When we grew up we had no internet, I had stacks of bodybuilding books that I read a hundred times over, these guys, Mr Drasin Mr Colombu, Bill Pearl Leroy Colbert Bless him, Jerry Brainum I read his articles so often. Never would I have imagined that we would be so fortunate to have youtube and all this awesome stuff to see our idols like Ric and Franco. Thank you so much Ric, we are so blessed!
Dr. Franco Columbo was Dynamic Body-builder, master of the sport of National Champion of bodybuilding in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's, and a long time cover Avid sports Chiropractic in West Los Angeles for several decades .Franco was dynamic person, and will be missed by many Avid fans of Dr, Franco Columbu through-out the world. God bless his family, friends, four corners of the world.
Ah thank you ric that was a treat waking up in the UK Sunday morning to see this I am a big fan of you and Franco massive inspiration I hope you film with him more you two look like you get on really well legends thanks a lot
I used to watch Ric all the time. Lots of people i grew up with loving are leaving. I cant help but rewatch all the good stuff. The only stuff that matters.
Great pod cast. Would be great have interview with F Columbu in detail about how and whats his training with Sylvester Stallone was. Sylvest Stallone did a awsome tranformation after training with F Columbu a few months
I'm glad there's FINALLY a vid of someone using the Olympia tape. .and who better than Franco using it on Ric. . so awesome. He's been pushing that tape for quite a few months now. See it on the IG account alot. I still have to make it out to this office. . I called once years ago and asked when he's there, at the time front desk lady said he was there on selected days only. Might still be true, no idea. This tape looks rather tricky to do on your own on certain areas of the back. May deff need a 2nd pair of hands (and know how) to apply it.
I remember when he did a seminar at my gym in the early 80's in NJ and all he did was adjust and fix people and make them pain-free. I asked a training question and he looked like he wanted to kill me. Pretty funny looking back.
Great video sir. Thank you for thinking of your fellow iron slingers who have aches, pains, scars, and setbacks. Quality content such as this makes an athlete realize that there are ways to continue to improve without pain killers or ignoring certain areas of your body.
Ric.... I purchased a good quality massage chair last year, and the results are stunning wonderful. At the age of 60, I am always kind of tight, and a 2 times a month massage from a masseuse ain't anywhere near enough to keep my back comfortably loose. Just a suggestion that I took from someone else, and the dividends this massage chair gives me are truly wonderful.
Awesome Ric! I always wondered what it would be like to visit Dr. Franco Columbu's Chiropractic office and it's a little hard to get there from Wisconsin.
I come from your normal sports background of HS football and wrestling and weight lifting an so on. I was then involved in amateur and professional boxing for 9 years. I still say that Pro Wrestling is the hardest on the body of all sports....probably even more than pro football. I don't know Ric at all, but my guess is the majority of his injuries came from the ring,.....not the weight lifting gym.
Rip Franco.. I still remember how I used to bodybuild with u in Austria.. And how we fought to win shows till I became 7x Mr. Olympia.. Regards Not Arnold
France was a true master of the body, & a professional. You should try Shiatsu someday from a bonified master. It balances your energy & hits the pressure points as well. I did it once, & it was great. Too expensive for me to keep up with the treatments.
I just had a cortisone steroid injection in my right shoulder, I have a small tear in the suprspinatus tendon. I would love to know what Franco thinks of these injections? I was taped once, but removed it after 2 days as it irritated my skin
For anyone who wants to say Franco wasn't a 'real' chiropractor, he is. Simple look up using Board of Chiropractic Examiners. He was licensed. R.I.P Franco.
Considering there is a history of atrial fib, have you had an ultra sound to rule out DVT? You look great Ric! 73 ....Its cool to see people in their 70s functional and making an impact.
You have a herniated disc in your neck this is not a muscle problem, the muscles are tight because there is instability in the spine so that's why the muscles are tight. Chiropractors will always try to tell you you don't have a herniated disc and it's a muscle problem. If you have numbness in the fingersThe most common cause is a herniated disc.
That's right, Franco had a bit part in the original Terminator movie where he mows down Men, Women and Children with that Machine Gun Laser weapon, or whatever that thing was called lol.
I know it's wrong to say but a 73 year old dude banging on about his girlfriend like a 14 year old just doesn't seem right... Men of his vintage have partners...
I wish they were both still alive. Maybe they are alive in Heaven if they believed on the LORD, JESUS CHRIST. I was a regular viewer of Ric’s Corner 2017-2020.
Rest in peace Franco Columbu and Ric Drasin.
I'm so glad to see these good friends took the opportunities to get back together in later years.

