Wonder if he got any joint problems?
Franco has no problems at all now.

I guess 1981 was a contest of upper bodies. :-\  Franco never recovered fully from the World's Strongest Man competition accident.

He likely did have the Best Back in the contest along with Best single Gyno.

Far from the best upper body overall.

Of course he does  ...he abused his legs ...he demanded from his entire body more than any other bodybuilder .....  he tore a bicep for a reason and kept raining like a maniac long after ....  bodybuilders never admit theyre in pain , specially joints




WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tom looks very good in them pics
Very heavily muscled though it’s a different physique type
That some won’t like.

Yes I agree, he was probably 5'8'' in his prime but after years of steroid abuse and heavy lifting and age he lost some height. I believe all pro bodybuilders lose on average about 2'' by the time they retire

^^
My Chiropractor who I have known (and worked out) with says it is from doing BARBELL Squats compressing the spine, over time it gets WORSE.  He advised me early on to do
only hack squats, front squats, etc... However I am guilty of many years in the Army of doing Barbell Squats as that's what the weightlifter did in the late 80's early 90's!

Tom did not have pro level arm development. That ruined his look. If he had arms like Lee Priest he would’ve been Mr Olympia

^^
Then how come Chris Dickerson won the Mr. O with 15" arms???

And Zane / Franco / Dickerson/ Haney  all had Lee priest size arms. ??

True, forgot about that.

Looking at his old training videos it looked like he had knees of titanium the way he was doing those leg exercises.

I had the pleasure of spotting Tom in World Gym, Santa Monica in the early 80s. He was incredibly the most intense BB I have ever known outside of Rory..

Really? Tom had great arm development in 1981 (PRE-bicep tear)
