Two-time Mr. Olympia, strongman, and actor Franco Columbo has died at age 78. Always remember him running with that refrigerator on his back and snapping his leg in two in some strong man competition.

Arnold's best friend. Franco was super strong, and lack of height was the only thing that kept him from winning more in bodybuilding. 78 is a long life for somebody who took that much D-bol.

Back in this era body builders were many times all around strength athletes, here's the late Columbo in an early World's Strongest man competition.....ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFq0m8XoLd0

PS, as for him dying at an extremely old age for a PED user, it might be because these men didn't do the regiments the modern body builders do with Insulin, HGH, painkillers and steroids. As of a few years ago Bill Pearl was still alive and he's probably the first steroid using bodybuilder and he was in his late 80's or early 90's.

Did you guys see this? It is frickin amazing.

Yes like always in the Worlds Strongest Men, the European Men from around the world can't be beat.

Can you hear the announcers.......

White Power. Yeah we would never hear that unless it had black in front of it. All the media is told what to
say and what not to say. Awesome Video!

I like to watch the old Strongman syndicated episodes since they're not really timeline-dependent; you can tune into a competition from any year and still enjoy the feats of strength.

There's a free ad-supported sports channel called 'Whistle TV' that is available on many smart TVs (Samsung, Vizio, the Roku app, and others). They play a lot of Strongman Champions League throughout the day. You can also find it streaming via web browser at this link, although the website doesn't show a full broadcast schedule. There is an episode on right now though (8-10pm EST).

Awesome!!

Can someone rationally explain to me why White men are being eliminated from offensive or defensive tackle? Clearly they just cannot compete with long armed blacks….

Exactly! Once again CF is the only ones calling the madness out.

"Nah blacks are totally stronger even though evidence and weightlifting and NFL combine bench press says otherwise, but that's because there totally focused on basketball and NFL, so they'd totally dominate strongman if they started joining"

Tom Stoltman won the contest for the third time in 4 years.

I could be wrong but it looks like all of the top ten athletes are white. Amazing how it doesn’t translate into American football though….

Apparently it's because only whites compete in this which is a bunch of bull

It's because of those damn T-Rex arms.
Yep. These crackas might be strong but they have short arms, lack "length", have stiff hips, small hands, slow 40's, and have "boring feet".

I don’t know how much money is in strongman sports or lifting in general but whites are obviously great at it.

Strongman is interesting because it’s not just sheer one time Olympic lift strength. It’s all kinds of wonky balance and speed with brute strength combos.

If only whitey were more athletic…

you also need explosiveness in order to lift those weights, same with weightlifting
blacks will hype up explosiveness when it comes to sprinting, but wont have the same attitude when you ask them why they dont dominate weightlifting

This sums up the caste system. The nfl focuses on a lineman’s 40 time but not his bench! Nothing is more important for a lineman than strength yet it’s brushed aside for a completely irrelevant test. There’s a reason why combat and olympic lifting have weight classes yet those long armed sumos have more upside!

Even though the Watt brothers have two of the largest mitts in all of combine history…

I loathe our anti-white society.
