Frank Zane
"The Chemist"
Born: 6/28/42
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 185 lbs.

Comments: "Frank Zane never played the mass game. While other bodybuilders were pushing to get past 200 lbs. Frank was content staying below 190. And what did he get for his perseverence? Only three Mr. Olympia titles. With beautiful aesthetics and a graceful yet strong posing routine, Frank Zane single-handedly turned the tide in bodybuilding during the late 70's from a direction toward size to one of refinement. Today he is successful as both a writer and instructor."

This is the best tribute/comilation you have done Jon ... absolutely terrific.

Zane had an incredible physique , and although not as big as some of his contemporaries his small joints and balance made his musculature appear comparable.

Check out his balance and size at 2;02 ( with the beard ) ... incredible.
