[xritaly]

[rynosuke78]

Very Good the best in the word of Bodybuilding compliment beautiful

[325rider]

I'd literally pay money

[skorpione1966]

Sembra un dio greco…...

[RRc29]

@markosekulic told ya ! ;D

[mgofan2]

Play Crookers - We are Prostitutes with this video

[Wronzoff]

I hate bodybuilding, but to watch Frank Zane posing is just like appreciating a sculpture.

[Enanurri]

Just the best...

[emy1968]

fantastic harmony!

[sorong91]

song please????? che base ha sotto? voglio fare la mia routine con la sua colonna sonora!!!!

[luca11531]

@sorong91 dovrebbe essere: One of these days dei pink floyd :)

[peppons945]

Arnold is better!!

[saleemisgod]

from behind his calves are underdeveloped

classical proportions are neck/arms/calves same measurements chest and thighs same measurements(ie chest 48 upper thighs 24) difference between waist and expanded chest should be measurement of neck/arms/calves (ie 31 waist 48 chest 17 neck/arms/calves

[hamiltonanthonylee]

my computer exploded at 0:23

[TheGoachild]

Frank Zane + Pink Floyd ...Beauty overload

[OJAYOJAYOJAY]

Good old days

[BrooklynKid2]

Rambo's jealous =]

[atomicboy111]

the best after Arnold..

[tsuruashigeri]

la circonferenza addominale incredibilmente stretta e il muscolo grande dorsale sviluppato al massimo rendono il suo fisico uno dei miei preferiti,sembra una cessidra,grande atleta!!

[Spawn223311]

this guy was natural, true bodybuilder

[themrhevor]

@Spawn223311 Not properly,its no correct. During 70s also Frank Zane use Dianabol like others champions but his body remain the best for a top bodybuilder. That's incredible!

[Cecam88]

name song....???? plz

[eskimogazza]

what music is this?

[edoardo82]

@eskimogazza have you ever heard of a band called pink floyd?

[martflowgar]

the best of all times

[rgmcall]

what a great physique. I think he needed some bigger legs thats all.

[Bones98]

anyone get goosebumps whenever you see him bust out his pose at 0:22?

I do.

[Diabloz98]

pipparoli oliati!

[billiondollarman]

whenever i doubt what im doing in the gym is worth it, i just come and watch this video and it totally changes my perception! Frank zane is an absolute legend! Mr olympia should have weight or height classes, so people like this can be called champion cause they so dearly deserve it!

[humphrex]

@billiondollarman

he won mr. olympia

[samus1003]

@billiondollarman he did win 3 times

[musclesize90]

he has the ideal body

[Tabz1793]

the best body ever.. n i love his waist line.. i wish i can get like it one day :)

[robertsteven]

Absolutely Beautiful!!! As a bodybuilding fan, I think it's a shame that today it seems to be all about size, and symmetry isn't counted at all. Can anyone really tell me that Ronnie Coleman has a better physique than Frank Zane had? Ronnie is bigger, and I am a fan of Ronnie, but Frank Zane had such an elegant physique. Actually, if you've seen recent pictures of Frank, he's still got an elegant physique. As time goes by, I am really appreciating the bodybuilders of the 50's, 60's, and 70's.

[jhgosnell]

best poser ever i think

[abi4life]

I have noticed a lot of bodybuilder focus on their transitions between poses, and even once they get to their pose its standard stuff.

Frank Zane could not only transition well, perhaps better than anyone, but the fact is he also ended nearly every transition with a poster-like pose. From the point of his toe to the tip of his finger. If a pro photographer was shooting him, Frank would need no coaching.

Frank Zane has many many fans.

[estebamiel]

Wow is amazing, the music is very cool for possing. good times

[mjufpn]

I dont like his amrs too big and the biceps and triceps are way out of line

[Samoyta]

@LuisRican007 I'd have to add Lee Labrada--he probably had more well-executed poses than any other BB in history.

[spooky78]

what is the music..?

[thymisfits94]

@spooky78 it's One Of These Days, by Pink Floyd from the album Meddle.

[nross82]

One of the most beautiful dispays of balance, symmetry, and art presented in the sport of bodybuilding witnessed by my eyes

[Thome90]

this has got to be the best bodybuilding video ever! he had the perfect body....and his posing to Pink floyd was just aesthetical and awesome...this is art.....he's my number one xD

[parac89]

someone can translate what speaker say at the begin of the video?

[Thome90]

@parac89 Die Startnummer Sieben für die USA startet: Frank Zane........Number seven, starting for the USA: Frank Zane

[parac89]

@Thome90

thank you very much! I love you!

