This is supposed to be bodyBUILDING. Zane has a complete lack of any thickness to his physique. Shawn Ray was 1000x times better than Zane.

Name one current pro that could even come close to hitting this shot! Shawn Ray is the last that I can think of that was even close.

I get a kick out of people who say Zane was too small - no way he was small. Not sure why he is so underrated on this board. Is he Ronnie or Dorian? Of course not, but to claim that he is not impressive is nonsense.

Hi Frank Zane.

You guys dont seem to understand, that was a long time ago. Zane was not known for his mass, he was known for having a smaller detailed physique. He was something that the general public could identify with. He certainly would not be suspected for aas abuse, although he used. If you remember Steve Davis, he was similar to Zane.
Remember who beat Arnold, Zane!

Zane wasnt/isnt my favorite, (as much of a douche that he may be, Shawn Ray probably had the best overall physique IMO), but there isnt ONE pro today that looks anywhere near as good, regardless of how big they may or may not be. (Unless we are still counting Richard Jones...)

He's too old too small and too boring !!!! Lee's Crucfix is the best pose ever.

I think that Zane was highly underrated, (or I should probably say that he IS these days), in his presentation. He had an uncanny way of projecting himself, and making him appear a lot bigger, and more grandiose then his size would warrent. He seemed to understand that part of bodybuilding is being able to sell your act, so to speak.

You make a great point , among people who appreciate a classic physique Zane's is unequaled , he doesn't appeal to a lot of younger guys because he's to light

You touched on the fact he looked pretty ' normal ' in street clothes and pretty unassuming , as Sergio pointed out , until be posed and he looked twice as big , just outstanding proportions and posing

He's one of my all-time favorite bodybuilders

The dude was incredible an artist at best, he knew how to beat the bigger guys with a smaller physique.

Right in his case it was all about illusion and masterful posing

zane's physique can be achieved with 12 weeks of strict dieting and training.

Really? lol you mean his size and conditioning > because you have to be born with those proportions and balance and aesthetics

one of the greatest

I dont think so Zanes physique couldnt be duplicated in 12 weeks...look at this more than 12 weeks - results?

alejandro_torres · « **Reply #46 on:** June 10, 2009, 05:17:59 PM »

fuck eveyone else

i would rather have zanes body over any other bb...

Hmm.... I don't know? He's among the elite, rightfully so. I do think he gets the props he deserves. Not too much, not too less. My opinion

Zane is a legend and will be remembered as such, especially for his InZane workouts.
