That is damn impressive - over 4 times his bodyweight for a deadlift is world class.

So in response to the original question then pound for pound Franco is the strongest bodybuilder ever by far.

Post by: noworries on October 25, 2010, 09:13:24 AM: I will never forget watching Franco doing bent over rows with no shirt on. I was sitting on a bench right behind him and his lats just flaried out like huge wings. He would rep 500 deadlifting like it was nothing. Back then that was very stroing to me.
