Lou Ferrigno was the second-best bodybuilder of the 1970s, a defensive lineman for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, a World's Strongest Man competitor and, of course, the guy who played The Hulk on The Incredible Hulk. But now Ferrigno is getting attention for something else: He was Michael Jackson's personal trainer.
Ferrigno says he was shocked when he learned that Jackson had died, and that when they trained together, Jackson appeared to be in good health and good spirits.
"I saw him a month ago," Ferrigno said. "I'd been training him. ... He was energetic, he was happy as he can be, he was animated."
Ferrigno had trained Jackson on and off since the early 1990s, and this year he had been helping Jackson get into shape for a planned series of concerts in London.
WHAT IS BACK PORCH? The easy answer: Back Porch exists because FanHouse doesn't have a basement for its bloggers. The bigger picture? BP covers sports news that's funny, off-beat and controversial. In short, it's the other side of sports, covered with an edge. Enjoy.
