Sorry for the delay on this one. KZfaq demonetized my channel and I spent pretty much all of last week getting it back (bevause they refused to go through my videos manually; they just made AI do it). BUT now we're finally back and monetized so I can take time to make these videos while still doing my coaching❤️ thank you for supporting me, always

@@littlelebowski7714 I think his compact build and center of gravity actually helped him in some strength feats, like how many Olympic lifters winning in lower weight classes are Chinese ( many of em are short, and sometimes a more compact build is good for the lift ) Smaller size can be a good thing! ( pause? ) like how Mike Tyson would slip and duck giants in the heavy weight division just to knock em out despite the height difference

In the 1976 Olympia, yeah, he deserved it. 1981, though, it was a joke. Franco got a gift with undersized legs, gyno, and a so-so overall look. Even the networks knew the fix was in after the travesty in 1980...I don't know if they ever showed the O on TV again.
