Close Friends are great and pushing each other to do Their Very Best, and Both these Men are proof of Such A great Friendship. Lou & Arnold thank U Both for Inspiration for me in my life's Challenges! God Bless and hope you Guys are still Close Friends and Competitors??!!
I was 19 years old when I first saw Pumping Iron. It was 1978. The clips of him doing the seated cable rows and squatting with Ed Corney was life changing. The raw intensity of those workouts was almost shocking to my senses, but I realized then that no matter how much juice you inject, or what your genetic advantages are, real progress in bodybuilding takes superhuman effort on a day by day basis.
@@TheDazzler420 They've gone too far. They crossed that red line. All roads from the top lead down. Bodybuilding has peaked and is now rolling downhill. Achieving even greater body gain gives a grotesque effect. See comics with muscle monsters.
I have had the honor of meeting Lou and Arnold in my life. Both were massively humble kind and loving men. Not only was their physique phenomenal but their hearts were big and caring. Arnold has always been my childhood hero along with Lou. I grew up idolizing these men wanting to be big and strong just like them, they are my heroes. I have grown up to be a big man. I may have a bit of a chubby tummy but I still got that upper body strength to match it. At 38 years old, I am a 6'3" 320lb bear-of-a-man. I am proud of my size and these two men inspired me to be who I am today.
These a good memories for me. Today near 59 I met Arnold when I was 15 yrs old in Peter Schachtschneiders Sport Studion in middle Germany. It was inspiring and motivating to put a skinny guy like me into bodybuilding fascination. I never become a real Bodybuilder, but I was 20 yrs in the army as a professional soldier and fitness Instructor. Today, always training, cycling and power-lifting and ready to get fit into the 3rd age and retirement - I nearly achived the body I always dreamed on. Sometimes things take a little bit longer, but its never to late to start, thanks to Arnold, Lou, Frank, Sergio and the rest of the legendary gang... thank you for giving us inspiration and motivation

