  • Shawn ray

  • (Cont') and that is the point I want to make. When he was training for all the major contests zane trained anywhere from 3 on/1 off to 6 days a week to 6 days double split wkts. He trained each wkt heavy, little rest, slow negatives, up to 1000 reps of ab work...all on a low carb low cal diet. Now who's the strong one?

  • We need to look at this video in the right perspective. Frank Zane is at least 25 years older than shawn ray and kevin levrone. Zane has always been very secure about himself and didn't feel the need to lift 'over his head' just because levrone and shawn ray were. Someone wrote that zane was not strong. Not true. If you read his Training diaries, zane lifted very good weight in every exercise he did.

  • LOL at Shawns fuck faces...

  • Strong chicken legs on Frank Zane.

  • you can see how everything went downhill after Zanes era of bodybuilding

  • Nice wrestling singlets:-)

  • Adonis with a couple of cyclops

  • Shawn's face from 5:00 on HAHAHHAHHA

  • HOW THE FUCK did Levrone never win a sandow LOOK AT HIM

  • Zane used the leg press loaded only with 250-300? That's pathetic, most people i know including myself could do that with one leg for reps.

  • @Kreimehn he also stated he uses a lower foot position which would lower his weight..and give him a break look how old he is in this video

  • @frosti0408 I have great respect for Zane, however he always trained unusually light. I cannot accept that such a great physique is very weak, especially for its appearance.

  • @Kreimehn well zanes from a different era of bbing, if you look at his posing routines he has one of the best looking physiques ive seen. not tlike the mass monsters of today.

  • @senators2904 bodybuilders were individuals back then.

  • @Kreimehn yeah, they were. those preggo guts are pretty nasty on todays bbs.

  • @senators2904 bodybuilders of today look all the same. There are no different ways of training like in the 70's. Today everyone trains the same. They are so massive today that it is impossible to judge the better physique. This is why i say that bodybuilders in the 70's were individuals compared to today's bodybuilders.

  • @Kreimehn And that's why he was a MR.O and who are you? Noone :D

  • @POZDRAW Steroids is why he was Mr. O

  • @Kreimehn I like how you don't deny that you're Noone :)

    And you can take steroids and still will be noone hahahah :D

  • @POZDRAW I don't know what nooon:) means. I speak English, retard. My muscle mass, and strength gets me double-takes all the time, so fuck off.

  • "I really flex my quads, because thats what brings the definition".

    Wow. These guys literally are just all steroids and genetics. they talk so much shit, arnold used to do it as well. no disrespect..but sometimes i think they know less about training than most natural bbers

  • I know Zane wasn't competing in the sport at the time this video was shot but damn he so small in comparison to Kevin and Shawn, huh? Well, he probably wasn't juicing like the other guys also so I'll give him the benifit of the doubt right there.

  • @gfine2000 that's age man

    look at Kevin now, he's so much smaller than Cutler for example

  • could it be frank zane got the olympias because of racism.

  • @brownthunderism errr. no, if that was the case. Sergio Olivia wouldn't have won 3 mr olympia's in a row, during the 60's and early 70's when racism in America was at its worse.

  • @brownthunderism no not at all! He was and always will be the most aesthetically pleasing bodybuilder ever and not to mention he won them all in the late 70's. Racism is still an issue but not at all something that was present in bodybuilding. Have you ever heard of Sergio Oliva. He won all of his in the late 60's and was black!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Guys, Zane's quite old here comparing to his co-anchors! Neither of them was 100% size of their prime at his age!

    I prefer Shawn's muscle shape,size and definition sooo much more than Kevins... The first reminds me of Evander Holyfield :)

  • shawn ray reminds me of carlton from ..fresh prince of bel air,,,

  • @jacquesquebec You are a fucking prick, Schwarzenegger lost one time bcuz of that beachboy?

  • @thebetterhaloplayer I'm fucking lol for many times

    FRANK ZANE ROCKS!!!!

  • "kevin you're so big i can't get around you, ahah, you like that huh? yeah put it in my ass shawn" Load em up

  • @mm110290 hahahaha made my day XD

  • zane at best had a beach build. fuck off old timer

  • @logant44 clueless brah

  • @logant44 FUCKKK YOU idiot, do you even fucking know WHO THE FUCK FRANK ZANE IS? TRY A THREE TIME Mr. OLYMPIA you fucking faggot idiot. I'd like to see you win mr. olympia three times over, the only working out you probably do is the pushing and thrusting you do with your gay dick into your boyfriends hairy butthole. ASSHOLE!

