Last time I gripped half that weight for shrugs with no straps, my hands were bruised for a week.

Can somebody answer the question dammit? IS HE DEADLIFTING WITHOUT A BELT?


Thanks fellas!  >:(
So what? There are some elite powerlifters who do that, but most use it to do more weight. Using a belt isn't necessarily safer either.

If I was 5' 2", I could probably deadlift another 100lbs.  Midget lifts shouldn't count as real ones.  They only have 3" to move that weight.

Croatch now this was a stupid statement.  I mean if I was another foot taller I would be a centerin the NBA.  Or if I was 5'2" I would be the heaviest world champion jockey.  I personally seen Franco many times in the gym and he is strong no matter what.  And please get another ruler.  That is far more than 3"

How do you explain him being able to grip and hold 730lbs?  Can you do that? 
Of course not!
this old school athletes are an example of dedication and hard training! Nowdays few can match that kind of training those guys had back in the 70's! Today is juice based training, with low intensity! BB is a strength sport whether we want it or not. That is why many dream whith great feats on BB and never reach it and don't know why. Well, look at those pics anf find the answer!

He was on juice (and not just for one cycle in 94') so it doesn't count :)


You mean to tell me he juiced for his film, Beretta's Island?  :D

Unreal strength.  Not many guys can do that today.  Especially with no strap or belt.

He must of had strong freaking hands.

I like the fact that he's not using the same size weights on both sides... It's a good way to f**k with your mind and make it harder mentally
Huh?  They look the same to me  ???

This makes no fucking sense.  ::) Now if you were talking about those massive lardass benchers, I don't think their shit should't count since the bar doesn't have to be lowered nearly as far to hit their 400 pounds of lard.

Franco never used belts, wraps or straps. Yet his power was sickening and he looked good for his height and weight. Puts the HGH guys of today to shame.

That was the stupidest thing that I have ever heard in my life. Dumb logic.

Crazy lift. Can someone explain why no belt makes it more of a feat?

He looks good nowdays, besides the stomach, which isn't too bad.

those old school belts didn't do shit...the newer thick inzer power belts help a little but i haven't been any stronger when using one. it only makes me feel more stable.

yes, he was 5'5

Height 5'5"

it's got nothing to do with height on the deadlift, it's all about the length of the arms and where the bar is on the thighs when you lock out, so short guys with short arms actually have a disadvantage on the deadlift.
