Franco Columbu

Franco Columbu is another one of my favorite "golden era" bodybuilders.  I first saw him in Arnold Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding.  Columbu's strength was awesome--he could deadlift over 700 pounds. 

Columbu managed to win Mr Olympia twice in spite of his height disadvantage (he is only 5 feet 5 inches tall). 


Here's Columbu's official website: http://www.columbu.com

Thanks for posting these short pieces about some of the classic body builders. I enjoyed reading about Serge Nubret at his website, as well as Columbu.
