Franco Columbu deadlift

[PIGEON-RAT]

Does anyone know where I can find that black and white picture of Franco deadlifting 6 plates and some change?

The picture of him actually in the lift, before he gets to this stage:

someone had it as their avatron lately, so someone's gotta know

 

[The Red Dragon]

Holy fucking shit, that's insane

 

[Tiervexx]

supprised you have not already seen that pic.

 

[PIGEON-RAT]

i can easily find this picture, but i haven't been able to find the one in the middle of the lift. he looks too calm in this one, just holding it. the other one has some intensity.

That guy was a hell of an athlete. He only weighed around 180 when he competed and won Mr. Olympia. He looked much bigger, but is only 5'5" tall. He was also a boxing champion in Italy. I read that he deadlifted 800lbs.

franco had the best back in bodybuilding...i mean, his lats came down to his fucking waist.

my favorite pic of franco is him doing his most muscular pose...he looks like a fucking statue.

What's most impressive is no wrist wraps.

I'm surprised at how few pics of him google picks up.

 

[MAX 300]

That pic is awesome, I wonder how many reps he would do at that weight.

 

[KillahBee]

I had it as my avater for the past month or so. When I get home tonight I will get it for you.

 

[PIGEON-RAT]

if those little plates are tens then it is 695.

He set a world record in his weight class with 730 or something didn't he?

 

[PIGEON-RAT]

killahbee, do you have that in full size?

 

[b fold the truth]

I was thinking that they were 5's..10's would be thicker.

I think that he did pull 730...or something around that.

Franco is my all time favorite.

Paulos is my all time fave.

 

[Taps]

lol he looks all "675, ho-hum..." in that pic

I look more strained that than when I tie my shoes for gods sake.

 

[c3bodybuilding]

This is why I don't get why people are so impressed with Ronnie deadlifting 805 for 2 reps. The man is on a shit load of drugs and is 300 plus lbs when he does it. Franco on the other hand was probably taking nowhere near the kind of shit Coleman does, and only 180lbs! And he is pulling 600 and 700lb deads like they are nothing, no straps either. Unreal.

 

[TheOak84]

franco iS GOD.

I ALWAYS thought the big plateS WERE 70's, becaUse i had the exact oneS like that in hS. AND THE OTHER ONE WAS a 45, and the lil oneS WERE 10's.

did anyone elSE THINK THIS?
