OMG Lou left!
I just got done watching muscle car on the powerblock TV and Lou just anounced it was his last episode.
I would die to have that job. I wonder why he left. I liked him on the show, it seemed like he really knew his stuff.

Re: OMG Lou left!
Actually, he left the show a while ago (you saw a re-run). He left to have more time w/his family & pursue other opportunities.
The guy that was working w/him is the main 'host' now.

Re: OMG Lou left!
I met him at our board meet in NC last month. Those were the same reasons he told all of us as well.

He made it public knowledge that he left the show here on the board quite a while back.

Re: OMG Lou left!
just went to his profile and then to his threads... that man is amazing. We all knew that from the show... but to see the work on that square body he is building... awesome.

Re: OMG Lou left!
I would of enjoyed a bench racin' session w/him (and many of other board members I've had the pleasure to deal with), but NC is a ways from North TX.

Re: OMG Lou left!
He left Powerblock around September of '07. Talked with him about it at SEMA last year.
