Almost every Franco training pic on google is a deadlifting pic

Looks fake in that regard to me.

Franco didn`t need to pose with fake plates....he was super strong.

QFT.

By the way, the first pic concludes that's another deleted scene from Pumping Iron judging by the recognizable characters who in fact filmed the movie.

first thing i think when i see this pic is, he needs to lift his head up and stick is chest out.

Cool pics!!!

Nice old plates. But it's "only" like 315 t bar rows + bar and 405 squats I guess.

Still strong tho.

Looks like Danny Padilla and John Balik in the background.

Agreed. And I don't think Danny Padilla would have that look on his face unless the weight was real.

I`m sure if you were around then and advised Franco on back training,that he wouldn`t have ended up with such pitiful back development!!

See Franco in Pumping Iron as an intelligent freaky strong individual. See Arnie as the snake and muscle monster he is. And of course see Louie as the punk ass arse crying biatch he is.

GraniteCityDon · « **Reply #23 on:** February 17, 2012, 05:52:12 AM »

i still cant believe it when he throws the car about, lb for lb strongest of his era? He laughs with 315 on his chest also, then finishes the rep as if it never happened!

wes · « **Reply #24 on:** February 17, 2012, 06:02:13 AM »

Old deep dish plate........not a good view but the best I could find.
