Im thinking about badmouthing him myself just because his reputation is too good--LOLOLOL

There is a high pain threshold in bodybuilders and then there is "can take an insane amount of pain"=Franco

His knees (from MRI's and specialists opinion) are in laymans terms SHOT. His knee's were killing him the whole time he was training the last few years and I felt for him....because i could see it in his emails that he was gritting his teeth and bearing it. We had to do some weird things just so he was able to train his quads (alot of high rep work) and they were still hurting him like crazy so i give Franco huge respect....because he just put his head down and did his best.

First picture is Franco pre DC--- he competed at 225lbs

Second picture is post DC---at roughly 240lbs a week before he got sick.

Franco wanted to put alot of size on his arms and his back and he sure did that with spades.

Franco's story is somewhat bittersweet/sour to me because I feel he has the potential to do big things in this sport yet his knee's and some health issues with extremely bad timing kept him from fullfilling that potential. Yet in the big picture, Franco has a new wife, a new job, and just bought a new home and still is a big MF with Zoolanderish good looks....LOL.....and that supersedes anything in spades!

Now i have to somehow figure out how to tarnish Franco's gleaming reputation because screw it....noone can be that well liked

1) sent some baby kittens afloat on a raft in the Pacific ocean?

2) Once stole 50 boxes of Mystic Mint cookies from Girl Scouts in front of a grocery store and then sold them for a 400% profit?

3) PMed Massive G at musclemayhem with "I'll burn this MF'ing site to the ground and take you all down with it!!!!" and then posted a "MuscleMayhem appreciation" thread 27 seconds later?

I'll think of something....give me about a week
