16th and above are all "ties". Either way huge congrats to Frank, I feel the accomplishment from almost death to the Mr. O stage speaks enough of the quality of person he is.
Last year House, this year Wrath, next year OX. Nothing to take away from House and Wrath, but Ox wins next year. Calling it now.

Agreed. Just being able to still do this is a bigger victory than winning the title. Congratulations to you Frank.

The best way to look at it is like this, how many guys took 16th at the O this year? 1. And it was Frank. Nobody else did, just him. And with a few more (healthy) years under his belt and if he brings his legs up to match his upper body, he'll be cracking the top 10 if not the top 5 in no time. Congrats to Frank for his showing.
16th is for all the people who entered the contest but didn't place. But you're right, he has years to go as long as everything goes well, and I'm pretty proud of him.

Rage Review
I’ve been a long time user of Animal products for 20 plus years. After being on RAGE for a week I’ve come to realize that “It’s not how big you are, it’s how far you’ll push yourself to the breaking point to get that last rep”… With Rage there are no more excuses.
I seen the thread when i got off the road today, even though he got 16th, He only goes up from here, every shot on that stage just gives him more experience. Frank is still the man.

Stepping up on that stage is a victory in and of itself, period.
And unless I'm mistaken, there aren't any other competitors who are coming back from a near-fatal car wreck a few years ago, which is beyond impressive and inspiring to say the least.
Proud of ya Frank, nowhere to go but up brother!

Sure, OK...
I think winning would have been alright by Frank too in addition to the comeback, lol.
That said, it is a great accomplishment, coming back like that and competing.

Frank is nothing but a CLASS ACT! I was in the cage saturday and after he did his seminar u could tell
he wasnt feeling to hot and he still took the time out to sign a poster for me and signed a bunch of stuff and talked
to many others as well !
He has an amazing story and it was awesome that he has come back like this and is on his road to
even greater things ahead!!!
CONGRATS FRANK!!!
Live, Play, and Work hard each and every moment cuz you never know if its your last day!!!
