When I first picked up a weight at 17 yrs old and 138 lbs I said to myself if I could just get to 165 lbs Id be happy being that weight for the rest of my life.

Well, I hit that and just kept going. The most Ive weighed at 5'9" is 224 lbs and Im 220 right now. Im not sure how much bigger ill be before summer. Time will tell.

My original goal was 180lbs from about 135lbs, right now at 6' I am 253 as of yesterday...but I look like hell. I need to shed,about 5-6%bf and I'm bloated as hell.

The first person I saw with huge muscles was Superstar Billy Graham. After that I got my first wieght set and started lifting. Didn't get real serious until 5 yrs ago. I'm 5'8 and 190 lbs. So far all natural. Thinking about........the darkside.

Watching the Incredible Hulk on Friday nights made me want to look like him as well.

Lou Ferrigno was a monster. He made everyone else look small. Haven't heard anything about him in a long while. Is he still alive?

[Martano666]

Dagar. Yes Lou Ferrigno is still alive. Watch the newer dvd release of 'Pumping Iron'. There is a reunion between all of the stars of the original in the special features. Lou Ferrigno must still work out cause he is STILL fucking huge. Arnold Schwartzeneggar in the movie 'Predator' and 'Commando' was what sparked it in me. I must have been about 8 or 9 years old. My dad was a fan, so I became one. Started doing pushups and situps around that time as well. I began doing dumbell curls at age 10. Never got serious till my mid to late teens though. This was due to being picked on in Highschool.

Lou Ferrigno was actually in "THE HULK" movie. He was an extra. He was on the screen for 2-3 seconds as a cop. The police uniform he was wearing looked like it was gonna explode off of him.
