he's in a class all by himself, a true artist at his craft, the michael angelo of bodybuilding.
Amen
I agree with you 100%.
One of my bodybuilding mantras would be " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Glad I stumbled on this one Frank is a cool dude.
Frank is a thinking man. Thanks for the interview.
1. The greatest to touch the bodybuilding stage
2. Interviewer does a great job at getting more by simply smiling and not speaking (bravo, great interviewer)
3. This should have waaaaay more views !
I love how the interviewer made Frank so at ease. You could tell at the start he was abit short but then he came right out with his philosophies etc
I could listen to Zane for days :-) He truly is a great man.
Literally just thought the same thing 5 minutes in...Would be a good Joe Rogan guest and talk about anything.
Same. I was going to bed and only clicked the video to mark it for tomorrow and was so interested that I listened to both parts 1 and 2.
It's 3am now, haha.
MY FAVORITE BODYBUILDER EVER! Frank Zane the ZANE MASTER!
One of the best BB interviews and interviewees. Mr. Zane shows great intelligence on scale. Immense respect from one MS grad to another MS grad, you represent higher intellect so accurately Mr. Zane and I truly hope one day I get to meet you. Thank you for your contributions.
"Gone without a trace, hoorray!" and then he laughs. ahahah so wise and awesome.
He really took bodybuilding to a different level. It is important that this wisdom be shared. Thank you
He’s too good for bodybuilding. Since the early 80’s the following generations have little to offer other than ego. Frank isn’t a bullshitter. This isn’t an act, he lives it and his wife is a wonderful person as well.
Yes he’s actually intelligent unlike today’s bodybuilders.
This isn't (wasn't) just a man with an exquisite body but with an exquisite mind. An inspiration for all bodybuilders to model as well as everyone else. I stand in awe.
A very nice, giving modest and serious man. I had the honour of staying at his home for a weekend training seminar many years ago. He was a true inspiration and the most remarkable physique that has never been equalled.
did he have a remarkable phsique as an old man at the time?? because i couldnt find any pictures of him of the past few years (the latest photo of him l saw was when he was 60 or 65)
Richard,
What an amazing experience you had to have spend time with the one the Greatest bodybuilders of all time. My favorite Frank Zane👍
Matthew Januszek is a superb interviewer. Respectful, insightful, and deferential to his subject. Januszek brought out the very best in Frank Zane, Zane's playful, most introspective, and even mystical side. I clicked on these interviews looking for bodybuilding tips and came away with something profound. What a privilege. Thank you.
In 77' I was 17 and all ZANE in my life because of having a similar body type as his. Felt like it was yesterday.
I was not aware that Frank Zane had a podcast. I will certainly be tuning in.
Loved Part 2 of this interview as well.
Zane has looked much into where success is achieved..."IN THE MIND"...he is a fantastic source for training everything !
It is a major crime not to have a part three with this incredible being!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving Zane since day one!
You did a great job interviewing him. You were very humble, you tried to really see his point of view, and most of all you were honest with him when you didn't understand something he said/how it makes sense. He did a great job as well, BBB club (Big Bodybuilding Brainz)
The man is just a 'Class' apart....There were few, and then there were the 'elite few' !
I met him years ago at the Arnold's fest in Ohio.We talked for 10 minutes about 1981.He was a gentlemen and his knowledge was super.
Frank Zane had always been my favorite, and hearing talking like that, it all makes sense now..
Anyone who still thinks bodybuilders are dumb meat heads should sit down and have a conversation with Frank Zane.
Arnold's no idiot either.
Frank is true gem he is a wealth of experience as a sportsman body builder what an inspiration to me
WoW.. So good to discover today that Frank is amazingly spiritual! One of his working out pic in gym during his competition days wearing a top written "Chakra" on it.. That was quite a hint..
Frank/Escape Fitness. Thank you for this interview. Had a lot of life happenings that threw me off. Everything you mentioned here brought me back when I lived in Vegas and I took important things in my life serious: Bodybuilding, the Bible, The movie/book "The Secret", Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich", "Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, Strong Work Ethic, going to school and faith. Am over 40 now. Going to start all of it again. The story is different now, but the story is so good that it must go on. Frank going to buy your book on your website.
