A good interview but a bit too abstract for me... wish he would talk about bodybuilding directly more often

That is true . . . said he did not correspond with people he dd not know. THE BEEF emails him and gets responses once a month or so. Of coarse THE BEEF never claimed he could beat Frank Zane.

Does he mention his lifelong resentment of Basile, or how he became THE BEEF in order to stalk the poor fella into a straight-jacket?

Voted by Flex Mag as the greatest physique of all time . . . This is what vic could beat. 1970 M. Canada and five years later 15th in the MR. Austrailia, meanwhile Frank wins three more Universe titles - did you know he had six in total - and three sandows. Frank went on to build exercise equipment ( which sold VERY WELL ) and market a line of supplements which still sell very well.

Frank was over-rated, especially by himself. He is just an old fart now.

the only difference between then and now is that they trained naturally for a lot longer before hitting the juice. Also the juice at the time didnt make their bodies balloons like nowadays stack. Aside from this, there s nothing much to learn it s a pretty blank interview and zane seems a bit full of himself. Most of his statements are pretty lame too. When he says everybody look the same today, well everybody looked the same in the past too, cause it s entirely defined by the drug stack of the time and the kind of training. Each era has its "typical" kind of results/ bodies.

I d also add there are nowadays tons of natural or guys on low amounts of juice who look like he did and even better . They re all over the internet. Tons of pictures of guys who train intensely natural or on low amounts of the same kind of juice he used and look as if not more impressive than he ever did.

The more i listen to these old farts the more i realize they have pretty much nothing to say or teach you cant learn by yourself especially in this day and age of the internet.

Zane beat an out of shape Arnold in Miami in 1968. He couldn't beat Arnold in 1980 when Frank was the reigning Mr Olympia for three years.

What did Frank do? Cried in his hotel room instead of going on the Harbour Cruise with everyone else.

Most people here on Getbig would say Arnold is the greatest bodybuilder of all time.

Why are you unable to just accept that he was in a totally different league than you in both bodybuilding and business? That pic is bs - Zane is still in great shape

Frank is knowledgeable for sure. However, things have changed since he last competed. He said it took time for him to win the Mr Olympia. Yes, with Sergio banned and Arnold retired. He still beat a lot of good guys like

Robby and Mike. Statements about the current guys all looking the same is preposterous. Most have a certain look but Kai looks nothing like Phil or Rami or Shawn. You can't get that huge in a couple of years. I give credit to everyone who

gets huge.

We are comparing Frank to everyone in bodybuilding. Frank had surgery on his shoulders recently so we will see if he can get into shape again. He looks small in

the video. Btw, his gym equipment is simple compared to most of the things I built.

Two more captures from the video. Frank doesn't look like a big bodybuilder anymore. Age catches up with everyone sooner or later.

He hasn't trained much because of the surgery so perhaps he will look better in a few months.

Looks like a pretty good and muscular leg for a man in his 70's. Show us your vic.

he looks lean, healthy and muscular, while you re obviously...fat. Sorry to break it to you, he still wins. Actually he looks in great shape for his age.
