This is what makes me believe the bench claims (and most others) are BS. Anytime you see a pic of Franco benching 5 plates a side, he simply took it off and held it for the photo-op, then put it back. Ric Drasin confirmed that's what they used to do, same goes for that loaded T-bar pic. The 665lb squat claim is ludicrous.
That's the video that I saw, if you can see the video, you can see how he was doing the 6th rep and the spotters threw him off. Noticed how he was using perfect form and not even going all out. Then the 2 idiotic spotters threw him off completely. I firmly believe that if Franco was wearing a belt and he had a good spotter spotting him the right way (only 1 spotter, behind the bar) he could get 10 reps or at least 8 reps, of course this would be a maximum effort on his part, not laying on the bench and pressing like he is bored or something, but going all out. I also heard he deadlifted 790 lbs in the gym, not in competition but in the gym, so for him to squat over 600 lbs is not shocking at all, but he should've squatted more (I firmly believe the squat and deadlift should be equal, a huge difference shows imbalance. Some have a very strong squat and a lagging deadlift, or vice versa. Strong squat means strong quads, strong deadlift means strong hamstrings)
