When I was a teenager (70s) I would hear about Arnold, Lou, etc. My Dad would say see that guy, Frank Zane.... He is the real deal... A body builders body builder..... And a Gentleman...
Incline bench press is my favorite exercise and I think for Bodybuilding it's a great choice and is the perfect move that covers a seated press and a bench press working both more of the anterior delt and the upper chest...great vid!!
This whole series is fantastic and makes me very nostalgic for a more civilised age of professional bodybuilding Back then, it truly was an artform Love what you're doing with this channel GEB, looking forward to more presentations in the future !
I never do flay bench press cuz of that reason! I see alot of guys with overdeveloped lower chests and it makes them look fat. Greek God nor Greek yogurt!
Zanes chest is so masculine and it seems arnold was trying to keep up with sergio oliva, that may explain why his pecs are outta proportion to his delts ? ?
bry ross he rarely did direct work, ive only seen couple pics/videos training neck out of million other photos, same with traps. Breathing trough nose and breathing heavy developed neck to a degree, training rear shoulders with some exercises also worked traps for example uprights rows (depends on the position of your elbows, forearms).
I have seen so many variations that this guy uses I really don’t know which one to start with. I’ve seen split B 1977 version and 1982 push leg pull or what he calls the 3/5 system. What do u recommend to be his most accurate?
Beautiful gonna try this as I got my chest coming along! All I do is train golden era style I shout take short rests and smash just bench deadlifts squats etc while everyone else seems to be doing cables and leaving out the basics and I’m the only one sweating! Golden era was the best body’s they where strong as they lolkes and beautiful! Now they weak and pumped Up about to have a heart attack top Level is just drug abuse and they look crap
I don’t think Zane had the Physical capacity to build a massive chest his natural ectomorphic frame wouldn’t allow it. He developed his body to its genetic potential. A great body no doubt. 💪🏻
Serge Nubret was better... Zane has / had a thin chest - No Thickness... Zane never performed a Real Side Chest Pose because he never totally developed a Chest, Compared to Serge Nubret he Zane really lacked. However, Symmetry was a requirement after Lee Haney, this was no longer a requirement. Huge mistake.
All the proteins.. Cheese whole egg omelettes Raw milk raw cream Fruit/fruit juice Red meat Fish Chicken Glandulars Liver Raw eggs Butter Water Egg and milk protein powder Creatine
I never said that Frank had better shape than Reg Park. But if you want my opinion, I like both bodybuilders. They just had different structures and achieved their physiques to the point of perfection
@@GoldenEraBookworm What was the most used training split by the best athlets of the Golden era,and y they have done that way. Today, most of the pros go for the 1 muscle per day. How did they train back then?!
Why does Frank Zane look unspectacular in his old age? Has he quit training altogether? At what point did that happen, and why? Did his body reach an age where he was unable to process the drugs? Did his joints give up and refuse to handle the weights? How has he gone from incredible to normal in his latter years?
Gary Duncan he trains upper body and lower body 1x a week each. He said it’s “adequate” for his age, and that due to old age it’s what is realistic. His diet however is still on point always.
It’s two things: Zane is getting friggin old -doesn’t matter what type of “god” you were in the 1970’s. Also, when you take drugs to surpass your body’s normal abilities, you pay the price later on...
He's absolutely incredible! It doesn't get any better than this. Frank Zane made bodybuilding a real art and so much more meaningful.
He sure did
Agreed!!!
When I was a teenager (70s) I would hear about Arnold, Lou, etc. My Dad would say see that guy, Frank Zane.... He is the real deal... A body builders body builder..... And a Gentleman...
Sweet
Haha my dad said the same thing
His proportions were perfect. Nothing was too big or too small. One of the greats in body building
Inspired by Steve Reeves.
I totally agree.
The King of Aesthetics. He really looks like a Greek God.
I totally agree!!!
It's so important to have someone who can intelligently point out the amazing details of Frank Zane's development that explains why he is a legend.
Incline bench press is my favorite exercise and I think for Bodybuilding it's a great choice and is the perfect move that covers a seated press and a bench press working both more of the anterior delt and the upper chest...great vid!!
Thanks
@Magnus Rasmussen precisely
Zane was only 1 of three people who could claim they beat Arnold in a competition. Sergio Oliva and Chet Yorton were the other two.
Never liked Chets physique, always seemed to blocky to me but Frank, Sergio and Serge were on par with the oak for sure!
I love the Frank Zane series!
Me too
This whole series is fantastic and makes me very nostalgic for a more civilised age of professional bodybuilding
Back then, it truly was an artform
Love what you're doing with this channel GEB, looking forward to more presentations in the future !
Frank Zane was and still is amazing.
My favourite classic bodybuilder. Just exquisite
I heard that the circumference of the arm should be the same as the calves. What do you think about that?
Frank Zane approach his body in a mathematical way
This guy should be a teacher
Am joking
He was flipping awesome.
Stumbled across your channel just yesterday and I’ve been hooked ever since, Golden information! 💪🏼
Frank Zane would of won the Arnold classic physic.Frank Zane had the physic 95% of bodybuilders would want.✌💪
You are on fire lately!
Thanks
Frank Zane uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos. Excelente !!!!
Great video! Really loved the deep insight into Frank’s training routine and philosophy. Appreciate these videos so much. Thank you. 🙏💪👍
Golden knowledge from golden era of bodybuilding.😍😍😍
Frank is one of great ones....
He always reminded of a bit more muscular Steve Reeves...perfect proportions without looking stupid big
Zane was the man!
