Mr. Zane was my teacher at Mark Twain jr. high , he was fantastic. We didn't know he was a famous body builder but we knew he was cool.
Bro where fuck did you go to school, Ivy League type beat
Frank Zane’s physique is what every man should work for he wasn’t too big or too small it was just right.
Best physique of all time period!!! Muscular,..balanced ... Yet athletic and attainable looking!!
It’s not obtainable to 99% of people bro. Def not natty atleast
@@Borgborg128 he was natural
@@anonymouschad he was called the “Chemist” for a reason bro
What is it with foreigners' comments being so god damn stupid? Add more exclamations points, please
how did he train? what was his program? i want the look where he said he looked wide from the front and back but he didn't look thick from the side and still looked very lean, which is why it kinda looks attainable.
My personal opinion is that Frank developed the most aesthetic physique of all time. He used about 100% of his God given potential.

@@jmgonzales7701 His secret, insane intensity thats how you reach your maximum genetic potential
@@jmgonzales7701if you see this comment. Zane trained with moderate weights with high reps. But would always have slow negatives in his reps. His mindset was to always get a good pump on each working set
@@magst734 how heavy was his moderate weight?
@@jmgonzales7701 I honestly don’t know. And the footage of Zane is minuscule
Frank makes the most sense of diet for anyone who is "in the game" of just wants to live a healthy life. He is a good presenter.
Arnold was on Howard Stern recently and said.......
" I can't stand to look at myself in the mirror "
Quote.
Bruce Springsteen.....
" Glory Days "
Yea they'll pass you by.
We all need to let the past go and accept the present.
Let's let it go.
He meant at 70..hes being honest. Can you imagine looking like him ? You have to stop using steroids if you want to see 70. He looks great for his age . I may not agree with him but he's an icon
When the scientist experiment is oneself. Zane knew his body and it showed.
Always good to listen to a legend 😀. Cheers
BALANCE AND PROPORTION ARE THE KEY THINGS TO PURSUE !
Almost no one does this anymore, but if you are starting out, you should try it.
Begin your weightlifting journey with two dumbbells.
Work your weaker side to failure while holding a matched weight in your dominant hand.
Then, do the same number of reps on your strong side. (It will be easy for your dominant hand.)
In time, your two sides will balance in strength and the muscles will also begin to look the same size on both sides.
Then and only then can you go to the barbell and use both hands at the same time.
Strength comes first and then hypertrophy.
On the legs, start with reverse lunges (one leg at a time).
This will allow you to detect and fix an imbalance of strength and size in your lower body just like you did in your upper body.
If you go straight to heavy weights on a straight bar, you will get injured as you try to lift more of the weight on your dominant side and struggle with the form and balance of lifts that are both too heavy for your weak side and too light for your strong side.
Asymmetry will twist your back and shoulders into a pretzel. This is a great way to get injured as quickly as possible.
Balance is the key to safe and injury free lifting.
You have a lifetime to grow and improve.
You don't want to rush and get injured.
Invest a year in achieving balance in your strength before you start attempting heavy weights.
Spending a lifetime trapped in a broken body for a mistake you made when you were 17 would be a living hell.
Injuries lead to missed training. That leads to weight gain and new problems. Obesity, joint damage, heart disease...
Go slowly and do it right.
I think you would really like Matt Wennings youtube channel. That's what he talks about all day long, longevity. And how to balance the body. Like for instance he pointed out that almost all people have quads way bigger than their hamstrings. And when the quad is 63% bigger than the hamstring, knee damage takes off exponentially. The ideal ratio is 1 to 1. Or he pointed out that if your biceps are stronger than your rear delts, it will cause shoulder injuries.
Zane always my favorite.
I fashioned (or tried) my body to match Frank Zane. Perfect symmetry and by far the most my bodybuilding idol.
I’ve been using Frank Zane’s books for 15, one of the best investments ever.
love the Zane's🎉
amazing guy
I've been bodybuilding back in the 70's and I've always looked up to Frank Zane even then.
