the glans of his penis looks atrophied
We're often told that Frank Zane had a flawless physique. He was lean, symmetrical...but was he flawless?Zane won 3 Olympias....... the others you`re mentioning in your post won a combined total of ZERO.
In his time, I think Robinson was just as aesthetic. Serge Nubret was a bit earlier but to me he had a better build.
Later guys like Paris, Labrada...they're who I think of when hear terms like balance and symmetry.
I'd even say Danny Padilla was a better bodybuilder.
I don't mean to disrespect Zane at all, but in terms of his perfect physique, was it just that there weren't that many other people who looked like that back in his day that made him stand out?
Here he is. He looks great, but, I can't put my finger on what it is that doesn't 'work' in terms of his build. Is this flawless?

Yes he was. Guy looks amazing there. I would give up the size game if I could look close to that.
What I've always liked about him was he did his own thing ..I think he realised early on that he couldn't be as big as say Arnold..etc so he worked hard to look much leaner & sculpted which was his strong point
Robby was a troublemaker. That did not help his career.
If I recall correctly Nubret lived and trained outside of the USA? Living and training close to the bodybuilding media, judges, best gyms etc has advantages.
Not trying to be contrarian for the sake of it but "much leaner" than who? And what does "sculpted" mean :D You often hear things like Zane worked to be as symmetrical as possible instead of as big as possible. Nah that was just his genetics. The body almost develops as it wants to develop, there is much less control than believed. JMHO 8)It´s OK ..your opinions but i do believe he was very intelligent & knew what he was doing
No he couldn't be as big as Arnold but he tried to get as big as possible, like they all did.
It´s OK ..your opinions but i do believe he was very intelligent & knew what he was doing
He mentioned Steve Reeves & Reeves was another Bodybuilder who developed every thing in proportion, neck, Biceps, waist
Reeves in his Book mentioned his shoulder width too, so i believe Zane had his plan
IMHO no bodybuilder ever really changes their proportions, for example when they try to emphasize certain muscle groups in training, which is more evidence it's mostly genetic. The guys who are somewhat unproportionate will claim that's actually the look they were going for LOL. Small bodybuilders who can't gain size will claim they don't want a lot of size, they are going for "quality" instead. And so on. Reeves was a genetic freak. Great genes for everything, great proportions and skeletal structure. Steve also believed in complete baloney such as this exercise widening his shoulders:I think more Lats but in his Book "Building the Classic Physique" he mentions it was a warm up exercise with 300 Lbs while training at the York Club.
The body almost develops as it wants to develop, there is much less control than believed. JMHO 8)
Yep. Nasser said that he will bring up his back to beat Dorian.
Like, how? He’d been a top pro already for years. Didn’t train his back before?

I don't know if you were here when Serge died or into bb then but rumors out of France were that Serge died from insulin OD. Before he died one Euro seminar promoter took to Facebook and said Serge demanded he would be supplied with drugs in every country he held a seminar in. There had been a falling out between the promoter and Serge. And he was real old by then. For those that like drug gossip, Milos told of a pre-comp method Serge he learned from Serge. Three weeks out one amp of Winstrol (50mg) a day, 2 a day 2nd week and 3 a day last week. Nothing crazy but I like these little anecdotes.

Arnold changed his calves though, thereby changing his proportions a bit

I wonder if Arnold ever tried to get with her.
sounds like a swingers club
Very attractive wife. I wonder if Arnold ever tried to get with her.I doubt it she didn´t like fat fucks :D
I doubt it she didn´t like fat fucks :DArnold was skinnier than Zane in the late 70's. When Zane ruptured his cock in the 80's she probably had guys all over her.
A true legend but was very arrogant. I guess he had a right to be. He wasn’t very friendly when I met him. I feel Zane wouldn’t look down on someone only if they were famous, paying him money, or was a fellow competitor or armed forces vet.You would think being a school teacher would make someone very humble.
Sergio Oliva was the exact opposite when I met him. Did Zane act like he was the greatest of all time? I would say yes. And I would say he was mistaken to think that.
But I feel he was one of the greatest. He’s not in my Top 5, but I think his training and diet should be studied and get a tip of the hat.

Did you meet Sergio Oliva when he was still competing? What were your impressions?I met him when he was retired. I think it was one of the last Olympias that Ronnie won. He was so friendly and spoke to me for a while. No one was at his booth and he was happy I wanted to meet him. Big smile on his face and welcoming. Really humble and a kind man.
You think we would learn something new?His pullovers were intriguing.
Jerry Brainum said he was a weird guy at times..Zane liked to smoke weed, maybe had mood swingsI just remember he was hunched over under his booth’s tent at the expo and seemed angry at anyone who came over to meet him. Not sure why he attended the expo. He reminded me of an angry old man yelling at people who walked on his lawn.
You would think being a school teacher would make someone very humble.Definitely didn’t seem humble to me. He appeared on edge like a Vietnam Vet with PTSD flashbacks.
You think we would learn something new?well maybe you should enlighten us with your wisdom as you seem to know better in almost every subject

I never met Zane but I overheard Katz,Arnold,Franco,and a few others say he was quiet and didn`t speak much...........Arnold called him a stuck up asshole.You were in Pumping Iron?
I heard this back when they filmed Pumping Iron.......did I ever tell you guys I was in P.I. ? LOL ;D
Fuck of fuckface!!!!!!
You don't see how I constantly repeat how uncertain I am and that I ask for others' opinions? You don't see how I constantly say I'm not familiar with this or that subject? How much do I have to apologize for my humble remarks in my posts? Of course I sometimes make a gentle sarcastic remark, I try to fit in as that's how you're supposed to act here. I mean working out is just so.... similar among bodybuilders. This post is meant to be in a good natured nonconfrontational tone - bro! :D ;D :D ;D

Nice try but bs. Arnold already was an established champion before he moved to the USA
NABBA Mr Universe 1966, 1967 and 1968
It's the lower less talented and less succesful bodybuilders who were struggling (see the link to the Bill Grant video in another topic...)
The Weiders knew Arnold was a money making machine for them
He was the future of bodybuilding and very marketable. Advertisers, and readers liked him = more sales. What it's all about.