Great interview with Frank. Lots of insight
the most important BB in the history of the sport
Yes!
I remember bringing Frank Zane to SLC,Utah in 1979 for a training seminar! Great World Champion!
Great interview where Frank Zane shares his philosophy of life on mind/body at another level including meditation, spirituality...
Not only is Frank on another level of intelligence, he is on another planet!🧐😉💪🏻😀
Great job with these interviews! Frank Zane has a lot of wise advice!
Thanks so much for making this
Really fascinating interview! I am just a beginner lifter, but this is so fabulous and I am moved by the generosity Frank Zane!
Great thinker and explainer of Nonduality. Thank you Frank. Amazing man!
Thank you for this series!
Amazing interview! Words of wisdom from the “Great”. If we awesome to spend at least one day at the Zane Experience : )
listening to mr. Zane talk is so soothing. The zen is in the air
Really enjoyed this one, looking forward to Mr Zane's film and podcast. I think he his well suited to longer form media which is becoming more popular over the internet.
I have found practicing 'mindful meditation' has really helped my workouts and focus in general. Essentially focusing on breathing and being in the present moment.
Excllent end to the chapter ! I forgot about the movie he's been working on. I met with the IG moderator at the LA Fitexpo earlier this year. Showed me clips of the film already recorded , several pics taken at the beach and many guests that will appear in the film with him.
Just waiting for a release date now.
Frank is very insightful . .speaks on another plane. I cant think of any other BB today , especially of that era , that is of his caliber.
Bravo 👏👏
All respect to you Frank
I never knew Frank was like this.. I'm enlightened !
it is a great interview. i like and learned a lot as a champion,{one time overall winner in middle weight class} bodybuilder .i have been doing since 1975 and have great respect for my legend one and only dear precious Frank Zane brotha. thank you both.
Insight full Zane is a master
Fantastic interview! 💪
Great interview .. Zane is a Man of Wisdom.
Very intriguing interview.
Very inspirational!
Good interview
OMW to lift at sunrise. Frank opens with the bardo and the 3 kayas. Tears filled my eyes. Thank you. 🌾🏋🏼♀️
Oh I want to say bravo and thanks to Zane
Does Frank Zane give group lessons or conferences out of America? I would love to see him live in Europe one day. Anyway, it is great listening to him in this platform. Thank you for sharing!
Enrique Doc you can speak with him on the phone for a price (it’s a fair price for his wisdom) or if you train, he trains people at his home over I believe it’s a five day period.
Zane Experience .. Google it.
Mind blown..
My favourite mentor bodybuilder. Had the classic symmetrical proportions without the bloated big baby look. Breathing classic statue.
That’s why this man created the body he created because of his mind!
6 / 28 / 20 happy 78th birthday Frank Zane .... the living legend of Aesthetics
For your body to follow, the mind shall lead
I didn’t expect a talk on magick. Nice
I love that he says we are all lumens at around 29 minutes in and then a commercial comes on for a product called Lumen. Advertisers are really getting good at this.
Im like him in so many ways. The same understanding. I bet he is nr 7 numerology
gone gone gone beyond all hail...
I can listen to Frank Zane talk till I go to sleep
Too cerebral for this interview. Very interesting and enjoyable, though. Thanks.
There was a lot bs on this one. I had to stop on the God’s stuff. I like part 1. Respect Zane for his bodybuilding legacy!
Great interview,just wonder when will you interview Vic Downs another great bodybuilder who is stil around and is 91 year old,great person.He lives in Toronto Ontario Canada
i got to speak with zane on the phone years ago, he's a very nice man
Wow, real nice all of the stuff he done
@16:00 I'm crudely paraphrasing, but Nicola Tesla stated that the universe runs on 3's. Great clip!
Frank jesteś najlepszy , pozdrowienia z Polski
zanes a very intelligent man, thats why hes won afew olympias. genetics can get u only so far in bodybuilding then brains have to help u win.
