Overall good balance to his physique - but in some shots his arms look like they're lacking.

Why post a pic of a 57 year Frank Zane looking thin? It gives the haters ammunition.

He had overall great symmetry and legit 18" (or close enough to 18") arms.

His arms were a weak point when he was at lower weight. Like 83

No one ever said he was. He was even less than that in 1982 onstage. Like 201-203 pounds. He WAS 220-225 in the offseason in the late 60's (beach pics with Arnold and Draper) as well as rebeefing up in the early/mid 70's (his own claim).



Was he clearly off season though?? Most guys back in that era when they were off season were completely off drugs, Arnold looked 200 pounds in those days, always grew into the shows

Frank Zane at 220-225 pounds  :-*

The 1968 Mr. Universe he was slightly over 200.



The mutton chop version of Zane is my favorite.

It's incredible how they kept their waists tight even at heavier bodyweights

Broad square shoulders on an amazing slim waist, which thickened in his later years.
Good triceps, back definition, diamond calves, strong forearms, full neck and quads...
Lacking biceps and lacking chest depth but nice square form...
Good looking lad with boring personality...
Imagine walking around looking like greek god but lacking energy and charisma...

Their "heavier" bodyweights were less than 230lbs.

More bodyweight requires more food and harder, leaner physiques require more androgens. More food = bloated stomach, more androgens =.enlarged liver.

Who cares how an old guy looks while juicing. Let me see how they look completely off drugs then I'll praise their physique.  Too many guys want credit for how they look on drugs when they know they look like crap 6 months off.  Zane completely off drugs isn't a pretty sight.

I've been off for over 3 months and I'm looking pretty damn good actually

I plan on doing a photo shoot in bout 4-6 weeks and I'm very confident that I will look the best I've ever looked 😎

the gear really didn't do much for me honestly

He definitely wasn't over 200 pounds when he won the 1968 Mr. Universe, he was more like 180-185. Arnold was 250 and he couldn't believe he got beat by someone
who only weighed 180 pounds. That first pic looks morphed too.
Zane was about 185 for this first Olympia win and he gained maybe 2-3 pounds a year for each of his three wins. He was at his best and heaviest weight at the 1979 Olympia.
He injured himself in 1980 and he was much smaller and leaner (probably 180), he took 1981 off and came back in 1982 close to 200 but lost to Dickerson. He hurt his shoulder
the next year and wasn't able to train as heavy so he was smaller again in the 1983 Olympia. That was his last year of competing.
