    we need another paradigm shift towards aesthetics to stop all these folks killing themselves with excess size and drugs

    • @joshdaly7599
      @joshdaly7599 7 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      Enoch Root agreed, twats like Dingleberry and Chuck Basher don't look good at all. That said, that doesn't mean we should be promoting twinks like Jeff Seid, we need a shift towards Zane-mode or Schwarzenegger-mode, not smallmode.

    • @enochroot9438
      @enochroot9438 7 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Totally agree, not a fan of the Twink in board shorts look but a return to the 80's /90's aesthetic standards would be a positive move.

    • @pandahsykes602
      @pandahsykes602 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Goku disagreed . Those from the 70s/80s aren’t dying off like that due to steroids not being their main diet staple - but those from the modern era of bodybuilding are dying quick - rich piana , Dallas mc carver , Ronnie Coleman is on deaths door with that half paralysis going on .
      There’s plenty more where that came from - all deaths came from a number of factors but the driving force was their need to be bigger than their predecessors , and it pushed them over the edge in one way or another - drugs , choking , dying a slow and shameful death in a wheelchair .
      Let’s change this mass monster bullshit to a more golden age aesthetic look .

    • @christiangasior4244
      @christiangasior4244 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Nothing wrong with the Jeff Seid look, but I agree that there seems to be no place for a Frank Zane body these days. Symmetry and proportion mean very little I suppose. That’s a shame because you can perfect these things without having to make the ultimate sacrifice while promoting a supposedly ideal physique while in actuality your heart is twice the normal size and your organs are failing.

    Frank Zane was my inspiration as a 15 year old newbie. Arnold was the "Oh My God" physique and Frank was the "Now that's a human art" physique. His knowledge and personality made him the best spokesman for the sport during his Olympia reign. Thanks for the great video. He still deserves high praises today.

  • @equilibriumLM
    @equilibriumLM 5 ปีที่แล้ว +50

    I named my son "Zane" after Frank Zane because he was incredible to me as an amateur bodybuilder. My wife's granfather, who has passed, was named Frank. So it just fit perfectly. 💪

    Excellent presentation. Many thanks.
    Zane visited Australia, where I’m from, back in the 1970s. He visited a local gym with Serge Nubret to give a talk. Nubret was seated at the front of the gym but there was no sign of Zane, only some average looking guy in a shortsleeved shirt with a beard sitting next to Nubret. Eventually, everyone realised that the bearded guy was Zane. He looked nothing, and there were signs of disappointment. When Zane got to taking off his shirt, however, jaws dropped. Zane instantly looked much bigger, and he wasn’t quite in contest shape though still defined. His arms simply defied belief, as did the rest of him. If people think that Frank Zane at his near best or best was small, they really have no idea. And he was a walking anatomy chart.

  • @Intect2013

    Absolutely beautiful physique. A huge admirer of Zane and his aesthetics. As a bodybuilder I trained for that symmetrical look. Saw Zane in Worlds Gym in Venice Ca. In 83 ,he was surprisingly strong and saw him incline bench as much as 315 . Impressive . Miss the Era of physique bodybuilding. Thanks for the inspiration Frank Zane

    Personally I think he had the best looking physique of all the official winners of the Mr Olympia title. According to one of his books , he weighed 187,88, and 190 for each of his respective Mr O victories. His books are a wealth of information for any prospective bodybuilder , or for anyone looking to get healthier and more fit. A true legend!

  • @philcarr4800
    @philcarr4800 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Had a private meeting with him as a birthday present. Frank didn’t actually throw his trophy against a wall. The trophy did break(because they were poor quality) when it fell over. A writer sensationalized the whole thing for a story. He is still into archery and was telling me about his new compound bow his wife just got him. I can attest that he is a standup guy in a sport where it isn’t common.

      Zane himself said Frank said that what really happened was the following; He leaned over and asked Arnold how he felt coming back after 5 years and competing with the guys that had been busting their butts the past few years and paying their dues.
      Arnold hesistated a moment and right before Frank hit his pose said "It's kicking my ass, I'm tired." Frank said that answer made him laugh and at that moment the photo was taken.

      I've watched the 1980 Mr O and can categorically state that Zane looked very good in '80, his condition was fantastic, this is just a bad angle.

    I said this before and I'll say it again, that I find it hilarious that Frank Zane threw his trophy against the wall, only because it's hard to imagine. I admire him for everything that he's done for not only professional bodybuilding, but also opening the general public's eyes to the concept that one can do with weights exactly what any artist decides to do with a painting or portrait, and leave it up to the individual to decide. In my humble opinion, he accomplished his goals, and then some.

    Frank Zane had and may still have a training facility called Zane Haven in Palm Springs Calif. You could train with him and I believe stay there as well. Limited amount of clients at one time, meals, etc. Probably pretty pricey too.

    In all those years in the early 70's Franco used to win his under 200 class and used to compete with Arnold for the overall Mr Olympia. After Arnold retired in 1975, Franco had the best physique on stage and subsequently won the 1976 Mr.Olympia. However, a freakish accident in the World's strongest man competition forced him out of bodybuilding. So Frank had the best physique back then and his era began and there was a shift towards lines and aesthetics. If Franco would have been on the scene, I guess Franco would have won all of those Mr.Olympia titles. I personally feel that Frank Zane was the best looking Mr Olympia we ever had. I thought he could have been an actor. Saw one of his commercials. Loved the video, Nick. Top job as always.

    i have always said and thought Arnold never had an Aesthetic body like Frank. Even today if you show women Franks body they always love it because it was very eye pleasing whereas arnold was more about the mass. I like Arnold as well but Frank IMO had the best Aesthetic physique ever in bodybuilding and was much healthier day to day than todays outta breath Fat Monster sorry i meant Mass monsters

    • @CharroArgentino
      @CharroArgentino 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Zane body honestly isn't that pleasing either, his skin looked like rugged paper and he was filled with veins all over. It had a good shape overall, but women would take someone like Chris Hemsworth or Fight Club Brad Pitt over Zane any day.

    I believe his last mr. Olympia appearance was 1983 when Samir Lion of Lebanon won. I was 15 and I remember seeing him in the magazines with that classic Zane shape. Subtle understated and somewhat underrated Frank's physique was amazing
