You see how his smile faded? I believe that's when he realised there's a chance for Franco to beat him. I could hear him think "I need to keep down there".
Arnold and franco got me started working out when I was 19 yrs old. I ordered their book series from both of them and follow it in my basement. Gained good strength and mass, competed at the state level and still workout today. A lot different but still pumping at almost 60!. Thank you Arnold and Franco. Was sad when I heard of his death
I identify, at 59 + I remember when I bought Pumping Iron the book. I gravitated to Franco. Being of similar stature and height. He and Arnold, extraordinary men.
@@vineet3751 exactly Franco is my idol he did exactly what I am going to do. If Franco can I can with that physique. Rip an absolute legend this hurts so much rich piana and Kobe too😭. Champion boxer, bodybuilding champion worlds strongest man actor he did all that with that physique and I can too and UFC and wrestling. Inspire the world and next generation of champions and honour their memory. This makes me cry so much losing Franco hurts so much you can’t even imagine same as rich and Kobe. It doesn’t even feel real man. Hopefully Arnold doesn’t go until I get to that point and I can go at this passing what he did to Franco’s rip.❤️😭
Uma grande perca para Todos nós!! Caras como O Franco não morrem, são eternizados em nossas mentes! Franco descanse em paz guerreiro! Que Deus o tenha!
Que triste que perda terrivel para Arnold Schwarzenegger ele e franco pareciao irmaod ultimo video que vi do dois estavao pedalando e treinando para matar saudade dos bons e velhos tempos
Nature Lover: Actually, Arnold definitely did not have a narrow waist, which is why he always turned to his side or any other possible angle where it was least visible during posing or photo sessions.
thanks for making this video. Franco was my idle, he was the one that made me want to powerlift and do bodybuilding. I am now 63 yrs old and have been working out since age 16. As a 5'7" person, Franco showed me how to compete against the "big guys". God Bless you Franco, you were a wonderful person. Hope to see you in Heaven some day.
Franco, you are a TRUE LEGEND.....a true hero.....a true bodybuilder in the history of bodybuilding.....I admire bodybuilders like you, Sergio Oliva, Lou Ferrigno, Frank Zane a lot. You are a very true Friend not only of Arnold but mine also (I myself feel and believe ).....
Well done Doctor Franco Columbu. I screenshotted a photo of you when I went to Mainland High School. You were everything I wanted to become. In the name of Jesus you’ve brought tears of happiness to my eyelids releasing endorphin’s. I can thank you forever and more. A+
Tutti e due grandissimi ! Mi ricordo sempre un immagine di Franco Columbo ,nel puzzle di foto di grandi atleti dello sport che compose il mio allenatore su una parete della palestra dove mi allenavo ,dove mostrava i dorsali .Impressionante!! Rip grandissimo!!!
RIP to a legend... people usually think of Arnold when they think of BB, but Franco was definitely one of the best to do it and a hands down all around athlete and health professional. Shouldve won way more BB titles but probably wasnt his main goal, very well proportioned BB and true ambassador of the sport and physical health!
He was already a seasoned boxer .cool calm collected.when he got to America .Franco saw Arnold lose his first contest and didn't let him forget about it .with some quick Jabs .testing his spirit and flesh .Franco picked up A name The Giant killer due to his competative nature from European boxing .and winning body building competitions
A true legend! You guys ruled the world stage and will continue to do so. No one can replace this generation of body builders. No Simeon Panda or Ullises

That makes u a legend too
The best upper/lower pec separation ever. RIP legend
It was great, but Markus ruhl had way better seperation.
Outstanding chest . .... RIP 😔
Best chest and lats
You got that right. Probably his trademark...
He had crickets as a child and the deformation of the bones caused the muscles to attach like that in his chest.
‘Franco was THE Giant Slayer’.
-Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He was 👏🏼
Too bad he only rerember just because he was arnold bestfriend

Franco Columbu will always be remembered, his posing, his powerful back and chest. RIP, Great Champion!
Just look at the beautiful tiny waist and abs of these true legend bodybuilders as compared to today's bulgy and bulky abs bodybuilders....
Nature Lover: Actually, Arnold definitely did not have a narrow waist, which is why he always turned to his side or any other possible angle where it was least visible during posing or photo sessions.
Right Uppercut he built that huge chest to create the illusion of the small waist and he always did the vaccum.
