Title: Thoughts from Frank Zane
Post by: thegamechanger on August 25, 2015, 03:40:17 PM
from a seminar back in '77

"September comes around and I will begin eating lamb. This is really a tremendous ENERGY food. Lamb, liver, and fish are the best foods for MUSCULARITY and ENERGY"

"I will only train with someone who will train exactly as I do. I find that when I start following someone else's ideas, especially if it is an exercise I haven't done for some time, I begin to experience injuries."

" I run five days a week for about two miles"

"Another thing which helps my back is to hang by my feet in a pair of special boots. In fact, I started doing rowing in this position with 100 pounds and this really helped to bring up the lats."

"What do you think of Dumbbell Training?

I do quite a lot of it in my training. It gives better shape to the muscle."

" I believe that liver is very good. It has some high energy factors in it. I now only take about fifteen tablets of liver a day."

"four or five hours of training and ten to twelve hours of sleep a day."

lol...

I admire the love and passion these guys had for bodybuilding.

It was the closest the activity ever came to being a sport.

It would be great if someone who loved bodybuilding like Arnold were in control.

Strong Bro science here, I think Zane maybe the Godfather of Broscience.

2 miles a day.  That's really not much of a run.

I think he used to be hawking those inversion boot systems.

Liver from free-range, grassfed animals especially young lamb and calf, is probably the best food a human can eat in terms of it's nutritional value, mineral, anti-oxidant and vitamin content. If there was ever a food "designed" for bodybuilding and strength sports, surely this is it.

The old pro's were definitely thinking along the right lines with their liver tablets but nothing compares to the real thing. Fry some liver with onions and mushrooms in real butter and you certainly won't feel like you are on a low carb diet.

Not much of run? It all depends on how fast or slow you run those two miles. He was a bodybuilder and the running was just a supplement.  Now we have bodybuilders on treadmills walking slower than they walk out of the gym to their cars.  Never got that slow hippo walk on the treadmill.

x2 on the bro science .  Zane looked good because he had quality roids, trained and had great genetics.  No one can possibly believe he built that physique with liver tablets, lamb meat and inversion boots.

starting to REALLY doubt these claims of training 4-5hrs every day... Even Arnold's split all sounds like some story to impresss people. I don't believe he did chest/back, 3 times a week as he states. Then legs and everything esle 3 times a week.

Nobody can recover from that, especially when dieting. 

Golden era of bullshit if you ask me.

Arnold was probably full of shit just like all the other pros past and present that say one thing yet do something completely different.  When he was in the military and building his world class physique, there's no way he could have trained 4-5 hours a day anyways.

Getting the Zane physique = Working out 5 hours a day, sleeping 12 hours a night.

shows these guys never run. two miles can be hard if you give it your all. Indeed we had a fitness test which was a BFT, Basic Fitness Test, which was 3 miles in Boots, lightweights , pt vest. first 1.5 miles as a squad and then 1.5 miles best effort and you went for it. You had to run fast to pass it .