These guys were CLLAASSSS!!! Training, eating , hanging together and pushing each other to greater heights! True sportsmanship. They had their own goals but still wished the best for their competitors. That has been gone from any sport for decades.
I really wish Lou could have won at least one Sandow in his career. He is a legend in Body Building and it would have been nice to see him win the Olympia just once. In my opinion he definitely deserved an Olympia title.
@BRETT Look if he couldn't win by that point in history.He wasn't going to win at all.He was built better than Arnold what beat him was politics.The same that gave Arnold the last Olympia that he cleary didn't earn.
@@jamesrender3464 he wasn't really in my opinion. You can see that Arnold is so much bigger and wider then Lou was. Arnold's chest and arms were huge Lou not so much. But what do I know I guess....don't be negative if you respond please
@@euriflores5100 no its not the same goal at all Arnold didn't focus on a person, he trained to be the absolute best. To beat everyone Lou worried on one guy, other guys were very close to Arnold and Arnold knew that. Lou didn't look at the big picture
Lou was mammoth. Hes probably the most underrated bodybuilder ever. The problem with body building is 1 the way muscles look is genetic and 2 the judging is subjective
Arnold tinha uma confiança inabalável e você pode notar isso sem dificuldade nesses documentários. Ele está sempre muito à vontade, carismático entre os competidores. Essa tranquilidade perturbava o psicológico dos seus oponentes. Fazia-os se perguntarem como ele poderia estar tão tranquilo e ser tão focado ao mesmo tempo. Essa cena do café da manhã demonstra isso perfeitamente. Note como Lou evita olhá-lo nos olhos enquanto fala. Normalmente está tímido olhando para baixo, desviando o olhar, enquanto Arnold, faz piadas, sorri e o olha diretamente. Ele já trabalhava suas vitórias nos bastidores.
I see the difference.... Lou says "that's enough, no more" and he got pumped up by the outside people around him. People around him wanted him to win more than he wanted to win. While Arnold couldn't wait to squat another rep of 800 pounds. Great vid man, thanks!
@MagickObscura Obscura: was gonna say exactly what you wrote. Arnold's legs were originally his weak point and he trained them to get them to a respectable size but he never squated 800.
@@connordutton674You have no idea what you’re talking about. We had people in our gym at the time that regularly squatted over 700 pounds deadlifted over 800 pounds and bench pressed over 500 pounds that was 50 years ago and we damn sure were not Lou or Arnold.
Lou's father: 'Lou you know you look like something Michelangelo cut out' True this men were more than bodybuilders, they were true artists. That's the difference of Olympia between now and back then.
main thing being, Arnold posed a LOT, he left nothing to chance. Including of course posing in between sets when already tired etc. Most of the old school guys took the posing more seriously. Look at guys like Zane who could effortlessly hold vacuums etc with no sign of strain
No, that would suggest that Lou was not training hard enough, because if he did, he would have been unbeatable. I think it's just an epic quote and I would not take it literally. It just goes to show that Arnold was always hungry to give it all and how much he thought of Lou as a great athlete. I love these two.
@@broad405 actually i do. Arnold himself alluded to it. Going into the gym and your mind already programed for something and then you make an instant u turn . It keeps the muscle been in shock and avoiding hitting a plateau
@@donjohnson2003 If you think THAT was ''domineering'' LOL, you and the 12 numbskulls who probably earned nothing but participation trophies growing up that liked that comment must have grown up true blue soy boys. Lou's Dad no matter what you think of him or what you think Lou "cared'' about when he was barely in his 20's, molded him to be one of the best of all time regardless, which was and still is light years ahead of how most Dads coach their siblings in any sport, present day.
I adopted his mentality for the promotions at my work. A co worker asked was I scared of my competition I said No, I can’t be beat I’m Mr Universe and this is my world I can’t be beat. Plus Body builders never focus on the next mans training methods when it’s time to compete.
Arnold is German, they has a curtain intelligent and wisdom. When it's time to play they play and when it's time to work they work and work hard. I am talking about the 70's when I was stationed their. They were literal, focused and straight forward. I was training at " Midcity gym" , and Arnold and some of the big time Wrestlers worked out together. It was to many big guys walking around. It seems like Arnold had that science behind him, plus he is intelligent. I didn't compete, no way! But I followed the his training style. Precision and focus was his main style. He have that German since of humor too.
@JESSE B Midcity gym is a or was a gym in Manhattan in the late 70's I was 18 years old. It was the only gym famous professionals worked out at. Lou is from Brooklyn and his gym was in the Italian section of Brooklyn. I wouldn't visit there. Me and my friend would gym hop all over NYC. I am from the Bronx. Bodybuilding hadn't caught on there to much in 1976. We moved from the South Bronx to the East Bronx to the Throngs neck projects it has its own community center with a gym ( free ). This is where I was introduced to weight lifting and Bodybuilding by my crazy Jamaican friend. No one hard knew about none of it including diet eating right. It was him that pushed me to lift and go watch contest, because I wasn't interested either. My friend was wild most of the upcoming Bodybuilders had regular jobs because Bodybuilding is expensive. It was two major protein powers back then Weider and Bob Hoffman. I took Joe Weider's "Crash weight gain protein powder formula number 7". I wanted to be like the one's in the mags. I was only 126 pounds when I started lifting. My Jamaican friend was more fanatical then I was. Back then you can go to a gum and pay a few dollars to workout for a day. We wanted to know" the secrets". Plus we wanted to see and talk to the big guys. It was no GNC, no actual health food stores. Everything was hard to find. Gyms sold your protein power. I come from NYC I don't know what country people did to gain muscle back then. I was never a serious Bodybuilder, I joined the Army and I started ( power lifting) for the Army. Like I said, I come from NYC and meeting people ( famous) people was hard because they walk the streets anyway. Google " Midcity gym" like all gyms back then they were small and basic. Not like today with these super gyms, the Westcoast was light years a head of the east coast. That's why Big Lou lifted Brooklyn. He was under "Dan Lurie" , and Arnold was under "Joe Weider". Apples and Oranges as far as marketing and contest. I could say more but it was fun remembering all that shit. Oh yeah, my Jamaican friend grew to be 6'2 300 pound power lifter competing too, he became a ( strong arm) collecting debts for Maria. I hadn't seen him in 30 years and one day he called me and I thought I couldn't be found in the tiny town in Pennsylvania I was living at the time. He laughed and said I worked for Mafia I am a strong arm that's how I found you. I miss those days.