Now I'm 64 and last year had a stent placed into one of my heart arteries and they've given me Anti-Cholesterol drugs to take each day.
Now I'm concerned that all the eggs, red meat, etc.. Would be all for nothing.
I want to get back into bodybuilding as I feel much more fit than I did 5 years ago when I was fighting diabetes then took myself of those drugs which helped my loose weight as well as giving up sugar and now to control my blood sugar I drink a glass of Cinnamon tea wth some Stevia for sweetness.
I don't know about these lowering cholesterol drugs if I should take them or not or if I do, by eating more GOOD cholesterol foods will I overcome this problem.
Can you help me in this area?
I believe in you sir
I am your age as well, and it seems you copied my story. I too worked out, then following an heart attack (2 years ago) i had stents inserted in my arteries and given Statins to take each day( but i'm affected by Familial Hypercholesterolemia, so i have no choice). I too have ceylon Cinnamon in my teas with Stevia sweetner. My advice is to keep taking the statins and follow a diet very low in saturated fats, and very low in refined carbs which will fence off diabetes which i also have.
Salmon, sardines, oily fish, avocados, low fat meat and poltries, walnuts, brasil nuts, seeds, oatmeals, green and cruciferus vegetables, olive oil, Apple Cider Vinegar, Blue berries, natural yougurt, and stay away from sugary and refined carbs but if you occasionally fancy some carbs like bread, rice, pasta or potatos, document yourself about "Resistant Starches" subject and watch videos about it on Utube. It's an eye opener.
Hope it helps

You can build muscle being vegan, just gotta research a little. You can get tons of protein and minimize your cardiovascular risk from plant sources (even if not fully vegan)
6 TBS of cider vinegar with a glass of hot water. Add tsp or less of honey. Should not be sweet like tradition apple cider drink. Helps keeps blood sugar levels even.
Know that your dietary requirement for cholesterol is zero. The body makes what it needs. Studies show people with high ‘good cholesterol’ died sooner than people with low cholesterol. Eat a huge variety of plants. Plant fats are ok. Inverse correlation between plant fats and longevity. Strong correlation between animal fats and longevity (ie more of equals shorter life)
You have to be one bad MF to earn the right to wear a shirt with yourself on it. I think Mr. Zane unlocked that right.
He did look fking amazing at one time. Him and sleeve reeves looked the best I think for that classic look
Im the same way look good from the front and behind but I’m not super thiccc from side view. I’m after aesthetics not mass tbh.
@@andygodwin5965 bro I was 200lbs graduating hs at 5’6 definitely not a fast metabolism💀💀💀💀
@@andygodwin5965 Asians are also cold climate adapted thus making it easier to store adipose tissue.
@@andygodwin5965 also why tf would I take tren for mass🤡
Edit: there are far more superior anabolics for that.
Long live the "Chemist"
Can't knock Ronnie but the golden Era put bodybuilding on the map and the golden Era was Arnold's. Arnold's physique was phenomenal and proportioned well. Frank Zanes physique was second to none as far as size and definition IMO. There are tons who rank high on the list.
Remarkable that at 5' 10" 185, former Mr O Frank Zane would be too small for even classic physique today.
He was more like 5' 9 and like 200 . There's no way he was 185. I've been 195 at 6 ' 1 and 10 % bodyfat..didn't look bad. Looked Nothing like any mr Olympia lol....
It was in the book you wrote and I bought before internet.
We live on the world of lies.
In this video you said accident.
In your book you clearly state that you sat on your balls and squashed one.
Your words
How old is he here ?
Not 28
The MOST perfect body of all time, will always be STEVE REEVES!!!
I’m not the biggest fan of his physique
Frank slightly lacked in his legs I felt. Would've been perfection with a little more mass in the legs. Imho
Depends on your goal. Most guys don't care about size and most women don't like it either. His goal was aesthetic
He had injuries and couldn't always train properly. He also had a bad accident and cut one of them badly falling thru a glass table..no joke. But I see your point, but they all were smaller compared to later guys in terms of leg development ..well except for platz later
Do not do obliques
