The sport of professional bodybuilding is a tough journey to embark upon. It requires a lot of strength and might. The sport demands not only physical capabilities but also mental strength. However, there are no barriers to this field. Analogous to that, legendary bodybuilder and actor, Lou Ferrigno, believed that with the right amount of grit and determination, one could achieve big goals.

Lou Ferrigno once shared an inspirational example of a man working out in the gym. The star applauded and appreciated the man’s dedication to his body, despite physical limitations. But, what was so special about this man?

A photo posted by the Incredible Hulk in 2021 showed a man born with deformed limbs. In spite of malformed upper limbs and deformed lower limbs, the man had a chiseled body. The man proudly showed off his well-defined muscles in a pose for the photograph.

Lou expressed respect for the person. He appreciated his dedication to working on his body. His willpower and mental strength beat his physical limitations. As the person posed in front of the camera, showing off his hard work, it raised the question of whether people are truly dedicated.

The legend then demanded his fans to stop making excuses. He said, “Let’s stop making that one excuse you have been holding onto this week!”. Motivation comes from within. In this instance, the picture of a man depicting his will to move forward instigates a sense of inspiration to trudge forth.
