Frank Zane...VIDEO...82 Olympia ..Short and Sweet
« on: March 16, 2018, 06:45:23 AM »
Zane's 1982 posing routine to Pink Floyd's "Run Like Hell". Zane went short and brief that year with his routine at a bit under 2 minutes, but it was awesome. Something about his routines set themselves apart. Enjoy if you are a Zane fan.

he did not have a gut. I wasnt overly impressed with his 82 look but it most definitely is not a gut. watch the video. it's just belly breathing, it happens when you're trying to control your body during a posing routine.

I agree he was too big there. He was 205lbs if my memory serves me. He looked better in the 190lbs range. In the 1980 Olympia he was in the low 180lbs.

Too big maybe for Zane standards. The guy looked puny even here with the bubble gut. Descent triceps but cmon this is a game about muscle!

True but not everyone gives a flying fuck about being "big"

His aesthetics hit thier peak here

He was a buck 80 something I believe

Right before the 77 Mr.  Ho

All of the Zane hatred....and Zane sucks...Zane is small...etc...etc.... ABSOLUTELY SICKENING. 99.9% of EVERYBODY on this site couldnt carry Zanes jockstrap on his worst day or your best day. The man is one of the greatest ever. And that is a fact.

I'm pretty sure this pic was before '77 when he won the Olympia. Looks like either '74 or '76. I think he weighed 187 when he won his first Olympia in 1977.

this is exactly whats wrong with modern bodybuilding. guys nowdays just want to be big. freaky big. doesnt matter that they look like a smashed asshole or 10 lbs of crap in a 5lb container.  yes zane was small. but had great symmetry . standing relaxed he didnt look that good. but when he posed he looked like a statue. people from his era were bodybuilders but they wanted balance. everything had to flow and look good together. it really was an art form. now people just want to get big quick and doesnt matter what they look like. arnold was huge but symmetrical. sergio too. even ferrigno. nubret looked great but lacking thighs and calves. each guy still looked athletic and in proportion. nowdays they look like bad cartoons. its not even a pleasing look. and no one poses well. its all about size. but guess what? none are as big as arnold was in his prime and he didnt have a 50 lb gut. arms chest legs . everything was perfection( before 1980) he looked like zane only bigger. so people stop worshipping these fat un balanced fuck tards and  maybe bodybuilding will be true bodybuilding again
