Arnold, Sly and Franco Columbu.

Franco trained Sly for Rambo: First blood part 2.

“In the film when Sly shows his stomach muscles, the producer came to me one day…well I trained Sly for Rocky II so they know me anyway and we all get together here and there. So one day they come to me and ask me if I can make Sly look like this in seven weeks and they show me some pictures. And I said why seven weeks? And they said because we start production in seven weeks. And I look at the pictures they brought me of another body builder and I said, you know this guy competes and I don’t know if Sly can get this much abdominal work done, I said what happens if it’s not this good? And they said very simple he says we get someone else. Sly gets fired. And I said to myself you know producers are so brutal. So Sly calls me an hour later and says Franco, we need to talk. I have to get in shape, we only have seven weeks time how are we gonna do it. And I said it’s very simple. At that time was a time where drugs, steroids and growth hormones were coming in, especially in the 80’s. Because before when Arnold and I trained there really wasn’t any of that, we were training. I was worried that I would not have complete control over Sly’s training because Sly loves to be the boss and loves everything to be his way. And I know him very well so I told him that if we train it’s gonna be my way. And what I did was I said Sly I can get you in shape like this but we need to have an agreement. A one page contract which is gonna cost you so much so I can stop the other things I was working on and get him in shape. And he agreed and in the contract was a line saying you cannot take anything without my approval. That includes steroids, vitamins and minerals and he looked at that and he said what? And I told him because if you take steroids you get pumped up but you don’t get defined and the producers won’t be happy. This is all true I still have the contract. I said I know what to do trust me. I trained him so brutal he got in shape in seven weeks. At the end he says to me, I don’t think I’m gonna do this again. And I said that’s fine but you’ll never be in this great of shape again, you know. When making a movie the production comes first, the actors come second and they are not going to hold the production up for you to get in shape.”

That must be a proud moment. When your fat arm is mistaken for the entire body of another person.