Would like to know how wide Frank's shoulder span is. Thanks
This guy talks great stuff..
Zanes pot belly is 1979 worthy giggles!!
Frank, may I suggest the meditation-exercise taught by Roy Masters. Check out his videos. I know you will be impressed. God bless you always. MA
Your mind can keep you well.
LOVE FRANK ZANE’S comments on bodybuilding, winning strategies and healthy living. Man, I hate it when the famous talk spirituality. I had a good laugh when I saw Frank in another video noting how he would ”pray to the universe” for help. Obviously, Zane struggles with the august reality of a personal God, but not a personal universe! The universe is just a meaningless material void incapable of helping anyone. As Frank watched for signs and omens, that was God communicating truth to Zane in the impersonal way that Frank could handle. Frank will probably never be ready for a personal God who makes demands on him. His rigidity is typical of the self-help types who achieve a certain amount of material or athletic success but never find the one thing they were created for. And helping others, also falls short. 3X Mr Olympia...similtaneously, spiritual toddler. Whether one is ready or not, God informs you, early on, that it isn't just about you and your ”thing”. And if you aren't ready for that, you get passed over. Jesus forces everyone to chose, for or against, and there's nothing in the middle. The mantras are laughable, and a poor substitute for an acquired kinship and personal relationship with the mighty God. That avenue however is open only to the humble.
Well said, this sort of hogwash theology is what leaves people empty and without God.
Frank zane is ausome
This guy obviously isnt on the level of Frank . Although not many are
He knows a lot about Hinduism
This guy had a body type that the regular man guy would die for. Big in the right places and small where it counts. He is had the type of body that 99 percent of the women love to sleep with. The bodybuilders today great as they are and wonderful bodies. Well , It's alittle too much to the average guy. Zane is of course above average and a head Turner too. Most of the guys want to have a body like his body. Also it is probably the healthier way to live a regular life. My hat's off to Phil Heath and Brandon Curry too. Amazing bodybuilders.. I love both types of bodybuilders but for my body it is the Zane look. GO PHIL! 2021
In Russia, we say “3 is Gods favorite number”. Love Frank Zane.
In German the saying is: "Aller guten Ding sind 3." It is like "all good things come in three" in English.
Frank I’ll do your Birth Chart if you like, love your deep philosophical insights.
.. You would think his Sandows would be on display in the background for this video
Zane is talking mystical claptrap
I prefer to hear him talking about the science of bodybuilding
The Tibetan Book of living and dying by Songal Rinpoche.
Isn't the Aesthetic Maestro, One of the Great Olympian Bodybuilders of our Universe a TEACHER? High School I think.
Some Bodybuilders contemporaries of Frank Zane went overboard in their use of ANABOLIC STEROIDS, 'Mike Mentzer' for example. R.I.P.
At times it's really hard to hear what Zane is saying. He starts loud in the beginning of the sentence, but tails off into a whisper
the interviewer is very handsome, i wonder if he's married ?? i think he's a little shy. does zane ever talk about steroids, it wd be interesting for him to say if he thinks the steroids hav had any effects on him today, @26:46 when he mentioned his health, the interviwer should have asked him about all that., his feelings about the guys that are out there now competing,. Does he train young guys coming up in the sport ? I wd hav asked him more about the sport of bodybuilding. Dorian Yates talks about that. alot when he is interviewed.
Acts 4:10-12
So true about pictures many people dont like taking pics but this is how everyone sees you on a daily if u dont like your results change your life style with eating and exercising.
Now about God he does exist.
Zane is proof that for success you need luck. To be honest Franco Columbo never had first place shape, and he only won because Arnold was friend with judges at that time. Then when he was injured Zane won first place. Ofc you need to work but at the end of the day if you don't have a luck, you will never achieve anything. Who knows how many amazing BB there is and never achieved anything because lack of luck.
Good point. Rich gaspari, Keven levrone, Robby robinson
Very interesting topic
I like him better in pictures
What is the final gain vs a lambda man of 78. It is the way ? for the very health ?
My father is a no no no sportive of 78, but is shape is better !
