Stallone wasted money hiring Franco as a trainer. The midget has never known more about resistance training than Sly. The “Sardinian Sampson” (

) is a midget who took lots of hormones.

Whats the story behind this? I thought Arnold n Sly were supposedly hostile towards each other for numerous years? Obviously Franco being Arnolds buddy. Or were they all friends and the media talked shit?

Like politics, a theater to keep the "fans" happy and excited.

Stallone is more muscular now in his 70's then he was in that vid lol..

stallone hired franco because he wanted to train to look like a boxer. franco used to be a boxing champion. he also wanted to get stronger and a bit more muscular. franco had stallone doing old style methods that boxers used. it works . they were basicaly bobbing and weaving etc as if in the ring. franco taught him how to box as well. he also put stallone on a keto diet. he lived it for 6 months!!! thats a long keto!!! along with the weight training. stallone was a strong guy. i know franco trained him for rocky 2 and 3 and one or more rambo movies. . not sure if there were any money involved but im sure there were ( and hormones to) stallone didnt want to get to big and bulky he wanted to look like a fighter.

A keto diet is an absolutley horrible diet for a boxer

For boxing you need to be ultra fut and have incredible stamina

For this kind of training you need lots and lost of carbs

What a dipshit

Rocky 2 was his worst condition of any Rocky movie....And whole premise was he needed to be lean and fast(chasing chicken) So he should have been pretty diced...I know Sly tore a pec...but terrible condition considering a world class Olympia competitor training him.

Yeah was going to say that but whole premise was that he was an out of shape bum who just does the best he can...and loses fight so fits storyline...But paying Franco(and Sly has done interviews saying he charged ALOT)...to come in that condition is ridiculous...ditches Franco and gets in best shape of whole series in Rocky 3.

Kwon · « **Reply #18 on:** January 08, 2018, 09:32:28 AM »

Best shape was in Rocky 4 or maybe Rambo 3 or Cliffhanger.

Maybe Copland.

Just by chance saw Columbo won Olympia twice...1976? Thought it was just 81...Boy 1976...No posts ever about that Olympia...Waller won over 200 lbs Franco under 200 then overrall?
I have never seen any reference to this Olympia..no footage...

Going over to Bodybuilding History/memories board for info...anyone know anything of 1976 Olympia?

Francos 1st win I guess

Stallone was defintely in his best shape without Franco, though maybe he came away with the knowledge from him

See what happens when people have no idea that Arnold was the product of nothing more than steroids and amazing genetics? They go and train in moronic ways like this thinking there is some magic bullet to look like Arnold when really there is nothing other than...steroids and amazing genetics.

Sad.

Then again, this was the 1980s. When a mortar and pestle being found at a crime scene led investigators to automatically assume the involvement of a Satanic Cult in what would later be coined "The Satanic Panic" of the 1980s.

Looking at back this dumb shit is the same way future generations will later look back at people like Vince Basile and Booty and all the others who scream "racist" at any White man who was nothing at all. Other than correct. It's interesting watching this decades later - but not necessarily in a good way.
