Just because what you see in the mirror, and what tape measurement to you confirms that you have big arms, does not mean you have great, good, or even decent arms.

You've been around long enough that you should know better.  Age is messin with your head and eyes sir.

Well, compare me to Frank Zane. We are about the same age. He looks like an ordinary old man now. Arnold has lost most of his impressive size. The list goes on.

My arms are still growing. Triceps are the biggest they have ever been. That is nothing short of amazing to me. I now train arms twice a week. Will see how I go.

Has it ever occurred to you that Vince actually knows the difference between big arms verses muscular and defined arms? Could be he's just having some fun at all of our expense.

He looks a little light in the loafers.  What kind of relationship did the two of you have?

How do I compare with you? Go look at guys who are 76. How many have large arms from training them?

By the way, I am bulky, not fat! My arms are solid. They have to be to lift with weights I am lifting.

LOL. No homo here.  We were at a Focus Photography Awards night in Sydney. First time I have seen him since Malvina days in 1977.

Look his name up on Facebook and see some great photos. Michael Hruby.

Okay, I made the comparison you suggested. Hate to break it to you, Frank Zane looks considerably more fit than you do and he's not even flexing his arms in that photo.





Frank Zane at 74 years of age.



Comparing your physique to Frank Zane's at any age is probably not the best way to go.

Don't take my comments to heart.

Compared to me you look fat bulky. Your arms are likely somewhat solid (can't tell by looking at them). With out doubt you and I have different body types. I have never been as muscular or defined as you when you were a 27 year old Canadian IFBB Pro contestant. All in all, you look okay for a fella who is 76 years old. Has your physician ever suggested you cut a few pounds of 'safety fat' to avoid having a heart attack? How is your blood pressure? -Any issues with diabetes?

One thing is for sure, both you and Zane have more hair than my bald pate.

I've intentionally lost another 5 pounds bringing me down to 170 lbs. Not too bad for being 5'10". I'm working on my body's symmetry. The difference in measurement between my waist and chest is hovering around 10". My glutes are small and my quads have some definition, but no size these day's. Although, I fill out skinny jeans pretty well. Same is true for my arms. I wear 32" X 32" pants. My neck is 16.5". My arms used to match my neck size but now they are only about 15" cold. I haven't consistently gone to the gym in several months. Obviously, I need to get to it.

Most folks who are into bodybuilding and some who are into strength training have a bit of a narcissistic streak. This can result in being overly obsessed with our physiques. It can also make us somewhat delusional when we see ourselves in the mirror or a photo.

My guess is that he's not. He's been married to his wife Christine since 1967 (also a bodybuilder) .

Zane markets himself well. However, if you want to see how he looked about a year ago watch this video.

Not at all a big guy anymore.

Was Zane ever a 'big' guy? During his peak years he claims his contest weight was 180 -185 lbs. and bulked weight was 200 lbs. and stood 5'9". He also had the second thinnest waist, with Sergio coming in first. Those were the good old days when most competition bodybuilders had human sized proportions. In my opinion he had a physique I'd be very pleased to have myself, back in the day.

You are splitting hairs. Zane is a shadow of his former self. An old man with small muscles. Look at the video. Does he look like he lifts weights?

Not necessarily. But then, neither do you. You live an active life well into old age, as have Zane and I. We all must be doing something right, regardless of how we look now as compared to ourselves a younger men.

Vince, you got in shape for that 1970 contest but how many years after that did you maintain a bodybuilder's shape?



Aside from his competitive years, Frank Zane maintained an excellent physique for his age for several decades:


 

At his current age of 76 he seems to be in good health, not overweight or obese.

He had to have the smallest skeletal structure of any Olympia winner.

Do you think Arnold was/is on TRT ?

We know he has heart problems.