  • @philruppe He's right dont talk shit that mr frank isnt shit compared to the todays bodybuilders thats a fact ;) Bigger is better fuck defenition :D

  • @thebetterhaloplayer lol "bigger is better" in that case kevin james should be competing in mr. olympia. Being big will get you a ticket at the olympia, but it's the definition and proportion that will win it, therefore, being big does not = better.

  • Wow, kevin is super young here. It's strange seeing him on his youtube channel compared to here.

  • haha 5:03 shawn just jizzed in his pants

  • Frank Zane at his best for his height and bone structure actually had a lot of good quality shapely muscle mass. You may be correct that he would not place in today's amateur NPC Nationals as there is an over emphasis is mass which is in part due to more productive drugs and increased dosages

  • Zane was not little in his prime, he was aesthetic, ripped and symmetric. Too bad to see that body building these days is going down hill. Zane's body is god like.

  • Its not fair to slag off Zane. The guy has a totally different outlook on shape/ size etc. Also the difference in roids in the 70's / 80's compared to when this video was made would also have made a difference to how big Zane could be. In his own right, Zane was a decent bodybuilder. Not my fave, but still decent.

  • fucking hell, kev's outfit...jesus h christ

  • It's a matter of opinion as far as Zane goes. He is pretty much my favorite bodybuilder next to Arnold S. I liked Bob Paris as well. It's not just about size.

  • where can i get those shorts haha there so bad ass

  • zane actually looked kinda natural in his time, but those two have to be juiced up

  • Zane is 50 in this video.

  • zane is my inspiration. did he juice? also, are you consudered all natural if you take 100% whey shakes?

  • @Madvolts1 yes u retard u r natural if u take protein shakes, and yes, any guy who has EVER been on the olympia stage has done some type of steroids

  • @sk84life48307 thanks for responding but calling me a retard is unnecessary so go fuck yourself.

  • @sk84life48307 Yeah, go fuck yourself

  • @Madvolts1 no, protein is a steroid, didn't you know?

  • ray and levrone dont look retarded at all

  • If reggie miller was a body builder he'd be Shawn Ray.

  • Juiced up baboons LOL

    Gay.

  • Frank Zane at his best, wouldn't even put todays amateurs in NPC nationals

  • @BrianDWalker3445 bite your tongue

  • @Jram91 I take it you don't follow todays bodybuilding. Todays BB are way bigger and tighter. Most bodybuilders didn't even have legs back then. This vid should be an example of the evoultion of the sport. Frank at his best would always like tiny next to both bb especially Kevin

  • I just don't see how someone could say Frank Zane has a better phyisque than Kevin Levrone. To me it's quite obvious that Kevin at his best has every bodypart way bigger and way better than Frank. Ppl always talk about Franks conditioning he had small arms, small back and no legs. He never even had striated glutes

  • @BrianDWalker3445 True, Zane was overrated. The worst Mr O had to be Chris Dickerson.

  • @xanthromera why do you say that

  • @01hezekiah Dickerson was 190lb soaking wet, he had no arms, no shoulders, and the ugliest tit shaped pecs ever. I was never a rap for Zane but he should have beaten Dickerson in '82. Dickerson had announced ahead of the show that he was retiring so giving him the title may have been a political decision.

    In Mr O comps 1980, 1981 and 1982 were the dark years best forgotten.

  • Frank Zane looks small and like shit> I was never a big fan of him or they way he trains. I think he trains like a pussy.I always thought he looks more like a model than a bb. All his body parts were small. I don't even know why he's in this video. ....Leg bicep? It's called a hamgstring

  • @BrianDWalker3445 Actually the leg bicep, or biceps femoris, is one of the muscles that make up the hamstring. I think Frank Zane was simply talking about isolating this one muscle from the three muscles that make up the hamstring in the exercise.

  • 5:08 ive got some bad dream from his face

  • hahahah the head of levrone is way to small for his body hahahahahahahha

  • такая манера, смешные )))))

  • HAHA These clowns are trying to make Mr. O x 3 look like a wimp.