This.To be fair to Arnold..i do believe he & paul Graham had a real Homo relationship,
In fact, Mentzer was the one passed around to have his rent covered, drugs etc .... his fans very well are aware of that, yet they keep throwing the Arnold homo" comments like that somehow makes Mentzer better than him ...
WooooooSSSHHHHHHHHH
I genuinely do not get the reverence for Zane. Of course he looked great, he was a pro bodybuilder at a time when all pro bodybuilders looked great. The standards at the time were such that size, proportion, definition were all at their ideal masculine peak.A lot of those guys had far better body parts than Zane.....but the overall physique on stage is what set him apart.
What I mean by that is, in ancient Rome or ancient Greece, artists sculpted statues of what a heroic male should look like, though few men walked around looking like those statues, the artists imagined what a God or mythical hero should ideally look like and if you compared it to modern man the closest you would get is a pro bodybuilder of the 70's/early 80's.
With that said, imo Zane is overrated. Yes, he had a few really good years, 1968, 1978 and 1979 in particular. I think his biggest asset was how he presented his physique and the way he posed, his other major strength was during his Olympia run when he figured out how to get much more shredded than his competition. Beyond that it's hard for me to see how he was objectively better than many of his peers- take Coe or Beckles or Dickerson or Viator or Padilla for example. And say who had the best chest? Arms? Back? Legs? Abs? I dont see Zane winning any of those categories, but somehow it's sacrilege to suggest any of those guys were better than Zane.
TL/DR- no, Zane is not as great/perfect as we're told but still a great physique nonetheless.

He had a certain flow that no one else had.
Zane won 3 Olympias....... the others you`re mentioning in your post won a combined total of ZERO.
It`s a very subjective sport, plus Weider was as crooked as my hunchback brother.

Wag Bennet had a Gym where Arnold trained.
In the US of A Weider knew he was a fatty & sent him to Vince Gironda..who called him a Fat Bastard
Arnold´s ego was too big .. he sold out to the old men who loved homosexuality .muscle boys & sodomy :-X
the rest is history :D
I mean, Shawn Ray, Chris Cormier, Flex Wheeler, Kevin Levrone, won a total of ZERO, but Lundsford, Curry, Ramy, Samson, Jay, Hadi, are all O winnersSheer lunacy isn`t it ???

You really, really want to believe Arnold is homosexual. I think most folks here know why that is. I'm starting to think all the black prostitutes you fuck/fucked while married have little surprises down below. The only thing left to uncover is whether or not you take it up the ass, down the hatch or both.You're obviously an angry Black Gay man

I think Nubret had one of the best physiques of all time. I think Zane might have been bigger - his legs were better for sure - but legs were less of a thing in Serge's prime than they became later. A comparison of the two would be interesting to see.not sure how accurate this article is but most sources say high rep leg work

Zane had an outstanding pyhsique.Remember when Getbig used to say he looked like he had the body of a swimmer.....I`d like to look like that swimmer! :D
He was also lucky that his "lack of size" became some kind of selling point of his.
When I was reading MuscularDickvelopment I thought Zane was small and useless but as an old fart I would rather look like Zane than those other mutants.

Imagine how many piles of Duke's shit Hankins will step on in his weed ridden back yard if he even makes it to 51.
I feel like he looked great, but I admired the massive guys more, from that era, guys like Arnold, Franco and Lou Ferrigno
This ...Bob Paris was a Great Bodybuilder
I think Bob Paris 84 would have beaten Zane in the late 70's .... Ironically, I think Paris never made the top six at the Olympia.
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

As an amatuer and his first few years as a pro Paris looked phenomenal. Later in his career he looked good, he was fairly tall and wide with perfect proportions but never approached the same level of conditioning as he did early on.I don´t agree
As far as 84 Paris vs 79 Zane, that would be very close. I think Paris was just as ripped as Zane but Paris was larger and had better lines, better aesthetics. However Zane's posing and presentation was better imo. Paris posing was pretty gay- not just because he was gay- he posed to really soft ballads and/or classical music, much like Dickerson. Zanes poses were masculine, powerful, he posed to pink Floyd 'one of these days' and 'run lije hell' both great songs to pose to. On the surface, Paris wins easily. But going back to Wes' point, Zane's presentation was untouchable. He carried himself like the winner.
I don´t agree
Bob was pretty fucking ripped when he first turned pro. Overall and especially in his last few years Bob never got shredded. There are a few pics of him floating around from that time. I may have the exact year wrong. It may have been 85.
I was told Zane was perfect, and I’d be goddamned to think otherwise!
Some things are incontrovertible truths.
Zane was perfect
Mentzer lost because he let his belly hang out.

I don't remember seeing this level of bitch tits on him before. Maybe you need a 'trained' eye to see it :DYeah never noticed but he did,,,shredded here tho..
On stage, Zane was as dangerous as a $5 lawn chair.(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/WmkAAOSw0sVl63i7/s-l400.jpg)
