In these pics he exhibits less than Mr O quality. Zane dieted harder and used more diuretics than his contemporaries, which is why he looked so good. Yes, he has nice aesthetics but he's no goddamn Shawn Ray.

when they always place zane against a modern in these comparison shots they always pic zane pix where he looks thin and the modern looks off season to make zane look like a twink or the modern to look like a drug abuser never fair comparisons.

i agree but you also should look at today's pros when they were a lot younger and had just won their pro card.

ronnie coleman, jonnie jackson, branch warren, guys who today are shitted on because of their grotesque muscularity, had very aesthetic physiques when coming into fruition and beginning to come into their stride as a bodybuilder and earning a pro card


centopani for example looked amazing when he just won the nationals, same with a whole bunch of others


the appeal with zane is that in his day and age his shape and lack of grotesque size is what won the competition

nowadays you would be able to find plenty of juiced up amateur bodybuilders or just aesthetic gym rats who look almost as good or better than zane

looks really good but thats the start of the transformation of his known look,1969 he had look that was common then smoother appearance less detail,,by 72 i guess he started diet experimenting with water depleting drugs,thyroid med,his late seventies look pissed on this look tenfold.great build either way.

Yeah, i think he found the right balance with his experimentation, he also gained more muscle maturity by the end of the decade.

Even Vegas pools don't have dudes that look close to this.  Permabulkers are plentiful though.

Bullshit. You see profile pics on all the forums, guys in the gym everyday. Most look terrible.

You get permabulkers.

Abusers with no structure.

Twinks that don't look like they train.

Good structure, lines, condition with lean mass is not common.

a great bodybuilder.  He is in the official top 10 list of all time.  Very aesthetically pleasing physique and nice flow.

He however would never be able to beat Arnold.  Put them together and Arnold makes him look like a child.  Once Arnold was gone for those 5 years it gave him an open window to win some Olympias.  He deserved them all, don't get me wrong, but Arnold crushed him.  After 1980 he had no chance of ever winning again.  To small to keep up with the rest of the new guys.

LOL, are you serious? yeah right, diuretics gave him that perfect muscle shape and overall balance ::)
It is pretty obvious why all the wannabees need to think it is all drugs.
When you lack the basic talent , drive or both to be a good bodybuilding , you need a good excuse.
Without the drugs excuse,plenty of lousy bodybuilders would cry themselves to sleep each night hahaha.
1000's of bodybuilders have used a lot more drugs then Zane but very few LOOK like Zane, hmmmmmm ???
Zane is one of the all time greats and 3 time Olympia winner. He is the ideal kind of physique for the classic bodybuilder.

Thanks for posting these great pics of Zane, in his prime, they are a real treat.

Zane would crush me if his measurements are correct from what is said online. Also no zits on chest. Irritation from waxing/shaving. Get it on back and shoulders but on accutane now.

He has better lines. hth.

To be honest I'd like to see the kid pull off more posing then to flat out make that call.  Just look at the posing and lines displayed by Zane in this set.  

Kid has serious potential but we are talking about one of the best classic looking Mr Olympias here

he's standing in favourable light and angles without hitting actual poses by himself

Haven't seen any mandatory's from him and that highlights weaknesses big time.

But i have seen a fair few physiques that are personally more aesthetic to me than Zane.

Not gazzilions but a fair few.

Bro, get off of the accutane. That shit will  mess you up big time. Try vitamin b5 instead. It does wonders.

Zane needed to be very careful when turning sideways. He had a tendency to disappear.


Other than that, no one could beat him on symmetry then, and no one can beat him today.

To say someone is better than a prime zane is to say that guy is better than robby, viator, dickerson, franco, padilla, boyer, bertil, davis, platz, tinnerino, bannout, etc, etc

LOL, are you serious? yeah right, diuretics gave him that perfect muscle shape and overall balance ::)
It is pretty obvious why all the wannabees need to think it is all drugs.
When you lack the basic talent , drive or both to be a good bodybuilding , you need a good excuse.
Without the drugs excuse,plenty of lousy bodybuilders would cry themselves to sleep each night hahaha.
1000's of bodybuilders have used a lot more drugs then Zane but very few LOOK like Zane, hmmmmmm ???
Zane is one of the all time greats and 3 time Olympia winner. He is the ideal kind of physique for the classic bodybuilder.

