Musclemania® Mid America Donte Franklin looking insane. It looks like the 6′, 210 lbs., 23 year old car salesman is going to rock the stage this fall. Donte started training when he was 13 years old. “I always had this thing about wanting to look like a muscleman,” Donte says. I started training at home in the garage. I’d lift anything I could find or make. It’s always been my passion.” Donte will guest pose at MM Mid America in October and compete at MM America in Las Vegas.
Musclemania™ Mid America HW Champ Donte Franklin was crazy looking at MM America in Las Vegas. Last season was the 6′, 205 lbs., 22 year old car dealership salesman’s first year on stage. “I have always liked training,” Donte says. “But, I never even thought about getting stage. I just liked lifting all the time, since I was 13.” Donte barely lost the Junior Class to another show sleeper, Kwame Jack-Duah from Australia. Donte says he will compete this spring in a couple warm up shows and then to MM Universe in June.
’13 Musclemania Mid America HW Champion Donte Franklin is one bad dude. The 6′, 215 lbs., 22 year old Kansas City native was a favorite to win the ’13 MM America Junior America but was beat out by a better conditioned and more symmetrical Kwame Jack-Duah. But, according to Donte, that’s history. “Weaknesses are first on my list!,” he says. “I’m not losing again to someone who’s average. I will have a complete physique. I wanna have everything – nothing missing. So you bet I’m working weaknessess!” Donte hasn’t decided which shows, yet, but no doubt he will be something new different the next time he competes.
