Frank "the chemist" Zane

[alfresco]

A heavier Frank Zane.

Mentzer was one of the greats. Sadly he never got his props.

x2 that O which he should have won but arnold (his comeback) stole it somehow really destroyed mike mentally. It ruined his competitive career and that was the end of his peak. very sad. such thick pretty yet powerful physique at the same time.

RIP BIG MIKE

I've said this before I'm not a fan of Zane this is my idea of the perfect physic!

if i was given a lottery win and asked pick who u wanted to look like frank or mike and you can have it.

I would want to look like Mentzer all the way over frank. He was thick just enough not overly but very aesthetic and pleasant to look at.

People always said he was small but I actually saw him once back in 1983. Maybe it was because I was only like 13 and a scrawny kid but he looked pretty freaking big to me. Definitely not a small guy. Maybe by todays standards but then again, that's like comparing Chuck Norris to the Toxic Avenger.

Honestly, I think the problem with a lot of the guys back then trying to diet down for shows was loss of size. It's still a big problem for today's guys, but it doesn't seem to result in nearly the same loss of size (visually).

This clearly isn't contest Zane, but is one of my favorite pictures of him. IMO, he's nearly perfect here, and looks "big" (not compaerd to modern BB of course, but to his dieted-down self). Granted, it helps that he's a master of posing. Makes me realize just how much more I need to work on posing. He makes all of his poses look natural and effortless, and everything just flows.

One of my favorites too

Beautiful body well proportioned...I wonder what drugs he was running. And don't say just Dianabol and Deca.

Is it true all these guys in that Era were on primo?

 

[Fit2Serve]

wow

i never really appreciated him til now... i am getting older. wasted my 20's trying to be big as i could, lifting too heavy etc. man, i wish i woulda followed his kind of theory.... just go with being naturally bit smaller but capitalize on being LEANER and perfect posing...

he looks awesome in the offseason beach pic above^
if thats not ideal, i dont know what is...

Still can't figure out how the guys back then got their arms like that. I have bigger legs, back and chest than zane but my arms are so out of place on my body.

I need that bicep peak and seperation.
