Aside from his 80` Olympia win,Franco always looked pretty damn impressive IMO.
Something that can't be said about Frank Zane.WOOOSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Because he didn't have an 80` Olympia win
franco and asshole i wonder why . he was a chiropractor and he is now around 70 years old .
I also thought it was 81...But if Wes says 80, its 80! Don't correct Wes
Aren't you yourself an individual who falsely claims to be a doctor?
His chiropractor license turned out to be fake, his movies sucked, and he got his Olympia wins in the slipstream of his buddy Arnold.... Hope this helps...
Franco is an accredited chiropractor, however it turns out his claim to have a Phd in nutrition from some obscure university in germany, is bogus, a lie. Arnold also had him appointed to the california board of chiropractors while he was governatorMaybe one day franco will be vice prez of the USA too
Worst Mr. O ever.He won because of Arnold, period. I mean, he had some good bodyparts, but as a whole, his physique looked like ass.
Did Franco get a gift from Arnold in '81? Who looks better here? Gyno nips Franco, or Giant Killer Padilla?
I am a huge columbu fan! He is my favorite bodybuider ever! seeing some of those pictures of Franco and other old school venice bodybuilders reminds me of what this sport used to be about! hard work! training for hours a day! and eating crazy amounts of food and dieting correctly when it counted! YES! Franco did get a gift but so did Arnold some years! Franco overcame some shitty genetics! He worked very hard to achieve his physique! It was not all drugs and HGH like some of todays bodybuilders! Franco was strong as fuck! Franco's chest lines are the best ever! crazy seperation. His chest is just pure insane as is his back! pound for pound he is the best and strongest bodybuilder ever! I have never seen anybody blowup a hot water balloon except Franco and that takes alot of lung capacity! Franco worked super hard to achieve the level he got to! if anybody has seen pictures of him as a teen he is a twink! It was all hard work with steroid use but nothing like todays guys use! He did not even have acces to some of the exotic drugs todays pros used. I think alot of pros looked better then todays pros. You can see the hard work they put in,Not just a bunch of site injections and nolotil! Like I said he did get a gift but he def deserves to be a Mr.O even if he was off! especially for all the years he was just as good as Arnold just the height was a problem. I can't say if he is a asshole or not! But he Def is my favorite bodybuilder and always will be. think about being 180lbs and benching 550lbs. The dude had raw strength! even when he was a twink he had raw strength! Bottom line Franco worked harder then many bodybuilders in the gym and bodybuilders today just do not train as hard! plain and simple they just rely on drugs year round! Franco actually worked insanely hard! He was cocky but so was Arnold! Both of them thought they were the shit! and if I looked like them I would think I was the shit too! anyway Pound for pound strongest bodybuilder! also lifted with pretty good form. I think his chin-up form was insane! His bench press form was great! asshole or not franco helped make this sport that now has a bad name! I mean who the hell did gay for pay back in their era? the mid 70's in venice was alot of guys just working hard!
franco was great . yes a bit bow legged . but his chest and back were very good . better calves than frank zane better thighs . even though yes frank structure may be more pleasing .. for some .
