Hey everyone, thanks so much for watching my video. If you're enjoying it so far, please consider subscribing. Love ya ❤
Super nice man. He and Lou Ferrigno did a demonstration on lifting techniques. I had the honor of personally being coached by him in bench and deadlift after the program was over. They both were unbelievably nice and humble. An amazing human being.
My Favourite bodybuilder of all time! Those are the golden days of bodybuilding with Franco and Arnold.
That’s how the Golden Era got its well deserved name!
A true friendship between him and Arnold
That pic of them sitting next to each other shortly before he died with his head resting on Arnold really touches
We love you Franco. Rest in peace sir
È mancato? Non sapevo! Mi dispiace! Non l'ho conosciuto di persona ma ho capito ch'era una persona dal carattere umile e buono. Dal suo comportamento si percepiva. In opposizione alla sua maestosa forza però era buono. È stato ciò nonostante un grande campione.
A legend.
I bought Franco’s bodybuilding book back in the late 70s! It was the first bodybuilding book I ever got. The second was Arnold’s Encyclopedia of BB. I’ve never needed another!
Me to...the book is titled coming on strong and the cover photo of franco doing a single biceps pose did it for me..back then we had no internet and muscle building books were hard for me to get so i spent hours reading and rereading feancos book
FRANCO COLUMBU ROCKS!
Franco was a beast
Of a man for his body weight
he was the BEST PERIOD
Vero, era il tempo dei sogni, e questi personaggi ti facevano sognare un mondo davvero fantastico. Cominciando dall'attore e culturista Steve Rivens nei suoi spettacolari films.
Вечная память … 🥹🥹🥹💪💪💪
There were some greats in those days. For a short guy, Franco was a damn tank. Arnold had the height and Franco had the strength.
Wrong, Lou Ferigno had the height. Arnold is not tall. Look at him from close up some time. I’m a head taller.
Thank you for this beautiful documentary ❤
Got to meet him at an event in Honolulu in 1980. Very impressive and nice guy
Io so di una gara a cui lui partevipava gremita di fans che riempivano il retropalco del teatro, lui avanzava tra la folla che premeva aprendosi un varco con la sola forza del suo possente passo.
Franco and Arnold 👍💪😊
The Greatest and best friend of Arnold. ❤
Strongest of all time, considering his body weight
I bought that book when I was in high school. My muscle mass improved dramatically after that. I lent it to a friend and never got it back.
Mighty Franco has always been one of my personal heros, i just wish he came with a warning label...you cannot be this strong dont try you will have several hurnias
He could throw some hands 😮
Sure could! I wouldn’t want to catch em’
I used to always checkout his books at the library..
FANTASTICO FRANCO
I never got a chance to meet Franco but, I am sure he was a nice human being. And strong bodybuilder.
Thank you for sharing this awesome video ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
Maybe pound for pound the strongest man who ever lived. Could deadlift 750 pounds at a bodyweight of 188.
Coan did more at the same bodyweight. Could squat more as well. Not sure about the bench but close enough. Ed at 198 would obliterate Franco.
Was coan a bodybuilder or a powerlifter? Franco was both
@@roberteckhardt6653 you wrote...pound for pound the strongest man who ever lived..don't change your definition!
I said maybe
What a slick narrated documentary
Thanks so much!
Un piccolo mostro di super forza umana. Un ercole dei nostri tempi. Anche se di statura più piccolo di Arnold, come fama era alla sua stessa stregua. Nutrivano l'uno per l'altro una grande amicizia e stima. Due grandi campioni di indiscussa celebrità nel mondo del culturismo e del Mister Olimpia.
Franco was the strongest bodybuilder ever, and not only pound for pound.
Great video mate 👌🏻💪🏻🏴🇬🇧
Thank you! Feel free to check out my channel. There’s plenty of bodybuilding content!
RIP FRANCO.
Edward kawak also one of the icons of BB late 1970 early 80's
هدا الرجل هوا اسطورة وقد اثرا في مفهوم كمال الاجسام
that strongman injury where he dislocated his leg, that was very nasty , when i saw that i almost felt that pain:(
WOW
😳😳
I saw a film clip of Franco where he picked up one end of a car,while someone exchanged a wheel. I believe he trained Stallone for the first Rocky movie.
Didnt realize Franco was in Predator. That scene was obviously cut. You can call him the Bat from now on. Franco the bat.
that is how i see bodybuilding, like back in the days. Slim waist no belly. Good proportions, and not freaky
Телосложение пожалуй даже лучше чем у арнольда. Жаль ростом не вышел.
A collectors item wall. Notice how no body builders in those days had "Bubble Guts"
I think they're talking relative to time periods
Franco was an unruly monster pound for pound (behond elite, lengendary and super special),
however Coleman was a psycho and sacrificed his body to push those numbers.
