Legendary Bodybuilder Frank Zane Reveals How He Achieved Physical Perfection

August 1978, I was doing preacher curls at World Gym in Santa Monica, and Frank Zane came over and asked "May I work in with you?". (Such a gentleman - Can the reigning Mr Olympia 'work in with me?'... Duh! ). I can hear his distinctive voice in my head 45 years later like it was yesterday "let your biceps do ahhlll the work.". Quite the thrill for this 21year old Okie!

You know what separates these old school greats like Zane and Arnold? Notice how humble, well spoken and intelligent they are, even at this age now, compared to some of these YouTuber bodybuilder egomaniac lifters today. Humbleness and humility are not signs of weakness but signs of high value

How to get a physique like Frank Zane: 1) Be Frank Zane.

This man is a diamond!…My respect level for who he is and what he has accomplished is top notch. May the good Lord continue to bless him.

I am still physically active at 70. This is my idol. I have followed him and the rest of his gang for years.

Frank Zane the pure definition of symmetry

This man is a classy and inspirational role model that has defined the art of bodybuilding. Still a legend forever.

His voice was calming and mindful

I always loved Zane’s balance of intellectualism and spirituality with physical culture, a rarity in the sport. He always had an air of being somewhat out in the aether, but consummately grounded at the same time. A great example as a man.

I can't believe he competed almost 50 yrs ago and still kicking, still sharp as a scalpel. The chemist, the idol. I kept watching the interview it just kept getting better, the man is soo cerebral. Good interviewer as well!

OMG its frank zane , I'm 61 and he was at is best when I was about 16, Live forever dear Frank please never leave us . Love from Robert x. 🇬🇧.

I am 73 and still going at it. Frank Zane and Bruce Lee were my two main Idols and still my inspiration to keep at it no matter what!

How amazing is it that I could be sitting here at home, eating my meal as usual and in a simulated conversation with Frank Zayne? It’s miraculous really! Gotta love the internet.

At 70 years old now, this interview really helped me to reevaluate my workouts.

Frank is such a bodybuilding icon! I have been following him for years, and he is one of the reasons I have started my fitness journey. I gave my best and trained hard for years, but I was hardly getting any muscle, only to find out that my diet was nowhere near as it should’ve been. I have always eaten ‘just enough’ thinking it would be sufficient. My first real diet plan taught me the lesson. I remember getting it from Next Level Diet, but somehow it helped me gain a few pounds in my first month of using it. Surely it wasn’t all pure muscle, but I was happier than ever. Thanks Frank for everything you did for bodybuilding!!

His physique is what a healthy bodybuilder looks like.

If Frank Zane decided to become a bodybuilding professor I'd take his course at the drop of a dime! He has that type of personality where he'd be an excellent instructor.

He's 79 it's nice to see a bodybuilder live that long in the most unhealthy sport.it can be done safety

The wisdom this man has is of significant value. Much respect ✊