Zane slays all
Two questions:
Will you do more Videos about Tom Platz?
And one thing I would be so hyped about is a video about the GOMAD diet
Perfection.
A physique that I absolutely wish I had. Amazing physique. That’s bodybuilding sculpting the body
Thank you for this series i want to develop a physique like frank this helps alot
A lot of the top bodybuilders today if you look there delts are the same size sometimes even bigger than their chest which is just weird
I never do flay bench press cuz of that reason! I see alot of guys with overdeveloped lower chests and it makes them look fat. Greek God nor Greek yogurt!
Thank you !!!
I quite doing all barbell movements due to shoulder issues. Dumbells and Machines now. I am North of fiddy also.
Wow. Just wow.
Thanks bro
Awesome , love the channel
Thanks
I just switched to "suicide" grip and amazed at the improved mind muscle connection
Nice
Is that the same as thumbless - whole hand over the bar? Yikes.Reverse grip scary enough..but reverse grip is much better for upper chest.
Even his his upper trap development was phenomenal.
What!?, It's not
Fascinating concepts!!
6:50 he looks handsome
Handsome bastard
Zanes chest is so masculine and it seems arnold was trying to keep up with sergio oliva, that may explain why his pecs are outta proportion to his delts ? ?
The only thing I don’t agree with is that you cannot change the shape of your muscles. Your shape is determined by genetics.
Zane like Stallone in Rocky iv
Yeah, true
He by far as easily went in to be a 10 time Mr. Olympia if He never got Injured.
Bro, can u do a video on traps develpment.... Specially mid and lower traps
Not from Frank Zane, but I have a very rare booklet just on traps
@archtopone ok
@archtopone you're welcome
I have had a hard time developing traps, specially lower and mid. The upper grows well, making it look imbalanced
Thanks in advance sir... We would love a video
Did zane also train his neck ?? Do you know gbw, cuz it looks great and ties in nicely woth his delts.
bry ross he rarely did direct work, ive only seen couple pics/videos training neck out of million other photos, same with traps.

keep up the content man i love it!
Beautiful gonna try this as I got my chest coming along! All
I do is train golden era style I shout take short rests and smash just bench deadlifts squats etc while everyone else seems to be doing cables and leaving out the basics and I’m the only one sweating! Golden era was the best body’s they where strong as they lolkes and beautiful! Now they weak and pumped
Up about to have a heart attack top
Level is just drug abuse and they look crap
Good for you for going Golden era style, you are smart!
I don’t think Zane had the Physical capacity to build a massive chest his natural ectomorphic frame wouldn’t allow it. He developed his body to its genetic potential. A great body no doubt. 💪🏻
What’s the best book 📖 on earning a great vacuum? I know you’ve explained this subject in other videos but I’d like to study the subject myself 🤩
dont over develop the chest.. here I am 10yrs later still struggling to get any chest development going..
Larry Wheels is a prime example of over developed lower chest. His chest actually sags like a womans breast. Even in shirts, you can see it.
My chest is more defined thant arms and I train arms with more reps . Years ago I was just doing squats and push-ups before I joined the gym
How many days a week should you train shoulders? I personally do a push pull weekly routine where I’m hitting each body part twice each at mo!
More than once imo
Serge Nubret was better... Zane has / had a thin chest - No Thickness... Zane never performed a Real Side Chest Pose because he never totally developed a Chest, Compared to Serge Nubret he Zane really lacked.
However, Symmetry was a requirement after Lee Haney, this was no longer a requirement. Huge mistake.
Sir need a bodybuilders off season bulking diet... Please help sir for getting huge
All the proteins..
Cheese whole egg omelettes
Raw milk raw cream
Fruit/fruit juice
Red meat
Fish
Chicken
Glandulars
Liver
Raw eggs
Butter
Water
Egg and milk protein powder
Creatine
I thought the lower chest should be neglected for aesthetics? I’ve never worked on the lower chest. Should I start to?
Still develop it. Just dont overobsess about it.
I don’t get it, so he only did 3-5 sets per workout for each body part ? How am I going to have a decent pump will only 3 sets ?
Low rest
Do you think that had a better shape than Park Overall?
I never said that Frank had better shape than Reg Park. But if you want my opinion, I like both bodybuilders. They just had different structures and achieved their physiques to the point of perfection
Ok boss!
Can u make a video about training split?
What do you mean exactly?
@@GoldenEraBookworm
What was the most used training split by the best athlets of the Golden era,and y they have done that way.
Today, most of the pros go for the 1 muscle per day.
How did they train back then?!
@@Orichio ok, I could do a video that, I know the answer to that question
@@GoldenEraBookworm looking forward to that,my friend
my shitty gym doesn't even have an incline bench
06:15 he looks like a young Sylvester Stallone
Serge Nubret destroys Frank Zane! He wasn't skinny like Zane!
Greek GOD!
Are you from Scotland ?
ha bro its me can i have ur email id ... i need to talk to u about the 36 eggs a day diet by vince.... feedback will be help full

Luca D yeah but he doesn’t have the physique anymore. Why? Was it all down to drugs?
Gary Duncan because he’s an old man...still looks great for his age
Luca D Does he? He seems to cover everything up these days. Why is that? Obviously ending the drug use ended the physique.
It’s two things: Zane is getting friggin old -doesn’t matter what type of “god” you were in the 1970’s. Also, when you take drugs to surpass your body’s normal abilities, you pay the price later on...
Does masturbating affect your gains?