Great interveiw by Frank, but dont like interviewer trying to get Frank to be political! Maga! That Brits own country in shambles .
Didn't keep him on target - less focus... Sad.
I will name my son Zane
i named my dog Frank
Too bad Classic Bodybuilders can't have more input and say in the industry! All that wisdom wasted away instead of helping direct this industry for the better. I mean direct say/input. They should be able to make the rules, they know best...
3 54 Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha is not from the Diamond Sutra but Heart Sutra. The Maha
Prajna Paramita Hrdaya Sutra
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
when practicing deeply the Prajna Paramita
perceives that all five skandhas are empty
and is saved from all suffering and distress.
Shariputra,
form does not differ from emptiness,
emptiness does not differ from form.
That which is form is emptiness,
that which is emptiness form.
The same is true of feelings,
perceptions, impulses, consciousness.
Shariputra,
all dharmas are marked with emptiness;
they do not appear or disappear,
are not tainted or pure,
do not increase or decrease.
Therefore, in emptiness no form, no feelings,
perceptions, impulses, consciousness.
No eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind;
no color, no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch,
no object of mind;
no realm of eyes
and so forth until no realm of mind consciousness.
11
No ignorance and also no extinction of it,
and so forth until no old age and death
and also no extinction of them.
No suffering, no origination,
no stopping, no path, no cognition,
also no attainment with nothing to attain.
The Bodhisattva depends on Prajna Paramita
and the mind is no hindrance;
without any hindrance no fears exist.
Far apart from every perverted view one dwells in Nirvana.
In the three worlds
all Buddhas depend on Prajna Paramita
and attain Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi.
Therefore, know that Prajna Paramita
is the great transcendent mantra
is the great bright mantra,
is the utmost mantra,
is the supreme mantra,
which is able to relieve all suffering
and is true, not false.
So proclaim the Prajna Paramita mantra,
proclaim the mantra which says:
gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha
gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha
gate, gate, paragate, parasamgate, bodhi svaha
He's not as good as Lee priest the priest will probably one of the best bodybuilders in bodybuilding history he's in the bodybuilding Hall of Fame best arms
i know god exist!
Samuel Benitez Zane obviously doesn’t....he’s a NEW AGER
He doesn't look anything like he did on the show Hart to Hart in 1981.
that was 100 years ago
I'm not sure what 77 years old is supposed to look like, but to me he now looks like any typical 77 year old - one's who've never lifted a weight or taken a steroid. So you have to assume that he doesn't take steroids anymore, but took plenty when he was younger of course. My guess is that as one gets older, you become more afraid of death, and try to do everything you can trying to hang on to what little life you have left - basically not taking steroids because either your cardiovascular system is pretty hosed already, or your prostate has exploded or soon will, either due to the earlier steroid use, or just old age in general. So, would it make more sense for men to avoid steroids at a younger age, and start taking steroids, hgh, hcg, steroids, etc., at 60+ years old and beyond to try to maintain the look and vitality you had prior to that age? Or will you just have a stroke and die from it cuz your old body can't handle it?! I mean, all men are primarily going to either die from cardiovascular disease or prostate cancer in their old age.
It's one thing to take steroids as a therapy and another thing to use it for sport.
@Gary Snow Is 58 too young? I'm just thinking out loud since I wonder these things for myself as I age, and yes I've done some low dose cycles. One certainly does not think the same at 20 as they do later on. One has to weigh the pro's and con's of trt/steroids/whatever you want to call it, as it may improve quality of life, but it might shorten the quantity due to what it may do to the prostate and cardiovascular - nobody knows for sure. But ask a urologist if they'd take em. Few users mention their PSA scores before, during, after usage. You are likely too young to have even thought about the prostate, PSA scores, prostate biopsies, prostate cancer, BPH, family history, etc. It will get real for you soon enough, steroids or not. As far as Frank, he reminds me a lot of Clint Eastwood in The Mule, and he's 89! And I love his line in the movie, "The only person that wants to live to 100 is a 99 year old!"
my dad is 80 and looks way better bigger healthier then zane...frank looks like shit
