Train with Zane - Frank Zane

[rubiescube]

I was a big Frank Zane fan in the late 70's & early 80's. Always had the classic aesthetic & symmetrical body that appealed to most and a master poser. Should have won four Olympias in a row. He got robbed in 1980.

[rw5791]

zane must be appalled at the state of affairs in bodybuilding today.

[StanBennet]

Hey kids, you're all fat and lazy!

[AltarOfThoughts]

He's like the Robin Hood of bodybuilding, having won Mr Olympia title thrice with weight under 200 lbs - - Zane took all his heavier colleagues and turned their mass drive into own wonderfull definition and shape.

He hasnt become a politician, but ... he's still in shape :]

[spenc193]

Damn, you ever seen a better looking, healthier 60 year old guy? He's an example of how human intelligence can augment normal aging and produce above average health over one's whole life. This is how evolution should be changing us. Our intelligence should be being used to consistently improve health, but unfortunately we're unhealthier now than we were 100,000 years ago.

[yellowraven8]

KING ZANE !!

[keeseyd]

Frank looks great , a timeless human being. I would love to meet him and pick his brain, A true legend

[wildmandazza]

Thank you frank..you are a true legend !

[12604748]

Amazing body @ age of 65

[grimeyb0i]

king

[onstageagain]

This man is fantastic looking here. Age 60... Far better than Arnold Schwarzenegger at present 63. Being the lousy Governor that he was in Ca... he let himself go a bit.

[dethmark]

This is my motivation, this man, he was a real bodybuilder, not some freaks overdosing on steroids and overbulking...human body is supposed to look lean and shredded, aesthetically pleasing.

[hellamator]

I just watched a documentary of Kai Greene. While I respect his mind set and philosophical approach, it was all too much. I had to come back to the original philosopher, Mr, Zane. Thank you Frank Zane for everything you have done, you are the one of the greastest bodybuilders from the greatest era.

[ThePerichas1]

the best

[vinnynumbnuts]

i think he was the one who beat arnold schwarzeneger when arnold first came to america. arnold learned a big lesson from zane which was that mass without definition is a disadvantage. // frank's was certainly a spectacular physique up on stage. i think he was more perfect than arnold. another one i think who was better than arnold was the majestic serge nubret. nubret up on stage, with his panther-like physique and dark shadowy eyes looking out at the audience, was very impressive to see. 

[kungfuman82]

@vinnynumbnuts You are correct in that the Zane was one of the few to beat Arnold, even though he was outweighed by something like 60-70 pounds. I agree that his physique along with Serge Nubret were superior to Arnold's. I've always been more inspired by the lean and ripped physiques more than the big, massive types anyway.

[yryteny]

po prostu ma isc pompa na double blast

[Pihasanddunes1]

Frank is so exact he even goes to the length of saying repetitions instead of reps. This is how careful the man was/is.

[sirpico123]

he looks normal like a professional athlete, not like a swollen freak, cool dude

[cookiemunster1234]

Thnks frank for the teach...

[rneoman]

he's training philosiphy is much like mike mentzers, slow negative and low amounts of sets. no need for 5 sets of say bench press if you push yourself to the max on the working set and reducing the weight is pointless, proof is in the pudding of frank zane in his 60's

[PatchadoubleH]

Its a pitty that on youtube is not more movies from this DVD, I really respect Mr. Zane and Iwanna buy that dvd but i still dont know,I havent seen anything except this... :/

[semprenerrazuri]

and he was an ectomorph :O:O ??? I am an ectomorph...and its so hard to put on weight :(

[Meshwork123]

Zane's physique was widely regarded as the most aesthetically appealing of all the top bodybuilders competing back in the 70s and early 80s. And if you compare his photographs with those of the best of today's pros, he is perhaps even more impressive.

No one can argue that he is not gifted - he does have long muscles in the right places, eg triceps, deltoids and quadriceps, but as a former teacher I'm sure he would be able to help anyone make positive gains, irrespective of their potential.

[DramaDon83]

I admire him even more now because he is so good to his dog...Any man that is this sweet to his dog is truly a good man.

