  • Now there's a quality phisique!

  • fuck the size if i get posing like that from anyone, thats great, wow amazing posing. i like the old routines

  • do you prefer the size of old bodybuilders quads or the size of nowadays bodybuilders

  • I read muscle fitness and it had an article about old body building. The question was why didnt old body builders not do cardio as part of their workout routine? and the guy said because they were always in shape not like these body builders nowadays. todays bodybuilders and ugly they dont look good. no homo but i would fuck frank, arnold, frank, scott, etc

  • got it its Pink Floyd - One of These Days

  • Amazing routine. Any1 know the song?

    

  • 1:36 goddamn

  • Great poser and well proportioned body. Zane, Arnold, Lou Ferrigno, Franco Columbu, Nubret... '70-'80 Bodybuilders are the best, Old School is the best.

  • does anyone know the name of the song?

  • Chicken LEGShahahahhaahhaah

  • who said short and small cant win.....zane lee labrada...gaspari..makawy etc...they all touched top 10

  • Love the last pose.where he sucks in his stomage.finny found out how to make mine like that :)

  • @Rocky13Ray Yeah Hahah it's my fav too. It's called "The vacuum" .

  • This is like a tribute to all the hard gainers out there every time I look @ a pic of Frank I want to start cutting like 20 lbs.

  • who changed the whole lower body game

  • Aesthitics r better than mass and ugly roid gut bulk. ZYZZ

  • song?

    

  • Comment removed

  • @willyummm100 "one of these days" by pink floyd.

  • @slimjamie1991 thanks!

  • @WaimanaloBoi896 - I fully concure. Zane had it all and looked far better than the chemical freaks of today. If only modern bodybuilding would go back to contour, shape, proportion and grace!

  • so many trademark poses-I'd like to see the modern day crop do a stomach vacuum

  • Fuck! That was the hardest posing I've ever seen! Great conditioning and symmetry! Would say shame he didn't win but!.. ;)

  • @MrJomiii Check out my new video about steroids and how they should be legal!! ... Stay Superior Buddy!

  • Frank=The Perfect Body!,nice simmetry,hammer vaskularity and not the freaking HGH-Mass that destroy the proportions...i know my english is bad;-)

  • looks great here. what happened to bodybuilding? what ever happened to just having a beautiful body like this great proportion,size,and symettry. guys like zane,franco,arnold,lou,serge,c­orney,mentzer, are good examples of bodybuilders not todays guys like ruhl,coleman,cutler,branch. they look freakish and unappealing to people.

  • @rgmcall I was just saying the same thing the other day. Bodybuilding back then was so much better. Even the guys that juiced still looked natural. The sport has changed so much and it looks ridiculous. The guys look like freaks. I compete in all natural bodybuilding competitions and one of the judges told me if I want to make it big, start juicing. Total turn off and almost made me give up the sport. But I still compete and refuse to take anything. But i digress. I totally agree with you 100%.

  • @TheDieselOne yeah natural bodybuilding is cool to. however back then steroids were legal and peoples doses were way different. a friend of mine is an amateurr bodybuilder and his doctor prescribes him deca durabolin and testosorone cypionate. hes under close supervision and its top notch gear, the guy looks fantastic and he has no problems or side effects because he uses anabolic steroids in moderation and he has someone helping him.

  • @rgmcall yea these guys juiced back then but it wasn't anything like now. I think they just used basic anabolics or something. These guys now are using HGH and God knows what else to make them look like shaved apes. Your friend is brave taking that stuff even under supervision. Me personally, I'm scared to death of all that stuff. I used to be nervous to drink protein shakes cuz I thought that was cheating. But again, I totally agree with you about bodybuilders looking way better back then.

  • @TheDieselOne i get you bro. its just less complicated to be a natural bodybuilder. yeah he is brave even though hes under supervision of a doctor. drugs can be used right to be safer but not completely 100 percent safe.

  • @rgmcall exactly brother.

  • he looks great, but there are guys in college without steroids that look like this these days.... check out yumon eaton

  • @ranovr32 No there aren't, you're just naive.

  • the muscles too small man.

  • Simply superb posing by one of the legends in bodybuilding. Zane's phisyque is aesthetic, symmetrical and proportioned, it appeals to the common man. It's a shame that bodybuilding has gone where it has today.

  • @rubiescube One can only be born with that kind of aesthetics muscle bellies, and symmetry. I think bodybuilders should be as massive as they are today, even though the mass naturally takes away from the aesthetics we saw in the 70's. Bodybuilders of this muscle mass need to come competitions with less body fat than their predecessors in the 70's, like Dorian.

