Talk About Hulk Strength
Talking about Hulk strength, here’s a photo of Lou Ferrigno and myself at the LA Fit Expo that took place this past weekend.
It not only was a great photo op, but I had a few moments to talk and share some stories about strength training and even about how Beethoven created some of his greatest masterpieces in music when he was completely stone deaf.
I told him the story about having played the then popular Incredible Hulk theme music as the encore in my senior recital at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as a piano major. It’s a pretty funny story actually…
Playing that popular TV series theme music might not seem too strange to some of you. But, while I was studying to be a serious classical pianist, I was also training as a power lifter, bodybuilder, and martial artist. I had gotten pretty big and it was hard to tell a piano and myself apart sometimes. 
After transferring from another famous music conservatory, I’d often hear my colleagues making fun of me behind my back saying I was too “musclebound” to play the piano well.
So, even though I had my revenge by going on to win some of the biggest competitions which they also competed in – including the award to play with the San Francisco Pops Orchestra, I still had fun rubbing it in my senior recital by ending my recital with an encore that was the actual theme song to the TV series The Incredible Hulk – total sacrilege to say the least. I still remember the gasps when I announced it. haha
Just last week, I actually even spoke about how to apply Hulk strength in my new pull up strength training DVD course that’ll be released very soon. It’s a really cool concept for sure and think you’ll really appreciate it when you see it.
Lou’s fingers are about 2 inches longer than mine. He has a giant paw for sure. I had great pleasure in showing him an important super strength concept in CoreForce Energy that demonstrates the vast differences of power vs. force. When I grasped his hand tightly and tried to push him backwards with brute force, I couldn’t budge his Hulkness.
But, when I used the unique CoreForce Energy super strength principles of flowing energy correctly, I effortlessly pushed him back without any effort or tension whatsoever with one hand in my pocket. Someone watching it on TV would say he was being paid to “act along”. It put a surprised look on his face for sure. He’s an awesomely inspiring man and gracious to everyone he comes in contact with. Truly inspiring.
Anyway, I’ll tell you more about the cool The Fit Expo in the next blog post including picts from the awesome strong man competition.
To your Strength and Mastery,