  • @shinshoryuken Clowns? The mid and late 90's was the toughest era of bodybuilding. They may have not got O's like Frank but the faced more and better comp. It;s like taking a running back like Larry Zonka and putting him in the NFL now and taking a running back like Adrain Peterson and putting him in the 60's. It's a different world my friend.

  • Zane is still alive and kickin, healthy, happy and in shape. Let's see if Shawn and Kevin will be the same at his age.

  • frank zanes had a much better physique than either of these two shirt lifters, and still does today probably

  • LOL at those clown suits BB's rocked back then! They look like big babies! :D (very big)

  • zanes form is perfect in every workout

  • Almost feels like they asked Frank to come to the show just to bash him.

    Frank is not know for his legs and all he has to do here is leg excercises(!)

    And when Frank tries to explain his thoughts about why he does the exercises the way he does, it feels like they don't really understand what he's saying.

    Levrone's "let's add some weight" is almost the complete opposite of the point Frank is trying to make. It would be better to show Frank Zane in a different setting I think :)

  • Notice how Zane's form on the exercises are more full range and stricter, while Levrone and Ray's are more half movements

  • @jontycampbell

    But they still have bigger legs (even compared to when Zane was mr.O) But I guess he didn't have access to the same drugs

  • Frank is like 50 here.

  • 15 yrs older? More like 25 or 30. This was in 92 or 93, Kevin was like 22 then.

  • @Bigbriansc Kev just turned 41 this summer. This was 19 years ago

  • @Bigbriansc Kevin was born in 1964. If this was 93, he was 28 or 29.

  • @GaeasBlessing No he's born in 1966, but who cares its details so yeah he was in his end 20s beginning 30s

  • whats with the pants?....

  • when was that ? 1993 ?

  • i wudv loved to been body building during these times, seemed less bitchy, more fun and so camp!!! ha ha you gota see the funny side of it. frank zane a body building hero.

  • fuckng niggers and their attitude,... Zane is the king -best body ever

  • Shawn is strugling at weights kevin laughs at :P

  • Ray and Levrone both look like retarded bad guys off an old video game..

  • @sedohrj87 they look like street fighter characters

  • @sedohrj87 lmfao lolllollllhaha funny shit !

  • @sedohrj87 street fighter dudes

  • zane is the best

  • Zane is my favourite bodybuilder, but he's not in shape in this video. Frank Zane was the best bodybuilder ever in 1979, when he was in his biggest shape.

  • @ivanfoofoo

    Zane is a good 15 years older than Shawn and Kevin. They were both competing when this vid came out....Frank wasn't.

    He wasn't out of shape, just not competing anymore

  • @fourcorneredroom I meant to say that.

  • fuck zane

  • @SuperBlaze46 JAJA

  • frank zane is an old crack

  • Shut the fuck up about zanes symmetry and muscle quality. His physique is no more symmetrical or proportionate than any other of the top level bodybuilders of his time or now. Muscle is muscle, the term "muscle quality" is an obsolete one. His conditioning was no better than others who competed along side him and was no where near the standard of modern pros. I refuse to consider him any where near as good as any other of the other Mr Olympias or bodybuilders like Shawn Ray and Kevin Leverone.

  • @MrBaz1988 well maybe your right, BUT nowdays ppl learn alot from internet and stuff.. zane had to come up with lots of things himself, also was there less information about exercieses, dieeting and supliments/anabol.

  • @YannickLB yeah no doubt he had a great physique but I can just think of so many bodybuilders who competed along side him who were much much better. People seem to think that because he lacked in mass he must have used little or no steroids forgetting that he was known by his fellow bodybuilders as "the chemist" and that his lack of mass is simply based on using too little weight, not eating enough and being of an ectomorphic somatotype.

  • @MrBaz1988 he trained so heavy with arnold for so long that he can no longer even train his shoulders from the pain of the heavy weight during his younger years.

  • @MrRanger1987 Arnolds offseason weight was 260 dropping to 235 for competition but regardless the proof is in the video, I'm just a little tired of people saying Zane is the king of symmetry and proportion - Shawn Ray in his peak was shear bodybuilding perfection with perfect size, symmetry and proportions, Andrea Muntzer was more ripped, Milos Sarcev just as proportionate but bigger, Paul Demayo - a huge difference in size but the conditioning was better than Zanes the list goes on & on

  • @MrBaz1988 Yeah!!! I FOUND YOU!!!

