Sorry for the delay on this one. UA-cam 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
@@raminrouchi202it doesn't work like that when you're as strong as Franco pound for pound. The amount of mass he packed onto his body, all while staying lean is hard for a short guy. The taller you are, the more room for more lean mass, and as we all know the fibers responsible for producing high amounts of force are fast twitch muscle fibers, if you're taller, you have more room for these muscle fibers to grow, and possibly more to fill.
@@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
@@PowerEd8 he had better laverage and probably multiple highly favourable strength related genetic quirks in nervous System and muscle tissue a freak of nature.
Yeah man, UA-cam demonetized the channel, so views obviously dropped a ton after too :( it's sad, but I'm glad I have supporters like you and I'll keep posting either way
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.
He has lift 300kg >> deadlift, WITHOUT BELT !!!. INSANEEEEE. The potential breakage of spinal injury happens over 200kg, and imagine, lifting 100kg more than the potential, and that too without a belt.That is crazy to some next level.

I love you're channel so much and these videos are so interesting I also think it's interesting how mych you sound like Ohara the one piece content creator please correct me if I'm wrong:)
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.

Yeah he also cheated tom platz for the 1981 olympia 😂, he only won the olympia title twice because of arnolds influence......arnold won the title 5 time fair and 1 time cheated......but this dude straight up cheated twice 😂
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 !"

What the heck was the reasoning to get you demonetized? Too dank memeing?
@@viktorbodnar7738 something like using other peoples footage to bully them lol
Franco:
"They said it's broken, but I know it's not broken."
The leg:
Z
Lool, it was dislocated, so I guess it wasn't broken technically
@@TheOutlierToday as funny as this is, Franco had a solid grasp of anatomy so he was not speaking out of his ass,
The universe had to make Franco short, otherwise he would have been too powerful 😅
5'5 is not that short. In Asia that is good height. Many peoples shorter than that
Alot of it has to do with limb length. Pressing and squatting you don't have very far to go....deads too

@@SebastianEpicurus I meant limb length proportional to size.
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.
Man blew up a damn hot water bag
Seeing a guy same height as you outlift someone like Arnold who towered over Colombu is pretty darn cool

Franco was ridiculously strong for any size and time period. He was an incredible athlete who had an incredible life. RIP Mr. Franco!
"I'll end you schnitzel man" killed me lol
Blowing up the hot water bottle might be the most impressive feat of strength I've ever seen
I'm awestruck
Franco will always be an inspiration for men of all sizes. His dedication speaks volumes.
Sad to see how much the views have fallen off. This video was really entertaining! Keep it up
Yeah man, UA-cam demonetized the channel, so views obviously dropped a ton after too :( it's sad, but I'm glad I have supporters like you and I'll keep posting either way
Pound for pound, easily the strongest bodybuilder of all time! 💪🏽
Thanks for this video on Franco. Massive respect to Franco, absolute beast! RIP Franco.
Franco is such great motivation. He had the physique, the strength, and could throw hands. That combination of ability is the true goal!
Damn right he was beast..easily one of my fav bodybuilders dudes the original short king. RIP legend
I always have a sour taste in my mouth when the '80 and '81 Olympias get mentioned..
Imagine being Mike Mentzer at that time... Rest in peace "Intense Mike"
Yeah, it would be nice if Arnold wasn't a liar and a cheater as bodybuilder, actor, politician, and husband.
@@mcfarvoyeah, he could have smoked crack and died at 51. How dare he be successful and have a legacy beyond shitty tiktok phonk edit ?
Oh get over it already 😂
The first book I ever got on bodybuilding back in ‘76 was by Franco! He was the man!
Was it Coming on Strong? I loved that book.
@@ThouSwell-zx3fd Yep!
An Austrian and an Italian enter a bodybuilding competition…
A true positive role model for short guys. To all my fellow short guys, keep hustling and getting those gainz. We were born survivalists.
The power of the mind is to never be overlooked and underestimated.
Strongest golden age bodybuilder Fosho
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.
Franco Columbu is my Hero
He was King's Arnold the one and only true love.
RIP, Franco ❤

That Stuttgart was very smooth tho
He might just be one of the most well-rounded athletes ever, especially at this size and weight.
one of my idols
Legend forever
Franco Colombo 😇
Arnold's Bestfriend 🗿
4:13 L spotter
Fr, wtf is that
That Stuttgart was on point
I'm pretty sure that he's a native speaker.
When I learned that he appeared in Terminator as a terminator (only for about 20 seconds in a flashback) I rewatched the scene and it blew my mind 😎 🤯
4:14 looks like 405
This guy has been a strongman comp lotta time. Need to say more?
5:22 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All the bodybuilders would over-inflate their lifts back in the day.
Ray Menzter claimed he squatted 900lbs for two reps.....
The hunter x hunter ending song is epic
Imagine screwing up your knee and still placing 5th with a 100lb disadvantage.
The amount of strong bodybuilders, who do not participate in Olympics makes me sad.
Steroids are banned in the Olympics
@@patricktalbot8980every Olympic athlete is on steroids don’t be ignorant
The amout of jacked Olympic athletes who do not compete in bodybuilding makes me sad too
Ive been begging for the outro song 2 months now 😢
@@iccna hunting for your dream🤝🤝
2:48 😂I'm pretty sure, Arnold as a young man did in fact secretly dream about world domination, although in a more benevolent way, hopefully.
Are you german ? Your Stuttgart sounded too good
His channel description says norway, so germanic
"Hetro-life partner" - Jay and Silent Bob. Best description of Arnold and Franco.
Okay that censor screen was absolutely hilarious
What a story it must be for the people back in the day that had there new roof put on by Arnold and Franco

Franco had a heart attack while walking on the beach in Sicily. Per Arnold
Off topic to some degree, but was the press “Serge Reading” now there is a story.

3:01 That gyno is ridiculous.
Wtf you should be having more views for this video .

Arnold❤
i wanted to make a sus joke but nah i will spare you this time.
lmao the italian fitness community is carried by sardinians
His future husband 💀😂
The Musolini to his...Austrian painter. That's the joke, people
There will only b 1 franco
❤
Yeah he also cheated tom platz for the 1981 olympia 😂, he only won the olympia title twice because of arnolds influence......arnold won the title 5 time fair and 1 time cheated......but this dude straight up cheated twice 😂
Being a short guy this is inspiring, until i realise him and Arnold still claimed they only used steroids for "recovery"
And cheated in the 80 and 81 olympia
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 !"
Good I am early
The second worst after Arnold.
Man do I want to get worse