Nothing makes more proud than knowing we have done all the necessary efforts. Regardless the result, victory and defeat are just moments and they alternate. What remains is ourselves, always.
Karma is just justice without the satisfaction and I don't even believe justice exists so what do you think that I think of karma.....quite blaming God or relying on the Universe or fate, it's only you at fault.
@@deathmwauthzyx3537 yeah but that's what Karma is, the consequences of your personal actions. The universe only "punishes" us in the sense that destructive actions naturally have destructive results
A master class in mind games. Mr Olympia just isn’t about the body it’s about the mindset. The great winners new they were greatness personified and it showed in their poses.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest bodybuilder in history with symmetry without looking like the freaks of today, and Lou Ferrigno was a giant in mass. Two of the greatest bodybuilders ever in my mind.
Yeah when Arnold left, every competitor gave Ferrigno the Olympia title. He had too chose between competing, and going on too play the Hulk. I think he did the best choice.
@@Mandred85 he was favored to win the Olympia. But when he got the part of the Hulk, he couldn't do both . So he was devoted to the series. The rigors of the makeup, putting in 10 to 12 hours a day on the tv series put any plans for the Olympia on hold. When in makeup, his pores couldn't sweat, or he'd smear the makeup. When he competed in the Olympias, and the Master's Olympia, he looked phenomenal. I think he was the victim of politics when he didn't win. But that's just my opinion.
@studio bauhaus Lou had a more naturally beautiful, symmetrical frame and muscle shape. Arnold had a giant rib cage and chest and ape type hunched trap muscles and ultra peaked biceps on one arm. Both did not have great calves though Arnold, whether by training alone or training plus calf implants had slightly better calves than Lou. Arnold won fair and square here. Not because of Weider. Not at all. Not at this Olympia. ( Likely at his final Olympia years later on his comeback year ). So why did Arnold win? He was slightly more cut, less water in the skin. His muscularity from muscle group to muscle group, especially in the upper body, was more separated. More muscle separation. His calves were fuller, longer, more developed. Finally, his presentation, posing, was sharper, quicker from pose to pose, more assured, steady, solid, confident. He also looked very sure of himself. Lou looked nervous and more unsteady posing and doing pose transitions. Now, personally, from a genetic standpoint, I prefer Lou's structure, muscle shape and how his mass is dispersed. He has a more perfect body in muscle length, shape and distribution of all his muscle. I also WANTED Lou to win so badly when I first saw this movie back in the 1970's. But, the fact is, Arnold deserved the win and was better that day.
@@philosopher0076 I have to go with Studio bauhaus.... It was a marketing win for Arnold, in that, Weider products wanted a spokesman for their products and Lou was deaf and did not speak well because of his deafness. Lou has monster traps as compared to pencil neck geek Arnold traps. Size matters in body building or Frank Zane would win... Oh that's right, he did win even though he was punny!!! Weider marketing won...
My dad is a retired Doctor, who had a visit from Lou. His door was open to his office, he was reading something, and the lights from the hallway got really dim. Lou was so massive, he had to duck his head in the door, and turn sideways to get in. My dad said he was the biggest man he has ever seen.
Especially when you see them fighting or arguing onstage, I know they are passionate but with all of the controversy with enhancers and the psychological problems, they could stand to look back and what a real professional looks like and how they carry themselves.
Both are incredible and inspiring huiman beings, in their own way. They both overcomed many difficulties and barriers, working their way up in life without trying to put others down.
Lou was without a doubt a very hard working individual that put everything he had into climbing through the ranks. That said, if you've ever watched 'Pumping Iron' you can see that Arnold certainly had a phycological advantage over him for sometime.
I mean arnolds posing was a little better, but I feel like Arnold got the better genetics als Lou was a bit taller. Even tho his arms were bigger it did not appear like this cause arnolds height compared with symetry. But in my mind its an honor for Lou that he filled the history books as one of the most challenging 2nd places ever. I have so much respect for this guy
One of the best stories of how, at the top levels of sport it is the psychology of the athlete that separates the winners from the losers. Both great competitors but Arnold always had the upper hand mentally.
yeah it helped that he had great genetics though.. i mean as an artist the guy is chiseled. everything is square. I was surprised that Lou had bigger arms. but looking at Arnie hanging around his arms are bloody huge too so... but he did have that confident glint in his eye. but almost a psychotic desire to train to be the best in reality too, not just in his head.
7:10 where can you see such kind of dedication in todays world . I mean just look at the angry spirit turns a person from rookie to a side competitor of MR. Olympia. This is motivation. thats the success.
It's amazing yet sad to watch this and come to the realization that if this kind of competition existed today, it would most likely end up in violence. This was real competition.

