Arnold Shwarzenneger vs. Lou Ferrigno. They built the foundation.
They've popularized modern bodybuilding in the 1970s and what it's meaning has meant in the world of modern world of sports for common athletes.

Arnold literally created Bodybuilding for modern exposure.






Arnold was Conan the Barbarian. Lou Ferrigno was the Incredible Hulk. They both promulgated the idea of super Bodybuilding applied during both their times.

The Incredible Hulk was one of my favorite shows. I used to do push-ups every time he changed into the hulk when I was young.

Actually it was Weiders, who employed Louie and Arnold.

He obtained his objective for sports as we all recognize them today. That was his objective.

He introduced mainstream bodybuilding into common athletics training. It's a fascinating read. That's how you build a brand and why he became the highest paid actor in America.

Joe Weider is considered the "Father of Bodybuilding."

Nobody even knows who he is beyond anybody interested in bodybuilding.

Do they still sell Mega Mass? That was one of my funnest Weider products to consume. It was like straight Dextrose and Maltodextrin Carbs with Whey Protein Concentrate thrown in the middle, lol.

Ferrigno will always be the Incredible Hulk to me. I was an 80's kid and still remember Friday nights: Hulk, Dukes of Hazard and Dallas. And of course, Saturday mornings with my cocoa pebbles and cartoons followed by Atari and playing outside.

I miss the good old days.

Arnold's personality wasn't much different than Donald Trump. That was his bombastic personality that made him a huge success!

He was the highest paid actor in Hollywood!

Quite so. Strange that they don’t get along — or maybe they’re too similar.

He was the first to teach me "the REAL battle is in the mind." He told himself he would become Mr, Olympia. He told himself he would move to California from Austria and become the biggest actor Hollywood has ever seen. He told himself he was going to become Governor of CA.

Arnold went out and accomplished every goal he set his mind to. Most people don't even realize he made himself a millionaire in commercial real estate investing before he even started acting. Form a plan. Work the plan.

Not many people outside, or even inside the Bodybuilding fan community, realize Arnold Shwarzenegger made himself a Millionaire in Commercial Real Estate investing before he ever even entered Hollywood. The man escaped his Austrian Army Camp at night to go compete in Mr. Europe. Balls to the Walls, lol.

That's a man that understands Sales & Marketing, lol.

Professional IFBB competitive bodybuilding is not a sport?
How about the World's Strongest Man competition?

I thought I made myself clear...NTR.

I know 450 and I could make an entire thread by ourselves discussing Bodybuilding thoughts & ideas. Surely somebody else in here has actually touched a weight in their life and understands basic nutrition.

I think smokers probably all feel defeated like has-beens, but you don't have to be.

From my study in Wellness in college we can recover from long-term smoking within a matter of months of cessation of long-term smoking. That's how resilient the human body is, and how you can get your's back.