Φρανκο κ αρνολντ❤
💪 UN DEGLI UOMINI PIÙ FORTI DEL MONDO PER CATEGORIA DI PESO🏋️♀️
One of my friends was over 300 pounds and got really fat and finally after his wife and father started winning body building competitions he lost almost 100 pounds in one year then spent another year after that so two years bodybuilding
He took second at a competition and got a job working at a gym as his second job.
He only did one competition because it's expensive to eat all the time.
I can remember when I had bigger arms than he did and I was four inches shorter. Now I have had a stroke and I only train with twenty pound dumbbells and machines up to 300 pounds for my legs and 100 pounds for everything else
Sorry about your stroke, bro. Tough break
The Greatest Booing Contest of All-time, was said and written by Rick Wayne, who was there! People threw their programs on the stage as they were booing! Tom Platz was only repeating what Rick Wayne said first.
Just validated this. Great comment! Pinned.
Franco won. Period.❤
Franco won. Arnold beat Sergio Oliva a few years earlier under very questionable circumstances also.
@@bullymaguire9318 It was a disgrace. Period.
please in english
No, the guy from Canada 700 BP x 2
I guess people forget that he was a Terminator in Terminator and he killed a dog...😮
So in the video at the 2:47 mark his name is spelled Columbo ending with a o which is an Italian name now everywhere his name ends with a u, is this part of the Mandella Effect if you don't know what it is look it up.
It was Columbo for me ... The TV detective was called Columbo, also an Italian . I'm sure they are deliberately playing games with ppl
Please he was the most over rated Mr Olympia who only won because of politics and being Arnolds besty.
Ronnie Coleman was stronger than Franco on every single lift.
Coleman was almost a foot taller and a hundred pounds heavier!
@@Bismarck.1871 Indeed, but that shouldn't disqualify him from being considered as the strongest bodybuilder ever.
Coleman also had better steroids, and is a cripple now. Franco lived until 78 and basically died swimming not crippled.
franco columbo- The biggest cheater to ever steal the 1981 mr olympia title is a more accurate heading.
Good video; however, his 1981 Olympia victory was actually four years after his WSM injury, not just a few months.
At 9:23 Gyno.
Nope, Len Sell
Another error you have is that Franco's 1981 victory in the Mr. Olympia was several years, not months after his injury at the World's Strongest Man.
Drugs don't do the body good!
Era un nano vicino ad Arnold
********* @ 11:05 "apparently" "Arnie" said on a post on Feb 10th 2016 about Franco Columbo's death. According to Google Franco Columbo Died on (30th August 2019!!!) Yep.. I wasn't there so who's wrong?💯🤔😑
According to microsoft search its 30th August 2019 also.. (NOT IMPRESSED!) 🥱🍼🍼🍼🍼👶
dodgy information..😵💫
According to Microsoft web search (30TH August 2019) is ..CORRECT.. also.. (NOT IMPRESSED!)
He stole Mr. Olympia because Arnold fixed it for him..
You have the facts mixed up. Franco moved to the United States in the late 60s not the early 60s. Arnold talked Joe Weider into bringing Franco over to the United States. Arnold and Franco had been training partners in Europe. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video.
Casey viator was stronger
Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion I guess!
He was strong but Ronnie is the strongest bodybuilder of all time
Yeah, but Ronnie was almost 8” taller and 80lbs heavier.
@@Bismarck.1871 no because Ronnie was doing his heaviest lifts only a few weeks from a show when bodybuilders are at their weakest. That's why.
Not mouth power lung power he had very strong lungs!
A bb historian you are not
Franco couldn’t carry Ronnie Coleman’s lunchbox in the gym
Ronny Coleman wouldn’t be able to carry his own lunchbox without steroids.
Don't forget about all the anabolic steroids he took to reach his muscularity !
0h that somehow make him less than you? I think not.
@@user-kk7jq2rp1s health altering drugs for fame is a evil . Sets a bad example ,
Also the tiniest. He’s probably 5 foot tall.
Once Franco went off of the drugs his lifts were no better than that of any natural gym rat. He lost all of his great muscle mass and he lost that uber impressive physique. So an entire generation worshiped Franco even though he was just drugs. I'm NOT impressed.
That goes for all of them Bro.
Nothing but glorified drug addicts 💉

Droids
Yes?
Strongest bodybuilder was Ronnie Coleman
Peace be upon you.
Believe in ALLAH (GOD) and the judgement day and do good deeds.
Don't show non well covered women that will be better for you in this life and the heaerafter.
Ladies cover your bodies that will be better for you in this life and the heaerafter.
Franco was great, a legend even, but far from the strongest bodybuilder ever 🤦 Ronnie was easily stronger, just to mention one.
Though very strong for his size he was certainly not the strongest bodybuilder ever.
Not even close to the strongest bodybuilder ever lol
Larry wheels or ronnie coleman. There this video title is false
Strength sports consider strength on a pound for pound basis. So does this title.
They were lifting the same weight at 100 pounds heavier,so,no,not stronger
