That's just sad. Arnold's a governer, Loue is a reserve cop.
He's an asshole. Ferrigno was a tremendous athlete--hell, the dood is still in shape--and his training advice is solid, if not revolutionary. But poor Lou spends too much time bitching about life and what might have been. He writes ridiculous statements such as, "I could have won the Olympia if I hadn't retired." That's kind of like me saying I could have been the world's greatest concert pianist, had I ever taken up the piano.
Lou ultimately never had what it took to make it to the top, competitively. He never reached the summit at his peak in the 1970s, or when he returned to the sport in the Masters division. Instead of accepting his limitations and turning them into something motivational, he tends to blame others for his failures. Thus, instead of being an inspiring book, his "Guide..." winds up being irritating.
It didn't help that when I met him for the first time--a lifelong dream--he stuck his hand in front of my camera and said, "No pictures," then wanted to charge me $20 for a picture of him taken with my own camera! He's been referred to as "the Incredible Jerk," and my own experiences with the man certainly validate that title.

i agree with lou a little bit,
lou retired at age 24 in 1975 .i would not have considered that his peak at all. We all seen arnold did not reach his peak untill age 28 in 1975.So had lou stayed with it conditioned himself another 4-6 years and reached his true peak around age 28 -30 he could have won it those later years when dickerson and sammar did the one shot wonder thing.
lou just did not feel like losing for another 5 years.
But hell look at jay cutler he has lost what 5 years in a row and he has not givin up .
lou just gave up in 1975 at age 24 thinking everyone was gonna be better then him . when in fact lou relized in the mid 80s after seeing zane win 3 times ,franco win, dickerson win once and sammar win once. lou was kicking him self saying god damn it i should have stuck with it and he prob could have beat dickerson in 1982 but thats the only year i think lou could have won and that only had he trained for another 7 years and actually reached his peaked and learned how to time his body for a show

Made more money on T.V. than he ever would being Mr.Olympia.He does need to let go of what might have been that kind of thinking only brings someone down!!
