Not necessarily the greatest comparison, but they are both about the same height and competed at about the same weight and in similar condition. They both have relatively weak legs and similar muscularity. No, I'm not saying Layne beats Zane or anything, but it really puts Zane's size into perspective - and for that matter I'm not saying Layne is small, just that bodybuilding has evolved a lot in the past 20 years where now 22 year old naturals are the same size as top pros from the past.

In the picture above Zane is probably around 5'9 and 190. Layne competes at 5'10 / 190.

Zane beats Layne in terms of SHAPE. Obviously Zane is the superior bodybuilder, I don't think anyone would argue otherwise. I'm just talking about actual muscle size here. I don't think it's that much of a stretch to say Layne is pretty comparable to Zane's size. Don't be wooed by Zane's vacuum. Standing relaxed in contest condition they are probably a similar size. And Layne is pretty strong for natural, if indeed he is natural (I have my doubts):

Zane's legs were actually very big.

FlexGuns · « **Reply #6 on:** January 15, 2006, 06:58:46 PM »

was Zane a natural bodybuilder...his chest and arms are terrible. Female bodybuilders have more muscle than Zane.

The difference is Zane actually has muscle!

Just my personal views. Believe what you want. I, on the other hand, think that Zane was highly overrated. That picture above almost looks photoshopped he looks so bad.

Did Zane have a great physique? Yeah, for his time and compared to the average dude. He sure looked a hell of a lot better than me, but that is besides the point. The best bb in the world shouldn't look like a "natural". I mean Robby Robinson or Bertil Fox or any other top competitor at the time should have beat him.

Zane works Layne in every possible way $:-\$ . No comparison

I don't think that's the point. The point is that Zane was so small (even for his era) that he could be mistaken for a natural bb.

The only similarity between Frank and this kid is the " y " chromosome.

Its not how much they weigh its where that muscle is distributed and its not fair to compare the two Layne is young and still progressing but his structure doesn't even compare with Zanes or his back.

Ursus · « **Reply #18 on:** January 16, 2006, 09:56:59 AM »

zane looks very dense

Not to take anything away from that guy...but come on...he in no way compares to Zane...

Gord · « **Reply #21 on:** January 16, 2006, 10:05:11 AM »

Layne's conditioning is very good and, as ND said, he's still developing, but I don't really think he comes anywhere near this not only in terms of shape, lines and proportions, but also muscle density or even conditioning.

Also, I remember reading Layne was abut 6', could be wrong on that though.

That last pic is photoshopped.
