Most should remember him from the '88 Olympia video battle for gold. He wasn't around for very long. He had really strong legs by 80s standards, but kind of a wide waist. Flawed, but powerful physique

Compared to today's standards... that is not a wide waist at all.

Wasn't he a veggie like Brisbois?

Fortress · « **Reply #3 on:** April 09, 2016, 04:30:52 PM »

Of course! The guy had a killer physique. The 'do was a bit much (think Yates in his initial O appearances). Like, a bit too feathered and "fluffy".

But, yeah, amazing build.

Hope he's well.

Saw him many times at Venice bitd. He went to Chiro school when he quit competing but for some reason I don't know if he followed thru

Slik · « **Reply #5 on:** April 09, 2016, 05:22:01 PM »

I could be wrong but my failing memory tells me that Sean Jenkins around that time also went to Chiro school

he failed the drug test at the world championships. won it the next year and was promoted as a drug free champion. then he was caught with a whole apartment full of steroids. for some reason I think his mother helped with the distribution.

His mother received the steroids for him, and they grabbed up him, her, and a few others. They grabbed him up at the Arnold Classic of all places. He wound up getting probation and community service.

I think Mike Christian was bumming him for a while.

Looks like he'd make a better He-Man than Mike O'Hearn

i don't do drugs but every once in a while it strikes me how stupid it is that a grown adult can't choose to take steroids if they want to. This country is so corrupt. Why then can people smoke? Drink? Hypocrites.

Haha...no one cared about this guy. We all thought he was some type of model just for the covers...not a real bodybuilder. Now...years later someone is posting his pic talking about him...here's your answer...NO ONE CARED THEN...NO ONE CARES NOW!

u r mostly correct. But it's cool for nostalgic purposes to have our memory jarred with even the obscure flash in the pan guys.

I remember Weider making a big push into taking a boatload of his supplements and claiming the guys could look better natural. Luis was one of the poster boys for this claiming he was clean the following year at the Worlds while looking the same if not better.

NO!!!! Big difference between staying positive and being realistic. What I said was the truth. Same goes for all you man-envy lovers writing about Zane. No one cared about Zane back then. No body cared about him. Understand?

MAKE GETBIG GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey son,Zane was once Mega-Popular in his heyday winning the Olympias.

Don`t speak of what you have no clue about.

No Wes...just because you idolized him...same small structure unable to break 180lbs. When Zane won the Olympia people couldn't understand it. Its like Ronnie losing to Steve Brisbois. 2016 Katsumi Kitamura winning the Olympia? Same reaction when Zane did. Now...maybe you upstate NYérs like Zane because you wear coats 10 months outta the year and those big Triple Fat Down Coats make you look like you have an extra 50lbs but no one cared for Zane in the Warmer more important states.