If u look at steroid users they end up dying young or having heart and other issues look at how many wrestling stars have gone, Arnold's had heart attack and so many lifters are fucked their body just has enough but it was different times now they all sniff, take useless drinks and rely on too much fake protein
Lol if you think he wasn't on roids too lmaoooo
These guys were CLLAASSSS!!! Training, eating , hanging together and pushing each other to greater heights! True sportsmanship. They had their own goals but still wished the best for their competitors. That has been gone from any sport for decades.

I really wish Lou could have won at least one Sandow in his career. He is a legend in Body Building and it would have been nice to see him win the Olympia just once. In my opinion he definitely deserved an Olympia title.
@BRETT Look if he couldn't win by that point in history.He wasn't going to win at all.He was built better than Arnold what beat him was politics.The same that gave Arnold the last Olympia that he cleary didn't earn.
@@jamesrender3464 He wasn't built better than Arnold. You can easily see that in this video.
@@sunnybenton Arnold was way bigger in my opinion. Chest arms back everything that's why he was called the Austrian Oak
@@jamesrender3464 he wasn't really in my opinion. You can see that Arnold is so much bigger and wider then Lou was. Arnold's chest and arms were huge Lou not so much. But what do I know I guess....don't be negative if you respond please

Lou's comeback in the early 90s was one of the most amazing athletic feats in history. The guy is an all-time great in my opinion.

