True but his upper body was unmatched as was his conditioning. He was dense as fuck. It could have gone either way between Platz and Franco, I chose Franco but no way in hell he should have beat Danny
.....no one should have beat Danny that year.
Agree with you about Danny, total package that year.

Just get a photo of Franco and turn it upside down and just look how bad his legs look.

They look untrained, no one should win an Olympia with untrained legs.

I think you meant: "It should have been Platz, Padilla and Callender."

Jusup looks like he was carved by Michaelangelo. Platz's legs just look silly.

Coach,

I like you, dude -- really. I appreciate the fact that you stick by your guns, to say nothing of the fact that you've accomplished much more in the iron game than most of the people who habitually troll you.

BUT ...

I'm sorry, man, but I have to think the post I quoted is, as the English say, a "piss-take."

Seriously: FRANCO in second place? Franco, with really BAD gyno, horrendous legs and, let's face it, the dude improved on his arms tremendously since '69 or so, but his short limbs still made his better development in that area look knotty and bunched up, much like a T-Rex (or, for a modern equivalent, Branch Warren).

Danny, Tom, Roy and a host of others SMOKED dumbassed Franco at the '81 Olympia. Him winning was a bad joke.

Post by: Papper on August 13, 2015, 03:29:57 PM: I always felt like Arnold should have won that show in 1981.

I know he wasn't participating at all but I still think they could have awarded him.

Yes, and Arnold and Joe Weider didn't even come onstage to give him the award. Arnold congratulated him backstage.
