My first bodybuilding book was Franco's Winning Bodybuilding. His approach to bench press 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 resulted in my PR 405 BP. 405 for a long arm BB............. Thank you Franco for 42 years and going strong in the gym and in life.

Arnold seemed genuinely broken up about it.

They were friends for over 40 years and the fact death always checks our own mortality.

I remember when he came to the Gold's Gym in Toronto and when he was training he asked us to turn off the music because he said it sapped 15% of your strength. He was a legend that helped inspire many. RIP Franco.

Sad news for sure. I think he is only the 2nd Mr O that has passed.

I think it was only like a month ago Arnold had IG'd a picture of the two playing chess together as they have for decades.

Hey DLTH, good to see you around again. Where have you been hiding?