[RAULADOLFO]

how many bodybuilders you know that look like these at his 60's??. A lot of them got very fat.... Frank zane looks fit and.... natural

[fourcorneredroom]

most symmetrical

[mart775]

Amazing shape for 60 YO... A lot of people don't even get that in their prime!

[ncxcrunner]

I'm glad to see he's still fit and not flabby. The other day in the gym I was thinking to myself "man, this looks good, but what when I'm 60?"

[eugene680]

He still has something left from his Mr. Olympia days. Shows fitness can last a lifetime.

[doggieman1961]

i heard he was a very very nice guy.

[jpandyaraja]

i always felt that frank was a thinking mans bodybuilder......nice to see him so well

preserved...

[iamscythe]

These Giants had advice worth a million bucks if one listens and applies.

none of this michelin balloonbuilder man bollocks of today.

[WuTang011]

I like his physique the most, it's not like huge but not too tiny the same time. Just lean and perfect.

[shinshoryuken]

Frank Zane is the most intelligent bodybuilder of all time. He shattered the notion that bodybuilders were "Dumb".

[TubbyIsaacs23]

I have trained with Frank - November 2009 to be exact. I urge anybody to go and do the Zane experience with him. A fantastic guy. Brilliant and funny. Worth every dollar.

[nikkolascooke]

Hed No some great tips an bodybuilding secrets thats for sure.

[jackylin24]

def one of the greatests of all time. different style and feel than Arnold. Both are great in their own rights

[Soldano88]

Schwarzenegger is a multi millionare and a slob he he.Zane is the real deal: )

[atcan17]

This guy was superbly conditioned when competing. Remember, he beat Arnold S for the IFBB Mr. Universe title!

Zane was cut while Arnold was smooth as a baby's behind.

[atcan17]

This guy was simply amazing when competing against all of those drug monsters. Superbly conditioned for all of the contests he entered, and truly a deserving winner of the Mr. O title, 3 X!!!!! Remember, he beat Arnold S badly for the IFBB Mr. Universe title. Zane was cut to ribbons while Arnold was smooth as a baby's bottom.

[happymaninthewoods]

WOW FRANK ZANE!!!! I am starting to work out and you are the man!

[hippygal7]

tyler xoxooxox

[zekeyou82]

imagine what cutler,coleman and other massive guys will look like in 30 years time, probably fat fuckers. Zane still looks in great shape today!

[ballerketballer]

[ZHANTOREmiras]

YOU ARE BEST OF THE BEST

[Dudex58]

How old is he now? He is one of my favorite bodybuilders I was almost like him. But I quit lol.

Watching him older makes me want to continue, my traing thanks for posting.

[SyscoKY]

Frank Zane was born in the month of June back in 1942, in Kingston, Pennsylvania.

In 2009, he will be 67 ...but in the video above he is 60 years old.

The video "Train with Zane" was produced for distribution in 2002.  The DVD training video is still available on Frank Zane's official web site. This small footage above was posted with Mr. Zane's permission.

[Authentiko]

Nice to you SyscoKY

Shame at me,but i am a slim person and i'll restart today training! Joggings in the snow,no choice here ;)

[Authentiko]

He still in very very good shape and my favorite bodybuilder! I met Ben Weider and his son Mark a couple time in person the one who discovered Arnold !

Yep you are the best Frank

Thank you for this video syscokY

[lorenzococcia93]

wow! I think he is the best.... perfect proportions...

[MrJaraJara]

He is only one of three men to have defeated Arnold.

Arnold respected him for this :)

[jackylin24]

zane, sergio and who else?

[DeMoNSe3d]

Does anybody know how old is he on this video?

[SyscoKY]

Frank Zane was 60 years old in the "Train with Zane" video.

[DeMoNSe3d]

Amazing... thx SyscoKY

[legendair]

arround or almost 70

[drumsanddrumming]

Frank Z and Clarence Bass are my heroes

[ChrisXMetal]

Zane is the man!

[StanBennet]

Sad, just looking at him in this video tells me he has a better body than the fat teenage slobs I see everyday.

[nabeshabu]

He and Arnold are my favorite bodybuilders.

