Frank Zane 1982

[The Scott]

Bad poetry...doesn't rhyme.

He is Getbig"s Beatoffnik and is spraying the audience with antiposto schmoetry.  We must accept we are in the presence of not just the Now but also the Past and the Future of existential fraudybuilding.    The Great bhank is our Andy Whorehall and this board is the canvas upon whiich he feeds us.   In the words of The Manholorian, "This is the Ghey"...

The air in these forums is turgid with his talent.

[IroNat]

Now that is eloquence!

Well done, Maestro Scott.

[funk51]

You mean like this 160lb beast?

   just don't get in a fight with the second beast over a cheeseburger. if you do it's game over for you.

[Bevo]

So many beasts on getbig I can’t even keep up

Great pic. Hard to believe you were ever in that kind of shape. And you weren't that juiced or juiced at all. Way above average genetics and I think you could have gone far. We're about the same age and if I was in that kind of shape back then I would have taken bbing much more seriously and give a shot at competing. But, I think you've posted that pic enough already. We got it.

I'm too lazy to load my old BB pics (in photo album) onto the lap top I post from 
Maybe , I'll being 'em to Wal-mart photo and have them do it. But it's in the past and I wasn't anything great, so WTF.

Thanks for the compliments , but, I know from actual contest experience what my BB future was.
Future NC pros, like Johnny Stewart or Mike Valentino, etc; had moved past me by the late 80's.
It wasn't by taking more drugs . They just had that winning "look" on stage, under the contest lights.

I tried to make a go of bodybuilding and wasn't making it.
So, I opted to go back to school and start a more mundane career path.

Now, over 30 years later , I'm : retired ,healthy, secure, happy and FINALLY married to my "soul mate".

Happy endings are just stories that havent finished yet....

The Olympia wasn’t the only contest those years and he won because of politics and being the first to discover thyroid hormones not becasue he added the most muscle to his frame

But yeah personally I want to look like Pete not Frank and Pete was also competing those years though not in the Olympia I think his build destroys Zane who just looks like a conditioned athlete. I ha w been a conditioned athlete.  Pete was a Freak I have never been a freak

Be a fan of any former pro you want.
But just understand and ACCEPT, your OPINIONS don't match historical reality or the majority in the sport.

If I recall correctly,years ago you posted other contest pics

At any rate you looked great now go close the garden gate   LOL

Thanks and you did better in bigger contests , so I have to give you props.
I toyed with doing a masters nats when I turned 40 and later when I hit 50.
BUT, the drive was long gone, like a fart gas from 5 min later...it faded away.


From my old cpu that went belly up a few years ago 

I should load all my old , meaningful photos on a flash drive by now.
No excuses, I just haven't bothered to take 'em in and get it done.

I did more shows than you,  but you looked fantastic.......I was at the very least mediocre by comparison.......and I`m being quite generous to myself.

I did 41 shows and won some "Mr Podunks" . BUT, I  never won or placed high in ANY national NPC contest.

My most satisfying win was the 1994 NPC Ironman "natural" , at the Baton Rouge, La Centroplex ( AUG).

I made the top 5 cut for the Lt Hvy's in the 1988 Jr USA. But  I got DQ'd when I didn't show up for the night finals.
* I met a cute , thick blonde at the prejudging and spent the rest of the weekend at her place, 30 miles away. 100% true.

We starting to sound like " the polite gophers " with  mutual admiration  LOL.

[Howard]

bhank is a true Getbigger claiming he has a better body than a 3X Olympia winner.

Bingo! I'm not sure he claims he's better then Zane, but he does seem a bit "full of himself".

In my OPINION, it's fine to post a pic and say you feel good about your physique.
Nobody expects another getbigger to look like some top IFBB pro.
If he was low key and even made fun of himself, he'd get a lot more, virtual  pats on the back.

The problem is he's come up with a lot of reasons why he can't compete .
 BUT feels he could kick ass if he did.

Maybe he could  and maybe he couldn't? Unless you put it on the line, you sound like a "paper tiger".
If I've learned anything from 20 yrs on getbig, it's this.

Most posters will  bust your balls, but give sincere respect for legitimate achievement .

For example, I respect BHanks for coming back and rebuilding after a tough set back with injuries.
But acting like he's owed  respect for it, is what puts getbiggers on the defense.

[pamith]

Bhank has thicker hands and head.

Bro...

[pamith]

IS THIS IDIOT FUCKING DELUSIONAL OR WHAT?

COMPARING YOURSELF TO A PRIME FRANK ZANE...........a guy who won 3 Olympias.

Seek help bro, you are fucked up in the head !!

What's funny is Bhank is really tall at 6'5'' while Zane was only 5'9''. At 210 lbs Bhank would look small next to Zane

[Humble Narcissist]

Really?  I thought Bhank said he was only 5'8.

[pellius]

You mean like this 160lb beast?

No, that's not a standing relaxed pose. That's a skinny guy. That is not a bodybuilder. I mean, just standing relax. I don't know why that would be a problem as you post pics of yourself in various poses.

You were 30 and 194lbs in the pic you shared. I am 43 that is an entirely different division and I am 225. I would absolutely win local and state level shows for my age group just rolling out of bed. However fuck no I have no desire to spend a weekend in a bikini on stage. I can flex for 5 minutes then go eat I dont need to flex for half an hour and starve myself for a weekend.

Go enter a contest and when you don`t place, then you`ll find out it` not as easy as you think it is......you always talk about height and weight as you are taller and heavier but this doesn`t  make you "LOOK" better.....you just dont get it cuz YOU KNOW JACKSHIT ABOUT BODYBUILDING.

Oh and just an FYI, Howards physique in his prime , and yours in your prime, would be like a stallion versus a pile of donkey shit.....you`d be the donkey shit.

I`ve seen more pics of Howard than just the one he posted and he had a damn good build light years ahead of your delusional ass.

He placed top 5 in his class at the Jr. USA when bodybuilders were better than the blobs of shit that compete today.

[bhank]

Dude that is you and you are 160lbs so shut the fuck up the gig is up

[pellius]

There is no gig. I never claimed to be a beast. You do. Is there something you're hiding from just doing a simple standing relax shot? We already know and see that your head is out of proportion to your body. Do you have a wide waist and don't want to be seen straight on? Or are you structurally narrow? You keep posting that same old shots. Mix it up a bit with the simplest pose there is.

[wes]

Dude that is you and you are 160lbs so shut the fuck up the gig is up

I hope you end up going to bb.com.....you are one disrespectful mutherfucker insulting men you couldn`t hold a candle to and some are 20 years or more your senior and would mop the floor with you to this day

No respect for people who have been here for 20 years you delusional fucking goon.

BTW your physique is a tattered mess of mishapen torn up disproportionate shit.

Yeah I know 238 pounds of bloated edema holding wide waisted shit is better than 165 tiny little pounds.
 

[pamith]

Really?  I thought Bhank said he was only 5'8.

No, he's 6'5'' and about 238 lbs

Guess what you win for "rolling out of bed" and NOT showing up to compete? 

Right now, you sound like  Uncle Rico 

Either get off that step and go for it or quietly do your own thing on your own terms .
BUT please refrain from telling us how EASY you could win a contest.
It's a lot easier to win Mr Pooldeck when you're the only guy in the contest.

He`s a big fish in a little pond Howard....he`ll never compete cuz when he loses his fragile ego will be shattered and he`d probably off hlmself.

No, he's 6'5'' and about 238 lbs

6’5.68992778
