About this listen

Dr. Franco Columbu, internationally known bodybuilding champion, has written a book that provides a commonsense approach to training with weights - whether for competition or just to get into shape. Columbu is a two-time Mr. Olympia winner who first wrote this book in 1977, when it sold 500,000 copies. Creators Publishing has brought it back with the paperback, ebook, and audiobook.

In the audiobook, recorded with Rick Newcombe, cofounder of Creators Publishing, Franco answers many questions to update his training advice and tells stories about what life was like during the Golden Age of bodybuilding. The audiobook contains priceless stories about the young Franco and his best friend, Arnold Schwarzenegger, when they first arrived in America from Europe. The audiobook is loaded with useful information for getting in shape, and it is very inspiring for training!

Entertaining audiobook

I'm glad that I didn't judge this audiobook by its cover. This audiobook is anybody who is interested in either getting started in strength traiming or improving their current program.

Franco Columbu provides educated, entertaining and insightful commentary to accompany the teachings from his 1977 book 'Winning Bodybuilding'.
As well as being two-time Mr. Olympia, Franco has completed extensive studies in nutrition amd chiropractic, which shows when he discusses anatomy and physiology.

Some audiobooks can only be consumed small bits at a time, but I powered through this one during a couple of three-hour car trips.

More than Mr. Olympia

Forget the new age gurus of personal training.
This is where you hear how it was really done without the gimmicks.
Plenty of fun stories from Franco along the way and proof that there was far more to these guys than the public perception.