[Thome90]

@parac89 thanky you... I love you too :-*

[DISNEYlover140]

Arnold #1 Zane #2

[fitnessfreak21]

One of Michealangelos scuptures

[tripleh1985]

fantastic

[GMcTav7]

Actually, this is the first song off of Pink Floyd's sixth album "Meddle", called "One Of These Days". "Echoes" is the last song on the album.

[esoj37]

@bigjohnstudd87

Part of "Echoes" by Pink Floyd. The full song is 25 mins long.

[BigSamFoSho]

In Joe Weider's book (ultimate bodybuilding), he said that zane had really poor bodybuilding genetics. He's an ectomorph, and with hard work and good diet look what he accomplished.

He is a real inspiration.

[jhgosnell]

who can hold poses like this?

[Samoyta]

@jhgosnell Only 1 other: Ed Corney. This video is a true posing clinic. Even those who might not like Zane should be in awe of this. One of the last pros I've seen who could do a true vacuum pose.

[Militantcheese]

@Samoyta most recent guy i can think of with a vacuum pose is shawn ray and he is considered "small " modern size.

[goodlookinfool]

Frank Zane is my idol!! Check him out in the new Muscle & Body magazine still looking amazing at near 70 years old with a 28 INCH waist!!. He is bodybuilding!!! He is also ashamed of what the sport has become today. The biggest freak wins....not the man with perfect proportions and definition!! I am going to do a video of myself doing this posing routine in December when I shave my chest hair.

[punchyjoe]

what a superb routine, best I've ever seen

[DISNEYlover140]

Arnold has a better body, but don't get me wrong, Frank is amazing :D

[sensaiyoshi]

@DISNEYlover140 too bad frank zane beat him in i beleive 1968 :)

[sybnios]

@sensaiyoshi Dude don't compare Frank with THE Legend! Arnold was uncomparable in the 70s and 1980! Frank is pure art but Arnold is A MYTH in Bodybuilding his body was simply perfect! a sculpture like none other!

[VStrongsideX]

has a swimmers build.

[rahrahrasputin89]

@VStrongsideX get out

[amagad1989]

which pose is the vacuum

[SirAthanasius]

@amagad1989

The one where they suck their stomachs in. It's a difficult pose to perform. Modern bodybuilders with their huge HGH guts cant do it!

[Militantcheese]

@amagad1989 the one at the end at 4.05

[rautateemu]

Zane, aestetic golden age bodybuilder... like Greek god!

[Nightmer916]

that's great, look like art, nowadays you only see this huge gorillas with legs bigger then a horse and a huge belly that's totally asimetric

[anurabisu]

This is a god!

[HillLecter]

Bodybuilding used to be about How Good your Muscles are Defined now it`s about how Fuckin Big You Look

Everyone at Mr Olympia Looked like an Elephant or a Buffalo Bull

[motorruben]

@HillLecter

looooooooooooool. i love your comment, because is so true!!

[pjb1980]

the best

[thunderleg86]

@Faelian6t5 I guess your right. I bet people were taking all sorts of things, and in all likely hood zane was a user. although, i do think it is possible to get that big without steroids, but I don't know about that lean.

[thunderleg86]

can steroid users actually do the vacuum pose?

[ftsjr]

I first got interested in bodybuilding, as a young teen, in the early 70's. Frank was one of my favorite competitors. I, myself, started hitting the weights, seriously, in the later 70's, while I was in the US Navy. Frank Zane was one of my inspirations. He was the most proportionate bodybuilder ever. All he lacked was height. Had he been at least six feet tall, I doubt anyone could've beaten him.

[MrAmestan]

frank zane is a legend of bodybuilding ,thanks

[bexfull]

@MrAmestan

exactly !! Better than Arnold ;p :))))

[Cooter1Brown]

Steroids.

[seiko808]

@Cooter1Brown hater

[thunderleg86]

@Cooter1Brown i don't think steroid users can do the vacuum pose...

[Cooter1Brown]

@thunderleg86 So you think Frank Zane was natural? lol

[thunderleg86]

@Cooter1Brown ...yes, i do. LOL ...Zane was 185? He's small. Steroid users look like freaks, zane does not.

[genericteen]

unlike todays unproportioned muscle monsters with big horrible thighs, this is a beautifull body, agree with the comment about his aweosme v taper

[dantean]

@genericteen Don't think bodybuilders' stomachs should be visible when they turn their backs to the audience, eh? I'm with you on that!

[moneymakahoneyshaka]

@genericteen yes way better body here, but like hell are todays BB unproportioned, they are in proportion, just WAY bigger all the way around, either way, Frank is the man!

