I'm a bigger fan of his early '70s look, and most of his critics seem to look to these years when picking him apart. He came in much heavier but still looks pretty sharp.

YEAH and he was older too his face was aged and the thickening 'look'his waist was due to age,being bigger than usual,he looked 'chemical'with the times in early 80's to keep up with bigger guys who were getting bigger and bigger.

Zane has a nice swimmer physique he would stand out at your local YMCA.

The modern gut, synthol, insulin era has given a new love for Zane.

Zane was never impressive size wise. Conditioning - definitely.

Ppl are saying zane had size... Look at him next to guys who were 220/230. Lol... Hes like shawn ray. Type of guy who says "nah, i dont wanna do the stuff required to be that big". Bullshit. Doesnt matter what they do or how much they take, theyre not gonna have the size of other guys.

I have the DVD of the '82 Olympia when Zane weighed 200 pounds. He looks much better in the relaxed round, his extra size made a difference. However, when he posed, the muscularity and definition were not as sharp as they were in the years when he won the Olympia.

Shawns best look was around 210, he couldn't hold his conditioning even when he got "bigger" at 215, that's why he stayed relatively the same for a decade, not that he didn't want to get bigger but cause he couldn't and it would mess up his lines and conditioning

Flex wheeler was the same, their frames couldn't hold the mass like Ronnie, levrone, Cormier, etc

Onstage at a pro show everybody is trying to take more than they think the other guys are using and get bigger than the next guy. Nobody "chooses" to be smaller.