*The difference:*
Arnold schwarzenegger wanted to be the number one..
Lou wanted to defeat Arnold..
_Figure out the mind set...._
it's the same goal, in order to be number one, he must defeat arnold first.
difference is that Arnold was very cunning, anyways Lou wanted to defeat Arnie cuz he himself wanted to be number 1
It mirrors Goku and Vegetas relationship a lot. Goku wants to be the best and vegeta wants to beat goku lol
@@euriflores5100 no its not the same goal at all
Arnold didn't focus on a person, he trained to be the absolute best. To beat everyone
Lou worried on one guy, other guys were very close to Arnold and Arnold knew that. Lou didn't look at the big picture
Lou was mammoth. Hes probably the most underrated bodybuilder ever. The problem with body building is 1 the way muscles look is genetic and 2 the judging is subjective
Those men drove each other to greatness.
The Austrian Oak had an amazing symmetrical body that stood out as perfection during that era..
The competition between these two was legendary... not to mention extremely intense.
Arnold tinha uma confiança inabalável e você pode notar isso sem dificuldade nesses documentários. Ele está sempre muito à vontade, carismático entre os competidores. Essa tranquilidade perturbava o psicológico dos seus oponentes. Fazia-os se perguntarem como ele poderia estar tão tranquilo e ser tão focado ao mesmo tempo. Essa cena do café da manhã demonstra isso perfeitamente. Note como Lou evita olhá-lo nos olhos enquanto fala. Normalmente está tímido olhando para baixo, desviando o olhar, enquanto Arnold, faz piadas, sorri e o olha diretamente. Ele já trabalhava suas vitórias nos bastidores.
The two KINGS of 70's golden era bodybuilding.
Lou's "Arnold! Arnold! Arnold!" while shoulder pressing is such a memorable moment. I often think about it when I do reps to failure.
It signaled defeat.
And of course Arnold’s one of a kind pecs.
2 reps
Oh your the guy who keeps screaming when lifting the empty bar!?!
I see the difference.... Lou says "that's enough, no more" and he got pumped up by the outside people around him. People around him wanted him to win more than he wanted to win. While Arnold couldn't wait to squat another rep of 800 pounds.
Great vid man, thanks!
@MagickObscura Obscura: was gonna say exactly what you wrote. Arnold's legs were originally his weak point and he trained them to get them to a respectable size but he never squated 800.
800lbs?! Ok, fanboy, calm down.
His training partner pushing him pass his limits what are you on
He could squat maybe his own Weight so 220 to maybe 350 pounds
@@connordutton674You have no idea what you’re talking about. We had people in our gym at the time that regularly squatted over 700 pounds deadlifted over 800 pounds and bench pressed over 500 pounds that was 50 years ago and we damn sure were not Lou or Arnold.
They were both beasts... such dedication, warriors.
"Louie is waiting for you... in the shadows" Chills, absolute chills running up and down my spine right now!
Lou's father: 'Lou you know you look like something Michelangelo cut out'
True this men were more than bodybuilders, they were true artists. That's the difference of Olympia between now and back then.
True! You say exactly what I feel !!! Lou sculpted his body into a work of total manly art !!!

Did you notice that Arnold is not short of breath? And today's bodybuilders gasp like steam engines.
He ran and power walked a lot
@@ogbobby819 indeed plenty of walks along the beach and even jogged
main thing being, Arnold posed a LOT, he left nothing to chance. Including of course posing in between sets when already tired etc. Most of the old school guys took the posing more seriously. Look at guys like Zane who could effortlessly hold vacuums etc with no sign of strain
@@JohnProph another good point !
Yeah, he ran regularly ...
Golden era bodybuilding is way better than modern day bodybuilding. Mass, porportian, symmetry, balance, striations.
3 of the greatest physiques of all time in that shot with Lou, Arnold, and Serge.....wow that was truly the golden era.

@@DespicableMe007 No that's not it. Arnold is from Austria but lived in the US. Lou was born in the US. Arnold was simply better simple as that.

No one in bodybuilding history can beat Arnold's upper body 💪💪💪
Lee Priest, Paul Dillett, Sergio Oliva, Ronnie Coleman just to name a few.
Flex
Nope, Arnold had the best upper body in history. Even Ronnie Coleman said Arnold was the best ever
Flex Wheeler was right up there with him. Maybe better.
''Arnold always said that if he had my potential nobody could beat him.'' -Lou Ferrigno
Do you think Lou had better genetics than Arnold?
No, that would suggest that Lou was not training hard enough, because if he did, he would have been unbeatable. I think it's just an epic quote and I would not take it literally. It just goes to show that Arnold was always hungry to give it all and how much he thought of Lou as a great athlete. I love these two.
Of Course.. Lou had better genetics,fuller muscle bellies.. but Arnold's physique is more aesthetically pleasing..
Most definitely
Nope
Lou had the mass game. No symmetry

Arnold goes into the gym on back day and does leg workout..the legs are shocked..

