For one reason or another, I always have been really impressed with this shot. One of the best BBing pics ever IMO.
M!

I think that Zane was highly underrated, (or I should probably say that he IS these days), in his presentation. He had an uncanny way of projecting himself, and making him appear a lot bigger, and more grandiose then his size would warrent. He seemed to understand that part of bodybuilding is being able to sell your act, so to speak.
-
insane shape and conditioning for 30 years ago.
However, IMO his bitter behavior in interviews since then kinda diminishes his legacy.
-
Zane was never my favorite bodybuilder, but there isnt a pro today that looks anywhere near this good. I dont care how big, or full of oil they are.

Ripped. :o

Zane's legs looking big here...
-
One of the more bizzare Zane shots...
-
Name one current pro that could even come close to hitting this shot! Shawn Ray is the last that I can think of that was even close.
I get a kick out of people who say Zane was too small - no way he was small. Not sure why he is so underrated on this board. Is he Ronnie or Dorian? Of course not, but to claim that he is not impressive is nonsense.

Great pic and this is Zane well into his 40's.

Bodybuilder icons should be seen and not heard. :-X

Absolutely agree!!!!!!!

zane's physique can be achieved with 12 weeks of strict dieting and training.

this one aint bad either

This is supposed to be bodyBUILDING. Zane has a complete lack of any thickness to his physique. Shawn Ray was 1000x times better than Zane.

but other BBers from his time could
SAD cause all the 'naturals' and 'lean all the time'/permaskinny's love this guy and cant flash just 1 pic..it has to be an smorgasbord of 14 'reposts'
GOD of the permaskinny/natural but 'I have used prohormones' getbiggers

he probably got a lot of pussy in his day....i dont know if that contributes to this thread in any positive way, but it what comes to my mind whenever i see any of those classic zane pics.

Hi Frank Zane. :o

You guys dont seem to understand, that was a long time ago. Zane was not known for his mass, he was known for having a smaller detailed physique. He was something that the general public could identify with. He certainly would not be suspected for aas abuse, although he used. If you remember Steve Davis, he was similar to Zane.
Remember who beat Arnold, Zane!

do you think this is the day Ferrigno ordered his new calves?

sure he is impressive in his own way and in his time!.. i would rather look like him than ronnie or dorian or even nasser ;D
-
Zane wasnt/isnt my favorite, (as much of a douche that he may be, Shawn Ray probably had the best overall physique IMO), but there isnt ONE pro today that looks anywhere near as good, regardless of how big they may or may not be. (Unless we are still counting Richard Jones...)
-
He's too old too small and too boring !!!! Lee's Crucfix is the best pose ever.

You make a great point , among people who appreciate a classic physique Zane's is unequaled , he doesn't appeal to a lot of younger guys because he's to light
You touched on the fact he looked pretty ' normal ' in street clothes and pretty unassuming , as Sergio pointed out , until be posed and he looked twice as big , just outstanding proportions and posing
He's one of my all-time favorite bodybuilders

The dude was incredible an artist at best, he knew how to beat the bigger guys with a smaller physique.

Right in his case it was all about illusion and masterful posing

Really? lol you mean his size and conditioning > because you have to be born with those proportions and balance and aesthetics

I dont think so Zanes physique couldnt be duplicated in 12 weeks...look at this more than 12 weeks - results?
-
fuck eveyone else
i would rather have zanes body over any other bb...
-
Hmm.... I don't know? He's among the elite, rightfully so. I do think he gets the props he deserves. Not too much, not too less. My opinion
-
Zane is a legend and will be remembered as such, especially for his InZane workouts.
