Franco Columbu
We lost one of the greats today. Franco Columbu, two time Mr. Olympia. One of the strongest bodybuilders ever. RIP, Mr. Columbu.

When I saw his name as the thread title, my first thought was "well, crap." Back in the 70s and 80s when I followed bodybuilding, this was one of the guys I kept an eye on. Sorry to hear he's passed.

One of my favorites at the time. Along with Frank Zane.

Steve Reeves from those Italian Hercules movies, I think is still alive, another great one. Saw him at my gym, nothing like he used to be, as none of us are.

Columbu and Schwarzenneger, imo, embodied size and aesthetics in a way that Ferrigno didn't, bridging the Zane era.
