Francois used to train at a small powerlifting gym in Columbus OH. He said that there were many powerlifters at that gym who were stronger than he was.

Anywhere else; Francois would've been the strongest guy in the gym. But Francois decided to be humble and go to a gym where he was just another member; trying to make improvements.

I remember watching that particular AC live on ESPN. American Muscle Magazine was the name of the show(?).

I remember the hype and was looking forward to seeing him against Yates on the Olympia stage but he got a little lost in the shuffle.

Then his body packed it in.

Francois won the 1995 ASC in March, but he couldn't get back into peak condition again that September.
