Thick from calves to jaw, minus his arms.
He once did a guest appearance in my town and a friend of mine has an autographed picture from that event.

5'8"

Just under 5'7". He has said so himself. Was 218 pounds onstage and 235 pounds offseason.

He stated in a 1982 or 1983 article in Muscle and Fitness that he was either 5'6.5" or 5'6.75" (Can't remember which one) and that his competition weight was 218 and offseason weight was 235 pounds.

His arms were around 17" I believe. I never knew that he carried that much size into the late 80's. He looked pretty good in that show. His 1994 comeback was okay, but he had lost too much upper body size at that point and his legs were no longer freaky. His best ever condition (mass and class) was 1981-1982 though and he did look pretty good in 1980 as well.

Not a big fan of Franco's physique, but..
Danny has the symmetry, but lacks the thickness of Franco.
Platz lacks the symmetry, so...

i hear u but i think danny looked better in 81, a 76 franco mighta been different but 81 franco wouldve been lucky with a 3rd place. that gyno was just plain nasty lookin,he had zero legs also

Not the most aesthetically pleasing physique.

He carried a lot of thickness & mass.
Freak of his era.

1981. Mr Olympia.
He Defiantly was Robbed.

Meet him a few times always polite & well spoken.
