    I saw it on the news website yesterday or Saturday I think.
    I like it in Pumping Iron when Franco's benching about 140kg like it's nothing and stops mid set with it resting on his chest. Arnold says "come on Franco you lazy bastard" and he just pushes it off and does some more reps before racking the bar, or when he lifts the car out of the parking spot when back at home in Sardinia. A very strong man and an old time bodybuilding legend (I hate the term unless it's genuine) RIP.

    He was a very strong little guy.....sure a bit of juice helped along the way