Great pod cast. Would be great have interview with F Columbu in detail about how and whats his training with Sylvester Stallone was. Sylvest Stallone did a awsome tranformation after training with F Columbu a few months
The picture of Franco deadlifting with the dog sitting there watching is priceless

Great video - bring Franco back again!
Very informative. Franco still knows his business as it seems. Thanks for sharing.
2 of the greats
EPIC!

I LOVE THIS SHOW

Excellent! We will miss Franco!
Amazing...I would be honoured if Franco worked on me!
Great vid Ric!! I can listen to you and Franco all day long! Tell Franco to whisper in Arnolds ear to come on ur show!!
thevozz2031 Would be nice, but sure Arnold is still recovering and will have to wait and see how he will be now...???
A real Gentleman indeed, the both of them actually.
I wish that tape could help my ligament that snapped off my foot :).
Great video Ric, I always learn something new by watching them, keep up the great work
Fun watch
Learned something again Rick, loved this video Franco is a very helpful nice Legend. Take care !!!
This makes me want to watch Pumping Iron
The_Horse361 Show Me too.. I’m trying to find a way to convince my girlfriend to watch.. maybe, cumming night & day will do it? ;)

Franco was the man in his day, very strong .
Awesome Ric! I always wondered what it would be like to visit Dr. Franco Columbu's Chiropractic office and it's a little hard to get there from Wisconsin.

Franco seem to be very knowledgeable with that tape.
He's still the man
Ric, did you notice improvement after using the tape?

Veys interesting treatment

For some reason, Franco and Arnold have begun to look alike at their age now.
RIP Franco
R.I.P Franco!

Face pulls and trap raises.
Tell Freeking Arnold to get on your show! Wtf the guy can’t give you an hour?
Omg omg omg omg omg omg !!!!!!
Yes yes yes yes yes
iDROPPED 100 BUCKS ON THE TAPE RIC..
I really wanted to see Franco give you and adjustment Ric. 😟
Considering there is a history of atrial fib, have you had an ultra sound to rule out DVT? You look great Ric! 73 ....Its cool to see people in their 70s functional and making an impact.
so maybe someone can tell me why they are spelling it with a u now and not an o ?
Toga! Toga! Toga!

Franco Columbu became a Doctor?
Franco is a terminator that's why he doesn't age.
That's right, Franco had a bit part in the original Terminator movie where he mows down Men, Women and Children with that Machine Gun Laser weapon, or whatever that thing was called lol.
Bring back Artemus Dolgin
I know it's wrong to say but a 73 year old dude banging on about his girlfriend like a 14 year old just doesn't seem right...
Men of his vintage have partners...
Ric, please use subtitles when interviewing Franco!
What part don't you understand?
Beaker wenna yu twain you a gonna geta sore.
Rex Truegood Lets be thankful Rics glutes weren’t sore. I couldn’t bare to watch Franco tape it and slap it.
Hit the CC , this video is close captioned for the deaf or the slow .
Joe Szabo oh I apparently offended Franco’s gay lover.
you forgot to tape the mouth?
Franco must make bank. $200 for $15 muscle tape. I guess you're paying for his expertise
Its $20
ric drasin apologies. I was mistaken. In that case, that's a good deal!
I wish they were both still alive. Maybe they are alive in Heaven if they believed on the LORD, JESUS CHRIST. I was a regular viewer of Ric’s Corner 2017-2020.
lmfao brain pills!!!!!!
Tape! What complete bullshit!
