Official synopsis Publisher
“Of all the men who ever hefted tons of weight daily for years, just for the opportunity to pose on a stage for two minutes, Franco Columbu is one of the best developed–and easily the strongest. Coming on Strong examines Columbu’s private world, as well as that of his sport, and treats both with insight, intelligence and humor.” – from back cover
