you fools, did you read Ahhhnold's book? Franco got that split from Inclines. He's the only person in the history of lifting that "got it right"

the thing i never got about franco was that his upper body was so shredded, yet his legs Never had even One Single Cut anywhere in them, ever.

tru i have never ever done inclines but do a lot of flat benching and weighted dips. if i was to do inclines and develop the upper part of my chest i would develop a deeper more detailed split.

p.s not comparing myself to franco as a bodybuilder in neway what so ever. just the split issue and even mine is no where near comparable to franco's

Awesome quad flair. Worst Mr. Olympia legs ever... yes, worse than Larry Scotts.

Edit: Crazy back & chest though.

"worst mr. olympia legs ever"

Franco's legs were just as good as the other bodybuiders of his era (zane, arnold etc...)

His back/shoulders were just fuccing sick. The detail in his chest was pretty insane.

By the way, he called and asked you to lick his left nut.

Well, when you're finished licking his right one, call me and I'll handle the left one. Dork.

Superstrong for that era or any era for that matter.Never really understood the draw to his build.Zane smoked his ass.

He wasn't nearly as strong as Weider claimed. The deadlift was by far his best lift.

The little bastard beat me in 1970 even though he had bow legs and 16.5 inch biceps. He got better though.

To be fair he never had gyno in the 70's.............must have been the new fangled drugs in 1980.

Arnold, Zane and other guys from that era had better legs than Franco. His quads had no seperation at all. Franco made a living on Arnold's coat tails.

Platz even had a better upper body that franco which sounds unbelievable but its true, he dwarfed the ickle sardinian. This stands as the biggest injustice in olympia history; shawn ray in 94 doesnt even come close and that was an atrocity.

By the way, it's not Franco Columbo... it's Franco Columbu.
So many people spell it wrong!

Platz should've won, almost as much of a travesty as Zane beating Robinson.
