I expected a photo of them both pulling on one of Arnolds hands trying to win get him onside.

What are the odds Columbu actually wrote that?

And what are the odds he benched 400 for reps at a bodyweight of 180 pounds or whatever the fuck the little guy weighed?

There is 100% a touch of downs in him. You can see it in the eyes. Completely no self awareness and no real job. He’s just too immature and insecure that he cannot BUT take the bait each and every time. Go easy on the tard. I’d even be too embarrassed to be seen at curling contests let alone compete

1. Zero

2. He ABSOLUTELY did not perform such a pressing feat at under 200. Just like Arnold never benched close to 500.

I’m sure Franco could bench in the mid 400’s?

I would wager there were a few times, during his training days, when he could hammer a reasonable, but not comp-worthy, rep or two with something in the low fours.