[pologaso]

proporzionato non direi proprio..anzi per i miei gusti esattamente il contrario..parte superiore enorme e gambe ridicole..si vede a quei tempi il fisico perfetto era cosi..ora saranno bestioni di massa pero alcuni body builders sono a un livello di simmetria decisamente superiore..un esempio shawn ray

[FreddoX1]

He always posed to Pink Floyd, I have a man crush for Frank!

[Artem1sEntreri]

What Zane really had going for him is his shoulder to hip ratio. I bet it was significantly larger than any of his contemporaries. He had the ultimate V shape. His lats compared to his lower body really seem as if he could fly with them.

[henrik00004]

whtas the song ?

been wodering for ages lol

PLEASE REPLY XD

[NLight95]

@henrik00004 Pink Floyd, "One of These Days" from the Meddle album (1971).

[TraumaER]

this is one of the best posing routines in bodybuilding history; better than watching that homo kai greene dance upside down with his big cock moving around lol

[simbaRahh]

not bad at all considering he only weighed 180lbs compared to bodybuilders today which are around 260 min

[Novinte]

@simbaRahh He was Mr. Olympia, not bad at all....

[DavidKuhn83]

he looks like he have not eating since 1 year.

hes my Idol

[Crazyforlng2]

he is posing at the beat of the music!!!!!! lol

[SteeveAUkingso]

excellent!!!!!! 

[merovingio13]

SIMPLE...PERFECTION

[nicksavage1981]

Frank Zane!!! My favourite bbing body of all times!!!

[henrik00004]

he chose the perfect song for his posing

[Dorcia45]

PERFEKCJONIZM ,MISTRZOSTWO,ELEGANCJA, 5/5*****. P.s. Nie nadarmo był z wykształcenia matematykiem. Symetria mieśni i ten podkład muzyczny. ,,Indianin,,

[Dorcia45]

@Dorcia45 Przepraszam , Był PROFESOREM MATEMATYKI !!!.  <<Indianin,,

[dipr851130]

perfecto



[SirAthanasius]

Amazing physique... Frank Zane has the ideal male body. A true bodybuilder that focuses on functional definition instead of swollen mass. Frank 4 ever!

[slizzardman]

@SirAthanasius Could you please define functional definition?

[SirAthanasius]

@slizzardman

I didnt really use this term properly, I admit. What i meant was that he doesn't look like a muscled freak like most bodybuilders (although i respect their work and dedication). He seems like the guy who could walk without his thighs chafing against each other. I bet most bodybuilders like Coleman lack the dexterity and agility of less bulky frames, which in my opinion is a negative trait.

[Darkner2487]

bullshit

[dugib]

Effettivamente, a parte le vene che gli escono pure dal culo, non ha un brutto corpo, ed è mooolto meglio di certi coglioni che hanno tanti muscoli da sembrare deformi...

[Hybtid]

Work of art

[vladosaber]

HOPE BODYBUILDING WILL BE BACK TO ITS ORIGINS CAUSE THIS FREAKS TODAY MAKE ME SICK - SPORT IS CALLED BODYBUILDING NOT IDIOT - BUILDING!!

ZANE - GOD!!!

[jeil78]

il migliore in assoluto!!!

[pap0279]

Many thinks that ed corney was the best pozer,others thinks arnold was.

I vote frank.

[Elingcavi]

I think is the best shape this year

[lakeerie90s]

@Elingcavi I thought Zane looked better in 79 and 82; 1983 seems to be lacking some of the fullness

[patrice67300]

Quand les culturistes avaient encore des lignes !! Super posing !!!

[amoose77]

@markosekulic they MUST have missklicked by accident XD

[zoxxx78]

He is my idol!!!

[MRsaamibro]

i love the way he posed.. truly diff from arnold , franco and all.. with a real confidence............

frank u rocked and u still rocking

[pap0279]

"the chemist"

[alphacause]

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 be Frank Zane's body. He truly is an inspiration.

[RRc29]

we wont see bodys like this on Mr olimpya ;(

[hitman802]

doti genetiche ed un uso intelligente della chimica. invece adesso son tutti dei mostri deformi orribili sembrano delle vacche grasse fanno pietà al cazzo

[vrs195927]

He looks almost natural in this show,very low dossages of roids if any at all. Very good definition ,no thickness at all ,almost flat from the side,slim thighs but good enough for his upper body,signs of an almost natural BBuilding champion. he was great ,but not the greatest.

[mrswolls]

this year he looked harder and more separated than the previous two years

[isurugi]

Frank Zane is a true bodybuilder, has the right combination of size, proportion and symmetry and not like those bloated freaks like ronnie coleman and jay cutler.

He is living proof that you don't need to be a pure mesomorph or have phenomenal genetics to be a bodybuilder.

