He was a master-poser, that's why.

Arnold did the same to diminish the negative effect of his wide waist.

I've tried to get every gym I've ever been a member of to buy me one of his leg blasters. I always wanted to try one.

"Harry Johnson" would also be an excellent porn name.

I didn't know he ripped off that idea. Awesome.

From what I can gather, Zane purchased the rights to the Moore device, so it's his now.  Zane was a gentleman when I met him.  One of the best built, handsome. intelligent and articulate bodybuilders of all time. Of course one could make the argument that 99.99999999% of bodybuilders are dumber than a box of grapefruit, ergo it's not hard to be considered "intelligent and articulate" but Zane is that and more.

I was under the impression that it was his idea. If he purchased the rights that's ok though. I always wanted to try out the harness since I have shoulder issues and I thought I could use it for several exercises.

Agree.  Unless Mr. Johnson had a non-existent back, a massive injustice was done on that day.

Yes, Zane didn't invent that thing. The version being sold now was the last version Moore was selling. I can't believe he changed the name of the thing like he invented that contraption. It's one thing to buy the rights but to imply he invented it is another.

It (the design) changed over the years since Frank acquired the rights/patents.
Frank was at Basile's house, and still dissed VB. Frank's got a bit of an aloof personlaity.

I like when he was doing commentary on TV for some bodybuilding contest, they were interviewing Arnold, Frank said:

"That's like the time I beat you Arnold". He didnt care who he pissed off, even a legend like Vince B. (Mr. Canada).

Vince knew how to pose as well...