Thanks for posting these great pics of Zane, in his prime, they are a real treat.

Sorry, don't talk to trolls. Back to MD with you.

A lot people today think that if they weigh more than Zane, they're better. Quality is a concept almost completely lost in modern bodybuilding.
As evidenced by Branch Warren two time Arnold classic winner! What a fucking joke!

None of those guys structure really leaps out at me.

LOL Adam! Bitch u crazy. You have Golum aesthetics and you're picking on me because I'm short and bald? Look at my physique, it's balanced and aesthetic! Do we need to post comparison pics?

Furthermore, my point was that Zane isn't at his best in these pics and that his best is a product of diuretics, a point you haven't and cannot counter.

Are you kidding me?

Frank Zane has one of the most symmetrical and asthetic physiques of all times. It wasnt diuretics that made him what he was lol.....

You're delusional if think that.

Yes he was symmetrical and aesthetic. But he only displayed dominance when completely dry and hard vs bloofy competitors.

Never saw what the big deal was with Zane. His proportions are FAR from perfect.

He' tried to be just as big as everyone else when he started, and then when he couldn't he started with the "I'm mr symmetry" angle, his arms are tiny...legs are weak, big hips, funky abs and thin across the shoulder girdle.

These complaints are all relative of course, he was a top bodybuilder...but I can think of 50 pros with better lines than him, in my opinion of course.

he's a another media creation cooked up by the Weiders..."look at his lines ,he's a walking work of art" you say it enough times...people start to believe it.

Very good post

I'm a zane fan, but understand your points, I don't agree with them all, but as you said, its personal preference

However I must say, I'm not a fan of that look only, I like paris, benfatto, zane but also liked francois, de mayo, gaspari.

There may be some truth to the trying to get bigger, but then going for shape instead, when size didn't come easy. But the guy was analytical, a thinker and put thought into things. Played to his strenghts.

that has alot more to do with his diet and muscle maturity then any diuretics he took.

he could have taken all of the diuretics in the world when these pics in this thread were taken and he wouldnt have looked half as good as he did when he won his olympia's.

thinking like yours is why bodybuilders nowadays look so shitty. they think that bodybuilders is all drugs.....how much growth, slin, t3, diuretics bla bla bla that you can take.

if guys nowadays dieted had instead of bragging about how much they eat on their cheat days now they'd look a million times better. but its easier to pump yourself up full of drugs then to work hard.

Elite waist genetics.

Buchanan, Oliva, Reeves, Flex, few others.

Average is the wrong word but it wasn't in the highest group.

Obliques were a little blocky, twisted a lot in his poses.

But he had a small waist, the 80's lineup isn't structurally very good however.

It wasn't tiny.

Ive seen natural guys go and pig out after a show and put on 20lbs of h2o by the next morning.

So your argument is a moot point.

You know if you would have dieted a little harder and not relied on drugs so much you would have looked a ton better at the show you did last year. But im sure you already know that.

Average was the wrong word and I'll bet Zane's waist is just as small as anyone you mentioned but their tapers were more exaggerated but ALL were heavier , to be more fair you would have to compare Zane to someone around the same weight to more accurately gauge if it's ' average '

Compared to someone like Samir who was 188lbs in 1983 , Zane's waist was much smaller

And how can you type he was structurally very good?  the hallmarks of a great structure. small waist & hips , wide clavicles , small joints , height etc , Zane has a great structure coupled with great muscle balance & proportion which in turns gives him the illusion of being bigger and a harmonious arrangement of muscles that all compliment the other , what more can you honestly ask for?

Wolf has an outstanding structure but his balance & proportion suck , Reeves had an outstanding structure and his balance & proportion were outstanding as well , Zane was like Reeves on a smaller scale like Labrada

Yeah it was the wrong word, my perfectionism clouds my viewpoints sometimes.

He had a small waist and a good taper, few bad poses in there like everyone else.

I meant that lineup is structurally flawed for the most part.

Good point about the higher muscle mass, it does make taper a lot more pronounced.

good points,and i think zane's look is one of the best,labrada had great build but compared to zane he was lb for lb and due to be ing shorter bigger than zane muscle wise,lee had thick arms for his size and great shape coupled with sick condition,had good back and good balance top to bottom.
