Agree. Hey Shadow, FFS mate - use the 2nd icon in the row above the smileys that looks like a picture (to the right of the insert flash icon). Right click on the image you wish to post, left click properties, select the 'location' by left clicking and holding the mouse button down and draging it through the entire length of the location and then copy and paste it inbetween the '(http://)'. Jeez!!

unreal lats.....

http://www.schwarzenegger.it/mro/columbu/fc113.jpg

Used to see that shot all the time even bigger. He would do bent over rows with his shirt off allot. He woudl step up on the blocks then do his sets. His lats were so frinkin huge from behind. Just incredible. Still the lowest and thickest lats ever. Strong as hell too. And he gave us all great massages.

"big guy"? Franco was a shrimp. He could hide behind Lee Priest. Franco made it on Arnold's coat tails. I really think if not for Arnold, Franco would be remembered as a mediocre bodybuilder.

Just kidding. Columbu was good, though I think he excelled in mass and definition and lacked some of the symmetry and proportion of Arnold and other contemporaries of the time.

Title: Re: the best of FRANCO COLUMBU..
Post by: buffbodz on July 10, 2006, 01:03:40 PM: I think Franco was one of the only Bodybuilders to compete in the original "Worlds Strongest Man" when it was on CBS on Sat. afternoons. He finished top 3, if my memory is right. Tremendous wrist strength. They had a device you twisted with a weighted rope attached. Who ever got it to the top first won and as I recall, Franco's wrist strength was amazing. He fell in the refrigerator race and told the spotters, He was a Dr. and knew his leg was broken, just like carrying on a normal conversation. Amazing, but that was the day of Bill Katzmyre (sp) and He took it all.