They both emphasize overall fitness above all, which means weight training, endurance training and flexibility.

[hippygal7]

whooooooooooohooooo the best..christine and frank!!!!!

[humboldtpajabrava]

i would like to be trained by him what an honor.

[autobahn812]

true legend...

[jamieA1A]

I saw him win the Mr. O and for at least a while bodybuilding returned to its roots and orginal purpose.

[jamieA1A]

I saw him win the Mr. O. and for at least a while Bodybuilding returned to its true roots and meaning.

[philosophyphilosophy]

Where is the next video?

[philosophyphilosophy]

i wish i had a dog like that :D

[boysunog61]

he is the best symetry of all time in BB

[petecabrina]

A true inspiration to anyone in maintaining a perfect physique for such a long period of time, I can only hope to look as good as he does in my 60's; I will certainly try.

[ronpaulspanish]

Was he a natural bodybuilder? He looked great and natural back in the old days.

[lumifax]

He still got a great body

[Primetome]

WOW, What a ledgend,

[Hasitha82]

The epitome of symmetry and definition!

[helltopay1]

he comes across as a really good guy.

[StanBennet]

Of course! He was a math teacher.

[northportdave]

he seems like a genuine nice guy

[kedordu]

to me hes the greatest of all time

[kylesteinhauser]

it wouldn't be too hard to argue that point. he's awesome.

[assa123assa123]

totally agree. a thinking athlete he is.

[NandoPro86]

it was so thin (competition weight: 180-190 pounds!) that I have some doubt he taken steroids or growth hormones... maybe just something to drain... anyway he looked really natural.

Today the body builders are all so blown! Bleaaah...

[nenzi671]

The IFBB judges always loved Frank Zane's physique. Despite only weighing in around 190-195 he consistently placed very high in every show due to high symetry & conditioning. One of only three men to ever beat Arnold in a show (Oliva, Yorton) By todays standards he looks like a natural athlete. Different standards now and then.

[allah12311]

I LOVE U Frank Zane!!!!!!!!!!! hes my hero :D

[PowerCrushYou]

Probably one of the most respected men in bodybuilding. This man had style and class.

[hhcboj]

He's great

[GemmBakko]

Absolutely! I've always liked him. :)

[nenzi671]

The IFBB judges always loved Frank Zane. Despite only weighing 190 & being outsized by most of his competitors, he consistently placed very high in all his shows due to superior conditioning. He looks like a natural athlete compared to todays pro's. One of only 3 men to ever beat Arnold in a show.(Yorton & Oliva) Different standards back then .

[unfortunatebeam]

@nenzi671 I wonder though if an up and coming pro today were to follow more in the line of Zane's type of bodybuilder would get more appreciation if he was as perfectly symmetrical as Zane, but with a little more mass. If you get the right judges who have the intelligence to acknowledge this, who knows, it could happen, maybe sooner than later. They're really limiting things when they just focus on mass all the time, and that's getting kind of old anyway. Time to change the standards again.

[tjmuller]

Zane is the man.

[natureboyinyourface]

looks like a college professor now.

[ghee12312]

man he looks good for his age!

[GEORGEDLUGOS]

i love the cover of autumn 2008 building the body posing with the power x-i was also an arnold fan but joe weider had the power x ad in his muscle and fitness magazine and when i was about 13 i couldnt believe it looked liked u were chiseled from stone-u look great in just about every picture but it is probably my favorite of you and i think i still have the weider magazine i bought it after junior high maplwood health food store maplewood nj keep up the great training and work!

[wildmandazza]

where would the world be with-out Frank and Christine Zane!

Thank You

[wildmandazza]

First and formost: Thank you Frank and Christine for you inspiration and advice, it's kept me healthy for 30 years and won me many Bodybuilding contests in Australia. Frank, you have stood by Bodybuilding for many years and givin the sport a real longevity and integrity-your roll model is a healthy one indeed,gives our children hope and inspiration. Once again thank you very much!

[XxCaSiLoCoxX]

a pesar de los años.. tiene buena condicion fisica..

[liangjun24]

frank zane is a true hero!!!!

