That back is ridiculous.

Sorry to hear about his passing. Arnold posted pics of them together over the years. Pretty cool stuff.

You could use his back for a table. Good lord.

Because sometimes you just can't help yourself.

Not for the sqeamish.

I figured that was the video of Franco carrying the refrigerator on his back in the WSM comp back in the day and blowing his knee out.

5'5 185. Bench 525, Squat 655 and deadlift 750. My all time favorite growing up! If it wasn't for Arnold, Franco would have ran away with titles for years! For his size he was just as big as Arnold but his height killed him. His back was the GOAT

RIP!

"They told me it's broken but I know it's just dislocated. I was behind and I tried to run. It's uncomfortable."

I needed some morphine just watching that.

I'm not sure anyone touches Joel Stubbs. And RIP Franco.
