Blasphemy.


I will say that having hair that takes 2 hours to dry is a bitch, especially in a Canadian winter.

That's the problem, plus I played a bunch of sports in high school so it would just get sticky and nasty with sweat!

Classic physique from the "golden years" of bodybuilding. Times change and so does the perception of what bodybuilding should be. I do think that from the late 70's to the late 80's, bodybuilding seemed much more accepted from mainstream America than it does now. I would rather have a physique like Zane's over today's competitor's because in regular clothes Zane looks like a fit guy.

Midget

Actually, he was about 5' 8" to5' 9" when I met him.  Of course he was much younger than now and we all shrink with age.  No where near a midget unless you are really tall, e.g., 7 feet and more.  A great physique champion who has done more in his lifetime than the majority of us.

This is what a well built man looks like.  On top of that, Zane is intelligent (highly educated), articulate, married to a woman of great physical and spiritual beauty for many, many years and is a gentleman.  His interests have always varied far outside just bodybuilding, which makes him a complete man.  Kinda like the late Steve Reeves.

Good physique Cap but what's with the hair dude?

You're a guitar player man, grow that shit.



  Ah, good ol' Carcass. One of the best metal bands ever.

  And Zane can and will beat any of you vulvas any day.

believe it or not bodybuilding is 10000 more times excepted by the mainstream NOW than in the late 70s n 80s anyone who was really into it back then knows that...i did my sophomore term paper on arnold in 1982 at the time mind you i went to a public school the 2nd biggest one in toledo ohio, roy c start high school. i was 1 of only 2 people into powerlifting and bodybuilding...my teacher and noone else in the class even knew who arnold was.  we all had to read them out loud and show pics of who ur paper was about....noone had a clue who he was.  i will say everyone was amazed by him and i answered questions on it for about 20 mins ......they really had mixed feelings and none of the girls admitted to liking his look...

So according to you Zane would beat for example a Cedric McMillain outweighing him by 60 pds? :D



lmao.. some of these guys on here project their frail bodies with their blind worship of the smallest mr olympia ever..    zane looked absolutely amazing, no doubt about that... but the npc passed him up about 20 years ago...

Nah Zane looks better than 99% of pro bodybuilders, he was the Mr.O so he is used as a referance point.

It could be Nubret or Reeves, it doesn't matter, they represent an idealology that is completely diffeent from modern bodybuilding.

Him being small and people aspiring to his look has jack to do with it. If anything it's far less attainable.

Anybody can get big, absolutely anybody. To look good while not weighing much is entirely down to genetics and structure.

With the right training and supplementation anybody could put on the mass of modern pro bodybuilders.

totally the opposite.

while the physiques might be bigger and have more muscle than they did 20 years ago, bodybuilding has totally regressed in the last 20 years.

just take a look at those worlds championships pics from this year.......now thats old school conditioning and size. they blow away 99% of the pros today.

zane might have been small and 190lbs but the quality of his physique blows away anything today.

Heavy weight means jack shit in bodybuilding.   

This true...if you are taking steroids you are gonna look jacked no matter what you do and what weight you lift....you can curl ten pounds like Zane is doing and still get awesome biceps.

your both retarded.  :D

just because the guys who have been winning the olympia (dorian, ronnie, jay) lack symetry and aesthetics, doesnt mean all npc and ifbb bodybuilders do.


like i said, the npc passed up zane 20 years ago with the coming of ray, wheeler, levrone, cormier and company. the past ten years or so some guys have started losing shape at the expense of size, but not everybody-far from it.


list of guys in last years olympia who have better aesthetics than zane (remember, size is a part of aesthetics too, and if two guys have the exact same physique but one is just a little bit heavier muscled, the bigger guy thus has better aesthetics[he will have a more pronounced x frame, v taper, more definition due to bigger muscle bellies, etc]):

Phil Heath, Dexter Jackson, Ronny Rockel, Hide Yamagishi, Troy Alves, Edward Nunn, David Henry, Steve Namat

WRONG!

Size has nothing to do with asthetics, nothing at all.

Asthetics is all about the beauty of the physique, the artisitic part of bodybuilding. Size is a totally different ballgame.

Most physiques look like shit nowadays, it doesnt matter if its at a local show the npc nationals or the mr. olympia.

The regression of bodybuilding is why shawn ray called this years nationals the worst he's ever seen.