  • @TheInferiorityFinder I dont have an inferiority complex, I just fail to see how frank zane is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, I can think of many more who were more deserving of the Mr Olympia title. If that upsets you then I suggest you seek counselling.

  • whats ectomorph?

  • Yea and that's one reason why he looks like an emaciated goof compared to the beast Levrone and Ray.

  • Frank Zane was about working out with quality not quantity like this fuckers.

  • @vergitacha fuckers? Learn some humility and respect. cmon grow up

  • @jaikaransingh Yes! fuckers....it's my opinion not yours. Worry about yourself. "Grow up" ? I'm old enough to understand that people have different opinions.

  • @vergitacha they hve respect for Mr Zane.U are old enough to understand people have different opinions but not old enough not to judge, call names and swear. like I said HUMILITY AND RESPECT- TRY IT. START NOW

  • @jaikaransingh I can call names, swear etc.. if I want, and like i said..WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF

  • @vergitacha fucker

  • @jaikaransingh ..lol...U see no one is perfect, and Fuck you too Mother Teresa

  • @vergitacha i have read in many interviews with frank zane that when he trained with arnold he trained very very heavy. he trained so heavy that he no longer can train shoulders because he has so much pain from back then. he has said it himself. the only reason his form is so different on these videos is because he had to modify things so he could do them with his fucked up shoulders. otherwise he would be doing just the same as these guys if he could still do it without pain.

  • @MrRanger1987 Exactly!, Frank Zane has a lot of knowledge.

  • These are all great guys. Good Friends, and hanging out in the best place in the world. The Gym! So see you there!

  • Frank zane is by far better than this two freaks...

  • Zane is a classic BB for his era. Unlike Ray or Kevin who would in my opinion be able to compete in todays competitions i wonder if Zane could?Frank, is a guru in the sport.His vast knowledge is well respected.

  • who ever is talking shit about zane likes there moms dick in there mouth stop dick ride zane i think that old crakcly fart as a better body then you fags

  • Wow Shawn Ray nice roid voice, estrogen a little high from the roids.

  • Frank Zane = Steve Carell on steroids :)

  • Duh were bashing on frank zane, hes an old crackly fart

  • @MRBADASS46 i bashed your mom last night

  • 1:31 - He did leg presses with 200-250?!?!? I don't get how he won Mr. olympia 3 times??? That's pathetic.

  • @raoskaos He never had much...or any mass, but he was always ridiculously well conditioned, and that's how he won.

  • @abcd827

    What does "well conditioned" mean???

  • @raoskaos It's how lean and defined they are. When well conditioned, veins are more visible, separations are more apparent, and muscle striations and definition show through. I don't know if Frank Zane really should have won 3 times, as he didn't balance conditioning and muscular size.

  • @raoskaos rao, frank won because that year weider wasnt looking for size,he was looking for shape and symetry and frank had incredible symetry and shape.  Weider was also trying to make bodybuilding and fitness as marketable as possible to a wide audience outside of bodybuilding circles. And that wasnt going to happen with the mass monsters. So after Arnold and Franco, Zane wa the logical choice posterboy. Everything in entertainment is politics, dude

  • @raoskaos frank was a bodybuilder , not a powerlifter.

    Every muscle in his body was so symmetrical and he couldn't overdevelop any muscles , check his posing routines , hes body is like a greek god

    much more aesthetically pleasing than the roid gut mass beasts these days if u ask me

  • @henrik00004

    I don't care if his body was symetrical, or that he looked like a god. Pushing 110 kg on a leg press is for pussies. My sister lifts more on a leg press.

    I agree that he looked excelent, but Mr. Olympia?!?!? That's absurd.

    I can find a hundred BB today that look as good as him. He fuckin didn't deserve it.

  • @raoskaos

    just check him pose , he looks amazing , and if u look at the vid u'll see he isn't really having a hard time doing it , prolly just showing how he does it and not how much weight he can use , and hes like 55 years old here:P

    in his prime he looked so aesthetically pleasing not like roid gut bodybuilders these days , frank zane ,vince gironda , mike mentzer , serge nubret,....

    all very aesthetically pleasing bodies yet not HUUUGE monsters like jay cutler ,...

