1942, wes. Not 1842. ;D

Jk.

People on here act like 63-64 is old. At 37, I feel like that will be here in the blink of an eye.

So true.  You know, it's funny because I don't think I've ever seen or heard anyone say the mass game is better.  How the organizations haven't figured this out yet boggles my mind.

I was just thinking yesterday(no homo) of why don’t we ever hear about the dominant Zane years in regards to the competition? I honestly have no idea who came in the top 5 for those years, and never see anyone talk about it. Kind of like the Bannout and Dickerson Olympias. All we hear about is Sergio vs. Arnold, Arnold vs. Nubret/Louie, and Arnold vs. Mentzer and the gang.

An icon of his physique type, no question, but I’ve just never liked his look.

Happy Birthday Frank - sorry I never did get around to ordering that Leg Blaster[TM] from you




I rarely participate in a Zane thread, as I must confess to never really being much of a fan. So while I'm here would somebody please be kind enough to explain to me the origin of Zane's nickname, "The Chemist"?

Was it because:

a.  He was an expert in the use of the usual performance enhancing drugs that were available at the time

b.  He was able to theorise about the 'off-label' use of pharmaceuticals to get the anabolic effect

Or:

C.  Neither - it was just because he had to take a lot more sh1t than the others to get results  ;D
