This isn’t 2007
Well by all means share the correct year of the second photo.
-
He means its not 2007 right now. But Frank (in his little quarterly Mag "Building the Body") admitted to touching up the pics back when they came out.
-
I politely ask the mods to change the thread title to Frank Zane then and then for accuracy purposes
-
bhanks better
-
That was the title on vintage BBing.
Change it here if possible. Nevertheless looks great by most standards.

I always said that pic was shopped and I caught a lot of shit for it.

Unless his waist grew smaller than Brian Buchanan's in his old age, those hips definitely lie!
This is what I think is (was) closer to the truth (repost of a terrible MS Paint hack)

Never shopped a pic in my life Hater

No matter which is true, pretty impressive either way

Looks fine with the wider waist and better than brian now by far.

UPPER BODY WORKOUT WITH FRANK ZANE
The tri bell triceps excercise 20 lbs was impressive

Wasn’t he a fag?

I remember when thos 07 pics came out. There was another one of him doing alternate dumbell curls and his tricep looked huge. And it quickly became apparent that a little bit of photoshopping had been done. I think even the originals eventually began to circulate showing there was some clear touch up to the pics.
Iirc Zane implied that he would never touch up or shop his photos. I don't remember now if the one above is the shopped one or not.
-

His wife was pretty cute back in the day.
-
I have only met Zane once as did my older brother and neither of us had any reason to think he was homosexual. I had been to the original Gold's in the '70s and there were more than a few that did the G4P or were homosexual and just whored themselves out for money. FTN. Buttsluts gross me out.
And never did anyone there say anything bad about Zane. Not even as a joke. He was very polite when my son (who was still a kid) and I met him.

Zane the teacher

The girls probably all had a crush on him.

he moved to Palm Springs trained at golds. Palm Springs is a hub for guys worse than San Francisco but I’ve heard stories he used to play the skin flute.

Didn't Sinatra and Johnny Carson live there?

I know Sinatra did but Carson probably did too. I've been there a few times and it looked nothing like San Francisco which has become even more disgusting over the years and not because of homosexuals but because of Democrats.

When he did start to photoshop them, he admitted to it. (In his quarterly magazine he put out).
That little digest sized thing was gold (very well done, great info).
He got into shopping pics, using it on some clients, mainly just for filters, etc... Then he started toying with it on himself.
It was no secret they were shopped when they came out, he said in print they were shopped...
Others argued about it online insanely (like we do here at GB) while sat off to the side chuckling about it...
I did an article for him in one of his issues, back maybe 15+ years ago..

Nah...
Straight, hot wife, etc. In all my years of being around, studying, reading about (the iron game... 45+ yrs), never once heard gay talk about Zane.
-
Zane was not gay.

Dorian Gray was Franks very distant PERPETUALLY YOUNGER cousin.
I`m losing it Nat ! LOL ;D

Frank Zane is a gentleman and a (genuine) scholar. His IQ is without doubt greater than the sum of all other Mr. Olympia winners and contestants combined. The image of Zane's signature vacuum pose was engraved in gold into the disc that rides with the Voyager Spacecraft and was launched (not so coincidentally) in 1977 the year of Zane's first Olympia triumph. The folks at NASA know physical perfection when they see it and be assured that since '77, the Galaxy knows as well.

Bob Paris 84 was superior .

I saw Zane one time on stage and one time in the street in NYC. He looked amazing for so many years. Having said that without steroids I bet he still would have looked good but would have weighted around 170lbs at his 5'9".

Zane for the win. Not even close.

Only if you count out Mentzer, the genius of geniuses. ;D

Zane is intelligent and obtained a Masters Degree. He has a bachelor of science degree, and a second bachelors degree in psychology and a masters degree in experimental psychology.
However, I would estimate that Arnold is more intelligent. Look at what he achieved in California by a guy who couldn't speak English well when he arrived in October 1968. We all underestimated his intelligence. Slowly people had to upgrade their estimate.
Mike Mentzer was probably more intelligent as well. He is one of the few bodybuilders who could write in a philosophical way.
Frank boasted about being the highest educated champion bodybuilder but he forgot about Dr Richard Baldwin PhD. Professor Emeritus of History, Philosophy, and Religion at Gulf Coast State College. Richard won plenty of top contests.

Careful judging people's intelligence by degrees especially in the liberal arts. Baldwin having a PhD in religion isn't the same as having a PhD in Chemistry. Funny thing about Baldwin and his religious degree that he uses to be a professor at a college teaching the subject matter. He's a radical atheist that doesn't tolerate believers. Didn't his preacher father pay for that education if I got the story correct?
I would argue plenty of dumb people have degrees in the liberal arts. Mentzer only had 3 years of college but told everyone who would listen he was on the path to being a medical doctor of psychiatry.
Arnold was driven. Speaks three languages I believe and what he has achieved is amazing by any standards. He is arguably the best bodybuilder of all time. He was the number one movie star for a couple of years. He also has governor of California to his resume.

Goodrum has more diplomas and more blue stars than any of those jokers mentioned above ;D
-
A Masters in experimental pysch sounds like some Cali bullshit.

I dont think so.. Intelligence and being ruthless and driven are 2 different things.
Baldwins a head case. He used to melt down bad when anyone said he used juice back on IronAge.

Terry Strand got in Baldwin's head once or twice.

Being educated and being intelligent are two completely different things.
People who are highly educated tend to think it equals intelligence, but it doesn't. Having a degree just means you can read, comprehend and regurgitate basic information. Which 90% of what you learn is forgotten in 5 years.
Some of the dumbest people i know have Master's degrees or higher.
I dated a girl with a PhD in Sociology. She could barely drive a car or replace batteries in a TV remote.

He claims he's a natural? He actually typed that on IronAge with a straight face?

Terry Strand would ask him if he used and Baldwin would have a meltdown.
