Lou Ferrigno once revealed that he was highly criticized and laughed at by his friends when he started bodybuilding. They would look down on Ferrigno as bodybuilding was not an illustrious career back then.

Ferrigno, however, chose to rise above the criticism and carve a path for himself. Although Ferrigno never won the Mr. Olympia contest, he served as a formidable competitor to bodybuilding giants like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