  • Simply superb posing by one of the legends in bodybuilding. Zane's phisyque is aesthetic, symmetrical and proportioned, it appeals to the common man.  It's a shame that bodybuilding has gone where it has today.

  • Heavenly Blessed beauty

  • I agree he wouldn't make it nowadays but that's because the Mr O's of these days are not just beasts but monsters. Zane's body was just chiseled to perfection.

  • does anyone know how tall Frank Zane is?

  • This video of three time Mr. Olympia Frank Zane shows just how far the sport of bodybuilding has come. By today's standards, Zane wouldn't make the finals of a men's fitness competition let alone win the Mr. Olympia! With that said, he was the only bodybuilder I know of who could do more with less!

  • 0:18 retarded posing 

  • @gspgreatest you fucken kidding me?... thats like one of the best pose shot

  • yeah right lol

  • What is that song???? ;)

  • Micheal Angelo would drop his jaw,.. and poop his pants.

  • Sick posing, shame his natural leg size was a let down.

  • In my opinion this guy had the best looking body in the history of mankind. He's cut to a point you can't surpass and he doesn't have to much mass. Every person to watch this would be lying to say they didn't want to look like this

  • he shouldve one the title arnold had sum of his form but he wasnt completely arnold frank zane was better prepared for the competition arnold had only trained for 7 weeks just nonsense to have him beat out everyone and everyone looked great and more prepared

  • @superairman777 STEROIDS are for PUSSYS!

    I'm helping to expose the pussys that use steroids and other drugs!

    Keep it clean!

  • Lol that steroids is 4 yadaya guy has 2 million accounts. Obv does'nt work or have a gf cuz if he did she would probally be like why are you getting 9,000,000 youtube responses a day... oh that"s why o.0

  • true aesthetics

  • I still think Mentzer beat him in 79. Arnold and Joe Weider had more to say about that. No disrespect to Zane.

  • I look to Zane for a lot of inspiration. I am never gonna be a juggernaut like Arnold or Ferrigno where, I am just too naturally thin and short. Zane put the emphasis on proportion and aesthetics. He's a real legend.

  • @dkupke

    You are wrong.

    Frank Zane is huge in offseason. Check out his beachpictures when he is next to Arnold and other contestants, he is huge. But the thing is, he sacrifices a lot of mass for conditioning when coming on stage, that was his choice and strong point.

    Anyone can look huge with steroids, but looking huge and ripped is a lot harder. I myself (natural) look pretty big at 18%, but at 10% I take my shirt and pants off before ppl notice that I lift. :)

  • @dkupke Never use the word thin for someone 84 kg 1,75m and 4% bf

    Thats HUGE

  • @PowerOfRealMusic Okay, "thin" may not be the right word. But compared to behemoths like Ferrigno or Arnold, Zane was definitely much leaner-but that was a huge part of his greatness, because it made his muscles so much more chiseled and defined.

  • @dkupke not really some mass monsters manage to maintain the striations and seperations very good aswell as the proportion. look at dexter jackson and phil heath in the 2011 olympia. Its really about shear size and fair proportions

  • @steroidsR4shitheads Ex-Mr Olympia a loser? You will never be as big as him. He only looks skinny compared to the other competitors. If you were beside him at this era you would be dwarfed by him.

  • hes tiny

  • The music is so deep, yet badass!! Zane is a machine!!!

  • Zane never had the biggest body. He had the most proportionate body. This is real body building. What we see today is steroid induced non-sense.

  • Love the word "current" , it is so epic hehe, almost tears in my eyes. There is no such thing as" current" in this world, everything comes, has its time and disapears....

  • awesome poses. they way he does the poses and change to each other.. great!!

  • el numero uno

  • He is better than a greek statue cuz he is a pure masterpiece but is real/live, not just a stone-made object!!!

  • he did roids but that's still a LOT of dedication to get near that. he's the best cuz he had to fight tooth and nail for every bit of muscle he earned. i can relate cuz i'm an ectomorph. gaining weight can be done but it's tough work!

  • Frank Zane NEVER said that he did not take steroids. In fact at his seminar in 1980 in Hamilton when he guest posed at the Mr Canada he was asked if he took steroids. His response "Of course I take steroids I'm not going to sit here and lie to you like other's and say I don't. But he said that he took relatively small does for short periods of time before a contest to lose fat while retaining mass. He still trained very hard and dieted and he was/is a very kind decent intelligent man

  • he's a living art,jsut like a greek statue

  • Just look at the man.I was around at that time and he was just so much smaller than the rest of the other guys..BUT his body was so symetrical and defined not like these gut bloated guys we have now.if he was it didn't do much for him.

