I remember him benching 315 fairly effortlessly, at the outdoor pit. 400 would've clearly been viable.

thats another scene later in the movie. also it wasnt for 12 reps it was for 8..maybe 9 as the camera zoomed on arnold in the beginning of the set (franco benching 315 that is)

it was 405, Toxic posted a link to the movie the other day, i'll try to find it, he does two reps and gets the third halfway up before it stalls and comes back down.

I knew that was 405! Well actually 415 I think? 4 45s and two 5's.. I posted about this a few weeks back, and I was told it was 335. Not by Alexxx. Forget who said it. People forget Franco weighed 185 lbs. That is very impressive.

A 185 lb guy pressing 405+ multiple times, pre contest is strong as shit.

415 correct?

slaveboy1980 · « **Reply #57 on:** December 26, 2006, 07:01:58 AM »

yes id say 415..i thought 425 but they are too small to be 10s if my mental image is correct. but you have to look very carefully or it does look like 405..its easy to miss the 5s.

so yes 415 id say.

all you see in the audience at these shows nowadays is other juicefreaks, schmoes, fags, dealers, strippers, it's a joke.

Back when I used to go to contests most of the fan base was regular guys like us. I didn't see any weird shit like the crowds of today.

I read once that Lou said he was on a diet consisting of only 3 cans of tuna a day during the filiming of pumping iron.

Kinda hard to be as strong as when you are eating whatever you want when not cutting up for a contest. Alexxx doesn't take this into account.

hahahaha, exactly, fanny packs filled with insulin, Igloo coolers with 8 chicken and rice meals, fags and schmoes with thousands of dollars in their wallets for "posing sessions", spandex shirts, Crazee wear baggies, half naked strippers selling "fat burners", hahahaha, what a circus.

Part of today's audience. Not sure the audience in "the old daze" was any less scary:

There's a scene where Lou is eating an orange around noon time, so the next question is...

WHY IS LOU FERRIGNO ONLY EATING AN ORANGE FOR LUNCH IN PUMPING IRON??

then u will hear a bunch of tools responding "i'm 6'5" also and i can eat an orange with no problem"

Wao!! what a bunch of stupid people in this board

What is the deal about this 3 cans of tuna a day shit? Ferrigno could not have been that stupid.

Since when was Loui a strongman?
Since when does it matter what you lift, as long as you mentain the form you need to have to compete in the Mr Olympia?

I hate the fucker as much as the next guy, but seriously we forget what is important for Bodybuilders here fellas, as our all times spokeperson Chick says all the time: Bodybuilding is about illusion...that's all, not how much you can curl and how much you can bench.

No...it's because Lou is Italian. I read somewhere that Italians aren't very strong...it's a genetic thing.

Yeah I just saw it and am sure it was 3 plates and a 10 on each side. Franco had a lot of trouble doing 315 at the beach what makes you think he can bench 4 wheels a side?
