Lads, here's a few gems from a very recent interview with legendary bodybuilder Franco Columbo talking about the old days:
Well one of the craziest moments involved Albert. Back then Albert sold vitamins and minerals. And he kept telling us that brewer's yeast will help you build muscles. And when we started taking this brewers yeast, I thought my skin was shining! I mean, it really felt better, and wow, we never took brewers yeast before and we really liked it! Then I said to Arnold, 'You know they have brewers yeast in beer!' So we thought, 'Hey, it might be a good idea to drink beer when we trained!'(laughs). So downstairs was a bar and a little restaurant, and because the owner knew us, he said we could pay once a week, and then we could come down and get beer every day. So we would look out across the street and at the hotels. And people in the hotels used to watch us because the windows were open. We would do a set, then after a couple of sets, we would go drink a little beer in the window, then do more sets.
So one day when we went downstairs, the guy said, 'No more beer for you guys.' When we asked why he said that that had no more mugs for their customers! He said we took beer but didn't bring back the mugs. So I went upstairs and told Arnold the guy won't give us any more beer because we have all the mugs! They were all in the windows. We had ten mugs in each window! So the rest of the day probably we spent going up and down stairs taking all the mugs back so that we could have more beer, cause we needed it to train! Crazy times in the gym!
