Lou Ferrigno is one of the legends in the bodybuilding industry. He was the champion of one IFBB Mr. America title in addition to two consecutive Mr. Universe titles. The bodybuilder considers the gym to be his temple. Subsequently, on numerous occasions, he has called out lifters who have little to no respect for the gym. He had previously called out such ego-lifters in front of the international media.

Ferrigno was known for his well-sculpted physique and intensive training routine. In an interview with Men’s Health Magazine, Ferrigno once discussed his no-nonsense chest and arms workout regimen. Additionally, he also discussed gym etiquette and shared his views on ideal exercise forms.

In his 2021 interview, Ferrigno discussed the perils of being an egotistical bodybuilder. “I’ve seen guys pick up 50-pound dumbbells, swing them, drop them because they want to make an impression,” he said. “You don’t want me to be angry. 

The bodybuilder-turned-actor had a stern message for his fans. The 71-year-old IFBB-pro starred as the Hulk before Eric Bana, Edward Norton, and Mark Ruffalo for five years straight from 1977 to 1982. Ferrigno jokingly stated, “You won’t like when I’m angry, because you don’t want me to become the Incredible Hulk! So make sure you do it correctly.”