[Worldinvest]

Thank you for your great knowledge. Frank, plese continue with your videos. I'm your big fan, you're the best bodybuilder ever, the legend, you have caught true idea of sport. I know that there are not so many people like you, but our "world" has got model, our world has got Frank Zane, thank you for it.

[Vibrenium]

Damn. This guy's strength shows, even despite his age. That's a result of many years of true hard work. This guy sure as hell didn't need any steroids like most of the so called "pumped" guys out there.

+1 for Zane, cause he has natural strength - and it SHOWS.

[ubermeischer]

Still looking good at his age!

[crysisgoty]

wise words

[maddaturki]

One of my heroes when I was in highschool. I used to follow his book to the letter!! Thanks Frank for your inspiration!!

[resnoex1]

ZANE,ARNIE AND COLUMBO my heros,great bodies!!

BB today sucks,big and ugly and drugs.

Zane had harmony,a true statue.

[taildragger51]

The first time i saw this guy was in 1969 during a NABBA Universe show. I recall my dad got his autograph and said Frank was such a great, approachable guy. To me he IS what bodybuilding should be about..i.e health & fitness. It's a shame that many bodybuilders DONT really take care of their health..many of them smoke heavily. Frank gives sound advice here and still looks far healthier than most 20 year olds.

[todopor]

He is my idol

[JxT1957]

Frank Zane was the Michaelangelo's David of bodybuilders.Perfect symmetry and definition.

A bodybuilding legend.

[taildragger51]

Very few were blessed with the genetic symmetry that Frank Zane has. Most bodybuilders look like overweight, deformed freaks with acne. Zane was PERFECTION!! Plus he's outlived many of the contemporaries.

[Jacol23]

The LEGEND!!!!!!!!

[blades168]

Thanks for uploading. Frank Zane had the perfect body in the late '70 and '80. I'll definitely buy that dvd.

[AmitG1984]

5 stars for uploading this video, great thing his advice and ways are very very good for beginners and people who are not satisfied with their gym coaches.XD

[FleshTorturer]

This man is my bodybuilding idol. Excellent advice of course.

[only4fool]

In my opinion FRANK ZANE has the GREATEST physique i have ever seen.

Inner, outer muscle development, proportion, symmetry, posing, balance and more that i cant even explain.

Long live mr ZANE.

[vanillarice1]

any more of these?

[SyscoKY]

Frank Zane created the training video "Train with Zane" back in 2004 and it's still available via his web site. This is the only video that I know of that he offers. It's 2008 and Mr. Zane still keeps very active with promoting fitness. He offers supplements, equipment, etc., coaching and personal training from his home in La Mesa, California. There has also been a resurge in some of the fitness magazines concerning Mr. Zane. Flex Mag-Aug 2008 will have an article on Mr. Zane

[deg050607]

FRANK ZANE is one of my favorite bodybuilders.He is a nice person and he really knows what he is doing.

[SyscoKY]

For those that have inquired ...Frank Zane is still very active. His latest book is "High DEF" which he completed in early 2008. Mr. Z also writes articles for various health magazines, still trains clients on a one-to-one basis and provides other fitness related products and services via his business and personal gym. For further info go to Mr. Zane's web site.

Permission was granted to post this video clip from Mr. Zane's training DVD ...created in 2004.

Mr. Zane will be 66 on June 28, 2008

[KingUser2008]

You did a fantastic job posting this video! well done.

[sdegroot1]

The Chemist speaks

[andrikozthegr8]

Zane was also a very balanced individual , he had this inner balance/symmetry that is always noticeable whether he is posing or just by hearing the man talk.

[theape08]

Frank Zane is my favorite bodybuilder. He was all about balance and perfection, something today's bodybuilders have long forgotten. don't get me wrong, today's bodybuilders work really hard to get where they are but the roid damage and excess mass just can't be worth it.

[rockybalboa1984g]

Best bodybuilder ever....

He is exactly what a body builder shoul be....

Thanks to exist!

[qatarguy81]

Respect to you Mr.Zane

[rocketiii]

you are the best bodybuilder of every time.
