I don't know are these guys at your gym benching 455 with no spotter and weighing just 188lbs?
franco benched 555lbs I think at his best weighin under 200lbs. The guy also had very good form on most lifts but he had a short range of motion due to being short. so what you want but he was one strong son of a bitch! and he did not abuse AAS/HGH/slin like todays bodybuilders! look at some of his back/ lat spread shots the guy has no space showing at all between arms and lats. Hug for 200lbs! way stronger then me! no way I could ever lift that much on all the drugs in the world!
Only reason why no gh/slin, is cause it wasn't around. Just like everyone he mega dosed on everything. Back then guys like mentzer bros, viator, giuliani were doing meth to cut up, and. supress appetite...
A bodybuilder is a bodybuilder, only difference back then is pics were b&w, and no internet, so they got away with shit
Franco was strong, very strong, great chest and back. But very short limbs so a bit easier to hide gap between arms in lat spread, much like eduardo kawak,
