Franco Colombu - Best BB ever!
« on: May 25, 2009, 03:46:32 PM »
He was the Best BB ever with a full chest at 185lbs.
with the exception of the bitch tit incident in 1981. only on one side, strange.

Cutler also had the same gyno problem photographed and its been on the Flex website forever.

Franco was a tiny powerlifter that used the worst form ever in order to claim ridiculous poundages on the bench and deadlift. He had zero legs and 17 inch arms. Larry Scott looked twice as good as Franco did when you consider the whole package. Franco had a good chest and lats (he was very good at pullups, I'll give him that). His upperbody conditioning was good compared to the others but there were a ton of people that deserved to win instead of Franco, like Robby, Padilla, or Platz. He's only famous because he was Arnold's butt buddy and would have never accomplished anything on his own. Now he looks like death warmed over. He was a good deadlifter, but that is completely irrelevant to bodybuilding now isn't it.

I say again, Franco sucks.

He claimed to have 19" arms going into the 1981 Mr. Olympia. I have the 1982 Muscle and Fitness magazine where he's doing a chest workout and he claims that his arms were just shy of 19".

Asshole actually wrote an article in a late 70's Muscle Builder how he never did roids and you'd be better off eating many links of sausages to get the salty, bloated looked they/and roids woulkd give ya.

At 15, I knew he was full of shit
never, ever fellm into the weider bs
never, ever followed ONE routine either

Franco was awesome in the 70s

He was never the best-built guy in the 70s, and '81 proved the olympia was a farce. Our IFBB approved shill wrong once again.

Columbu also has no class or humility, still believes he was that much better than others who were robbed. ND entirely relates to this mentality.

However he still gets my vote for best shoe polish hair coloring.

I know he says that...don't know if he believes it
if you see him in person, as I have...you'd figure the guys has to have at least a mill saved
worst hairtransplants ever
Arnolds are better...however...look at published pics of a's hair...they always bolster it with a line of color to fill it in
