Improving over and above recognition Lou next wins the Mister International and his 2nd Mr. Universe title at the IFBB WORLD Bodybuilding CHAMPIONSHIPS on the 3rd to 6th October 1974, whipping Ken Waller (second) and Paul Grant of Wales third in the tall mens class. In the 1974 Mr Olympia in his first attempt Lou emerged second to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Despite Arnold's relentless teasing laughter, Arnold became Lou's cutting edge idol and in 1975 in South Africa Lou was standing man to man with Arnold in the classic confrontation shown in the well known movie PUMPING IRON. Lou was then a cut 300lbs mass of muscle mass stacked upon his near 6ft 5ins high physique, showing up third, beaten in to second place by Serge Nubret and obviously Arnold grabbing top title as history relates.
In 1976 Ben Weider, brother of 'our' Joe, called Lou Ferrigno as BODYBUILINGS MAN Of The YEAR, when the IFBB Mr Universe Ferrigno surprised the Sporting world with his resounding success within ABC's T.V. WIDE WORLD Of SPORTS. Without much previous experience, Lou ended up in the money, accumulated $20,000 and demonstrated along the way that weight trained muscles are in shape for anything turning into the first genuine physique superstar to compete in TV's SUPERSTARS. First married for a quick year, he later married again on 3Oth May I98O with Carla Green and they had 3 children Shanna Victoria, Louis Jnr. and Brent.
Even though Lou originally planned to contend in the Seventy seven Mr Olympia and try to de-throne FRANK ZANE, Lou had been contacted by UNIVERSAL STUDIOS who turned down Richard Keel for a more muscular Ferrigno to play a comic book hero. So in 1977/78 Lou stars together with Bill Bixby in the Jekyll and Hyde type of sci-fi adventure taken from Marvel Comics, ie. The INCREDIBLE HULK.
Bixby is a hapless scientist that when furious becomes a seven feet beast, i.e the Hulk or Ferrigno. This huge achievement giving Lou globally instantaneous stardom far more than previous bodybuilding fame. For fourteen years to 1982 the Incredible Hulk is succeeded by the Return of.. and the Trial of .. up until '88.
For reasons uknown Lou said the body part a lot of people noticed with the Hulk is the pecs (I could have said 'Traps'??). So pec development has been always at the top of his training list. In spite of the earlier washout of "Hercules Unchained" which Columbia EMI pictures refused to release in the united kingdom (it showed up in many USA worst motion pictures listings in 1983), Lou was now on equal terms in the fame/movie TV stakes together with Arnold of "Conan" fame.