  • @henrik00004

    I too don't like monsters like Cutler, Coleman,...I think they are disguisting...

    But Zane is just too little, by BB standards of course.

    You can't tell me that Mike Mentzer or Nubret aren't better than Zane...

  • @raoskaos

    i find them to be different , its all subjective

    i love the body of all 3 of em , i just think I like zanes more because as i said hes body is just so aesthetically pleasing .

    i think its just beautifull to look at.

    ofc serge and mike have amaaazing bodies aswell

    its just my point of view , and i respect your point of view aswell though

    just dont diss on zane , he stays amazing

  • @henrik00004

    Well, subjectivity is a big problem for this sport. That's probably why BB will never be considered(officially) a sport. That and steroids of course : ) .

    We have no objective standard to use to argue about bodybuilders. You find Zane more "pleasing", and I Nubret and Mentzer. And we'll leave it on this...

  • frank zane sucks

  • @Samuraiul1 you suck dick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • igighfriiehiuhiuh

  • I like how shawn ray says kevin is 5'9". after the years i see his height increasing more and more. He is listed as 6'0 in some places... It's obvious these guys are much shorter than most of the magazines say they are.

  • I can't say enough good about Frank Zane and enough bad about these two fools in unitards and combat boots. I don't know what's worse: their physiques or personalities. ;)

  • Frank Zane the Greatest Bodybuilder ever, a work of art, not like these other 2 fat hgh guts

  • frank zane here must be 50 years old or something.

    Zane was the best looking mr olympia ever,and the best poser too.He had the most symmetrical body and the minimum of bodyfat from 1972-82.

  • @pap0279 talking about looks i was just watching a video of his 1st mr Olympia and i though the same thing.

  • Shawn sounds gay in this vid sorry to say

  • Thats what me AND my dad thought. "O GEE UR SO BIG KEV I CAN BARELY GET AROUND U." ........-.-

  • zane is simply the best

  • thode 2 big guys look awful, just a massive meatball.

    Frank Zane's body is perfect

  • kevins not hating just gay ray so leave kev outta this lol

  • These 2 punks have little respect for a Champion like Zane. Hands up who has won the Olympia 3 times? 2 Dickheads.

  • theyre hating on Zane lol

  • why the hell they dont have this show on anymore??

  • haha shawn is pissed because he does more weight than zane but did not win the olympia hes acting like a duche

  • hahaha....they're all quietly hatin on his technique...zane is like "ok you lil' f*cks...hands up if you won the olympia...huh?anyone???"

  • hey that was pretty fun dude hahaha

  • @tertl lolllll so true

  • zane was not all natural he has said he used roid .. retard

  • in fact he was known as "the chemist"

    the fact is that he's the only ectomorpf to won the o lympia title

  • Check out Kev's come back vids on here shows him in his natural state he looks half the size that he looks on here and dare i say it... better.

  • Are you people actually bashing on Frank Zane? May God forgive your souls, kids... frank was probably the ONLY ectomorph to reach olympia stardom and did it three times. When you dont have the genetics to grow huge like Yeates or Ruhl, you have to compensate with symmetry, muscle quality and epic routine. Frank had it all. He is the representation - and may I say the main reason - of why some people might refer to the sport of bodybuilding as an ART!

  • no, hes not, I never said that. No bodybuilder in the world is. Not even the females.

  • oh sorry mate, I missinterpretaded your comment. I dont agree with you, but you´re entitled to your opinion. Cheers.

  • Cheers!

  • @DaniloCamargo  AMEN !!!

  • @DaniloCamargo so true

  • @DaniloCamargo Zane was no more proportionate than many of his contemporaries or many of the top level guys competing today. His conditioning was great but no better than many others competing alongside him and I refuse to accept that his muscle quality and conditioning was sufficient enough to compensate for his complete lack of mass. He is over rated and should never have won the Mr Olympia. Not saying he didnt have a great physique, I can just think of many who were better.

  • @MrBaz1988 zane was about 195lbs during competition... arnold was around 220... thats not a huge difference considering zane obviously had a lower bodyfat percentage than arnold so he was holding close to the same amount of muscle as that.

  • @MrRanger1987 Not only that, but Zane was 5'9 while Arnold stood nearly 6'2
