yourself down. I do that to and it poisons you.
Lou and his cousin Robyn Ferrigno were absolutely lovely people I had the pleasure to budtend for back when I was involved in the cannabis industry early in my career. This towering man with thick sunglasses standing behind Robyn(she was a regular) for her pickup order that day. Right before I left them I sneaked a whisper "Pleasure to see you Hulk!" He smiled and did this 'shh gesture 🤫🤫 I ran back and got them their order. Didn't bother to even ask for an autograph because I could tell they were in a rush(hence the online pickup order area). Great memories at that dispensary
Lou is the pioneer of bodybuilding, this guy is the goat when it comes to natural weightlifting. I grew up watching this guy both as the Incredible Hulk and as a bodybuilder. Tons of respect for Lou.
Lou is also deaf. Ferrigno attributes his profound hearing loss to a series of ear infections he suffered in his infancy that resulted in nearly 80 percent hearing loss, diagnosed at three years old. Since 2012, he has improved his hearing via a fully implanted cochlear stimulator.
DAM IT MIKE !!!!!!! i been watching your videos for awhile now , and that Versa Grip plug got me this time .. just ordered the XTREME pair . Keep up the fantastic content
13:25 Guillotine press! Such a great stretch. Even doing a traditional nipple bench then once on the down position moving the bar towards the throat to accentuate the stretch. Lou knows his stuff

Dr. Mike, one of your best videos ever. I don't know if it's the positivity or what.
It's because he always gave it 110%
The versa gripps ad, genius 🤣👌🏼 no more skipping the ad
Hi Mike! You give me inspiration with your videos, they are so scientifically interesting!
I did take your videos on hip thrusts and tweaked my program, and have less hip and back pain, I switched to doing single leg glute bridges for mind-muscle connection, and doing very slow deep bulgarian squats and that's been great so far.
YEEAAAAAAAAAS slept so much on ferrigno, at his prime vs Arnold’s prime I would dare to say he was better condition than Arnold by far
Different drugs in the 90’s mate, was very basic in Arnold’s time
@@KateWandlessLou Ferrigno mostly competed in the 70s. He faced off against Arnold as well during the 70s.
@@ireaditnerd8306 Lou’s prime was the 90’s comeback, he was soft as clarts in the 70’s and Arnold easily beat him
@@KateWandless His best Mr Olympia placements were in the 70s, whereas in the 90s he placed 12th and 13th. Unless the competition improved that much more since the 70s.
His prime was more in the late 70s (and probably 80s if he was still competing).
@@KateWandless you don't know what you are talking about. pls shut up...
Lou was great in I Love You, Man
I think I just found my favourite old-school pro-BB, fr fr. I'm truly impressed.
Lou's dad was his trainer and the guy who instilled that weight lifting knowledge in him at an early age.
No.he didn't. That was all made up for Pumping Iron. His dad never trained him....didn't even want him to lift at all.actually.
This was def the best review to date, Dr Mike didnt disagree or have to correct anything he did or said once! Really cool, would love to see some more lou workout reviews! Mayve even his parts in pumping iron!
He tested positive for gamma rays though
I've never seen a video with so many facts packed into one in my life.
Seriously, this video made my day!
Botmaxxing keeps you big as hell
I have loved Lou since I was a child growing up watching the Incredible Hulk. He and Arnold were huge parts of my life. Some of my favorite old school body building pics are of Lou.
Fun to see someone way before my time articulating what I'm doing currently. I am on the way! Good episode!
The real hulk
Lou is a great bodybuilder. All those years of bodybuilding, he can be a bodybuilding coach. He has a lot of knowledge he could pass on to others, passing on knowledge of how not to get hurt lifting weights. How to do it safely and suggestions on a lifting schedule if you’re serious and are in the gym for the long run and how to eat healthy and maintain body balance. He has years of training experience. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Anyone else just waiting for the Arnold Schwarzenegger episode
Why would a RUclipsr have any credence to "critique" the training of arguably the greatest bodybuilder of all time?
Yeah, I'd love to hear how Arnold could have done it better according to Mikec
Nah man. Arnold is a jerk.
@@backfru classic childlike belief that because a guy looks better, he knows more
That all made so much sense I'm amazed that I hadn't heard anybody say it like that before. And 30+yrs ago...
Can you do a video on Greg Doceutte work outs ? Plenty of videos out there
😂 that will create 20 more videos for Greg
@@Esco-lq4rb more dr mike videos than last time
It would be pretty funny watching Greg make one video every 10 minutes of Mike's single video.
Versa Gripps is getting way more than they knew from this sponsorship.
Lou is the uncrowned champ for sure
Mike thats your best video ever. Jokes on point, the versa grips ad was hilarious! laughed so hard the whole video - what a masterpiece! 👏👏👏
@RenaissancePeriodization I’m proud of you.
Thanks for acknowledging the great legend Lou.
Critique El Campion
Haha yes
Lou F. scared me shitless as the Hulk. I remember hiding behind a couch as a kid as my brothers watched the transformation into the Hulk. Looking back, he was in some strongman competitions as well. The guy can do anything.
You joke about being " not so good" as a bodybuilder. But you got 2nd in the USA. So I understsnd the modesty, but it also implies people who placed lower than you aren't good. Which they are. Give yourself some credit man! At least don't put yourself down. I do that to and it poisons you.
He associates with pros. Comparatively, he's not good.
Lou still looks awesome today, all these years later.
Dude tried charging ppl 20 $ a pic at the arnold classic 😂
It's also to just stop ppl from asking so damn much 😂
Who? Dr mike or lou?
Lou did one year
Lou and his cousin Robyn Ferrigno were absolutely lovely people I had the pleasure to budtend for back when I was involved in the cannabis industry early in my career. This towering man with thick sunglasses standing behind Robyn(she was a regular) for her pickup order that day. Right before I left them I sneaked a whisper "Pleasure to see you Hulk!" He smiled and did this 'shh gesture 🤫🤫 I ran back and got them their order. Didn't bother to even ask for an autograph because I could tell they were in a rush(hence the online pickup order area). Great memories at that dispensary
I met Lou in 1992. Basically around the time that video was made. Really nice guy. Gave me an autograph. Signed it "Louie"
Lou is the pioneer of bodybuilding, this guy is the goat when it comes to natural weightlifting. I grew up watching this guy both as the Incredible Hulk and as a bodybuilder. Tons of respect for Lou.
That fly/push hybrid looks really awesome and with Dr. Mike's explanation is gonna get a spin here!
Lou is also deaf. Ferrigno attributes his profound hearing loss to a series of ear infections he suffered in his infancy that resulted in nearly 80 percent hearing loss, diagnosed at three years old. Since 2012, he has improved his hearing via a fully implanted cochlear stimulator.
DAM IT MIKE !!!!!!! i been watching your videos for awhile now , and that Versa Grip plug got me this time .. just ordered the XTREME pair . Keep up the fantastic content
13:25 Guillotine press! Such a great stretch. Even doing a traditional nipple bench then once on the down position moving the bar towards the throat to accentuate the stretch. Lou knows his stuff
