  So the genuine public recognition success for Lou was the T.V. Hulk! That role simply made it all, yet to get there he'd done so much in the bodybuilding arena.
  
  Within 1973 aged just 21 at 250lbs b/w, he carries the Mister. Eastern America, Mr. America (AFAB) and Mister. Universe titles (IFBB) in Switzerland.
  
  Improving over and above recognition Lou then wins the Mister International and his second Mr. Universe title at the IFBB WORLD Muscle building Finals on the 3rd to 6th October 1974, whipping Ken Waller (second) and Paul Grant of Wales 3rd in the tall mens class. In the 1974 Mr Olympia in the first attempt Lou emerged 2nd to Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  
  Despite Arnold's persistent teasing wit, Arnold became Lou's new idol and in 1975 in South Africa Lou was standing man to man with Arnold in the classic confrontation featured in the famous movie PUMPING IRON. Lou was then a cut 300lbs mass of muscles piled on his close to 6ft 5ins high body, showing up third, beaten into second spot by Serge Nubret and of course Arnold claiming 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 Mister Universe Ferrigno amazed the sports world with his unquestionable success within ABC's T.V. WIDE WORLD Of SPORTS. With little previous experience, Lou finished in the money, collected $20,000 and proved along the way that weight trained muscles can be fit for anything becoming the very first real physique star to compete in TV's SUPERSTARS. First married for a brief year, he later married again on 3Oth May I98O to Carla Green and they had three 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 was 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 form of science fiction adventure taken from Marvel Comics, ie. The INCREDIBLE HULK.
  
  Bixby is a hapless scientist that if angered becomes a 7 feet beast, i.e the Hulk or Ferrigno. This huge accomplishment giving Lou world wide instant stardom far in excess of previous body building fame. For 14 years to 1982 the Incredible Hulk is succeeded by the Return of.. and the Trial of .. up until '88.
  
  For whatever reason Lou said the part of the body a lot of people observed with the Hulk is the pecs (I could have said 'Traps'??). So pec development was continually on top of his training list. Regardless of the earlier flop of "Hercules Unchained" which Columbia EMI pictures refused to release in the UK (it showed up in many USA worst films listings in 1983), Lou was now on equal terms inside the fame/movie TV stakes together with Arnold of "Conan" fame.
