Sorry for the delay on this one. KZread demonetized my channel and I spent pretty much all of last week getting it back (bevause they refused to go through my videos manually; they just made AI do it). BUT now we're finally back and monetized so I can take time to make these videos while still doing my coaching❤️ thank you for supporting me, always

Lool, it was dislocated, so I guess it wasn't broken technically

Franco will always be an inspiration for short guys. This guy had superhuman strength for his size, Arnold even admitted Franco was stronger than him.

@@littlelebowski7714 I think his compact build and center of gravity actually helped him in some strength feats, like how many Olympic lifters winning in lower weight classes are Chinese ( many of em are short, and sometimes a more compact build is good for the lift ) Smaller size can be a good thing! ( pause? ) like how Mike Tyson would slip and duck giants in the heavy weight division just to knock em out despite the height difference

Franco was ridiculously strong for any size and time period. He was an incredible athlete who had an incredible life. RIP Mr. Franco!

Pound for pound, easily the strongest bodybuilder of all time! 💪🏽

Damn right he was beast..easily one of my fav bodybuilders dudes the original short king. RIP legend

An Austrian and an Italian enter a bodybuilding competition…

People from Sardinia are built different. My ex girlfriend was from Sardinia and his grandfather at the age of 70 something would grab giant logs, put it on his shoulders and carry them around like nothing. There was also this sardinian guy in a gym where I used to train that would rep 2 pl8s for 20+ like nothing. He was around 160cm built like a literal bull. He could also outjump literally everyone else there, even with his short size

Franco is such great motivation. He had the physique, the strength, and could throw hands. That combination of ability is the true goal!

Franco will always be an inspiration for men of all sizes. His dedication speaks volumes.

Thanks for this video on Franco. Massive respect to Franco, absolute beast! RIP Franco.

The first book I ever got on bodybuilding back in ‘76 was by Franco! He was the man!

Franco Columbu is my Hero

„They say it’s broken but it’s not broken“ 😂😂

The power of the mind is to never be overlooked and underestimated.

He was King's Arnold the one and only true love. RIP, Franco ❤

RIP Franco, a true genetic freak, a true athlete and bad ass as well! Amazing especially when things that novices use now weren't even around then. I will be 69 in December and remember him well in the magazines, WSM, etc.

one of my idols

That Stuttgart was very smooth tho

Legend forever

Okay that censor screen was absolutely hilarious

This guy has been a strongman comp lotta time. Need to say more?

All the bodybuilders would over-inflate their lifts back in the day. Ray Menzter claimed he squatted 900lbs for two reps.....

4:14 looks like 405

In the 1976 Olympia, yeah, he deserved it. 1981, though, it was a joke. Franco got a gift with undersized legs, gyno, and a so-so overall look. Even the networks knew the fix was in after the travesty in 1980...I don't know if they ever showed the O on TV again.

What a story it must be for the people back in the day that had there new roof put on by Arnold and Franco

Wtf you should be having more views for this video .

Let's remember how much Arnold loves and cares about us, in his own words: "I have been studying vaccination for years... Wear a mask, get vaccinated and scr3w your Freedom !"
