Famous for his role as the Incredible Hulk in the 1970s, Lou Ferrigno still induces a sense of fear among people with his Hulk transformation threats. The 72-year-old bodybuilder turned actor, still trains hard in the gym without getting tainted by the touch of age. He does not only do light exercises but maintains a strict routine with the right forms.

Through his latest video shared on his Instagram, Ferrigno revealed how he does not like people who engage in fitness stunts in the gym. Instead, the bodybuilder warned these people that their stunts might lead to some consequences that they would not like.
