It's already been posted.  The concensus is that they are photoshopped.

His "Tip of the Month" segments are funny to read.  Especially when he refers to himself in the third person.

This promotion of his newsletter is a pretty big jab at weider publication & others out there:

If you are as disgusted with the mainstream bodybuilding magazines on the market today as I am, you should subscribe to Building the Body.  It promotes how to build a proportionate defined symmetrical physique -- a platform for honesty with no paid advertising.  It's not supported by supplement companies who's ads take up 75% of the pages of most bodybuilding mags, claiming it's their products that built the massive 300 pound bodies competing today.  They don't tell you about the incredible amount of drugs today's competitors use.  We don't advocate this approach, that's why we continue to publish our magazine.  After last issue (Winter 2006) subscription numbers shot up.  Subscription rates are $20 a year (4 issues) or $35 for 2 years, Canada and overseas subscription add $5 per year and $10 per year respectively for airmail postage.  Thank you for your support.

Sad indeed, these photos are like a slap in the face to his many fans. I guess all that matters is the mighty dollar.

Getbiggers, it is easy to hate on Frank and those 'doctored photos'.  Dont forget he is a business man looking for an edge to sell some product.  Everyone does it!

Remember, Zane is bodybuilding royalty.  He, like Arnold, Dave and  Sergio are 'the untouchables'.

I hope Frank continues to exploit his past career successes, and continues to manipulate those photos.

looks fcking ugly. If he alters the pics, he could shop them into something aestehtic i think.

Pathetic.

these photos don't look doctored to me.  Zane still looks great, mass monsters take note, an aesthetic physique holds up for the long term.

Your loyalty to Frank is remarkable.  However, the reality is, Frank is just a shadow of his former self.  Yes, he still trains, but has lost most size due to age, no gear and a chronic back injury.

We are all fans of Zane's genetics, but get real, he is the 'doctor of picture manipulation'.

P.S.  I think most of us are repulsed by the sight of these hideous mass monsters! Especially females and athletic males.

true that. so what if the dude wants to keep his image going. Businesses put out b.s. ads all the time. No need to hate.

Yes I do, I have discussed this in depth at MD. Just look at the photo I posted above and where I circled.

If Chick has any balls whatsoever he will call Zane on it this Monday on the radio show.  The photo is definetly altered and just shows that Zane is a phony rather this time it is not steriods(i.e. his whole career) but photoshopping and if you think about it, it is the same thing in principle. Just selling bullshit to wannabes and not disclosing what really made him a champion.

I demand he be grilled about this and not be allowed to skirt the issue...

But....since I am in Zane's sandbox.....


I will be more than willing to confirm if he looks like this...that is....if Zane's up for it

I doubt he has the gumption to meet some guy from the internet to have his physique examined.

Guys, easy on Cranky Franky. 

He is in his twilight years, lives with chronic pain and is trying to secure a little more cash for a lazy retirement.

So what, he photoshops his photos to sell some copy.  Big deal!

Hardly criminal activity on his part!  Go after the real crims like Vic Martinez and leave Grand Pa alone!

Peace.

Money for retirement?  Shouldn't he have his shit secured by now.  Call me naive but I thought he would be honest by now like Arnold but then again not everybody is like Arnold.

Arnold has integrity....... honesty, well that's debateable.

Frank, has always been interested in making the bucks.  Scammer, his his middle name.

And also, Arnold would not concern himself with doctoring his pics, he just pays the plastic surgeons for his look.

Funny pic.

Frank will be Frank.

 And also, Arnold is highly motivated by money, is an advocate of Beverly Hills plastic surgery and has had his 'honesty' questioned many times over the years.

Arnold is human like us all.  Probably just a little more vainer, devious and self -serving than your average meathead though.

If Arnold is sooooo motivated by money then why does he not collect a salary as govenor

The good press Arnold gets from not taking a salary outweighs the benefits of taking the salary, which, at 150K a year, is chump change to a guy like Arnold whose net worth is approx 500 million.

We have the same situation here in NYC. The mayor is worth 13 billion. He draws a salary of $1 a year.

For Christ sake, i think we all agree these photos of Crank have been touched up.  So what!

Current photos of Franky at various tournaments like the Arnold and The  O are all over the net; for anyone still interested in confirmation of validity of this once glorious bodybuider.

Prankster is no different to any other  broken down old man.  Yes, he has lots of aches and pains.
