How big did Zane get?

[Zaphod]

Most of the time Zane looked a lot smaller than his competitors, but once in a while you'll come across a shot of him looking pretty swole. What was his heaviest weight?

[Moosejay]

He actually bulked up into the 240-250 range in the middle 60's, but was flummoxed after cutting back down to competitive 180's-190's because for all of it, he only gained several pounds of muscle.

He won his Olympia's in the 187 to low 190's range.

Actually, for his last Olympia at 41, he went on stage at 205 (heaviest ever competitively) and likely lost the title due to the concomitant loss of definition that came along with it.

205? Eeeeenteresting, as they say.

[Moosejay]

yeah, I just ordered that...its his latest....

There's a rumor going around that he used a little oil in one of his latest photo shoots. I'm not sure if there's any truth to it.

[Danimal77]

I heard 220-225 pounds. 240-245 sounds too big for a man who measured around 5'9".

Zane was know as the Chemist.

Sorry Moose, have to disagree with you here. It was in 1982 at the Olympia where he was weighing around 200 pounds and lost to Dickerson. His last show was in 83 and he came in lighter, probably 190 or under and finished 4th, the year Samir won.

Actually...I think Frank admits the best & biggest he ever was....

was before the 1980 Olympia contest until he slipped at the pool & tore his urethra

What was he "doing" in the pool?

[knny187]

I believed he slipped on the side of the pool....not in it

[Tombo]

TORE his urethra? OMFG

Because he taught chemistry, douchebag.

Sheeooot...really? I am off on that one, then! I do know he regretted he went so heavy the time he was 200/2005...

I think he taught math... and, according to some, was known as the chemist because he was so good with supplements, viatamins and micronutrients.

Zane was sitting in one of those metal pool lounge chairs that have the weaving/ woven nylon strips in it...it collapsed under his weight while he was sunning poolside, and one of the sharp, broken metal rods punctured his urethra. This was two weeks pre-Olympiaa, and he almost bled to death. Came in somewhat underweight for Sydney...but, of course, Arnold urged him not to pull out of the show...

Thanks Moosejay some on here are quick to name call with No Fukin Brains.

I read that and thought to myself, hmm the urethra problaby some tendon in the leg or whatever.

Then I googled it.

OMFG.

[Danimal77]

Zane was a mere 180 pounds for his 1983 Mr. Olympia outing. He was much heavier in 1982 (around 200 pounds).
