On a bodybuilding board you comment on someones head and neck first and then proceed to call him dumb as dog shit lol.  You sir are a retard!!!

Looks to have a really impresive build, his genetics are a limiting factor like always and his seem so be limiting more than other i.e. hes a big dude, but legs need more sweep, waist a bit thick.........  Can he be an impresive pro? IMO, nope.

Looks good especially his conditioning but not meant to be a top pro. Top 10 at a small show maybe someday but unlikely.

He owns Franco the 2008 version.

Franco's biggest advantage was being Arnold's buddy from day one. He was never the world's best BB despite 2 Olympias. Padilla clearly beat him in '81, and alot of the top guys didn't enter in '76, knowing the outcome beforehand.

Please note: Franco Columbu was tall the half of Arnold but much more stronger than Arnold

He was actually stronger than Arnold in the big three lifts.

Of course, though not that much stronger on something like bench if i remember correctly. Much stronger in relative terms, which again is an aside when it comes to BB given that Schwarzie was by far the better of the two. Columbu benefitted tremendously by his associations with Arnold and then with Weider, has never had the humility or class to ever acknowledge it.