[edwarner82]

He is very nice but i dont think he only is 84 kg..

[jahovawitnesssmasher]

ok, in arnolds book he said zane was ecto-meso..he is thin, but his chest and back are really wide even in structure. So can some one please prove to me why Arnold is wrong?

[jxk2790]

@jahovawitnesssmasher

it might be because of his metabolism. metabolism is also taken into account as well. he knew zane personally so he made his assumptions based on that. i think arnold even said himself that he himself was an ecto-meso. loooking at arnold's child hood photos he was real lanky and thin. you are almost never fully one bodytype. iits alwayys almost a mixed bodybtype. i think really all that stuff/bodytype stuff is confusing and misleading and a waste of time imo.

[jahovawitnesssmasher]

@jxk2790 , good point.

[jahovawitnesssmasher]

I believe frank should have had the titles of 1980 and 1982 making him a 5 time Olympia winner. Zane Was a master poser and in my opinion had conquered symmetry and proportion.

[lalobueno69]

si señor, el mejor.

[pap0279]

he is the best poser,and bcs he s an ectomorph with little bones and bodyfat he is cut like diamond-absolute definition.he s also the "mr symmetry",but in this case,i would like to c just an inche biger glutes,legs and calves.

[fixer16]

Thats what I call posing!

[HengistTheGreat]

And he still looks in great shape today!

[DavidKuhn83]

ok Arnold

[TheCCRevival]

le corps parfait, l'esthétisme à l'état pur....

le travail de toute une vie...

UNE ŒUVRE D'ART !!

la musique es  "One of these day " des pink floyd

[davesax200]

Nice vacuum! Don't know any bodybuilders today that can pull off poses like Zane did

[jpwhatwhat1028]

@davesax200 hardly any bodybuilders today can do that except amin

[TheFranchise714]

@davesax200 yup last one i remember was sean ray

[fixer16]

Damn, he looks like that he had 1% Bodyfat.

[DavidKuhn83]

with Anabole ure Dreams come true ;)

[fixer16]

This was when Bodybuilding was great, every Bodybuilder have his unique look. Today, the Bodybuilders all look the same.

[motorruben]

@fixer16

tottaly agree man!

[sybnios]

@fixer16 today all bodybuilders looks the same and that is disgusting! The days when BB was beautiful to watch are gone. These times were the 70s and 80s! About Frank Zane what can I say he is the PEAK an ectomorph can reach! Pure Art!

[TheZocky]

Legends never die!

[Crazyforlng2]

he is the only ectomorf who is ever won the Mr Olympia ever!!!

[pap0279]

no he s the second ectomorph who wins mr olympia-the first one is also the first mr olympia-larry scott

[kevkenrockz]

he really looks like one of the old greek god statue... awesome !

:-O

[BeigeFunk]

a lot of bodybuilders from Arnold's time took dbol like candy yet today everyone shuns dbolo solo cycles saying it's useless. How come???

[velomanmtl]

Zane might not be as "big" as others in those days, let alone today, but damn is he ever well defined and so well proportioned. I can't imagine all the work, sacrifice and dedication these guys must put in to get like that. OK, some say steroids, but still, you gotta train regardless...

[aibiza]

Frank number one!

[JimAsian1]

Cool, he went to California State University of Los Angeles like I did

[LewisS97]

Perhaps the most beautiful physique ever. Natural progression from Steve Reeves who is also amazing!

[fab1155]

beautiful body so fucknig defined

[Wuuhduuh]

One of these days!

[maxpasve]

menos es mas

[arion290]

Phantomplayz ''this guy'' as you call him has won the Mr Olympia 3 times. he can't be compared to a model in terms of pure proportion, physical condition and symmetry. models create just beautiful bodies and not a complete physique like bodybuilders.

[Phantomplayz]

Today's underwear models have better bodies than this guy!!!

[lucky88shp]

U r a fuckin idiot...u shudn't even be allowed to post a comment....do u even know anythin bout bodybuilding??!? i dont think so....

[Phantomplayz]

Just suck it already.

[Crazyforlng2]

did he use roids????????

[slingerjav]

@Crazyforlng2

Yea, stuff like Dbol. Nothing like today's mass monsters though on HGH - guys who of the same height of Zane are weighing 100lbs more.

[TheZocky]

yes

[Prelude151]

best there ever was perfect proportions/symmetry/ and the definition... insane.

the guys today have nothing on old schoolers like Zane.

[VOD713]

I want to look like this guy...

[egkemsh]

frank zane !!! he was the best and will

always be he is just sooo perfect waaay better than those monsters today

[mycrx89]

His legs needed to be stronger. He cannot compare to Steve Reeves. Steve had a perfect body. His legs were way better than this guy.