  • @onebigkahuna69 He was 180-190 lbs shredded as fuck. You can't really hold that much mass with such good conditioning without juicing.

  • @Nydicc Disagree. Bigtime disagree.

  • @Nydicc

    You're obviously an idiot.

  • I honestly believe he's the only one to ever win the Mr.Olympia title and not be on steroids.

  • @onebigkahuna69 Lol'd. You're retarded if you think Zane wasn't on juice.

  • That is what I define as Bodybuilding. Muscularity and aesthetically pleasing. Current body builders are like experiments that went wrong...

  • songs name?

  • @phleidhs

    pink floyd - One Of These Days

  • @olofgote I tried it dosnt seem to be that song. A remix maybe?  Do you know what song or version plays in this vid? Thx

  • true master! perfect body!!! but why all hype about vacuum pose, actually pretty easy to perform...

  • Comment removed

  • What is this song? Someone knows?

  • Zane was perfection.

  • @spacebetweensound Zane IS perfection. still is...

  • This is one my top fav vids on Youtube!! What an amaziing physique and such an outstanding and classy posing routine!!!

  • This is what bodybuilding really is about, achieving an awesome looking body, not just have as much mass as possible. I bet frank hit a lot more chicks than todays bodybuilder

  • wow perfect symmetry

    

  • This should be the example for bodybuilders.

  • Comment removed

  • I have a white and black picture of him doing the vacuum. it's mind blowing really

  • Damn, that vacuum at the end was beast!

  • perfection lol between mass and definition!Damn lol

  • Where Frank lacked in mass he made up for it in crazy definition and awesome pose routines. He could hold a pose for an hour if he wanted, ha.

    The best waist ever in Bodybuilding, hands down.

    A tiny waist on todays Olympia stage... Not a chance.

  • Frank Zane was injured prior to this so he came in at under 100%

  • ZANE!

  • What a physique! I really miss these slim lines, just hate the blown up bellies of todays bodybuilder. I know why they have them, thats ok, I just think it looks better with a slim waist and maybe not 300 pound. But well, thats the course of things, isn't it. Thanks for the upload, good quality for such an old vid.

  • 3:54 is mindblowing !!!

  • ZANE AND LARRY

    THE BESTS EVER!

  • @TheNathanfelicio arnold larry and zane if you ask me.

  • best body ever

  • Zane defeated Arnold in his rookie season at the 1968 IFBB Mr. Universe held in Miami, but he never won a Mr. Olympia crown when Arnold competed in the same show.

  • @ozwaldp Arnold once called this man("a chicken with 17inch arms)....Shape beats size any day...Zane was ahead of his time

  • Pink Floyd - One of These Days

  • WHAT SONG IS THIS?!

  • Frank was most likely on roids but this is achievable naturally today with supplements and persistence.

  • @silep so true man he does not look huge like most ppl on roids

  • very achievable today without steroids... 1.75m tall and 85kg.... many years of work... but definitely achievable without steroids

  • @soseg his size is acheiveable without rouids.. but to keep that sie and condition prob need a lil help. nothign crazy but an extra kick in synthetics to help u out. but definately no abuse

  • 3 people think a good physique looks like rosie o'donnel's.

  • What pink floyd track is this?

  • this is how all Mr Olympias should look like, not the jacked up freaks we have nowadays

  • The epic Pink Floyd soundtrack prepares the audience for one of the most majestic routines in ifbb history.

  • Frank Zane was famous BECAUSE he was an Ectomorph, he's the most impressive Ectomorph the worlds ever seen.

  • a fucking leg.

  • DAMN! he's an ectomorph??? good lord he did good work then...

  • @haru884

    Arnold is also an ectomorph.

  • @HellionX arnold is not an ectomorph, he is mostly a mesomorph though not to the same extent as mike mentzer.

  • @HellionX WAT???? really? i had no idea...thought he was pure Mesomorph

  • @HellionX

    lol! no he isn't

  • @MortenRA1990

    Yes arnold is. He was a mixture of ecto-meso with the majority of his tendon insertions suggesting he is heavily influenced by a ectomorph bodytype.

  • @1.58 probably the best BB pose I have ever seen

  • the problem with frank zane is that he is an ectomorph homo, arnold would not allow frank in the gym when he was there, they used to call him the gym pervert.

  • @thehomefront  LMFAO!

  • @Tercious can you explain what lmfao means, i'm not an internet prick like yourself, i have a life.

  • Fantastic physique ... One of only 3 bodybuilders to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger in bodybuilding comp... in Mr Olympia as well. He is an inspiration to all of us who are not genetically gifted.

  • @sparkyroyal78 one of only 3 bodybuilders to beat arnold, dont make me laugh, you need to get your facts right.