If the NPC has surpassed the physiques of the zane error than why would shawn ray say such a thing? When you said the NPC has gotten so much better?

i didnt look at this years nationals but i would bet that ray was talkign about the depth of the field, and not the class winners(although he may have been rtefering to burneika).

size has everything to do with aesthetics in bodybuilding. without size, you have zero aesthetics. muscle is what creaters the shape - and shape is what forms aesthetics. bigger muscles=more shape, and as long as bodyfat doesnt increase and the abdomen doesnt protrude then that= better aesthetics.



heres juan morel, second place heavyweights at nationals. definitely better than zane, albeit he doesnt have as much abdominal definition as zane, he possess superior aesthetics and size

Wow..................... ........You think that fucking Phil Heath, Dexter Jackson et cetera have better aesthetics than Zane, Nubret......

You are a complete fucking retard if you are being serious.

Do you have any comprehension of what aesthetic is?

The human body can only support a certain ammount of mass before the lines and structure get swamped by mass.

Dexter looks like he has swallowed a tortoise, he has zero taper, Phil heath has the arms of someone 8 foot tall and the chest and width of a 7 year old girl... ::)

Flex Wheeler is a good example, he looked a million times better in his rookie year than he ever did again.

Most people would look at someone like Rockel or Henry and burst out laughing because they look so bad.

Go and ask a thousand people on the street what they think looks more aesthetic Zane or Heath. I would be surprised if more than five people said Heath.

nobody is laughing at rockel's physique.  theres a case to be made about the big guts and awkward social behaviors that some bodybuilders display which makes them laughable, and indeed, laughed at. but a guy like rockel is not drawing any of that attention. 



you have some pre conceptions about admitting anyones superiority to zane. why woudl that be? i can only speculate.. maybe because he was the smallest olympia? are you a small guy always had trouble gaining size??   :)

Line up 5,000 gym rats and give them plenty of juice along with hard training and a decent diet.
They will all makes gains in terms of muscle size and strength.
I suspect some will get a lot BIGGER than Zane in his prime, but guess what? NONE of them will ever be Mr Olympia and/or look like one.
Say what you want, Zane was a three time Mr O, end of debate   'nuff said

Forget Zane. Nubret, Reeves, Paris, Wheeler, whatever.... Rockel has shit genetics and is a bloated midget mess.

If you are going to say that you don't think that Zane carried enough mass then at least say he falls short of someone with a superior structure, like a Flex Wheeler or a Bob Paris.

You have absolutely no idea what aesthetic means.

"Aesthetics is size" lol.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

You're comparing a guy who couldnt win the heavies in what shawn ray called the weakest nationals in the history of the event to a 3x mr.olympia.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Thats laughable at best.

And size has zero to do with asthetics. thats why they judge size and asthetics as two seperate entities. because one has nothing to do with the other.

And Shawn Ray was talkin about the quality of the physiques at the show. It was terrible.

Try again taylor, your argument here is terrible. Zane, Nubret, Paris, thats bodybuilding. An early wheeler, shawn ray, makaway, haney, thats bodybuilding......

What you see onstage today is SHIT!

"Aesthetics is size" lol.

i already mentioned wheeler as being superior to zane. zane looked awesome. how many times do i have to say that. but theres 500 guys in the npc today who look better than he did. not all the guys, and not all the guys that are winning either. npc/ifbb judges dont always award the best physiques. there is a case to be made about the "downfall of bodybuilding" in regards to the distended stomachs, wide waists and the lack of conditioning that has been accepted in mr olympias and other top spots, but those guys usually have a shit load of mass to go along with it. alot of guys dont get distorted, keep their aesthetics, and achieve a bigger, better body than zane had.








flexington- find any one pitcure of zane in a similar pose where its clear he is the better bodybuilder. you wont be able to. the guy up there cant win his class at nationals, but his physique shits all over zanes. more development in all the muscle groups, more pronounced x frame, smaller waist, etc.

Ill do one better, I cant find a pic of zane that DOESNT blow that dude away.

If there was someone today who had zanes physique with 20lbs plus of muscle he'd be mr.olympia over and over and over.

You gotta look past size when it comes to bodybuilding. Size while important isnt everything. If that was the case marcus ruhl, art atwood, paco bautista, etc etc would be your Mr.O . Size is only one aspect.

The guys in the npc now blow away Zane is terms of size only, but the quality is so much less, that this shouldnt even be an argument. You notice no one else is backing you up in this thread??? Doesnt that say something T?

Spot on.

Zane was really the best, there's not one who is more pleasing to the eye, it's also almost impossible to find a pic of Zane where he doesn't look superb.
