Franco looks horrible in every shot compared to his competition. Looks like he should have placed third or something. All he had was lats and chest. thats it.

I think he's turning 66 in August actually.

http://musclememory.com/show.php?a=Callendar,+Roy

Well I think it ain't right cause I remember saying him happy birthday at the end of september last year If I remember right.

I wasn't a that gym in august. HE told me he was 64 so maybe he lied

Stavios · « **Reply #111 on:** June 02, 2006, 09:01:03 PM »

sometimes he is sympatic but I think he is clearly delusional about modern day bodybuilding.

the other day he was explaining to me that It should only take me 4 years to become a pro bber ( I am 18 ).

So I asked him, how am I supposed to gain pro level size in 4 years ?!

he said: " Listen kid, at your age I was mr.universe and training with arnold in california ! Look at the bodyfitness girls that I train, next year they will win the canadians and get a pro card" ( those girls barely won a regional level show )

damn, that 2nd shot is pretty awsome....

Padilla has NO quad sweep and a very goofy, strange look on his face in all the shots.

well, he's totally shredded..I think it's ok to give up a little sweep to come in in that condition. I actually remember reading that the judges marked him down for being drawn in the face...no that's being a little nitpicy.

Thats a piss poor excuse why judges placed Padilla so low. Since when does a face have to do with a physique contest?

I agree.

Padilla had the best overall package in 81. He should've won that contest, IMO of course

Noone was a worthy Mr.O that year, except Danny maybe, but he is like 5.2 or something, not that it should matter, but apparantly it did, or a feud with you Weider but I dont know. He was smaller than usual at tha contest too, I think he said he ate 40 grams of protein "to try something new".
Franco has a wierd body. He looks very massive in some shots, esp from the back. His upper chest might be the best ever. That said I think he has the astetics of a fridge and awful awful looking legs, sweep? cuts? anybody? I think he did leg extentions only for that contest after that accident in 1977 that held him back from training legs at all for quite some time.
Overall you really have to knock almost all the guys lack of leg development. You could not win a novice contest with that now. They can not have given their legs more effort then 3 sets of squats, a few sets of legextensions and at tops some leg curls on that. ed Corney could not do more than 8 reps with 3 plates in Pumping Iron and had to lie down on the floor and weep after that. Thats incredibly weak pondage. Guys today do that for their warmup.

weren´t they 100 pound plates?

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #119 on:** June 03, 2006, 04:39:08 PM »

No that was regular ass plates bro.

Luv2Hurt · « **Reply #120 on:** June 03, 2006, 07:00:38 PM »

Agree everyone there but platz had weak legs.

natural al · « **Reply #121 on:** June 04, 2006, 06:02:56 AM »

I think it's important to remember that in the 70's up until platz came along big legs were not as important as they are today. Basically it was all about the upper body. It was only after guys like Platz and belknap came along that eveyone said "hey, look at that...I gotta get me some of those" calves were always important because of the old theory that if you had good delts, abs and calfs you were halfway there but thighs and especially hams were not the be all end all that they are today.

1. Padilla
2. Callender
3. Platz
4. Dickerson
5. Columbu
6. Bannout,

I would place them like this.
Dickerson really had the worst arms of any Mister Olympia, Franco the worst legs ever. If Franco didn`t stop competing in 1976 and didn`t break his leg he could have been a legit Mr. Olympia in 1976-1979.

NotMrAverage · « **Reply #124 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:24:15 AM »

Viking:
That are good placements. I would place them identically.
