EDITOR ’ S LETTER

BREAKS

OUT!

I am so pleased and honored

this month to have ‘Big Lou’

Ferrigno gracing our cover! For

nearly 30 years, this bodybuild-

ing icon, TV and movie star—

second only in notoriety to

Arnold Schwarzenegger in our

world— has been off-limits to

most of our industry because of

his contractual obligations to

Weider— and even they haven’t

featured Lou on a magazine

cover since 1994! I can’t believe

that this bodybuilding legend—

the biggest to ever compete in

the Olympia— has been off the

market for so long! You can’t

imagine how happy I was when

John Romano came up to me

and said, “Hey boss, how about we run a feature with

Lou Ferrigno?” Are you kidding? If he could do that, I’d

give Lou the cover! The rest is history.

On page 214, Lou talks about how he started his body-

building career, the early years with Arnold, moving on

to TV and starring in long-running shows such as “The

Incredible Hulk” and “The King of Queens,” as well as his

roles in major motion pictures, including his newly-

released romantic comedy, “I Love You, Man,” starring

Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Jaime Pressly and Rashida

Jones. So far Lou’s performance has gotten rave

reviews!

His mainstream celebrity aside, Lou will always be

thought of first and foremost as a bodybuilder who, at

age 42 in the early ’90s, made a

remarkable comeback after being

gone from the competitive arena

for 17 years. The monster who

came back from the ’70s was def-

initely not a ’70s bodybuilder! He

was, even by today’s standards,

from another world. Lou is so far

the only bodybuilder to ever

compete in the Olympia at over

300 pounds! The transformation

was nothing short of amazing, as

the photos here can attest.

Having Lou featured in MD after

all these years on the sidelines

marks a great day for bodybuild-

ing and I’m so proud that he

chose MD as the place to be seen

once again.

Another giant in the bodybuilding world making a

comeback is the ‘German Giant,’ Markus Ruhl. I guess he

just couldn’t handle retirement and needed to come back

to the stage to hear the crowd chanting “RUHL!” See

what’s behind this landmark comeback on page 226.

Is Dexter Jackson destined to be a one-hit wonder?

Can he still improve and hold off the likes of Victor

Martinez, Phil Heath, Kai Greene and the rest gunning for

his illustrious title? On page 206, the latest edition of

Cyber Wars picks apart this freshman Mr. O, to see if he

has what it takes to bag another one.

Super-heavyweight and overall Nationals Champ Ed

Nunn has built some mighty high-caliber guns. What’s it

like to train biceps like Nunn other? Turn to page 244

and find out.

On page 260, rising star Mark

Alvisi makes his MD debut. Is Mark

next in line for stardom? Will he be

our next ‘big thing’? Can he over-

come the competition and turn pro?

See what he has to say.

Finally, what’s stronger than a

speeding bullet? How about George

‘Bulletproof’ Farah? On page 276, in

the exclusive story that he’s never

told before, this ranking IFBB pro

talks about his amazing journey from

death’s door to his incredible success

as a pro bodybuilder. I know you’ll be

inspired by Farah’s unique story of

survival and triumph against all odds.

The rest of the book is jam-packed as usual with the best of the

best in cutting-edge science, news and departments from the indus-

try’s top experts and pros on building muscle and burning fat to help

you build the body of your dreams!

See you next month!
