Franco Columbu

And you have people looking at Casey Viator and saying, "Well, I want to, I want to copy that," including Arnold.

So Randy Roach, in his book Muscle, Smoke and Mirrors, talks about a two-week experiment that Franco Columbu, who's Arnold's, uh, friend and a Mr. Olympia in his own right, and Arnold trained with Arthur Jones-

Hmm

... because they wanted to see if this would be effective.

...

there.

It's a Franco Columbu book.

It's, I think it's called Nutrition for Bodybuilders or Bodybuilders Nutrition.

I, I wanna ask you about this, Sat, because, uh, a good example would be Kai Greene, and perhaps an older example from a few years ago.

I'm reminded of a cover of a magazine with Franco Columbu, and both these guys have got this lat insertion which I think you have, where when they did a front lat spread, there was no daylight coming in from the arms.

You literally had lats that fucking wide and that low.

I think Kai Greene's almost look like they're, they're attached to his hip bone.

I compare it to where we're going to the hospitality of a Ritz Carlton where you show up and you get like a little margarita and on the beach in Hawaii and everyone knows your name and he's got all this hospitality and they're introducing you to people.

And then the ruthless accountability and just sweat and steel of like a 1970s Gold's Gym with Schwarzenegger and Franco Colombo and all of them working out and hold each other accountable.

Yeah.

So, I mean, we, we've kind of lost our roots of that a little bit as we've gone through.

So I'm reading Muscle Media Magazine.

And I see this guy, he's a chiropractor, Franco Colombo, bodybuilder.

He's in the gym with these guys and he's teaching them about diet, nutrition, posture.

And he's in a gym setting.

He tries to make sure that he has an edge over his opponents by...

So even in his friends, so his friends, for example, with Franco Colombo, and he says on camera, on the documentary that made bodybuilding famous, Pumping Iron, he says, oh yeah, Franco comes to me for advice and I give him false advice, ha ha ha.

And later he said, oh, that was just a joke.

But the fact that he thought this is funny, and we know this was not a joke, this is how he was.

Okay.

I mean, he worked with Franco Columbu again, and he was e- he was really powerful.

And don't forget, this was fueled by the divorce.

I mean, when you're in divorce-

I, I mean, I did conventional for so long cause I wanted a huge back.

I wanted a Franco Colombo back.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I sent you a meme, I use it all the time with my patients, that w- w- that weightlifting meme.

That's Franco Columbu spotting for Arnold Schwarzenegger, 325 on the bench.

Mm.

I don't know if you can bench that much.