  • @thehomefront Jump on wiki and read it yourself. Maybe it will help you get your facts right?

  • @thehomefront By getting my facts right do you mean this?

    wiki/Frank_Zane

    Maybe this will help you get your facts right?

  • Comment removed

  • @sparkyroyal78 sparky,sparky, dont believe everything you read, you are young and naive and have a lot to learn.

  • @thehomefront its on Frank Zanes Website, of all people im sure zane would know that he beat Arnold, even if it was just the once.

  • What i like about Zane is every pose he does he makes it look as Aesthetic and dramatic as possible.

  • I would wayyy rather look like Zane in this video than alot of todays pro bodybuilders.

  • @bbandmusclefan amen to that, frank has that chiseled marble god like body.

  • bodybuilder back than didn't have so much muscle mass than these days. it really looked better in my opinion

  • @EmotionalShredd Looked more proper and 'Greek God' like as you see in ancient statues. Todays Bodybuilders are just walking science projects with only money in mind.

  • frank was a pure ectomorph.. he will probably be the only one of all time to win mister olympia..

  • a great shape!! amazing phisique!!

  • what a beautifully athletic and aesthetic body. the modern "2 day old corpse pulled out of the river" bloated freaks we have now are so far away from this perfection that it's embarrassing. he was poetry.

  • HE WASN'T 1980 MR. O ARNOLD WAS

  • the best!

  • i wish that days will come back in Bodybuilding,it was a great inspiration

  • What a legend. This is bodybuilding, not the massive freak show mess we see today.

  • @thedaft92 yep

  • @thedaft92 YES! I think the same!

  • @thedaft92 Then it was ART, now it's regular freak show. Just look at old masters, and compare them to Coleman, Cutler and the rest.

  • @thedaft92 true, mate !

  • !!! He is not even that muscular!!

  • @HushemFlupskluk Not muscular? Are you kidding me? He was a big guy and only 5'9!

  • @Assassinrevolver his posing weight was around 190-200. modern guys his height weigh about 230 in competition shape. and they look like lab experiments gone wrong. how the concept of muscularity has devolved to a freak show.

  • Zane is Not one of the greatest posers.He Is the greatest poser of all time.And some thinks that Ed Corney was the best poser.But he was just more"dramatic".Posers:Zane 1st,Corney second,Arnold 3rd.And somethink else:Zane was better than Dickerson(82)

  • @pap0279 His invention the vacumm should be used in competitions, would take away most steriod and fatties.

  • WOW, Now thats what I call Symetry, This is human sculpting not a Science experiment.

  • In my point of view I think Frank lacked of a very good leg development, his glute ( 1.21) and hamstring were abit weak, the upper body is legendary. i guess he was looking for symetry, this is how a 200lbs should look in case he wants to go bigger he should just bulk the masterpiece already achieved. Then you h

  • j aime se mec

  • Mr Olympia today is not the same as it used to be.. its sad really..

  • @kriblerz1 Yea. Bodybuilding has become far too esoteric. Being Mr. Olympia should be about having the ideal physique. I think Schwarzy and Zane captured that perfectly, Arnold demonstrating how a person could build size and retain an appealing aesthetic (although some would argue that he's too large- they can suck it).

  • Well Zane is one of the most perfect bodies ever...not only in BB. For the theme of this video it is NOT the "one of these days" of Pink Floyd...  One of these days is the track in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=kJJDBoYmN6­w

  • frank zane = greatest bodybuilder of all time.

  • other bodybuilders have the "most muscular" pose as a showstopper but frank zane has that vacuum pose! incredible!

  • this is how a mr. olympia should look

  • I really like Frank Zane's V-Shape. It looks hella perfect, even better than Arnie i must say.

  • I have always been an admirer of Frank Zane's physique, and I would rate it higher than Schwarzenegger or Ferrigno. While the bodybuilding world seems to strive for gargantuan size, they seem to do so at the expense of natural proportion and symmetry. Zane struck the ideal balance between mass, proportion, symmetry and definition. If I had to pick one body to make as my archetype for what a Greek god would look like, had they existed, it would Frank Zane's body. He truly is an inspiration.

  • @alphacause I agree!

  • is his posing music the techno version of "one of these days" from meddle by pink floyd?

  • @CutOff16 its not a remix, he is posing to "one of these days" the music is dubbed over with the film's theme to match up...sort of

  • @CutOff16 I dont think so...mayby...the fact is that 2 years after he choose the original studio version of "one of these days" from meddle to compete at 83 mr olympia.

    I like it from "live at pompei",a great great live that u must see(if u dont have already!)
