Old school trainer. He is lucky he didn’t challenge him to a parallel car parking contest.

[Boo]

Fun fact, Franco was actually a boxer as well before his bodybuilding/strongman days.

[Adonisius_Kavata]

What everyone forgets is the Franco Colombu was also a legitimate strongman and powerlifter as well as a bodybuilder. Sly didnt stand a chance 😂

[mrsim]

Tore his pec and still looks that good, insane
Edit: Guys relax in the replies

"Steroids are a helluva drug" Sly Stallone 😂😂😂

[sagarsudhirganu]

There's a reason these are legends

[Diggy]

Stallone got into detail with this story in his workout book. He was training with Franco for Rocky II, and eating a diet of mostly yogurt. Franco also had a one-winged owl in his garage where they trained. So that particular day, Franco challenged Stallone to said bench pressing challenge. Stallone held his own, until he felt that pec pop. Franco’s owl was hooting and flapping his wing as if he were laughing at Sly. As it turns out, that pec injury played to Stallone’s advantage when filming Rocky II; to keep filming up, he switched Rocky’s strategy from fighting orthodox to throw off Apollo to switching from orthodox to southpaw to throw Apollo off again.

Franco was the Larry wheels of his time.... no muscle will stay intact.... Anabolic is one helluva drug.

Franco was built like a unit, the fact that he challenged him is mad respect

Franco was a fellow citizen of mine, he also came from my beloved Sardinian island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
He was born, and sadly passed away in the summer in Sardinia, while swimming in our beautiful sea.
He was a true source of inspiration.

Franco used to blow up those hot water bladders which takes insane chest pressure, pushing on your lungs. Guy was an animal. I think he does it in Pumping Iron but its been so long i cant remember.

[Betterdayz]

He really suffered to make that movie as realistic as he could, that's epic! Rocky will always be an inspirational film when you need something to help you get up when you fall and get back in the race!!!! 💪

[philfrank]

Lesson learned the hard way: don't get into pointless pissing matches over who can lift more. Always leads to injury.

[michaelbergsma]

Sly had a bad habit of challenging people who are champions at their sport. He always got hurt. 😂

[khaledqanbar-ksjn]

Sylvester had a special doctor who used hormone injections, and he took a huge amount of them and benefited from Arnold's experiments, which were a field for experimenting with hormones.

Franco columbo, a true legend and bodybuilding. Quite an amazing athlete.

[Black_Beard]

I love the part where you told us how he got jacked.

[grominwithrob]

Franco was my favorite bodybuilder. Guy was just amazing.

[ryanhansen]

You forgot all the steroids they were taking
