14. LOU FERRIGNO
Come on – no list of the biggest bodybuilders would be complete without the Incredible Hulk. Lou Ferrigno had a difficult childhood, as his hearing loss (which came from an ear infection in his youth) led him to be very shy. He was a gangly youth, reading comic books and dreaming of being as strong as the muscular characters within – and he certainly attained that goal. He first picked up a weight when he was 12, and trained enough over the following decade that he officially became the youngest man to win the IFBB Mr. Universe competition twice. He was also the tallest to have done so, and the only one to have gotten two consecutive wins. He was also among the youngest to enter the prestigious Mr. Olympia contest, strutting on the stage at 23 years of age. He eventually realized his childhood dream by becoming The Incredible Hulk and entering the world of Hollywood