I thought the same thing. lol
But he can’t hear himself because he’s deaf

These guys inspired me. I met Big Louie, he was massive!
hulk vs terminator, batalha èpica!!
why arnold is best of all time bcoz of his attitude his mental strength he was not just a bodybuilder he was the brand a icon.
I adopted his mentality for the promotions at my work. A co worker asked was I scared of my competition I said No, I can’t be beat I’m Mr Universe and this is my world I can’t be beat. Plus Body builders never focus on the next mans training methods when it’s time to compete.

Arnold is German, they has a curtain intelligent and wisdom. When it's time to play they play and when it's time to work they work and work hard. I am talking about the 70's when I was stationed their. They were literal, focused and straight forward.
I was training at " Midcity gym" , and Arnold and some of the big time Wrestlers worked out together. It was to many big guys walking around. It seems like Arnold had that science behind him, plus he is intelligent. I didn't compete, no way! But I followed the his training style. Precision and focus was his main style.
He have that German since of humor too.
@JESSE B
Midcity gym is a or was a gym in Manhattan in the late 70's I was 18 years old. It was the only gym famous professionals worked out at. Lou is from Brooklyn and his gym was in the Italian section of Brooklyn. I wouldn't visit there. Me and my friend would gym hop all over NYC. I am from the Bronx. Bodybuilding hadn't caught on there to much in 1976. We moved from the South Bronx to the East Bronx to the Throngs neck projects it has its own community center with a gym ( free ). This is where I was introduced to weight lifting and Bodybuilding by my crazy Jamaican friend. No one hard knew about none of it including diet eating right. It was him that pushed me to lift and go watch contest, because I wasn't interested either. My friend was wild most of the upcoming Bodybuilders had regular jobs because Bodybuilding is expensive. It was two major protein powers back then Weider and Bob Hoffman. I took Joe Weider's "Crash weight gain protein powder formula number 7". I wanted to be like the one's in the mags. I was only 126 pounds when I started lifting. My Jamaican friend was more fanatical then I was. Back then you can go to a gum and pay a few dollars to workout for a day. We wanted to know" the secrets". Plus we wanted to see and talk to the big guys. It was no GNC, no actual health food stores. Everything was hard to find. Gyms sold your protein power. I come from NYC I don't know what country people did to gain muscle back then. I was never a serious Bodybuilder, I joined the Army and I started ( power lifting) for the Army. Like I said, I come from NYC and meeting people ( famous) people was hard because they walk the streets anyway.
Google " Midcity gym" like all gyms back then they were small and basic. Not like today with these super gyms, the Westcoast was light years a head of the east coast. That's why Big Lou lifted Brooklyn. He was under "Dan Lurie" , and Arnold was under "Joe Weider". Apples and Oranges as far as marketing and contest. I could say more but it was fun remembering all that shit. Oh yeah, my Jamaican friend grew to be 6'2 300 pound power lifter competing too, he became a ( strong arm) collecting debts for Maria. I hadn't seen him in 30 years and one day he called me and I thought I couldn't be found in the tiny town in Pennsylvania I was living at the time. He laughed and said I worked for Mafia I am a strong arm that's how I found you. I miss those days.

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.
THE GOSPEL (which means the Good News) is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest bodybuilder in history with symmetry without looking like the freaks of today, and Lou Ferrigno was a giant in mass. Two of the greatest bodybuilders ever in my mind.
Big Lou and Arnold the best of the best when Arnold was done with bodybuilding Lou definitely would have won that year after
BUt that wasn't the goal. The goal was beating Arnold.
Yeah when Arnold left, every competitor gave Ferrigno the Olympia title. He had too chose between competing, and going on too play the Hulk. I think he did the best choice.
@@andyrandall9289 still wouldn’t have minded Lou having one Mr Olympia title
@@Mandred85 he was favored to win the Olympia. But when he got the part of the Hulk, he couldn't do both . So he was devoted to the series. The rigors of the makeup, putting in 10 to 12 hours a day on the tv series put any plans for the Olympia on hold. When in makeup, his pores couldn't sweat, or he'd smear the makeup. When he competed in the Olympias, and the Master's Olympia, he looked phenomenal. I think he was the victim of politics when he didn't win. But that's just my opinion.

