    It is amazing how these two complimented each other on stage. They may have had completely different builds, but the energy and life they brought was unparalleled! R.I.P. Franco, one of the absolute best!

    Arnold lost some size and definition in quads compared to 74, but it was obviously enough to win anyway.

      Yes, Arnold had defintely lost some size and density compared to 74.. But It didn't really matter what kind of condition Arnold was in on the day of the show.. Weider was never gonna let his boy lose, and that's a fact.. Just like Arnold didn't deserve to win the 80 Olympia

    • @QueensNativeNYC
      @QueensNativeNYC 3 года назад

      They'd never let Franco beat Arnold regardless of how awesome his condition was because he looks like he's standing in a hole.. How ridiculous would the pumping Iron documentary have been if Arnold lost to a guy who is barely 5 feet tall.

      @@QueensNativeNYC Franco was never going to beat Arnold because he was never good enough to beat Arnold even in 1975 where Arnold was not at his absolute peak like 1973 and 1974. Franco himself knew it and said it.

    Franco was so humble the way he hugged Arnold after he won, Yet Arnold didn't attend his funeral, I think he had his reasons so I or we can't judge him. It's how you feel about a person inside is what matters...

    Franco didn't have the height that they looked for. It's just like sports, entertainment wrestling, or life in general. Tall is better than short. Arnold would have lost a time or two to Franco if he was same height or taller.

      Platz was not even lifting in 1975, actually he was but it was not serious... Arnold had great legs from 1971 to 1974 but just did not have enough time to put all the mass in the legs specially im 1975 cause he slimmed to 210 pounds for Stay Hungry amd tha was just after his 1974 Olympia where he was at his best. Franco on the other hand never had great quads

    Hey this is unrelated to the video, but I was hoping you might be able to answer: did Vince Gironda have any routines he prescribed for improving shoulder mobility? So many of the exercises he had people do put shoulders in compromising positions, which makes me think maybe he had some super effective way to warm up/mobilize the shoulder joint. Thanks!

      This was a pose down with limited time. The prejudging was held for long compulsories and the posing routine was considered as art form. That’s why Arnold and Franco took ballet. Something that bodybuilding should get back. Guys today are too big and have very little functional muscle. Arnold was an athlete. He could still sprint and play basketball. France was also an athlete and had incredible strength for a 200 lb guy.