Arnold was alpha to an intimidated Lew. Even before they set foot on stage, it was already over.
@studio bauhaus Please. Lew was smooth and scared to be anywhere near Arnold. Especially on stage.
@studio bauhaus So, your trying to say Lou was natural? You absolutely kno nothing about that era, or bodybuilding in general.
@studio bauhaus Lou had a more naturally beautiful, symmetrical frame and muscle shape. Arnold had a giant rib cage and chest and ape type hunched trap muscles and ultra peaked biceps on one arm. Both did not have great calves though Arnold, whether by training alone or training plus calf implants had slightly better calves than Lou. Arnold won fair and square here. Not because of Weider. Not at all. Not at this Olympia. ( Likely at his final Olympia years later on his comeback year ). So why did Arnold win? He was slightly more cut, less water in the skin. His muscularity from muscle group to muscle group, especially in the upper body, was more separated. More muscle separation. His calves were fuller, longer, more developed. Finally, his presentation, posing, was sharper, quicker from pose to pose, more assured, steady, solid, confident. He also looked very sure of himself. Lou looked nervous and more unsteady posing and doing pose transitions. Now, personally, from a genetic standpoint, I prefer Lou's structure, muscle shape and how his mass is dispersed. He has a more perfect body in muscle length, shape and distribution of all his muscle. I also WANTED Lou to win so badly when I first saw this movie back in the 1970's. But, the fact is, Arnold deserved the win and was better that day.
@studio bauhaus Absolutely the truth. Marketing won, physicalness lost.
@@philosopher0076 I have to go with Studio bauhaus.... It was a marketing win for Arnold, in that, Weider products wanted a spokesman for their products and Lou was deaf and did not speak well because of his deafness. Lou has monster traps as compared to pencil neck geek Arnold traps. Size matters in body building or Frank Zane would win... Oh that's right, he did win even though he was punny!!! Weider marketing won...

I love how Arnold destroys those clichés in the beginning.
My dad is a retired Doctor, who had a visit from Lou.
His door was open to his office, he was reading something, and the lights from the hallway got really dim.
Lou was so massive, he had to duck his head in the door, and turn sideways to get in.
My dad said he was the biggest man he has ever seen.
Bodybuilding was so cool, now is more a freak show.
Hahaha I agree
TRUERRR WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN
Especially when you see them fighting or arguing onstage, I know they are passionate but with all of the controversy with enhancers and the psychological problems, they could stand to look back and what a real professional looks like and how they carry themselves.
what do you mean?
Yeah they started using horse steroids
If we had Ronnie vs jay and kai vs Phil competition memories ....Our dads have Arnold vs lou gold memories
Both are incredible and inspiring huiman beings, in their own way. They both overcomed many difficulties and barriers, working their way up in life without trying to put others down.
Lou was without a doubt a very hard working individual that put everything he had into climbing through the ranks. That said, if you've ever watched 'Pumping Iron' you can see that Arnold certainly had a phycological advantage over him for sometime.
I mean arnolds posing was a little better, but I feel like Arnold got the better genetics als Lou was a bit taller. Even tho his arms were bigger it did not appear like this cause arnolds height compared with symetry. But in my mind its an honor for Lou that he filled the history books as one of the most challenging 2nd places ever. I have so much respect for this guy
"I've waited months for him and he's not even in shape yet" lel
70's & 80s just seem the best era to be a young adult
One of the best stories of how, at the top levels of sport it is the psychology of the athlete that separates the winners from the losers. Both great competitors but Arnold always had the upper hand mentally.
yeah it helped that he had great genetics though.. i mean as an artist the guy is chiseled. everything is square. I was surprised that Lou had bigger arms. but looking at Arnie hanging around his arms are bloody huge too so... but he did have that confident glint in his eye. but almost a psychotic desire to train to be the best in reality too, not just in his head.
Lou had insane genetics at only 24
It’s a shame he retired so early
